Morning all...

I have been admiring the site for a few months now and decided to get registered. It's been a big help in many ways already.

I'm a Senior Mechanical Maintenance engineer, living in Nottinghamshire. I mainly specialise in Plant and machine repairs, but i also have alot of experience with welding, fabbing, machining and hydraulics. 

Always been around chainsaws and plant, so i have alot of respect for the safety aspects of the work.

I have done a fair few tree removals/clearances, and also some thinning/pruning.

I manage the site and fence lines, through MEWP access equipment and ground work. Alot of the perimeter is over-run with Willow and self seeded Birch, along with the odd Sycamore and Beech.

I'm looking at doing a few courses in the near future, to gain knowledge and hopefully a few more qualifications. 

I'm not a drop in the ocean to some of the guys and gals on here, but i have a genuine love for the outdoors and anything mechanical or has some sort of engine.

I have a decent selection of saws, from Ms170's to an old school Danarm mk2 125 auto (currently in a rebuild stage) and quite a few electric saws too. Not forgetting the trusted hand/pruning saws.

If you don't mind, i may be asking a few questions with a new upcoming project, a pre M-tronic 261, along with any help with future courses and projects (vertical splitter is under construction).

 

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully i may be able to a few out with my mechanical skill set.

Hi everyone, I thought I’d introduce myself as I’ve just signed up. I’m 16 years old and have been around chainsaws for a number of years and have been using them on and off for a year or so, under supervision from my dad (scotty2809). I have also worked with chippers and garden equipment as I worked with a local landscaper/ gardener over a period of time. I have just received my early Christmas/ birthday gift which is a stihl ms170. I have been getting used to this size saw working with my dad and now he feels that i am ready for my own. I am very passionate about learning all of the skills you need to handle a chainsaw, including safety, and maintenance. I also do wood splitting to provide firewood for our house. I hope you can accept me onto the platform and I can’t wait to meet new people and learn new skills 😁

I may be young, but my dad has raised me to be very safety conscious. I understand all the hazards and risks involved. I have been around cars, bikes, 4x4’s and machinery from a very early age, and have huge respect for the dangers.

Hello all 👋

 

Hello. Welcome.

Afternoon all 

I'm currently doing a L4 Arb course with Treelife and have been browsing on here a bit recently. Sure I'll be doing more stalking than contributing but thought I'd at least say hello 👋
