Henchman tripods of any suitable size are not going to fit on a car roof rack. I dont like the idea of them although I have not used one. I imagine the normal section combination-extension, folding or telescopic types will do what I'm after. I've used similar folding ones, good for small domestic hedges but so is standing in a full to the top green bin or stack of bulk bag. They are not very high and I want something taller. Werner 12 Way Aluminium Combination Ladder | Toolstation WWW.TOOLSTATION.COM Why buy multiple ladders when one will do the job? With the Werner 12 in 1 combination ladder, you'll be ready to work at height in almost any location.Use it... If they did a larger version of the same thing. I do both small domestic hedges, fruit trees, and larger giant hedges surrounding massive estates although the latter are with estabilished arb companies that usually have a beaten up, unsafe, wobbly ladder. They have usually had more log hits on the rungs than the pan of a motorway services WC, and just as unpleasant to use. The last one I used, the pin that locks it into the A frame mode, kept slipping out on one side, not fun. If its a conifer hedge being re-topped I'll usually climb the hedge directly, as was the case with yesterdays laurel and australian cheesewood. However most hedges are not strong enough to climb so for yesterdays job I had to go back with our 3 step domestic decorating step ladder , just about did the job to reach to the back. If the ladder is stable I am usually happy to stand near the top of an 11 rung A frame without it being footed, possibly higher, I cant remember how long the previous ladder was. I dont like going above the A frame using the extensions, I dont have the balance to do that unfooted, like some people do.

The face must be right inside this tree. Only an ear poking out.

imagine how good a politician you'd be - your wit and intelligence shines through in every post

Why don't you actually engage brain and see who used said phrase in a TV interview. I'm hardly defending anyone, you're the one running around like a Karen clutching pearls instead of seeing the bigger picture and shouting ist accusations. But hey, you're the sort of person that went down a rabbit hole peal clutching without looking up from the book of idealogical bs, maybe you wrote the SNP/NHS fife advice ?.

Problem is the police, they dont understand that a terrorist doesn't have to have a faith in your typical sense , no fixed ideology think axel rudikhana and that other cretin like the one in Leicestershire then the was that twat in Liverpool driving a car through the crowd .. a terrorist can be anyone ,the police fail them by looking for Muhammed ...and it isn't It now gets down played as mental health shit ..then lessons will be learned -why the hunt knows right from wrong .

Good Morning.

@Steve Bullman that’s about 20 minutes from me if you fancy an away trip.

Prestigious is the word I’d use, not unusual, but not the preserve of everyday folk.

What about that 1.1mm 3/8p Stihl full chisel? Easier to sharpen than 1/4p, existing sideplate angle and depth gauges.

Pro comms for us. They have proven a great product and very durable. Widespread is has made it easier when working alongside others

Matty is on the money if you want to run the 14". Drill the bar as otherwise you will have to get chains made up. The stihl 10" needs 57 not 56 dl, the 12" 65 not 64 so I guess you need 73 which isnt available off the shelf, 57 and 65 are.Or do as Mark said and put a 10" on with a 57dl chain. Also as Matty mentioned make sure you have the 1/4" sprocket on your saw.

I don’t think this is the site for you

Hi all my name's Carl I'm looking for full time work down Devon got all my qualifications and level 2 abc arb and got 19 year experience anyone got full time work employed or self-employed or if anyone knows who wants a climber thanks

I’d stick them on Facebook marketplace at £20 each and see if you get a bite.

Just seeing if there's anyone interested in a couple of used exerter charcoal retorts, would be buyers welcome to come and see them working .

I use software from Otiss/Pear Technology. It's about £360/year. Helpful support staff. I would do some practice surveys first and get the hang of using it. There are a lot of options re what you record. Then there is the facility to download as pdf files or Excel. I find the Excel a bit of a pain as not too familiar with setting out. Also with such a large acreage, you will have to see what sizes to divide the site up for your online maps. It's a very big site for beginning out on, so definitely do a few practices in a park or small woodland.

Scared of a worm. Poof. Aim for it. Show it who’s boss. I picked an apple up from a mate’s garden the other day. Had an obvious wormhole. No hesitation. No surrender. Straight into the arsehole end of it and ate everything bar the stalk. I like to think I made some sort of point there.

They may not be a husky dealer and have to pay top price for parts but even then its extreme. Did you do anything with the saw or is it still in a box in bits? Seems a waste if it is.

That looked good but it seems that you cant get them in the UK anymore. The start system on the br800 is to say the least a complicated setup! Ive only had two in for repair, one was was because the customer thought it was a four stroke and put neat petrol in it. The other was a starter issue. The starter was jamming open, I couldnt see any issue apart from a clean and grease and it seems to be working OK up to now.

As a sort of quick leak test I use brake cleaner fitted with a d40 smart straw (this thing WD-40 Smart Straw 450ml | Toolstation WWW.TOOLSTATION.COM All the benefits of the original WD-40 formula, but with a Smart Straw for precision application. Simply flip the straw up for a narrow stream or fold it down for a regular wide spray... and spray it around the intake boot impulse pipe area. You only need to spray a little, if there is a leak the engine will die. You have to make sure none of the spray is going into the carb, although with a little care you can use it to detect carb leaks. The wd40 will probably act the same as brake cleaner but I use a lot of brake cleaner and I fit them with that straw. Hmmm, maybe I should make some arb saw cleaner, smart straw plus brake cleaner. Yours for only £75.95 a can. Or buy two for £151.90 Bargain.
