It's no big deal imo what you do, as long as the saw work is effiecient and accurate, everything else is a means to an end. Saying that i'm deffo new school

I pay for all accidental damage on the site. However if things are broken through stupidity or negligence then it's different. I have charged staff for things before but seldom

Good competition, and nice to see plenty of great pics. Congratulations to the winners! -
Cool, will wait til I have a spare week to compile it!

Silky, art rope guide, sling and locking biner, first aid kit and either a wire core or rope strop
-
I do every day. I guess more attention should be payed to "how" not "how often". Same goes for cut and hold.

Only got 2 problems with what you say, firstly they are not as good and secondly they come in a crappy orange colour!

A good climber is not lazy. They will climb out that extra couple of yards to set the rigging or get the best tie in point, spend time to put the pull rope in the right place, not badly directed through a maze of branches etc. They will make the exra 2 cuts to make it managable on the ground. Makes all the difference sometimes

Love the attention to detail, especially those lovely bolts in the hopper? & is there a guarentee it won't rattle to bits when being towed or used?

Wow, loads of new members. Cool! Welcome all

£320ish here a day. There are still firms going out for £235 here but the don't get much work done. I've lost jobs because i've been too cheap on the quotes before now. Pricing work was the hardest thing thing to learn for me setting up on my own. Even today, doing the work is often the easy bit

It's safe for sure. A bit unnerving when you start out hearing the stem split and crack as you work the stem down

Todays work was cancelled. Means I have enough time to sharpen and fix saws, look at work and rewire the lights on the chipper. Ain't spare time fun!

Tockmal, i had a similar chainbreak problem with the 460. So stiff it was hard to use. I stripped the mechanism down, cleaned it and put plenty of WD40 on the whole thing. Has worked ok since. Not a cure for the heat problem but may make the action smoother & easier

I have dumped my microcender and gone back to the VT on the wire core. I hated the extra link in the system, too much play
-
I guess you scots don't read yourkshire too well? "throw the piece of crap in the bin and buy a husky" There ya go, wasn't that hard was it?
-
thats why small chippers just don't need them, plus i prefer a low feed height. I guess it's a lazy thing
