    I agree. Good post. Why would anyone NOT supply a piece of life support equipment for inspection? Why would anyone presume a flip line/wire core not suitable for use as primary life support without back-up? There appears to be a lot of confusing information thrown about regarding such simple things at the moment

    Quite interesting how personal experiences differ with the same dealers. I have had a few saws brought to me recently from my nearest dealer/servicing agent. New carb is all I hear before I look @ them. The relationship with any dealer is vital, when you run saws to earn your crust

    Carrs-billington are not too far away from you & are quite competitive & I have had nothing but positive dealings with them with repairs & servicing

    Nice Tom. Is that a Forst you are running?

    Does it function with a wirecore?

    I recon the guy in the surf shop got a load of Xmas jumpers cheap Interesting vid. I do a lot of natural crotch rigging, in conjunction with a friction device. Yes it is hard on ropes - to the point where I carry a 1/2inch 16 strand climbing line for the purpose - they are quite resilient to the abuse compared to a rigging line. As well easy anchor point change, it also allows me to go a bit bigger on smaller rigging points. The friction being the key as well as the removal of the doubling effect of the pulley. If the tree is to be preserved I also carry a ring to ring friction saver which I guess is the nearest thing to the rigging rings. How does the bend radius compare to a rigging block ? It does not look favourable on large lines for blocking down heavy timber, especially if it has to be caught.

    The attention to detail & willingness to make that extra effort, is really appreciated.

    There is a high output oiler available for the 660 - combined with the factory dual port muffler, it really wakes the saw up

    Good job reg. The stem really took off down the hill - looked an awkward fell

    This guy has a unique HH set-up [ame] [/ame]

    Have the issues been recorded in a factual manner by those involved? Structural issues, climatic issues etc been written down & presented professionally to the management? This is what you need to deliver in a tribuneral - not emotion & hearsay

    Nice vid - great to see some cutting for a change

    Check the anvil also. Is the chip quality & size consistent with sharp blades?

    Have you spoken to Leeds council on one of there emergency numbers? They do provide out of hours call centres

    Whatever you decide to try (I would recommend the Hitch Climber system next,), when you first try it do it carefully - Low & slow is where & how you need to go

    There is a good 4x4 breakers in Bradford - Thorntons I think & they used to carry a lot of parts

    It's fine saying plan, save, be VAT registered, but when things go wrong with companies that just reach the registration point, it is often the straw that breaks the camels back. It is another tax & yes it would be irrelevant to those who are self employed/companies, however it would hammer some constomers & in my opinion reduce the amount of work & cash available. Paying an extra 20% is going to hurt someone's pocket
  23. Pete Mctree
    Take more than a few trees to do that
  24. Pete Mctree
    Fair sized job Johnny

    If they could control & earn tax/dividends from control of wood fuel they would say something different. It must really upset the government that people can get fuel for free in some cases. The spin doctors will throw more stuff like this at the media no doubt
