  1. Push ? You turn the screw [emoji1303] I like the 500 but this is off one ring on a stump cut They should of put on air injection!
  2. Can’t tell the difference now !
  3. Nothing to destroy your feet quicker for life than badly fitting boots! I won’t wear Meindles as I find them too narrow, I feel for the lads I’ve known that have endured them as they where supposed to be the best boots out there only to get bunyons and corns. I’ve worn pfanners for years and can’t fault there boots , Andrews you have to be careful with as I’m convinced as you get used to them and they change there design or sizing. Currently on fell hunters which seemed to have out lasted the last pair of arbortec boots I brought that only lasted a month but have done 6 months in them and have found there height great for ankle support after an injury.
  4. I think on the original question has lock down failed , I’m still not sure, it will be interesting to see what real truths emerge, I think the death figures have been massively manipulated, knowing 3 people who have apparently died of it and there family and closest friends say it was total lies to have that on there death cert. Probably the worse thing about lock down though is that it has opened up new divisions in the poorest communities, it has targeted the weakest and most vulnerable , suicide has gone through the roof , I think from start to finish this has been badly handled and can’t believe there where no protocols for such an event happening in place that would of avoided it from happening in the first place or getting to the point it did. Maybe it leaves questions such as do we need to monitor who and what comes in and out of our borders with such track and trace and if you travel abroad should quarantine be enforced with self isolation on return ....lots of questions but I don’t think we could sustain another round with out wide civil unrest and possibly a collapse of society.

    Bar wear

    Are you running the right chain though?

    Timber

    Think it depends on where you are , we are short but I’ve been told by euroforest there is a big surplus as egger have not been taking timber and neither most mills but most of the private contractors carried on cutting if they where already set up on sites too.

    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.
  9. 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.
  10. Para trooper flag, probably a very pissed off vet..
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. I love them but they are still a temperamental saw, I would invest in a d shaped screw driver for low jet adjustment.
  15. 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
  16. Thankfully they wanted the arisings left for mulch.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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!
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Bastard service tree?
  24. I don’t think any of you watched that all the way through, in fact I know you didn’t [emoji38]
  25. 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.
