I bought it from a retired Rebel Alliance X-Wing pilot... Compared to my trusty old Husqvarna helmet. The X-Wing has better visability, better hearing protection, fit is comparable. It's early days, time will tell.... Visor doesn't fog up, but it's been warm weather thus far.

seeking work 6 years exp, seeking Forestry employment & upskill
Quirkus posted a topic in Employment
Hi all, I'm looking for forestry work, training, or any role that's more specialised from my current grounds maintenance experience. Which consists of 6 years operating cyclindar, rotary, pedestrian mowers, industrial strimmers & cutters, spraying (unlicenced & supervised), pitch marking, and all general maintenance duties. Handled business estates, schools, parks, roadside hedge rows, flower beds, grass fields, verges, embankments, and feature flower abd shrub beds on roundabouts. Looking to move into forestry/ranger/conservation/regeneration work, or other specialist botanical/arborist roles in order develop further skills/qualifications and face new challenges. I've also several years hobbiest experience in bonsai, so there's some knowledge on the sciencey stuff regarding tree maintenance and health. CV & Contact info available on request. And can start immediately. (Unfortunately no drivers licence though, looking to go for the lessons and test once in stable employment) Thanks for reading! Any questions or suggestions on the above, then feel free to comment and we'll pick up from there! Best wishes, Kevin -

What a tool! I brought one of these Ratchet felling wedges over a year ago, reason being that I've always wanted a hydraulic version as i like the engineering principle, but at 2.5k the hydraulic ones are a bit expensive! These are a fifth of the price! So when i saw Treadlight Forestry advertising these on Facebook, i ordered one straight away (despite loads of typical bitchey Facebook comments) I kind of expected it to just sit in the truck not doing much, but I'm amazed at how much it gets used, and what it will lift/push over. 25 ton lifting force, and lifts about the same height as 2 wedges stacked ontop of each other (which tips a tree a fair way!) However you can insert wedges into the open back cut, remove the ratchet wedge, wind in, re insert and keep going if needed (not yet!). Its really easy to use, much much less effort than banging wedges in. The last pic was 30c in summer, 30 trees to fell away from a school, no sweat was broken! most were leaning towards the school slightly, so we would normally have set a line in with a throwline (LOTS of faffing about!) No need with this little beast! Its really goon on dead trees, where banging wedges in shakes the whole tree, this gently pushes it over. The size is really compact, easy to find a place for it in the truck. Its relatively light, marketed as being able to hang it on your forestry belt is stretching it a bit, its too heavy for that imo - It weighs as much as a small ground saw. No problems at all so far, and its been a really good buy, if i lost this one id have no hesitations about buying another! -
