there are these but there are also some with straight sides, that when viewed from the side are truly A shaped obviously with a flat bottom, and as such are more hollow. the principle being weight against them is also weight in the vertical which holds them more securely downward also. theres a couple of companies advertising them in farmers weekly, but like i say, theyre not too difficult to come by from waste handlers, docks, ports etc will find a photo of the ones im really on about

thanks very much! Im taking seven seas joint care (cod liver oil and glucosamine?) daily so Im grateful of anything else to try.

if you're not bothered about putting a roof on, how about the precast concrete 'A frame' thingies that they put around various heaps countrywide? for one thing theyre a simple solution, they're self supporting. our local composting plant just shut down and the farmers had all their stocks for their sugar beet

Have a bit of trouble with my shoulder from time to time. becomes painful in one rotational position, it's been coming and going about once every 6 months since i stopped climbing full time and started working for the dark side. at one point it was almost too much to handle a saw for nearly a week. I suspect torn rotator cuff or similar, but the number of times it's come back, im increasingly concerned that im gonna do something that's going to set it off big style. just started to get back into some mild training to get back into shape, partly because of an increase in my workload and partly because of my impending wedding next year. been humping gateposts around the last few days and digging post holes in the evenings most days and i got a twinge yesterday. today it seems fine, but id love to know something I can do to improve it. not to mention when i rotate my right arm especially under load, or lift weight directly above my head i hear the joint clunking and cracking. and my knees ache when i go to bed, im trying no end of custom orthotics for my huge yet weak arches, im pretty messed up and im only 23!

if its within budget, id go for the 372. Best saw I own if you're gonna be out in the cold all winter ringing up, get the xpg version. keeps the circulation going and effects of vibration minimised by the heated handles and keeps your hands toasty and gloves dry at the same time. it's made of win!

it's more than I earn in the oh so bloated public sector

most of it isnt text speak though. I could just about understand that. more and more of what gets posted can only be described as closer to Klingon!

this is all assuming the land remains in the forestry field of use!

a saw running lean will tend to overrev. a tacho can tell you the engine revs which when compared with the manufacturer's maximum revs figure will let you know whether it is running rich or lean.

good shout! Im giving this a go next climb!

Thanks! We can only hope!

heres one of my very rare outings into the world of the macro photograph a few more can be found at my flickr page Flickr: ecolojim's Photostream but ive not uploaded any for aaaaages and cant until i remember my login details. oops

no drawback in the summer at all fella, just turn the handles off after a year with a 346xpg i had to have my new 372 in xpg flavour and im massively pleased i did. make sure you wear gloves cos it can get fairly hot, but tbh in the environments i work, i find one of the crowning glories of the heated handles is it actually dries your gloves. no cold hands, no wet hands, good circulation, no worries!

not sure i could get away with that given that im getting married on the 28th that's not to say im not trying to figure out a way!!

372XPG. brilliant saw, keeps your hands toasty and warm. worth the extra in my opinion if theres even a chance it'll keep the onslaught of HAVS at bay

with increased iso comes increased noise, but it's easier to remove noise than it is to correct bad focus from slow shutter speeds. another Nikon DSLR user here. concentrating mostly on my wildlife photography 18-55, 70-300 and soon 150-500mm lenses

last time i read it, there was also an exemption for tradesmen, eg builders, carrying materials and tools required to undertake their work, suggesting that the requirement of a tacho is in some way linked to carrying a 'product'

think ive seen a similar product on riko's website and also by binderberger amongst others. no idea on price im afraid

My 30/31 cost around 500, my 38 around 350.can't remember what my 32 and the others were. Seems a lot. What are they proving for that price?

Evening guys, hoping you could help me do my sums, or simply speculate some numbers for me. Doing a viability writeup for purchase of a crane for feeding the farmi ch260 at work for efficiency and manual handling/health and safety purposes. What im trying to put a number on, is the volume of wood that we are trying to deal with on an annual basis. we have literally miles and miles of what should be 3-5yr willow coppice on the riverbanks. for argument's sake we'll call it 5 years and over for some as it's all got very behind schedule. It's roughly one stool per half metre though it varies, and the willow can be pretty damned tall. 20ft wouldnt be a bad average, and more often than not, as deep front to back as they are tall. problem is, diameter at base is anything from an inch and whips to 4inch in some cases. basically, the comparison between hand feeding and crane feeding in terms of cubic metres per hour is obvious, but im trying to impress upon the powers that be, just the sheer volume we are trying to deal with over the 40 some miles of coppice If anyone could offer some suggested figures, thatd be gratefully received

the actual law is simple really your vehicle has a GVW, a maximum weight it is allowed to be. It also has a GTW, the maximum weight it can be itself with a trailer and a maximum towing weight at no time should the trailer exceed the maximum towing weight at no time should the vehicle exceed its maximum gross vehicle weight the train weight is merely the two maximums added, but both should be adhered to seperately

the weight you're towing has no bearing on the weight you're allowed to carry on your truck though

I was at loch garten this summer at the Osprey centre. Got engaged at the summit of Cairn Gorm. Plans afoot to move your way in the next five years.
