Rupe Have you considered putting a Tow Ball on the front of your LDV?Then you could push your Chipper in and then reverse up to it AFTER! Did that help?

Same thing when I worked in Germany and the States. As hard as it is,I think hiring people you know or know of saves alot of Stress. My former Employer in the States would call any references and go as far as doing a background check on any potential employees.Sadly that wasn't fail safe as one guy was a Crack Addict and ran up a $6000USD Fuel Bill by hanging out at the Petrol Pumps and offering "Discount Fuel". Some "Climbers" seem to believe that their competence increases with every Mile they Travel on an Air Craft.The further from home they get,Magically the better they become. How your former Employees ran out on you is disgusting.But it could have been alot worse.

The Sole purpose of that Video was to demonstrate to potential Clients the Techniques used in Section Felling.Most Clients have entirely no idea of how we "Can Fell that Tree without Smashing the Garden". My Video has been posted before,here and on another Website for Arborists.On both Forums my Technique was cut to pieces,fair enough its a discussion Forum after all.

Its the only time I get to see Men in Harnesses without having to Pay for it.

New Radiator?

Why don't you send the Company an Email and ask if the Climber is Polish? Then you will have the Answer.

We must have dumped 200plus Ton this year,was thinking about having a play around selling firewood next winter.

Never worn them Samuel.I bought them to be a part of a spare climbing kit,incase mine was nicked.They will be fine though!
-
A Shoemaker will repair the Pads for very little.I have had mine Fail numerous times as those have, Riveting the leather might make the Rivet pull a chunk out.

Because of the increased demand for FireWood,I was curious as to the reasons forum members Sell it.
-
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!

Joneses.

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]
