To Crown Reduce or not Veteran Sweet Chestnut
jpbeaver replied to benedmonds's topic in Tree health care
i bet he charged a fortune for that! near me an "artist" put some tree stumps roots up and got payed loads................ it looked like my yard! -
being reliable is far more important than being cheap IMHO. i sub for a few companies and cant believe how much **** they put up with from other subbies, turning up late or hungover. i ALWAYS get to site 10 minutes early with everything i need in working order. i dont drink if im working for someone else the next day. im the highest paid subbie round here but im not the best climber and i dont do brash dragging!

that saw looks to be in good condition for its age. a neighbour came to me today with an old 254xp that he cant get to run. i miss my old 254's might see if he will trade it in. either way i'll be fiddling with that 1 night this week.

me and a mate were thinking about doing a course so we could do each others LOLER inspections. What insurance do you need? this company is only 15 miles away from me. http://www.narc.co.uk/coursedetail/TSK1U.html

i got some royal mail gore tex waterproof trousers they are awesome. dont wear them a right lot though. i got a water resistant top made by Wynnster the other day. its like a micro fleece but the outer shell is water resistant only £45. seal skinz socks are great aswell, waterproof, thermal, and breathable. i love mine!

I've got a 361 running 3/8 and a 341 on .325 both 16" bars and the 361 is by far my favorite. the 341 hardly ever goes out. i also run a 20" bar on the 361 while up a tree, it pulls it fairly well.
-
this is my mates old 16" farmi he has just traded it in after 6 months as he has had nothing but trouble from it. he has a Heizohack on its way now. he runs it on the back of this valmet but is looking at getting a fendt soon.

ive got a 14" on my main 200t and a 16" on my other which i use for conifers alot. have a few 12" bars knocking around somewhere.

first cd was the complete stone roses last was the good the bad and the ugly sound track.
-
i get grippy gloves at about 50p a pair 100 pairs at a time. the only other gloves i buy are welding gloves for thorns.
-
count me in. sounds good. richard if you want a lift down we could probably go in my car and save some fuel.
-
i pass all my stumps onto 2 local companies, in return i do all the climbing for 1 lad and all the larger climbing jobs for the other. i could have the use of an RG20 free of charge from 1 of the companies, id rather stick at what im good at though.
-
i'd get the 361 over the 341 anyday. same weight more power, 361 wins hands down. ive got a 20" bar for mine normally it runs a 16" though.
-
depends on the chain. i was buying sarp chain @ £190 per 100' including postage and VAT. that would do about 30 chains @ 13" or 15" i think. should be able to get a riveter and breaker for £100 + VAT. its easy enough to do.
-
i sell chain and use it myself, i've got no problem with either stihl or oregon.avoid jak max at all costs it awful.
-
looks good high scale, bet it was a nice peaceful day for a change.
-
your right roller, i planned to make loads of money doing tree work still not happened!
-

-
