  2. Just good the fundamentals of general tree care good read high climbers is next.
  3. just read the whole thread i waited 12 months for the 540t to come out and got one on trial thinking it would be a matter of yes i like i'll keep this one and NO!!! I found it slow on revs not a patch on my 200, don't get me wrong bags of torque with some to spare, after reading this i might ask if i can try again with Oregon vlx chain in place of that bumper link stuff it comes with as standard. Any one else found similar issue ??
  4. Pfanner gloves I've tried countless makes and styles but the pfanner gloves are very good good for the price i get mine at £2.80 a pair (buying at least ten pairs) have two pairs in different states of deterioration seems to be a good set up at the mo.

  9. I freelance and am booked till mid Jan I charge the average rate and if I could clone myself I could easily be working for 3 even 4 firms. I personally think there is a shortage of climbers of a good industry standard and with so many opportunities abroad and the transient nature of head strong good climbers (inc me I guess) I can't see the current state changing soon imo.

  17. Cool thanks for posting I will get some pics up of mine tomorrow Wilks intrigued to see you have those little torx Allen key folding tools
  18. I'm not a fan, i worked for a firm who had four of them and my observations of Jensen chassis arious poor desigincident of the ures including the table is held up by two bolts and these are subject to wear and tear as is the naff toggle bolt affair that locks it in the close position. The whole engine compartment cowlings become loose as the bolts that fix them to the chassis vibrate free. An incident of chassis snapping in half with in a year blades aren't easy to change as it's awkward to lock fly wheel and turning over engine to change blades is torturous. Spare wheel with no tools or jack to change it ?? Generally the steel used seems to be to thin and cracks appeared a round the welds. Repeated failures of the in feed roller bearings which required extensive strip down to repair. Ignition keys jams engaging starter which starts to act as an alternator and melts the wirring. I should stop there sorry to rant
  19. I'm interested to see what you all carry day to day by way of tool kits that you've assembled specifically for saw repairs and maintenance on the job. Quite keen on how you store it too. Personally I have the trusty ammunition box but there getting hard to find these days. Please feel free to mock my grammar and spellings but many thanks for posting any pictures would be cool.
