  1. i use one from treeworker with a art swivel positioner have used most others and this seems best but not the cheapest way of doing things
  2. when dressing bars they arehardened by heat and blunt files try a carbarundum stone to at least break through the outside layer but dont use your nice one get a cheap one as it wears grooves in big time

    sprockets

  5. how often should you replace a sprocket on your saws if you know the answer well done if not shame on you without looking it up give us your answers
  6. congratulations the real learning starts on monday
  7. i dont bother checking i just charge more if they have a tpo and take the risk of getting caught thats what inurance is for isnt it :wave::wave::wave::wave:
  8. my first chipper was a 6 inch arboreater and after some tlc and a few mods it was a great chipper though have a timberwolf now and it is better but cost me more so you do get what you pay for second hand chippers really depend on whos had them and what you are prepared to do to improve them
  9. does the stitching not get in the way at so short done as a basket i went up a size
  10. i am a poor guy who uses only second hand gear please remember me when you replace your stuff
  11. vertex vents last 5 years not 3 so the extra cost justified the old style helmets with chinstraps are now not recomended and you would not be able to do lantra or nptc climbing in them i have a black vertex vent would not buy another dont stand out enough on ground though i do look damn good in it kong ones are not as good imo as velcro headband gets caught in my hair

  17. i could not see where that birch had been pruned am i missing something
  18. behave
  19. i think you will find 200mm is the smallest redily avaiable i had some 150mm ones done and after the stiching was not realy long enough as the stitching did not flex enough i dont think a 60 or 80mm would be anywhere near long enough to go through any attachment IMO
  20. loler is not crap it is there to protect you . i have yet to meet a loler inspector whose kit is as you say crap the loler inspectors course is a very intensive and hard to pass course so if your not interested in kit you will NOT pass. why did you not show him your proper kit unless its not fit for service infact why did you bother as if owt happened to you whilst using unchecked kit your more in the doo doo than pleading did not realize needed doing. you should check your own kit daily and record it weekly and have it chesked within 6 months for climbing and 12 months for lowereing and yes kit should be marked and identifable so you know its strengh and dates of purchase as kit does not like uv and degregates faster than we realize i could go on and on but there you are and yes i do have all my kit checked and yes i am one of those damn loler inspectors have a good night my rant is over:bongsmi::bongsmi:
  21. i,ll vouch for that
