  1. Have you tried getting in touch with the Stihl timbersports guys?
  2. Yep, just found it myself Terms and Conditions | ArbPrizes
  3. Good work! Are the legs cedar also?
  4. Doesn't mention it on the site. I will see if I can find out.
  5. Hi Jamie, Long time no read. I have used them in the past. From new they don't cut like a normal chain. Perhaps buying a few piranha chains as throw always might be a better option?
  6. Not a very nice tree Ti, you did good by it though IMO
  7. That's a good offer. Really tempted myself but can't possibly justify owning another chainsaw. I have 6 topping saws as it is!
  8. Some jobs are just no fun. Thankfully they are few and far between
  9. Still people complaining about a security token missing when posting images. Have made a few more changes to the settings, please could those affected test this by uploading images you were unable to previously? thanks
  10. Oh dear. First thing I do when i see birch sap running after a good pruning is stick my head underneath and drink it!!!! What did they die from?
  11. Covering their backs, duty of care most likely
  12. Not assuming that for a second, hence the bold comment in brackets Barry. My point was that focussing on hourly rates really doesn't show the whole picture.
  13. If you're using a hitch climber with an advanced friction hitch you will notice the benefit of a smaller diameter rope for sure. If you're just starting out then a 13mm with a prussik will probably be a good choice for developing grip strength.
  14. Its just a tree tag, you'll find all the trees in the area will have one. Would have been put on as part of a tree survey for identification purposes
  15. I'm in, all you have to do is enter your details and you're in the draw. ArbPrizes
  16. Hourly rates mean little to me. They guy charging £40 an hour might work twice as quick as the guy charging £20 an hour. Add to that, the guy charging £20 an hour might not even do the job properly(nor the guy charging £40 for that matter). I have used countless saw mechanics over the years, several I have had to take the same saws back to as they hadn't fixed the issues. As a result i'm pretty fussy who I take my saws to. All that aside, £12 an hour is no rate for anyone to be charging as a professional. It shows absolutely no forethought whatsoever...sorry to be so blunt.
  17. Its a satisfying feeling when you get a bit to drop perfectly
  18. And a pleasure to see a groundsman running the ropes properly
  19. Crikey, the AA are going to be busy that day
