    sorry to say its dead mate, lasted me abour 18months total, though it did alot of big work in that time. got a 390xp now, much better saw imo

    what happened
  10. John Shutler
    to be honest you could probably have spiked up to the limbs at the top and bashed them out, but you would never be able to piece them out small enough to avoid the fence beneeth, new hedging, quite a nice hawthorn and some othe bits and pieces . there was a distinct lack of anything representing any sort of top anchor, though you cant really see that from the picture below. the stem was sound really bar 2" around the outside which was shot

    i really want some highlift wedges:blushing:
  12. John Shutler
    dont know, i like wedges:thumbup1: just tapped them in as i brought the saw round after i bored in. it saves me shouting at alex to put some tension on it i guess, then when the cuts finished we can pull it over and weve got all the pull to play with:dontknow:
  13. John Shutler
    bit nose heavy mate, but not bad for a country boy alex went to take a cut off the top of the stump and blunted his 441, his first cut of the day.hed spent most of tbreak sharpening it with a blunt file:lol: i had to re do it 2" above
  14. John Shutler
    thanks mate, got a few that i need to send over to the website man

    20 metre bremach access platform from affordable access hire:thumbup1:, one dead oak. easy peasy. pretty uninteresting job, but still fun none the less. all done and dusted by midday, chip stayed on site though there was hardly any brash to chip as most of it disintergrated when it hit the ground. stem was cut in roughly in half either for milling or carving, customers are still undecided.

    nice wander around the woods this morning, some pretty cool beech and some old holly pollards and a crazy old oak. pretty lucky really as its about 5 minutes from mine. pretty awesome place to grow up
  22. John Shutler
    had a bit of a moment there:blushing: 2 climbers is great
  23. John Shutler
    efficiency is one of the big reasons, speeds jobs up no end. and yes, its quite nice having some companionship some times, are job can be quite lonely. thursday was a clasic example of having 2 climbers in the tree. lovely weather, hardly any chainsaw use, just pottering round a good sized red oak with a silky, having a chat and a laugh. thats what its all about i think. its also good when you find someone who has a similar pruning style to you, alex the lad who is in the pictures of the field maple reduction is only 21 and is developing into a great arborist
  24. John Shutler
    i use 2 climbers at almost every oppertunity
  25. John Shutler
    good sized Red oak deadwood and light thin from yesterday, 2 climbers, nice weather and a bloody good laugh. days like that are what its all about. also tidyed up a small pine that had fallen over. on site for 9 home by 230, happy days
