  1. well done Ian, did you find us on google?
  2. pretty much...stuck a ladder between them to get up though. they were spread too far apart to climb from óne to another, thats how id normally do it.
  3. ta. not really a pain, just very tedious. thankfully i dont do too much of that type of work these days.
  4. yep! heres a better challenge...try find a chestnut without it!
  5. i'd never heard of this publication till they contacted me regarding advertising. not a bad source of information http://www.countryside-jobs.com/Special_Editions/Current.htm
  6. well im due a new pair of boots soon, i might invest
  7. not sure how i feel about the colour
  8. you'll learn more from working with a company that you will at college, thats providing its a good company. take peter up on his offer....also speak to RC0, hes a contract climber and will most likely be able to advise who to work for and who not to
  9. yep,back cut should never be below the hinge
  10. i dont hate husky at all, i think they are good saws, i just have a preference for stihl at the moment, that may next this time next year, im fickle like that! matty....if you had run it with .325 and a 9 rim sprocket you'd have experienced a whole different machine
  11. did u use it with the stock 3/8 pitch though matty?
  12. you should try getting in touch with some local companies for the odd days work experience
  13. i have a 341 and a 460. i use the 460 more as a rule, but if im doing a lot of small felling work id go with the 341
  14. where abouts are you based?
  15. yeah looks pretty much like a fore-gone conclusion
  16. jim, thicker ropes are more popular because they are easier to grip....though if you switch to 11mm your grip soon accustoms...and also with devices such as cambium savers and better functioning friction hitches the smaller diameter really shouldnt be an issue at all
