  1. not quite sure what this tree is, anyone help?
  2. we're just trying to be nice, in reality we all think you're a big wuss:hahaha:
  3. not far from me then...im based just outside stowmarket. you run a company?
  4. its even worse on your own job. if i turn up contract cimbing im far more likely to go ahead with the climbing than if it was my own job.
  5. Thanks for all the entries. This thread will be locked for now and the results posted as soon as they are in. good luck everyone
  6. my first attempt at coronet cuts today....turned on a lit too uniform for my liking but didnt have time to waste going over it again.....i'll get it right next time!
  7. job done....and not a bad one for a lowly tree climber IMO
  8. ive always said that when people pick up a saw and claim they can tune it by ear....i wont let anyone anywhere near my say without a tacho
  9. so has anyone here ever actually got themselves in trouble over this subject?
  10. never done it myself so i cant comment too much on felling techniques, one thing i can say for sure though is you need to take your depth guages right down on your chains....you'll be able to cut much quicker and that should reduce the splitting.
  11. pidgeons are classed as pests i believe
  12. it sounds like the idle screw needs turning a little.....find where it is and turn it clockwise a touch, keep turning till it will tick over without cutting out. make sure you dont adjust the tuning screws by mistake. if you're stuck working out which one it is i'll have a lok on mine
  13. one of my customers has one, i'll ask him about it next week
  14. im not painting the ali.....just the metal parts of the buck and the bulkhead
  15. i just bought some anti rust primer made by International go try. is it worth using up the hammerite i already have for the top coat or will it be crap even for that? ive already done the posts and the colour is what im after see
  16. silver i just painted the back posts and the 2 side posts with hammerite as they were looking a bit shabby, but im thinking of spraying the whole back frame silver
