Chainsaw – Fall trees manually (basic)
Need to drop small trees safely and effectively? Want to keep it simple? Here are the basics, presented simply. Safety, maintenance and operation. Two days of indispensable training for the novice chainsaw operator.
Operate four wheel drive vehicle
Where can you take a 4WD? OK. Better question: where can you take a 4WD and then bring it back again? What trouble can you get into, and how do you get out of it? How do you prevent yourself getting into trouble? These questions and many more are covered in Tocal’s two-day 4x4 training course.
Operate Tractors
The better you know how to operate and maintain a tractor, the safer and more productive your farm will be. Learn about how to set up tractors for your business, become familiar with the controls of tractors, and learn how tractors affect biosecurity.
Service and maintain small powered machines
From brush cutters to ride-on mowers, this one-day Tocal course will take you from the service manual to the service bay, from theory to hands-on. Safely and efficiently.
Chainsaw – Operate a pole saw
When a chainsaw is too big to carry up a ladder, and too dangerous to use while on the ladder, a pole saw is exactly the tool you need. But what sort of pole saw? And how do you use it safely? Tocal’s one-day course can help you get the most out of this useful tool.
