    Found this on t-bay, see what you guys think. Finishes tonight, i think the reserve will be around £450:scared1: STIHL MS441 CHAINSAW (NEW) on eBay (end time 01-Aug-09 23:26:12 BST)

    My experience so far has shown me in extreme conditions such as milling, the pre-filter and insert(HD) would be best. BUT, the pre-filter sock is essential on every day use for these saws. The amout of extra crud that it catches above the standard filter is scary! No excuses now if you score a bore, you have been warned:001_tt1:

    Yeh, just curious Jonny. Main reason i ask is, most log sellers sold out last year (i sold out by xmas!) so anyone starting splitting at this time of the year might struggle to have it seasoned for the coming season. I am in the same situation:blushing:

    Around here that doesnt seem to happen though. Most of the public sees a landscaper advertising "tree work" and they think its part of thier work but if general public saw Tree surgeon offering "gravelling" he would be seen as a cowboy!

    You sell unseasoned jonny?

    I think Peter must be going through a mid-life crisis. He used to have avatars like a daft looking black lab with a hat on, a shadow of him up a tree, even his big grab truck with a load of logs. This has turned into nude gay models and very friendly ladies- whatever next:sneaky2: Did have me worried for a while, but going on the last one you must still be on the right side of the fence:001_cool:

    Give these guys a ring Dean, tell him youve got one of his trailers second hand and need a floor for it. Worth a try; Graham Edwards for Livestock, Agricultural and Commercial Trailers - box trailers, flatbed and covered trailers

    Shame you took that off Ben, think you were in line for a good ribbing! There will be someone on here able to id it for you, must be worth a few quid if you can get it going just as a collection piece.

    Dont mean to sound clever, but what have you tried in the way of getting work? By the sound of it you have a bit of kit now, have you done much local advertising, yellow pages, village mags, posters in shops, even flyposting? Is "Joing forces" such a bad thing if you only do it on a day or two a week basis, could keep you going a while longer? Dont give up mate, i think you would regret it.

    I might have a bit of rocking horse poo, but it could be a little far for you to travel Rob, its upto you. I think there is about 3 tons of it, been cut in logs over a year now, perhaps not as big or good quality as you are after but if you want, PM me. Its in HU16 if you want to check mileage. Cheers, Pete.

    Really nice shot David, it reminds me of when i worked on a large estate similar to yours 20 years ago. The trouble is, i still cant stop eyeing up that lovely dead wood for my own fire:sneaky2:

    Yes, but you will reach max gross weight (3500kgs) with either chip box, only slight difference in kerb weight between the two, but a much more usable truck in the dbl cab, and loose a couple of wheel barrow loads of capacity in the back

    Just had another look at the 130 on t-bay, and there is only one pic of the truck he is selling, all other pics are of newer/higher spec trucks:sneaky2: Sneaky:mad1:
  16. 18 stoner
    Cant see why you would want a bigger chip box than the one of Eds, unless you intended overloading it:sneaky2: The one you are looking at is 3 years older than Eds too:sad:

    Your best man on this is PeteB. Sure he will offer any advice and parts needed.

    So are you saying the workplace was the training and you just put them in for the assessment when a relivant tree job came up Bob?
  19. 18 stoner
    Ok, number 2 for me, just an unusual Sycky at a regular customers;
  20. 18 stoner
    Sorry for the derail Bob:blushing:
  21. 18 stoner
    Problem seems to be, the trainers want a minimum of 4 students on the course to make it viable. They then need a couple of trees each to carry out training, then at least one more each to do the assessment. Suddenly you need a minimum of 12 trees to carry out the the ticket, within a set area for such training center. Not many centers can offer such high numbers of "difficult" trees.

    I really fancied a pair but just realised i dipped out, only go to size 11. Shame, i think the colour would have suited me!
  23. 18 stoner
    Would be a nice one to do david, perhaps lack of places is to do with a limited amount of trees available to do the assessment on.
  24. 18 stoner
    Well i will say thanks Bob, for this and all your other efforts keeping us upto date:001_cool:

    Think it would need outriggers to lift that though, adding to weight:sad:
