  1. I have 700 hours of experience on the machine so am proficient with it. I can provide it with a log grab, brush grab, pallet forks, bucket or flail head (+£20 for flail head). It is 42 inches wide and can lift a ton close in. I have track mat’s, large saws, ropes and a winch that I can supply at additional cost as well if needed.

  3. A few off the top of my head, staff shortage, skill shortage, wage shortage for a lot of individuals, less than ideal training for a potentially dangerous job with a fair bit of responsibility, I could go on. You may not face any issues Mick but a fair few do.
  4. In defence of KateH and to a lesser extent Paul Elcoat, there is a difference between a “subby” who works for one firm only for a little more than what a sensible salary would be per day who pays no tax and thinks they are better off and an experienced contract climber who knows what they are doing, have the relevant tickets etc, bring all their own kit, are properly organised and have accurate accounts. Let’s be honest we are all aware of the former and in all possibility have been in a similar situation to varying degrees, possibly unknowingly early on in our careers and it is an issue with the industry. However, in my opinion, for what that’s worth, we do not value manual craftsman in this country anywhere near where we should and this article and the other is a case in point. Climbing is not seen, to a lot of people, as a valued, respected and viable long term career, and because of this are not paid enough hence the reason there are not enough people in the industry, especially skilled individuals who have a decade or two or even three under their belt. In fact I would say that this is at the root of a fair few of the issues we face as an industry. I think both individuals would have done well to highlight the nuance between the two in their articles but I guess it just shows the prevailing attitude. You can have longevity as a climber but you have to look after yourself physically, be savvy and pace things. If you compare the attitudes and working environments for manual workers in mainland Europe to the UK the difference is stark. I would tentatively state that becoming/ staying employed as a climber in the UK past a certain point in your career will not help your long term outlook for longevity.

    Reconditioned Bandit 150 ld 1100hrs total Bought from Global recycling at 600hrs with a new control unit, full re-spray, new break shoes, tyres and any bearings needed etc. at 250hrs a brand new engine was fitted by deutz and at 500hrs a new toe hitch was fitted a new virtually indestructible lighting board was fabricated and the feed rollers have been removed and sharpened. Currently there is 517hrs on the clock but this will go up slightly as it is in use. The new engine has only done 277hrs. Its 2.2 ton and a bandit 12” so will take a bit more than that. I am selling due to downsizing and a change of work that we are undertaking. It’s a very good example of one of these machines and will go on forever if looked after. Price is ONO and no VAT to add. contact me on 07828597984 for more information.

  7. I am looking to build my client base in the Falmouth area but am happy to drive up to an hour. I have 16 years industry experience climbing that covers all areas of tree work but tend towards the more technical end of the job nowadays, am confident tackling anything that would be expected, I have run teams, worked with various bits of machinery and know what someone wants from a contract climber. I have all my own fully LOLER’d climbing and rigging kit and numerous saws, and CS 30, 31, 32, 38, 39, 42. Contact me on 07828597984 if you would be interested. I can provide further details upon request.
