Eddy do you recon this cylinder is shot or could the damage be ported out?
-
I think it's a great opportunity for the right person and your spot on the money I recon. As already said though most will go self employed after a few years if they have the aptitude to reach the criteria of being a team leader. Maybe an add with the benefits of working in a great team with possible future benefits of working your way up in to the future of the company as I feel this is why many of us leave firms as we put are whole souls in to making boss's money and know that usually after 5 years of doing it will be too knackered and burnt out to carry on... Lead climber position is bloody hard setting the pace and often thankless if you finish a job a few days early and save on crane /Mewp machine hire and wages.

If your going to completely take forestry off Arb courses there still needs to be taught the basics of presenting timber for resale... Some of what I have seen is not good so I doubt it's taught now either. Also snedding out and cross cutting timber is important to handling timber and even brush more safely and easy in Arb as forestry, nothing worse than been whipped in the face or stabbed by a peg because not even basic skill of snedding is taught.

If I had the time and money I would build one of these out of an old lwb G wagon and stick a modern merc diesel in it. The chassis are bomb proof along with the gear boxes and diffs that will pull you out or up anything with out breaking down like a LR. I had a swb base G and its performance off road was so much better than the 90 I owned despite not even having off road tyres!

Eddy can you stick as many pics as possible up of the 560 port work up when you do it. Can't see any thing on AS in pics to give me an idea of what's needed to come off. What's people's thoughts on polishing ports as well ? Is it possible the fuel side may benefit from being rougher ?
-
Do you need the piston for the port work ?
-
Bottom end done on the 560,couple of taps with the copper Mallet to the fly wheel and clutch spindles after it was tightened to loosen the bearings and a jobs a good un. just awaiting a red barn piston and I'll post you the head and exhaust to mod Steve, if that's cool ?

Agree kev that's why I say they should have a minimum of 6 months already in the industry so they know what they are letting them selfs in for and not wasting very ones time they come across in the future, there own included.
-
So what do you have to have to get on a college course these days ?
-
I would like to see colleges only taking students with a minimum of 6 months experience already in the industry.

The vibes mostly ... They are ok if your using them 2-3 days a week for a few hours. The filtration is terrible ... Possibly the worse I've seen on a saw, we still run a couple and it makes me cringe the thought of picking up one of the rattly heaps.
-
Hate the 460 so much I don't think I would consider the 461.
-
Cheers daz your old girls working fine , a lot nicer than the JD to work with as well. I can see now what the fuss is about with the valtra/valmets !
-
It won't noodle in knots.
-
Looks good Chris.
-
Winching with the 6400 today and found a summer pic of the JD 2650 pulling timber.

It says clean the arrestor regularly in the manual if it's never been done...
-
I cleaned out the fuel lines and carb a and it left me stumped on husky hedge cutter as it did exactly what you described .... Then realised the bloody thing was still in there !! Took it off and it was spot on
-
Sounds like the spark arrestor ... Have you removed it?if you have not that sounds exactly like the problem.
-
Mate when I first gave up drinking about a year ago I went from average of 4-5 pints a night to no holes barred Friday ,sat and an all day session Sunday.... maybe a thirsty Thursday... Any way I had pretty much what you describe and it goes after weeks... I started drinking heavily again when I got turned over but have since moved and probably only go out once or twice a week and feel one hundred times better... You are slowly killing your self. I've had kidney stones and shingles and attribute them to being constantly dehydrated and run down.

Yard broken into again in Southampton
MattyF replied to HRG Tree Services's topic in Stolen Equipment
Good to hear they got nowt.👍 shame they didn't cut there heads off or some thing on the broken sky light. -
Faffing !! It's 30 secs with a flat head and long nose pliers so well worth the effort. If you don't clean them the engine will not run eventually any way so you might as well just remove and put them in a safe place incase there is ever a drought 😄😄 they were only put in for California fire regs anyway
-
It bungs and restricts your saw up and it Gets worse the longer it's left on is what it does... Bin,destroy!!
-
Got a new 576 yesterday it was about 70-80 more than I could of got it for... They fixed my logging tape for free so that's £50 saved on a new one.
