  1. I cannot see how doing a plunge cut through the center of an already small hinge(reference to smaller trees) then relying upon a piece of split wood, would make the hinge hold better than a standard well cut hinge:sneaky2: Absolute rubbish in my opinion!
  2. Either love em or hate em, its your choice! Bought one about three months ago and cant get on with it, so if you want a size large only climbed in a few times, its yours for £135
  3. Looks like yet another cheap advertising stunt by Ekka. Note the full view of name and number during the works! As for the cut, cant see the advantage on that tree. If he had cut a shallower gob, that palm would have gone easily with a conventional fell. The guy will do anything for a bit of attention!
  4. Being one step ahead is great if you can be, but dont expect the less scrupulous dont know about picture CV's! Only yesterday, i was working in a nearby village and went out to sit in my truck to mave my sarnie. I spent more than ten minutes watching two clowns door knocking along the street. They were the usual, '59 reg tranny van with two sets of very large shiney ladders on the rack with Enviro Tree Care splattered all over it, one guy having a saw helmet on and both of them had picture ID cards clipped to their hi viz vests and carrying a folder. When they moved the van further down the street, one of the neighbours came out and walked to my truck and this converstion carried on Hello, arent you the guy from near Beverley? Yes, i think that could be me! Ah, i thought it was you, didnt you prune that Ash Tree across the road from my house? Erm yes, think it must have been a few months ago now, gave it a crown lift I said to my husband it was you, but those two men just came and knocked on my door saying i should have my trees pruned, then showed me pictures of that tree in a folder and said they had done it:cursing:
  5. So do you get lots of bad payers John?
  6. There maybe less daylight but the working day is still the same length.......... 9 till 4! Daylight what ever time of year!
  7. You can all throw the maths at it if you like, but the majority of my new customers seem to be the ones who have had the stove fitted as a fashion statement, not so they save on gas!
  8. Nice job Matty, you do some nice reducts but i can imagine that would be tedious following a previous prune. Im only jelous because somehow i cant get out to those tips like you wee lads:sneaky2:
  9. I like the way the brovado suddenly changes:001_huh: Didnt look such a smart arse at the end of the vid:blushing:
  10. Very nice Matty especially the hornbeam. Had it been reduced before? Looks a bit like theres some old targets showing in pic 1
  11. Why the hell cant people say they will deliver 3 cubic meters of mixed hardwood logs, dried to below 20% moisture, tipped on the drive for £240? Doesnt really matter what truck it comes in, if its heaped, level, how many bags there is, or even what colour the truck or bags are!
  12. Cant believe this either! There still plenty who are selling firewood thinking a load is a load:confused1: Thats why i was taking the mick when i asked if anyone knew if a tranny load is the same as an LDV load:blushing: Bob, my LDV is also 10 foot by 6 foot 6, but if i cut my sides down to 6 inches high will it still be a load? Yep, i suppose it will be, its still 10 foot by 6 foot 6 Cant believe this blasé approach is still carried out by so called professionals:confused1: Not just you Bob(or your mate Tony), there are many
  13. Nice one Nige, im getting close to replacing my MS360 and would get the 361, but might make it last till the MS362 is available. I do still have a good 036 if the 361 does go pop though, so might wait.
  14. Im thinking of going back to selling by the load as it seems everyone is obsessed by "per tranny load" Thought i might have a niche market if no one knows what an LDV load is:sneaky2:
  15. Anyone know if an LDV tipper is the same size as a Tranny? Just incase a customer asks
  16. Almost sounds like you've gone girly Nige:001_tt2:
  17. Jonny is thick skinned enough to take it:sneaky2: I think its the "but" that makes all the difference:lol:
  18. Jonny, you are a sound guy, so please dont take offence with this, but, Your saw is now second hand...Yes Your saw doesnt have a full warranty...No Did you know you can buy a new with full warranty 361 with 18" bar for under £550.....mmmmm Try asking nearer £475 for it, i recon you will get a deal:thumbup1:
  19. Dean has a point, you should be able to tell if theres some missing but this might help; http://www.greenmech.co.uk/downloads/Resources/15-23MT%20and%2016-23MT%20July%202008.pdf
  20. Mmmm... think you got a couple short then! On the 500mm flywheel there should be 4 in total(2 pairs of 2). Have you bought it private, or can you get hold of the dealer who sold you it?
  21. Do you mean 2 in total or two pairs of 2? Does it look like any are missing, ie, do the knives pass over near the full length of the anvil?
