  1. Manual controls
  2. 51/32lmin - winch is used on low flow only. New £3700 ish, my one for you my friend special price £2700 ish.
  3. Easily done… I’ve got one on my Vermeer it’s very useful. You can get a avant headstock made up easily enough and with the extra weight it would be decent I’d wager. The winch is 3.5t and doubled up on a block it’s a powerful tool! I primarily used it for one job winching off felled timber on an incline. I’d probably sell on… feel free to dm.
  4. Not exacting indeed especially in what seems to be an ever growing illogical world.
  5. Of course I agree critical thinking is valuable, the idea that it can become “second nature” through repeated use oversimplifies the process imo. Critical thinking often requires conscious effort—we can’t always be on guard, nor can we fact-check everything we encounter. In fact, over-reliance on skepticism can lead to “paralysis by analysis,” where people distrust information to the point where it only leads them to reinforce their own view. This is how modern politics/media is triumphing over the layman….just sheer amounts of information which cannot possibly be fact checked at the time of delivery (depending on your appetite) leading people to run with their biases. We then fall fowl of a new age problem - people can no longer admit they’re wrong!
  6. Apologies - think more philosophically rather than anatomically. How can you choose to critique what you don’t believe/know?
  7. Optional to uk residents and imposed on newly registered migrant workers/asylum seekers - grasp on reality remains intact, as this will not be the case there is greater things at play…. “Your nose is always present, but invisible to you most of the time because your mind has chosen to filter it out. In the same way, there are truths, patterns, or even parts of yourself that are always there, yet unnoticed because you’ve grown accustomed to them”
  8. I’m trying to understand how it will do anything different than the NI number and anti fraud checks already in place. At best it’s a red herring to make it look like something’s being done, at worst it’s another way of mandating something which will later be exploited (legislation/law already in place will make it easier to impose future control/restrictions. Eager to learn - am I missing something?
  9. IMO you’re not wrong to think that. I am based in southwest and pay my climbers (sub contractors admittedly) between £250-£350 a day, the latter if it’s crane work or requires full/specialist rigging and I expect them to be able to carry out all tasks to a safe and high standard! So somebody in your position I would happily pay more than you’re currently on. I wouldn’t expect you to know the turnover as you’re an employee but it seems you have paid your dues with the company and a convo is needed! Good luck
  10. Taking everything you say at face value - I would pay you £180 a day (after tax/PAYE). There are a lot of variables at play though - is most of your work domestic? How saturated is your area? Just bear in mind that not all businesses /owners are making loads of money which will be reflected in what they can pay their staff (not your problem I know but is if you’re geographically locked). You sound like you work well as part of the company and maybe all you need to do is have a chat with the boss!
  11. Ice skating - been playing ice hockey for the last few years in Bristol. Grew up skating at Ally pally in jeans, one slip and you’d be soaking wet and freezing, taught you to get good pretty quick!
  12. Don’t worry the BBC with their unbiased coverage have got it covered 👍
  13. What’s the point of these posts may I ask? If we can break down your last two posts - some men peeing on a wall by your logic means they’re not patriotic? Could it not be like everything in this country that the council/organisers didn’t properly organise ahead of the protest? And your second post - reportedly between 150-200 thousand people turned out and 25 arrests were made that’s 0.017% hardly a lawless far right rally was it. I don’t have a dog in any fight in particular but lazy, unintelligent reposting of news stories to fit somebody’s narrative has just become accepted and the new norm. Do the posts give you sense of wellbeing (you might even get a like further entrenching your opinion) or have I got it completely wrong and you just enjoy cut and pasting in your free time?
  14. It is a good article however slightly undermines its point by introducing Charlie Kirk as a “figurehead of the far right”. Further echoes impartiality by only referencing far right actions (especially given the current climate) but its key three points I feel are bang on the money!
  15. Key word being context
  16. How hard is it to fact check something before posting? This snippet has been clipped from a debate he was having about affirmative action - in short he just hopes the pilots qualified and hasn’t been given the job based on his colour. Context is everything but at least we now know you probably blindly peddle drivel daily.
  17. What’s the model omef saw? and price? Did you try any other saw units? Looking for one for my 8t
  18. There is no comparison - green climber all day long! Robocut are great machines for the price if you’re mostly doing grass and light bramble day to day however if you want something to do grass, scrub & small diameter saplings it’s the green climber. The green climber are a premium machine and will cost more if they go wrong but the output should far outweigh that.
  19. Anyone had any experience with the fae mulcher - it’s to go on a 8t machine. TIA
  20. Good experienced climber around Oxfordshire paye £40-45k
  21. Give ecology a go - I would wager you already know more than most field surveyors. If you’re happy to travel and take anything that comes £20-25phr plus expenses will get you plenty of work, build up your experience and skill base get a couple of class licenses under your belt and charge more per hour/daily rate. The above is heavily seasonal so then spend the rest of the year gaining experience working in arb/forestry in a machine/working on a machine! I would take someone like yourself over a younger chap all day long, as you presumably know how to graft and have a true understanding of business. Good luck
  22. “Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness rather than beg for permission” perfect answer! We live in a mad world where by people question whether they can climb a tree on public land 😆 as people have said just be polite if questioned and keep your kit off the floor .
  23. There’s no decent apps, well not that I’ve found. We use google sheets and it works well, you can create exactly what you need.
  24. Id be happy to, my ecological rate is £60ph feel free to message me.
