    the figures that have been quoted to me indicate that the chipper would not get a 8 hr day from the tank which i find a bit odd

    A neat little trick used in the past over here to try and stop riffraff from jumping over the back fence was to bang 4 inch nails into a bit over wood and leave scattered in the backyard nails up,in the middle of the night you could hear someone jump the fence followed by a bloodcurdling scream,then the dog would hook in:001_smile:

    what you need is a foolproof automatic gate,leave slightly ajar,make it appear to be broken,a good camera system,and a couple of caged hungery pigs,lions or dogs out of sight,once the theivies get in shut the gate and let the terror begin:001_smile:

    one of the reasons so many houses got destroyed is the fact that the home owners are not permited to clear trees around their houses.in one case a homowner did clear a 200 metre raduis around their home they got fined 30,000 plus costs nearly 100,000 all up.the fire made it within fifty metres of their home then run out of fuel.the firestorm conditions didnt help either Fires in victoria and australia general are a regular event due to not enough perscribed[sp] burning. Most of them started by arsonists,some by dodgy powerpoles arcing in the wind and a few by nature

    making chains up.

    kimtree replied to bill's topic in Chainsaws

    I buy from a dealer in another state if you buy a roll 25' or more he makes it up for free,twice a year or so i get a load made up and sent over,even with postage its a third of the price of the local saw guy

    Ive had the smallest speck of african mahogany get into my eye on 2 occaisons,it makes your vision go blurry for up to 4 hours When milling or chipping raintree wearing a mask is essential without it your nose starts running and the taste of the dust is bloody awfull

    I did a small crane job in july,we had a 60 ton on site for 4 hours removing a Raintree over a classroom,total bill $1060 aus dollars,i wanted to use a 30 ton but it was out of town on that day,so we got stuck with the bigger crane. what peed me off was that at the end of the job when the crane moved it had leaked out a good 60 litre of oil on a gravel driveway,and we then had too take out said dirt and re gravel,crane companys response' we thought we had fixed that' and nothing else
