Is that course up here or down London? Looks like they could use a decent tree firm, with dangerous trees like that all over the place.
-
You can uprate the hilux to a higher gvw, heavy duty springs all round and a few forms to fill in.
-
The little chinese made quad bike trailers are surprisingly good, mesh floor and low sides, very light weight and cheap as chips.
-
Always been happy with the 066/660s I have used over the years, they are a bit slow in stock form but a bit of muffler work opens them right up.
-
Very much so, nice full canopy, bit of a lean towards a neighbour and possible root damage due to regrading of lawn though.
-
Thoughts anyone?
-
And long in the tooth? They were discontinued in 2006 if my memory serves me correctly.
-
Stretch airs used to all be red or blue, that was before they had a redesign, new colour and a new uk distributor.

Sounds like you need a little van, Bipper, Caddy, or similar. There are loads of them to choose from, they are dirt cheap, comfy, economical and plenty of room for tools and and bulk bag of rakings.

Nothing is changing in 2014 Paul, the regs are already in force. The only difference is that existing drivers grandfather rights will expire and we will all come into the same rolling 35 hours over 5 years system as new drivers.

The farmers in the direct supply chain are ok in general, it's the ones who supply a processor who supply a supermarket which are struggling, as I understand it.

Iv got a black diamond haul bag, good but not cheap.
-
Hmm, might be a bit far to come then. Anglesey is crammed with tree surgeons though, shouldn't be too hard to find some chip.
-
Nope, you can write the numbers on a fag packet and stick it on, no need to to buy a plate. Down plating doesn't involve any physical modification, downrating does.

Where abouts are you facecord?

This is the perfect thread for you then, no mogs here!

Great service FR Jones - shame about my Stein mini-reach
Peter replied to Andrew Barrett's topic in General chat
I think you're just reading the wrong posts Nick. There is a thread raving about the vega harness if you need some warm fluffy feelings. -
I will discount for leaving logs, chip, or brash on site. Of course if they want all the wood cutting up thats an extra cost.
-
Samson are the clearest instructions, pdfs or buy the little spiral bound book. If something in the book doesnt make sense, there are some very good youtube vids that will help to visualise it.

Indeed. I get lots of emails asking for woodchip, if its convenient to me I will drop it off without charge, but if someone wants a specific amount in a specific place at a specific time then its going to cost something as I am supplying a service. If I get an email in the same tone as the OP, it gets deleted straight away, I don't do favours for rude people.

What jobs can you safely give a 12 year old son in
Peter replied to gensetsteve's topic in Firewood forum
I would say limit him to juggling 2 burning chainsaws at first, until he has got the hang of it. FWIW I was using hedgecutters, strimmers, mowers, and tractors from the age of 12, and I still have all my limbs. -
I do remember when Brits were generous enough to offer something in exchange for goods or services rather than expecting something for nothing. Happened just yesterday actually, someone rang me asking for woodchip, offered to pay for delivery. Waste product or not, there is still a cost implication to deliver material. If you are happy to collect from site you can have as much as you want. FWIW I have never paid to tip chip, and never will, and I suspect the same goes for most arbs in this country.

Looks like Lime, could it be a cut leaved variety showing reversion?
-
You can do pretty much the same thing but with the tail of your climbing line on the way down from the tree.
-
Its probably blocked up with gunge. (fine wood dust mixed with bar oil) Drain the oil tank and run some petrol through. If that doesn't work you will need to strip the saw down and clean the oil pump.
