I keep telling you that you are the only tree surgeon that wears thigh high boots with built in spikes

You are the exception that proves the rule, now please follow tradition and become a premadonna climber:001_tt2:. As I said I would pay a damn good groundie the same as a climber as a company needs both

I think subbie climbers brought in for that awkward job will command quite a premium over a subbie groundie (£120-150ish vs. £80 max). I find good groundies harder to find than good climbers that being from a serious hard graft point of view and not rigging/other technical ability. Groundies always seem to aspire to be the climber as they deem the work easier, it is the usual too many chiefs and not enough indians. Employed I would pay a very good hard grafting groundie the same as a good climber - a company needs both. One is useless without the other.

It may not be the best wage going but it is guarenteed, you know that each week you are getting £x to feed the wife and kids and you will be in every evening and weekend to spend time with the family. Maybe the bosses wife has a cracking job and all the holidays are paid for by her? Has his great aunt Mildred just pegged it and left him a fortune or a villa in the algarve that he goes to?

Ring Jonesie, he offers invaluble advise and will let you know of any special offers/end of lines he has that might save you a few quid. As said above, helmets for you both are a must really

I thought it might be the safety bar switch as discussed, mine played up a couple of weeks ago. Easy enough to identify though

I agree with the above, at roadside you might have a saleable product in the stem as a whole but with poor access it becomes a logistic problem. A couple of hundred pounds and you could buy yourself an alaskan, you already have the MS880 for it. Plank the wood yourself and build something rustic or plank it and store it for later sale.

I bought one earlier this week from Jonesie to make a 'dirty little whore saw' (copywrite Mark Bolam) for stumping conifers etc. It's good and does as expected provided you are cutting less than the bar length or don't want to use the nose for cutting roots. Once the bar starts to curve at the nose it does not like cutting at all. Vibration is much greater than a 'proper' chain but sharpening is really only a 60 second job even after stumping out conifers. All in all, it does what it was bought to do but as expected does in no way give the performance of a standard chain for normal cutting. Kev

Did you spend a suitable amount of time in quarantine on your return?

either the small relay that fits on the back of the green button (assuming it's the same as mine) or possibly the switch on the stop bar. Check the latter by discinnecting the plug under the hopper and shorting it with a piece of wire. Mine played up a few weeks ago but only needed the switch cleaning out.

It's a female one, only a woman could have a butt like that!!!

Mick, The footpaths included bit is wrong and it is only illegal if it causes a nuisence

No they don't but you won't be able to buy a cadbury's dairy milk in the nestle factory shop will you, it might detract from their primary sales!!
