All depends. I swapped 12 Beers for a pair of Alloy Spurs last year and later bought a pair of Spikes just like yours in New Condition for £130 from a member on here. I would guess £50 tops.The Stitching in the Pads needs doing,looks like a pair of Spikes Blagged from a BT Van with some Velcro pads added for extra VALUE!

I made some years ago. I cut some Venison into Strips,marinated it in Soya Sauce and Cumin.Hung it up off a Frame I made from the Ceiling in the Kitchen. Tasted great with a Beer!

Mogs to my knowledge use a standard Merc Starter.You may well turn one up at a local Truck dealer.

I this job the Customer is almost always wrong.Most of us who are self employed realised early on that the only way to run a business is to accept certain realities. 1)If you don't do the job,someone else will 2)Happy Clients build a business,giving Clients what they want makes them happy 3)Qualifications don't impress Clients or Co workers,its how you do it and for how much 4)You are dealing with a Clients Property and they can do with it as they wish. 5)There is a place for Client Education,but about 10% will change their mind. If you want to start your own Company and only do with others Trees as you would want done with yours,your Horizon is very limited.

They used to make Guns as well. I have used both of the last versions of the Husky climbing saw,was not impressed either time.The small number of previous 338's still in service is testament to their unsuitability in professional use. Time will tell.

Oh? Husqvarna-Electrolux - Velkommen til Husqvarna-Electrolux, Norge. Husqvarna - Motorcycle home page Completely different companies that originated in the same town in Sweden and use the same Trademark,what are the odds eh?

Titainium Buckinghams with Velcro Cinch Pads. The Shanks will last you for Life and I have gotten seven years out of the Pads.I use them every day pretty much.

If its anything like Husky's last two attempts at a climbing saw,it will be the same Turd,different Curry. They shoud stick to things they are good at making,like Vacume Cleaners and Motorbikes.

Tachyon works best for me. Imori as has been said soaks up too much moisture and thus deforms badly when Frozen.Won't get another one.

To? I put myself through a Grueling Warm up that I learned from these Iraqi Commandos. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfSwS4OO51w]YouTube - Iraqi Army Training[/ame]

There is very little Hand Felling going on here.Sometimes small Parcels of Larger Pines are Felled for Cabin Construction however 99% of it is done with a Harvester. The Line Clearance guys are often on the lookout for Employees,can ask around if thats your thing? -

Could be the bearing. Take the Belts off and Spin the Disc,you may hear Rumbling or Sqeaking both are signs of Bad bearing(s). You can try to shift the disc with a bar any play up or down means the Bearing(s) are going. Replace both bearings as then you know the jobs done.

I can see that Helmet catching on with Tall Ravers who routinely strike their Heads on low Beams at Warehouse Parties etc. Treemen...not so much.

You must drink alot of Water and eat many leafy Veges. How can i produce more semen like the guys in the porn movies? - Yahoo! Answers -
Get yourself a Work Visa from the Canadian Embassy and then head over to Vancouver.Once you are there start calling round,stay at a Back packers Hostel untill you land a job and them move close to it. The Biggest Trees in Urban area's are in West Vancouver.However there are more Tree Companies on the Mainland. You can try Burley Boys Tree Service Davey Tree : Expert Tree Service Since 1880 : Tree Service and Lawn Service in Vancouver, British Columbia Find local businesses, products, reviews and deals on YellowPages.ca No one is going to give you a job without a trial.Likewise its useless being in the UK and not Canada if you want to work there. It can be difficult getting a work Visa for the States and you have to be in your home Country to apply anyway.From what my mates tell me its unlikely that a firm in the US can't find a Climber locally to fill a role.There are alot of solid guys who are out of work.

I love this Weather! There are so many positive aspects to it.If you can't/don't want to work in it then fair enough.Snow is expected here and you just have to prepare and drive accordingly.I tow a 2ton Trailer around the Hills Daily and in 4X4 with a pair of Chains in the back just in case its really no problem,just take it abit slower and use your Brain.I have yet to fail to reach a job,even it it means towing the Trailer loaded with gear in with the Tracked Chipper. There is always a way.

Demand is exceeding Supply,so its a sellers market. They have made an informed choice,and only have themselves to blame if they don't like it. Why do you sell the Macro so cheap?I have found its excellent Firewood and very attractive when Milled.

My Grandmother has Altzeimers and Dementia.She has totally lost most of her cognitive functions and no longer recognises her own Daughter. It will be hard for your Wife to realise that the things that are sometimes said and done by the effected person are because of the illness and not displeasure at the person who is trying to help.Its going to be a tough one mate.
