After clicking the link, I read the first two words and didnt need to go any further.... "A farmer"
-
:lol:
-
It makes nice firewood.
-
In that case he dont need a 201 in the tree. The aloft saw should be a 441:lol:
-
As a sweeping statement thats not entirely the case. I know many, many tree surgeons who have gone and done a "quick course" to appease the insurers. These guys however are the types who could teach the lecturers a thing or two due to their massive experience. The lesson here is, dont go assuming those doing crash courses all know nothing. In fact it can actually be the opposite, in that the youngsters who spent "x" years in college leave with a stack of tickets, yet still know nothing of the real side of the job.

Also when shedding a fallen stem do you use a 660 with a 3 foot bar?

I have one and would say just buy it, you will not look back. They are getting on a bit now and look, well, erm unstylish but its a tool that wont let you down, and for the money there is nothing else available that would keep up with it. You might guess, I am a fan. Imo, you can keep your 9" jensons, tw's, greenmechs etc. Ive tried them all and none come close. Hope thats not a biassed opinion:001_huh: ?

You are obviously confident in your approach, but IMO, by selling mixed you are missing premium sales. If you seperate your timber, you would find the vast majority of your present customers would take softwood mixed with pop and willow etc. You could then sell the true hardwood at a higher price. Also FWIW to the OP, his load should be more like £160 unseasoned and possibly £200 seasoned, given all details supplied. Your area is good retail value, however, chestnut/birch mix is more mid-road to me so the prices above should be fair IMO. .

Or it could simply be the time of year. Looking for a reasonable priced processor in October would be a different story I reckon.
-
Any chance a MS200 bar and sprocket could be fitted? I know it would take more of a pull than the 1/4" chain, but would make life much more simple.
-
Yeh, was taken inby the very light sapwood but now ive blown the pic up I can see its softwood
-
Just curious, but what timber are the pillars? Looks quite dark in the first pic.
-
I think you been cheating:sneaky2: Google?
-
Yeh, sorry mate, that fell a bit flat as I meant to say PA2c:blushing: I do have PA2a also. Thats hydraulic boom. Edit, just seen your second post! I think from memory 2b was air assisted but mine (the 2c) is twin fluid nozzle.
-
Very nice, a lot of work there.

Very generous offer kev, a mate of mine from newcastle is after going and has no transport. I'll send his addy via PM mate, he's gonna be chuffed to bits. -
Cheers bud, wouldn't even know where to look for my cert to find out! Lol! But, I'd say you would still be "handling" so PA1 would be needed. As you are still "applying" you would need another module. In this case PA6. Same would apply to Eco plugs IMO, even for those who treat stumps with salt or none COSHH material. Your duty of care means you must have the tickets to "apply" in the commercial world. That brought a smile to my face Rob! Thankfully I have PA2, even PA2a(house point for anyone who knows of that one!) and Ben has PA6. Guess who gets the driving jobs?
-
You cannot get PA6 without PA1. PA1 is the module that covers handling of pesticides, PPE, duty of care, record keeping etc, etc. While on the subject of splitting hairs of course:001_rolleyes: EDIT; I wonder if anyone knows if PA2 would cover direct stem injection? .

You obviously had no interest in the job so please let the thread run the course it was intended:thumbdown:

Try this link mate. Hope it works. Jameson Search Results | F R Jones and Son

I used to run them, very good machine and leaving a fine finish. The "HT" means trimmer obviously so not so good on heavier stuff but the perfect machine for privet, conifer etc.
-
But the 261 has many problems, and is not any more power in the users hands. The 362 did not replace the 036 or even the 360. The 361 it actually replaced was a far superior saw than the 362 As you say the 880 has been around a while longer Please don't think I'm anti stihl, quite the contrary. I have a dozen or so on the shelf all usable. The problem I see is stihl have been banging saws out as soon as they reach the emission levels. Husky on the other hand have kept hold of theirs until the saw was "right". I assume this is the reason for the delay on the 540t, it may well have been possible to release it by now but there is a big gap needs filling now in the best topper in the world category and it will be released when it can fit the bill
-
Yes, we all know that, but as Chris says, husky have managed to produce saws with much more power output under some very modern emission controls. Can you name any stihls released in the last 5 years that have more power than its equivellant predecessor?

:confused1: I've had a beer I must admit, but that post made no sense to me what so ever! Sorry
