what size grinder?

Take it you don't like hard hats ?

Quickbooks. I'm far from running a tree business though and never was. It does everything I need to do and I have my own systems in place for tracking orders etc, but if someone had to pick up where I left off they'd struggle

Doesn't Sage have a quote/estimate feature that can be raised as an invoice?

Just copy and paste it into the reply, it should automatically embed it. Sometimes if you click submit straight after posting the link it wont embed it. Also some links randomly just don't embed, might be the type of youtube link to pick

Nice work mate, thanks for sharing

I have this one, wether or not they'll take conifer though I don't know. You'll have to phone and check.

I know they had it at the arb show, not sure about before that though

what sort of chip?

With 3 months still to go until APF 2018 on the 20/21/22nd September at Ragley Estate, Alcester, Warks, the Organisers report that the number of exhibitors now booked has reached over 270. APF 2018 is the leading exhibition for the forestry, woodland, arboriculture, fencing, trees and timber and wood fuel sectors in the UK Exhibition Secretary, Ian Millward, commented “We are absolutely delighted how bookings are going and the number of new exhibitors who are coming. Our static area, which we expanded this year to cope with demand is now over 82% full and we sold another 140m of demonstration frontage at our recent site meeting. APF 2016 broke all records with 320 exhibitors and over 22000 visitors and we are on course to exceed that total.

nope,somethings broke. Working on it

Not sure mate. Perhaps @STIHL GB can let us know?

Do your homework next time mate. This has been in the pipeline for longer than a month. A google search is always worth while! I remember the day I picked up my new Navara, there was a disgruntled customer in the showroom as he had purchased the old model a month previous and was unaware of the new model coming out. Who was at fault here? Should Nissan have warned any potential customer interested in the old model and end up stuck with a load? The new Navara was no big secret thats for sure.

I look forward to testing this out next month alongside its predecessor which I reviewed previously here

STIHL has launched a new cordless arborist saw that offers professionals an enhanced cutting performance through the use of a higher chain speed and a more powerful motor. Introduced to supersede the popular MSA 160 T, the new lightweight saw boasts a 40% higher chain speed (16 m/s) and a 15% increase in engine performance, making the MSA 161 T ideal for removing deadwood, crown maintenance and light reductions. Designed with easy handling in mind, the MSA 161 T not only has an improved response of hand guard during activation and releasing of the chain brake, but also utilises a precise cutting behaviour to ensure a clean and smooth cut. In addition, the operating system has been enhanced with a sidelock for added safety and extended interlock for comfortable use. The cordless nature of the new saw means that the MSA 161 T is so quiet in operation that ear defenders are not required while working, keeping any disruption to an absolute minimum and ensuring the machine is the perfect choice for use in noise sensitive areas. The new MSA 161 T is powered by STIHL’s range of 36V AP batteries. Using the recommended AP 200 battery and AP 300 charger, the new saw affords professionals an impressive run time of up to 35 minutes on a single charge. Using STIHL’s AP 300 battery, users can benefit from a 50 minute run time. For more information on STIHL’s MSA 161 T or its range of arborist saws, please visit www.stihl.co.uk. View full record

Not easy I don't think. Theres a chance of getting them from your local utilities but in my experience these are usually snapped up by their own staff for their pj's

Copy paste but wait for the software to embed it before climbing submit

Yep exactly like that

Only viewable by me at present

stick a piece of timber on the floor beneath the tip of the conveyor, lower the conveyor till the logs taking its weight...step on the middle of the conveyor to fold it

It was once pointed out to me years ago by the guy who taught me to climb, how effortlessy and confidently i would clamber around small 12ft fruit trees with no harness doing minor pruning works. Thats the frame of mind you need to adopt at any level. It is literally all in the mind. Of course when you're 70ft up you're roped in, or should be, but the principle is the same. Like Rich said, trust your gear, and imagine you're just a few feet off the ground. That one piece of advice transformed how I perceived the risks.

Hasn't been heard of since

Some good reading here
