    Industry related Spanish language podcasts

    As you like. Duolingo is not exactly a waste of time, but it is just a game really. Podcasts and apps are no substitute for putting the groundwork in.

    Industry related Spanish language podcasts

    Learning a new language as an adult is difficult. You’re unlikely just to ‘pick it up’ just by listening to podcasts. You will be better off getting lessons and starting from scratch.

    Another thing to consider. Outside of the tight access jobs that little Jo-beau will be as much use as a chocolate teapot. The Forst/Timberwolf can substitute in for your bigger chipper and get the job done.

    Figures about throughput don’t tell the real story (even if you believe them) The Forst (and I’ve had the wheeled version) is in a completely different league to that jo-beau. Here it is a good few years ago with the 44 hp engine, newer ones are 55 hp I believe.

    It’s just not pleasing to watch, like you say blunt blades or something. For me the Forst or Timberwolf is much more of a professional machine. You need something that can keep up with or outstrip a groundy, crush forks and not constantly frustrate.

    Another Avant question

    It could be the self leveling, so when you raise pallet forks or whatever they stay at the same angle. Mine had that hidden in the loom and it worked! So put it in the panel Second is a reset for service light.

    Tree Cracking from Freezing

    It’s a sort of trope about avoiding using the metric system.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Looks good to me, client keeps his tree for a couple more decades, you get paid. Some people might get a fit of the vapours, more fool them. I like it best when they use the phrase ‘ticking time bomb’ to describe a topped tree.

    Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

    They wouldn’t be so bad but for the fact that Husky have a simpler effective solution.

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    You’re doing what now?

    Questions for Canadian Arborists from the UK

    I did 10 years building up a little business in the UK, then left it all and started in France aged 42 in 2005, not too many regrets, maybe wish I was younger when I did it. Don’t die wondering. Make it happen.

    Questions for Canadian Arborists from the UK

    How old are you @Blue_Pine? I’m not in the US or Canada so don’t expect any advice from me. But I did work in the UK so I understand your pain about Leylandii reductions and the desire to do more “pure” tree work.

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    They’re not ideal pollards, but ok. Just cut them back to the pollard head, chip it, collect the chèque and on to the next one.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Agreed, if it’s not the most difficult skill to acquire in the trade, it’s certainly in the top 1.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Don’t get the hump, I was only pointing out a general trend in the US as opposed to Europe. It wasn’t a dig, just observation, a generalisation perhaps, but a correct one I think. Don’t invade Greenland or anything rash because of it!
