I set my Jensens in with .5mm close to the axle and 1.5mm outside. Forst's shear bolts because the blade to anvil angle is aggressive to help the feed rollers pull in material my guess.The gear driven feed roller setup on a jensen must have been to expensive to copy.

You got some advice from me about presenting yourself at the company in person,yet you are still sending emails and calling without any luck? Could it be that you are a bit of a twat? Go put your best foot forward ,put yourself out and show some pluck and dash.

Have you tried pushing it down a hill then dropping the clutch in second gear?

You need a chainsaw,a rope and a sense of adventure.

You can do quite well as a contract climber,but frankly you will be starting to late to do that. It's going to take 5 years full time climbing to get any good ,by then 25 year olds with the same experience as you will be getting faster as you at 45 will be slowing down. Start your own gig if your keen

I would not chance the jump into tree work as a beginner in the current economic climate at 40 years old. How about rope access work? I am retraining into that after 28 years of tree work. There is call for welders and just your welding tickets will help alot. Its much much easier than tree work and far better paid. I had never in the tree game been on site for days " just in case we need you" in RA that happens quite a lot. I was on a job for 14 hours,made £1200 and did nothing but watch.

This is for banks to lend you £200k,they only need £20 liquidity. That £180k of imaginary money is earning them 6% which is £10800 per annum . Two years along that's their risk covered and the rest is their profit. Ker-ching -
You have probably drained the tank and cleaned the filters,there might be an inline filter someone has put in somewhere stupid and its sucking air from a split in the line or its full of water. Pull the fuel lines off it,put new ones on because you might have a intermitant pinch in the lines,fuel starvation or air getting in can cause the same problem you have. Put a electric lift pump on it.The lift pump on Kubota's can be problematic, decent electric lift pumps are cheap. Kubota is a solid brand but their starter motors and lift pumps are not the best.

Company directors legal responsibility for debt.
Mike Hill replied to steve@black's topic in Business Management
Take possession of goods to the value of the debt. I have done this twice and it worked out. Cops wernt interested because it is a civil matter. Just don't hide the kit somewhere they can find it and don't use it until they pay up. -
Felling some tall spruce on a steep hillside. Made worse by them leaning uphill. I had to fell the trunks full length and deal with them sliding back at me by fleeing full speed in terror.

Hamas HQ is under the hospital,they have cells there where they torture captives . All collateral damage is propaganda to Hamas the leaders of which are likely in the south now anyhow. There is some truly disturbing footage and reports out there on what Hamas did during their latest terror attack. Personally I hope Israel turn the Gaza strip into a giant car park.As does the rest of the civilised world who live without their heads up their arses.

Do you work in a factory now J? Did you sell your forwarder in the end? Hardly any Swedes want to work in the sticks,there just isn't any life or opportunity there.
-
Finnish price ,final sale price.
-
There are many beautiful properties in Sweden,it can be difficult to determine how much exactly they sell for though. They seldom publish the sale price. Sounds like you have the perfect job to make the most of the cheap places to live Steven.

Here are the same size house's 30km from Stockholm Central. Bostäder till salu - Sverige - Hemnet WWW.HEMNET.SE Bostäder till salu på Hemnet i Sverige. Your looking at about a million quid. After about an hours drive in any direction from Stockholm it starts looking like a David Lynch film.

Sweden boasts not one but two monthly tractor publications! My mate grew up about an hour south east of Hamstad. In his area farmers were leasing cabins for 1kr per year because no-one was holidaying in them anymore. You had to visit them " X" number of times per year but its just not popular anymore.
-
But that's in the middle of knowhere J,with few job prospects. Houses are cheap where you live for that very reason. List up a house 30km from Stockholm.
-
Maybe But they were already in the Med anyhow and a carrier is a huge munitions resource if the Yids need more bombs and bullets parts etc. Plus it's a warning to Iran not to get too rowdy. Honestly the gulf states would welcome the Gaza strip getting turned into a giant car park.

In stark contrast to Joe's slog. Mature Elm hanging over a reception and sea lion enclosure, down and gone in under 2.5 hours. Used maybe half a tank of fuel in each of the saws.

Two of the best old growth fallers I ever worked with smoked weed.At work. One of them had a great voice and would belt out country and western classics all day.He could lay out a strip like a giant had combed all the trees over,he must have been in his early 60s. The other was a Vietnam veteran,who was incredibly tough.

How far from the hedge is the tree? £8-12 k would be nice.
-
Thing is it all depends on what spec was agreed with the client. Maybe they are going to leave it all onsite? There are a couple of blokes in my town who are happy with £400 a day for the both as long as they keep the wood.They have good jobs in the oil industry and like something to do on their month off. They work trees for a week or two,split and stack for a week and probably make an extra 25k per annum enjoying themselves.

TBH from the picture that looks ok to rigg off... Its your job though mate,do it the way you feel happiest.

I used to knacker about two boards a year in this gopping climate. In the end I just converted the machine to manual control,now I don't have any problems with it.
-
Have you considered buying them both and gluing them together? Then when you ran one out of petrol you could flip it over and be straight back into the game? 500 is an OK saw,I like the antivibes. But a bit over hyped performance wise IMHO.
