Run a film of grease around the inside of your air cleaner cover,it will pick up the fine dust before it hits your filter.Check it and wipe off the grime and recoat as needed.We are only talking about a film of Grease,not a layer like peanut butter on Toast!

Are the people in their "R&D" department always on LSD?
-
Been snowing on and off for about 24hours,the fijord in front of the picture has enough fresh water on the top that it often freezes untill mid day
-
Dam! All these years I've been using brake fluid and sand,is it available in the UK?
-
I can't see the front portals wearing out faster than the back ones would,should a chipper be mounted on the rear linkage?
-
Its a sad fact of life in the Uk that your hard earned gear is constantly at risk from theives.Sorry to hear about that theft mate
-
I sank my unimog to the chassis rails when the chipper's vibrations caused it to sink.All the while I was feeding the chipper with the excavator thinking that the feed tray was getting lower because the hydralics were creeping! Lesson learned:heeeelllllooooo:

Kill joys! When did this start to happen?

I think they are the Tree most often found growing on "waste land" road verges and poorly maintained areas,thus they along with vegetation around them considered weeds. It not that often that I have come across mature Sycamores. Be a shame to fell the Trees you talk about though,hardly fit the "weed" bracket.

Man I used to love Wal mart,but I think they spray some kind of weird consumer LSD into the air con? You go in to buy some fish hooks and leave with ten pairs of socks,a garden hose and a alarm clock.

"We don't need no bling..all we have to do is sing" Oh dear.....

I'm pretty new to the maintanence contract area myself.We landed one recently,pretty much an established subdivison with communal parks and common areas.To help prevent endless requests for work that residents hadn't asked the board for,we posted each house a flyer to remind them that tree work was occuring on the dates stated,I think it helped the board resolve more Tree issues and gave us some cheap advertising.

I don't carry a knife up a tree anymore,I lost to many.Silky saw is aways there in an emergency (like your climbing rope being fed into a chipper).
-
How old do you recon that might be?
-
Salmon Burrito's and orange juice! I can't afford to drink to much in Norway!
-
Man thats some nice work,was that a Pinus Radiata? I get envious of that blue sky you have so often in your video's,thanks for sharing that with us.
-
Its all good:beerchug:

1) I like Big stuff 2)Big bars are for big Trees and enable the faller to make all cuts from one side of the Tree. 3)Double "gob" cuts,boring the center out of the tree and quarter cutting the back cut etc.Take much longer.
-
I rolled a 20ton dozer twice and then back onto its tracks.Worse thing was that a can of blue log marking paint arc'd across the batterey,exploded and covered me in paint and made me a abit deaf.
-
Very nice! that looks like no other than "Tony Treadmill" standing firm in that garden?
-
Yes,Yes we did measure it.My 59inch bar was unable to make a complete backcut so I am able to tell you it was infact over 59inches through at the butt:wave:
-
Thanks,there was a pretty huge limb that was about 45foot that went laterally between two trees,over the road and fence and touched the trees on the otherside! We had five pulley involved in spreading the load from the tips to the trunk.Snatching the logs off that stem made for a bouncy ride alright! I have a video clip of felling the Spar yesterday that I will try to upload.
