I've heard a few say that too, all weekenders. One guy has 2 chains for his saw, when they're both blunt he stops for the week and sends his gardener to the dealer to get them sharpened.

Maybe the OP has 100 grands worth  of used chains?

Send him my way I'll sharpen them 😂
 

 

@Stere I've heard of a cutter that goes brashing and bins his chain when it's dull/never hand files. 
 

Or tries to sell them on for cheap.

If people don't like the wages learn to type and leave the industry . All this talk of everyone else getting all this money is as bad as farmers . I've lads on decent money leave because they can get double elsewhere just to bounce around from job to job for years after . Usually the ones with this talk aren't even a week in hand with payments and hassling for payment within minutes of finishing the job . If I could lay bricks maybe I would but I know it wouldn't be straight and I would want to live in a house I'd built as I've not the eye for it .  I've enjoyed tree work and couldn't imagine doing anything else . As for a short career as a subbie climber I agree but it longer than it was . A lot of the big stuff is done mechanically and lifting equipment with avant and diggers makes bigger work just fun now.

if you dont like the wages ask for more

if you dont get more you must be shit

if youve got the skill for the job and enjoy it you do the job and get what youre worth

He's going some to get 5 litres a day through a topper so no wonder the chains don't last.

Clearly some of us do a lot more cutting than others. You dumb ass just joining in a conversation with our reading all the facts. We do forestry work as well and I like a sharp chain. Some of these dumb replies say more about some of the idiots in this profession. Explains why a lot of you are on £140 a day. And for the record £220 a day for me now or iam not out fully booked for the next month good luck to all the smart arses keyboard gangsters. Going by arb job vacancies you better start paying more or doing more your self!! 🤩🫣😆😵🤯👍💪💰😵‍💫

I earnestly believe you are lying.

 

Your outburst is sad and amusing in equal measure. Now that you have nearly £5k worth of work booked in,will you post a link to the advertisements for the equipment you are selling?

 

There's a good chap.

No, that was a rubbish daily rate when he was doing a days job and supplying 100k worth of kit for free.
