????ing hell mate ,wont be long til your laid up with a serious injury the way things appear ,as for helmets always wear mine ,cos the ????ing things got ear defenders and a face guard ,

yes mate i have priced up a 352 from B-TRACK...do you know where they can be bought cheaper ??????

usual 13.5k 1k discount if you want new of that make n model then i`d bust open the piggy bank mind you thats a serious amount of turnover ( especially stump work) ,in order to recoupe 12.5k and a wage for your operator + costs
personally not me however its your money

i have got to agree teressa
i was dismantling a snapped out syc which was over n 11century church last week as i was climbing a 1.5` * 8" lump of torn timber from about 15` above me decided it was a good time to leave the tree via my face , i always were my helmet. my face visor saved my front teeth, i got one hell of a thick lip mind, still we finished the job though !

with the way things are going with regards to tree work ,we all have to do our bit to put across a professional image ,company logo,a uniform ,same pants lids etc ,the only way to bring tree work out of the dark ages and into the 21 century is to let people ,ie the public know that we are not all cowboys with white tranny vans,imo this should be at the fore front of the public education excerise ,ppe is there to be worn for a reason ,i always work with ppe due to the good image ,professional image that it brought across,not having a go blue ,just trying to get my point across,if its there mate then wear it ,comfort ,personal choice shouldnt come into it ,but common sence should ,work safe and go home ,,,,,every day ,

yes i agree we (arborists ) can and should upgrade our profile, however the public still allow the gyp`s to con them.
the gyp`s have no exp, no ins, no ppe, no idea, no conscience,
there should be a government led agency better placed than the h&s exec and trade standards to call on when these hack n slash merchants are seen
i saw the typical 3 man white van jeans n rigger boot outfit working on a school grounds the other day ( a publicly funded organisation ) if they won`t support the proffessionals then god help us !
coz we the legal co`s keep getting shafted with more and more bright bloody
ideas from the ones who should help we pay tax pikies don`t

got to admit Blue i think you definatly should wear a helmet 1 chip in the eye could blind you and 15 years from now when your deaf you might have wished you had wore ear defenders..ian i think the time saved and feul savings make the 352 a great buy ,im out 2-3 day's a week grinding stumps..anyone want to buy my 252 410 hours £5000 ovno +vat
