Sorry just read first post again typing error Price £320

Regarding the carbs i think there for it the got mixed up with the hedge cutter ones. Never tried them tho so i'll chuck them in for free. The chain brake bands ones ms200t and the other is a husqvarna 375 i think. I've also got a few ms200t brand new chains some were, put them in a safe place and can't remember were:confused1:

Been off work for a while with back and shoulder problems, before that was useing the company one and useing mine for weekend work. Won't be using it for a while longer so decided to sell. If going back to tree surgery if i can i'll start off again as groundsman.

Had the ms200t for about 1 to 2 years, as you can see not been used very much. To much to list see pics, Looking for £350 but sensible offers welcome. Any questions ask Cheers, Ian

Nice to here it went well, Like i said before were burning sweet chestnut and that burns bloody hot. We will be trying other types of wood too as it was our first burn.

Well done Dean, I would have done the same. It's about time people stood up to Knobs like that instead of socity being afraid of the youngsters. Such chicken shits picking on someone so vunrable. Sorry for the language it makes me angry my dad's been targeted a few times, come home black and blue one day. The most recent was his house robbed but thats for another thread i guess (Intresting story tho). Like you said Dean hope the guys ok and doesn't just give up on life and some do.

By the sounds of it, the builder is nipping in between jobs or when he's in the area. Knows there on holiday so its no rush. I think people are right there is no passion in work no more, just there to earn a quick buck. It makes the good people look bad:thumbdown:. I just think if you want a job done properly do it youself. In a way i work mythodicaly take my time and care get it right, Don't have to go back over it again.

Ha HA:001_smile: that was always going to hit his truck

Went to do a quote the customer was cuckoo, the quote got excepted and she said hold on a minute. I waited and she come out with a cheque said here you go:confused1:. I said i haven't even done the work yet you shouldn't give out Money like that. Certain people these days would have taken the cheque and ran. Another one, Hot sunny day doing a conifier hedge and the customer comes out and says I'll be out for the rest of the day the house is open help yourselves to tea, coffee, sarny. Oh and also sit down in the front room its really cool and shady in there. The whole house would be full of conifier the dry stuff that chaffes everywhere. I turned around and said no thanks for the offer i would preffer if you lock everything up.

Probably not that good so here goes. Me and our 3 brothers had a baby sitter from hell they were like hitler, i was about 7 at the time she sent us to bed early. Oviously being boys we didn't like it so we decided to empty the intire contents of upstairs downstairs. It started small toys, pillows, then it got bigger a mattress then a bed by the time we finished we had our own little flat we were completly cut off from down stairs. The babysitter never come back again:001_smile:

The wife just read what i put and twatted me across the head. See i was right:001_smile:

Fingers and thumbs can be sown back on, but a cut with a chainsaw is messy. they might get fed up with an axe and get someone in who knows what there doing. The wife bit understandable sometimes' can't live with them- Can't live without them .

Old news or not i think you shouldn't be aloud to get a chainsaw so easy. Electric chainsaws should be banned IMO.

Just something i give to customers if neccessary, for them to understand. TPO.pdf

With me the injections worked for a while, everyones different. I would try injections first and physio and try and leave op as last resort. The physio said to me if my back is going to go again it will be above or below the scar. Same with my shoulder a consultant said op, then i spoke to another one and he said i'll give you steroid injections to see how it goes because op should be a last resort, it could make it worse. Hope this help it's a hard descion.

well said

Charlieh, If you think it worth keeping i would see if he can pay for the parts or get postage back. If not open a dispute With ebay. If you payed through pay pal arn't you insured up to £500.

Someone surely should of kept an eye on the climber, to warn groundies of this. On the other hand i always look up if im about to go under a tree to clear up common sense really. Both partly to blame here IMO.

:thumbup1:Well done steve, great site.

I would say it gets checked regularly anyway, im guessing if it did fall it wouldn't damage much anyway doesn't look that big. It's nice giving it a second chance, looks like its growing well. Ian

What does Mr T say "Crazy fool". Surely it's easier to blow it up.

Had similar some one saying tree across the road on a call out, got all kitted up got there and it was a branch. The person could have picked it up and moved it his self. The thing about it was it was 3 in the morning

Reducing big conifier hedge, customer watching you most of the day. Finished tidying up the cusomer comes over and says " Can you just take a few more inches of please. Yes inches not feet, I couldn't help but laugh but they were serious. I did ask if they were joking.

I've had a slipped disc, very painful. They recommend not to stop work as it will make it worse, but to lighten your work load. I had to go down to a three day week, But mine was also operated on the disc was trapping my nerve making my leg go numb (not a good feeling when your climbing). I also started going to physio first which helped alot. I think you could make it worse all it needs is being in a funny angle and it could go. Just be careful. It's like Andy said "What do you do if you have a family to support" . I do wife and two kids, it's harder because it's not just about you, Did i act to late or to much pressure , But all i know i've been off a year and more likely the rest of this year too so act sooner rather than later. Like you and proberly everyone else i loved my job not qualified to do anything else what else can you do, if you get told "ever thought of a new career". I know i might be rambling on abit but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

I wonder what the tree officers comment would be if he found out. E-mail the pic to him, there's so many people getting away with this type of thing and then the public will winge at the tree surgeons because there taking it down. I thought most trees have a tpo on them near shops and on verges. They are were i am.
