"Flying Toss!" Got to use that saying more often! Not heard that in years,thanks Buzz!
-
Quite like it.Could do with somthing behind it,but I think its an improvment.
-
"Just cut it! Just cut it" Whoops.

Half of my guys are Polish,so yelling is a waste of breath. Joking. Usually "Below!"

I worked on several Vermeer chippers in the States.It seems like in the last few years they have been designed by "Bean Counters" Rather than engineers. If I were in the market for a 18" chipper and had the acess for it,I'd recondition a BC1800 from the late 90's. Simple Solid Sold!

Come over and have a look at the situations that trees exist in,in the UK MB. Then I think you might gain a better understanding of why trees are reduced in such a way.Leaving them to grow to maturity isn't a frequent option.Felling all the trees that are regularly reduced would turn the nations cities onto a even more forbidding place. Come over and your opinions could be reinforced or reverse. The answer is mearly a plane ticket away mate.I'm sure you wouldn't have to pay for accomadation.If you fancied a short flight further,your welcome to stay at my place in Norway.

Same could be said for a Crane operator Steve.

An old Boss used to say ,"If they want the Tree painted gold,we say mat or gloss". I try and give all the options,if they want the Tree heavily reduced then better its done by a professional than some one with no idea where to cut.

If the kids are only allowed to enjoy what the Government outlines as "fun".Then how many Artist's/Adventurer's/Leaders will there be in the UK's future? I suppose the Police Officer's embarrasment at having to respond to Children riding a mower show's that at least he found the complaint rediculous.But the next generation of Police might not.They'll be a product of the "Nanny States" current policies. Sad

Welcome to the forum Scott!

Looks good! Ash can be a right Mongrel to reduce,I'd rather have a retained Tree looking like that,than a stump to look at. Well done Glen

Ok thanks Dean! I normally use a socket with insulation tape wrapped round it to center the clutch. But theres no shortage of room to work on the clutch buy the looks of things.I'll tip the deck up and prop it,the Hiab will be in there as well holding the gearbox up.
-
Sounds like a great tool! I've decided to do the clutch in the Beford.It came with one and the thrust bearing is making some noise so I may as well do that on saturday.Could I bodge a centering tool with a socket and some tape?Or is the end of the crank too big for that?
-
What laws were they breaking riding a blimmin mower? What would the Bobby rather have?Kids having a laugh or kids loitering outside the off licence? Sad.
-
Since your doing a reduction,it could be likely an old Pollard with some pretty skinny upright growthTo gain a higher anchor-point I used to link two or three individual upright "tops" together with Prusik's or you could use webbing slings.Snap a pulley into this system and you get all the tops moving together,it might be a bit wavey but it always worked for me.
-
At Chest hight would't your hand be in a better position to engage the chain break by impact rather than inertia in the event of a kickback?Chainbreaks often get "sticky" and don't always engage by inertia when the saw is used horizontally. I agree with the logic behind cutting at waist level,but in practice it seems like a strange requirement.
-
They refit and clean these things just outside of Bergen.

I'd speak English if I were English:001_smile: Anyway,the way the immigration flow is going half of the UK will have relatives who speak like me in a few years. I'll give up the trees and offer translation services.
-
Do you use the top part of the Bar nose to make the bore cut in the UK?If I understand that right,then you would be using the part of the Bar most likely to produce a "Kick Back"? I knew I'd get a Rollocking for not wearing the Visor,but they arn't to my knowledge manditiory in Norway.I have got chip in my eyes regardles of it being up or down,it rains alot here and is more of a hinderance to good visibility than a protective device.
-
Ha ha! Who's got one of those?I'd love to have a drive.Were they originally used as gun tractors?
-
The more complex an item,the more likely it is to fail.As the more systems required for its function increase the number of things that could go wrong. My mobile phone malfunctions almost daily.

Alas all the teenage girls that fancyed Gary were at lease ten years to young!

Nice pictures Mani! Welcome and thanks for sharing.

[ame=http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWXWh6wDOXY]http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWXWh6wDOXY[/ame]I was practicing teaching a class and videoed the fell. The guy who rolled up at the end of the video ignored the flagger and just drove around him. Next time I'll bring road spikes. The high stump is so its easier to see.

Well done! Looked like a great day for a bit of carnage!
