    when where what
  2. works a treat
  3. craig was showing us how to make a trigger so you can put as much pressure on as you want then aim and release and believe me burgers geak up at full whack but tea bags wernt too bad if not too much pressure applied as monkeyd will vouch for after he was hit in the nether regions with one my big shot is now rigged up with one will try to photograph and post
  4. will have a look in manual tomorrow
  5. nice harness matey
  6. on that we will dissagree we have had a proper friday afternoon machine that has had more faults than a skoda more gearboxes than sets of blades and has spent more time in the garage awaiting parts and warranty work than i care to mention but i do think we have been unlucky and the tw250 out performs it every day
  7. jensens need more daily maintenance than any other chipper i have owned or used
  8. for me the biggest deciding factor you need to start with is size
  9. my tw 150 has only ever blocked once and wet conifer with blunt blades which sense out stringy stuff
  10. likewise how much time folk spend maintaining a £400 pound chainsaw to a 15k or more chipper and the chipper usually does a lot more work in a day and how often we sharpen a saw to make cutting easier when a chipper with sharp blades chips better and causes less damage. I totally agree with coments on build quality issues but price usually reflects that when we bought our tw250 we could not get a 8 inch schlising for the same money spare parts availability count for loads our jensen was of the road for 6 yes 6 weeks for a new control lever
  11. timberwolf 250 is the the best ive used so far kwick chip the worst followed closely by the jensen p,s if anyone needs any blades for kwick chips please pm me
  12. if had to score that performance i would give her ?
  13. we have it pretty bad around here although a lot are recovering so we are not panic felling anymore
  14. cinch on rope positioner with swivell on yale platinum metal strop
  15. is that why you have yet to have yours inspected then or are you embarrased about the size of your kit
  16. i have a log burner and have you really thought about cost if i did not burn it i could sell it i use tons of the stuff as its free if i had sold what i used last year approx 7-9 ton that would have been a lot of oil or gas and as fuel prices go up so will logs £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

    rigging SWL

    whats the point in sending your stuff to be lolered if your then going to disregard there points and petes right maybe you should think about independant if you think that they are failing stuff for sales although i would doubt that and as for the strength been in the core i suggest you investigate further and maybe tell us how you have used the rope ie pulley or natural crotch

    splicing course

    well the course was today a big thanks to nod for teaching me probably 1 % of what he knows about splicing god my hands are sore 2 succesfull splices and loads of tools to go away and play with but may have to wait till my brain and hands recover well worth attending if only from a rope knowedge point of view and will now be able to loler splices with a bit more knowledge
  22. would want to know how it had happened looks like cuts to me would like to see it in the flesh but gut feeling is bin it
  23. who told you that
  24. i will bring a double isc one next sat
  25. maybe something to do with my build but none of my stretch air zips have ever been a problem
