    Bar wear

    Sounds like your running 3/8 0.058 for husky’s instead of 3/8 0.063. For stihls and bigger husky’s. I find worn out husky bars will handle the latter but if you run the other even on new stihl bars as I just found out on a 400cm after running out of chain and In desperation having to use the 0.058 it cut exactly as you described.

    Pole pruners

    Best I’ve found Bahco BHP34-37 P34-37 Top Pruner with Triple Pulley, Red, 5 m: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Free delivery and returns on all eligible orders. Shop Bahco BHP34-37 P34-37 Top Pruner with Triple Pulley, Red, 5 m. Then the poles are another £55 but I mounted mine on the park set of poles. Every thing is replaceable on the head from the blade to spring and it has the largest diameter cut I’ve found on a pole pruner.
  3. Did think this was some sort of elm but can’t find any thing that matches... any ideas as a be never come across it before. In the picture that’s the overall tree structure I don’t think that would be true to what ever it is original form as it’s been topped to match a cypress hedge that was around it. Thanks , mat.
  4. Para trooper flag, probably a very pissed off vet..
  5. Mate it doesn’t happen in this country, well apart from Mark duggan and he kind of earned the right to be shot by carrying a gun in the first place. I really am just depressingly sick of the whole thing now , there is no oppression in this country and we are all in the same sinking boat in the minute, all this smashing stuff up is just giving the real racists an exact opportunity to prove a point and I’m ****************ing sick of reading these posts on social media from white middle class ****************wits who’s only interaction with any one of a lower class or different upbringing is picking up coke for there shitty dinner parties where they can boast about how woke they are with there white twat friends who all equally have never achieved any thing in there lives who have never experienced poverty or any hard ship.
  6. What about trying Stuart browns , Toms father? From my experience it’s usually worth getting an expert to look on it as you might need a load of other bits....other wise your bearings will go again in 6months.
  7. The lads we use can weigh grab fulls of timber and it will tell them how much it weighs at the end but not a whole load, can find this handy for weighing grades of timber if we are paying per tonne for different types of wood standing
  8. I love them but they are still a temperamental saw, I would invest in a d shaped screw driver for low jet adjustment.
  9. No ones seen the tree so can’t give a price imo , does kind of remind me of an ash I priced off a picture once and I vowed never to price of a picture again .. driving over Kew bridge I could see the only ash in the location of my sat Nav final destination was this monster thing towering over a 3 story house and my heart sank , it sank more when I realised there was a glass extension under it too. Never mind, rigged out what needed and smashed the rest in a day with two groundies and a cheeky stunt fell and a quality big saw lunge I still walked away with more money than I had made in months so it didn’t end all bad
  10. Thankfully they wanted the arisings left for mulch.
  11. Said it before Jonny, posche 280 or if you have a bigger tractor to lift it a 360, you probs need a log deck on the 360 though with the size it will handle but we used to cut all Arb waste in the 280 I have not really used the 360 so much in Arb waste.
  12. I would be checking defras web site, unfortunately I’ve never seen a grant for a tractor ,timber trailers , processors , cranes etc but never a tractor.
  13. Personally from having long hair myself I would let her try the protos first.. it seems to be designed for people with short back and sides, the ear muffs are even worse with hair around them and neither will the cradle fit.
  14. She not anti vaccine but there are some interesting facts like service men and the Italian elderly who where inoculated against flue with a new strain of flue virus which contains dog covid DNA where all 33% more likely to get covid 19... I’m not a believer of every thing she said but when you lay on the table how and who create vaccines and it’s worrying that there are lots of underlying bullshit about the virus I think you would be slightly ignorant not to question the vaccine at all. I know two people elderly folk now who have apparently died of covid or so it says on there death Certs but there family and every one around them thinks they didn’t have it all, they are just making up numbers. Any way wtf do any of us tree cutters know!
  15. Lost some courgettes and had the tips burned off the top of the potatoes with frost a couple of weeks back in the tunnel.. would not surprise me if we got a frost now still , had snow a few years back late may. Have found using firewood processor saw dust from hard woods makes a good mulch in the poly tunnel though and means it only has to be watered 2-3 times a week as it holds in moisture around the plants and means I’m not weeding it every other day too.
  16. Spent the day finishing off cloches for the carrots and brassicas, hopefully put an end to root fly and caterpillar problems! Got some carrots out the poly tunnel.cows enjoyed the ones that had gone to seed.
  17. I don’t think any of you watched that all the way through, in fact I know you didn’t [emoji38]
  18. Plandemic Part 1 schokkende getuigenis van dr Judy Mikovits WWW.TRANSITIEWEB.NL Vandaag van YouTube verwijderd en sindsdien op veel plekken weer terug-geupload. Schokkende inkijk in de coronafraude door insider dr. Judy Mikovits. Im sitting in the fence about the vaccine, to much does not sit right and although I think the 5g conspiracists have mental problems if any of this is true ,and it has been taken down every time it’s posted ... which makes it more credible.
  19. I will add that was after 8 pints i recalled that bit of info from so may be total bollox.
  20. Hmm, maybe will be better for the contractors though and a get out clause to keep the general public out.. i was told under the FISA guidelines any person in the Forest was allowed to use your facilities. Maybe they didn’t think the contractors had enough problems with tools on mountain bikes and ramblers entering the DO NOT ENTER zones in felling sites.
  21. Brought the fell hunters a few years back when we where winching big Douglas wind blow of a hill site and needed a bit of support but unfortunately due to it being summer I could not bring myself to wear the socks to break them in! Then last year when I broke my ankle I found the extra height and support has been great, I could not of worked with out them ... until then though I was on pfanner pilatus ,which where great for my aching feet and corns! I would be wearing them now if they had more ankle support but that was why I did like them as they where nice and manoeuvrable boots for climbing and walking before my incident.
  22. I’ve ended up wearing these Profell Expert Class 3 Chainsaw Boot (AT35500) ARBORTEC.COM PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Features: EN ISO 17249 Class 3 (28m/s) Chainsaw protection EN ISO 20345 Handcrafted boot Fully waterproof Steel Toecap Puncture resistant midsole Vibram® sole The Profell is a durable boot designed for foresters and arborist alike. To ensure the best level of protection the Profell is certified to C after trashing my ankle last year, they have been great for recovery as they are the highest boots with the most support, I originally brought them when we where winching Douglas fir wind blow off an impossible site but they just never clicked at that point as I found lower cut lighter boots with caulks a better option in the extreme heat of summer I could not bring my self to wear thicker socks to break them in... I guess that is the problem with all work boots though! Saying that the pfanner pilatus where comfy straight out the box, especially for my corns ... I just need high boots or my ankle aches a lot more. Would be interested to hear anyone’s feed back on lavero boots??
  23. I’ve always found Meindls to narrow.
  24. They will stay quite squat if exposed to wind too ...sorry should of read the OPs request a bit better on tree spacing in my original reply.
