  1. Thanks Steve. Interesting options. I like the rescue scenario, or for the big saw. Not sure about using it as a lanyard, but will give it a try anyway
  2. C is allround, and A is front only. I read the same and made the conclusion that it is a recomendation only, and have read that same phrase in several places. Type C is for cold weather only!
  3. I struggle to eat enough. I go for the little and often regime. Only way I can manage it
  4. need I say more
  5. Not even a clue Steve? ya miserable bugger lol
  6. With the VT it's all about trial and error. Try all permutations, i'd advise low and slow testing initially
  7. Welcome Colin. Nice of you to join us
  8. the combo is appealing, however most trucks I see have mid mounted platforms. Not sure what is involved remounting one?
  9. Looks a nice bit of kit Ed. I love the dodge 50's serious workhorses and usually reliable. Does it have the phaser engine?

    has the chimney been cleaned and tested? if not it is the first thing to do. Phone the local chimney sweep, they are a mine of info
  11. Nice pruning saw. Shame it's one of those orange things lol

    If the chimney is in good condition why get in lined?
  13. I will wait until someone else tries one. Until that point i'm sticking with my silky
  14. monday hedge work looking forward to tomorrow, more hedge work BUT it's not monday
  15. Here's some pics of Steve killing a corsican pine today in Harrogate. Good guy to work with
  16. It's friday night and the forum is flowing! Why arnt you all out on the town? I'm working tomorrow with teresagreen so i'm obliged to turn up half sober! What you excuse?
  17. Yes it's taught in the large tree module, what used to be 2 1/2 times guide bar. A boring cut is placed through the centre of the gob, then the tip of the saw is swung either way to cut the wood that would be unreachable by the smaller bar.
  18. http://www.hse.gov.uk/agriculture/pdf/arbnews0107.pdf Got some good indications on where they are driving the legislation towards
  19. Fish and chips
  20. Is that to compensate for the rough undercurrent of character Andy?
  21. hahaha. Nice Lee, jacket potatoes with crappy tinned tuna, baked beans and LOADS of cheese on tonights menu
  22. Ok day for me. Fixed the belt tensioner on the chipper, which I broke yesterday, and my new groundie started. He's a nice guy and eager to learn without being a pita about it. Fingers crossed he might work out
  23. here is my set up. I can clip the saw high to either caritool. The silky being slung low keeps it out of the way
  24. i have found little problem adapting to it. I have always used long lanyards so I can pass the saw to either side of me. The flexibility gained is worth the inconveniance
  25. I like my Natanokko (sp?) I'm limited to a few saws though, as the curved ones do not have the option of a lefthanded scabbard.
