ecolojim replied to mendiplogs's topic in General chat

check for loose or collapsed/delaminated boost hoses

it's an interesting one. if delivering a product, definitely, theres an exemption somewhere in the table as i understood it, that covers carriage of the tools or materials of one's trade in the towing vehicle and/or trailer. not sure about 'arrisings'

Same with my degree in Music Production (sound recording). Ratio of graduates to directly relavent occupations is fairly dire. I chose to MAKE it relavent to my other skills and workstreams and make some limited moves into wildlife sound recording and filming

What about any of the panolin range of oils? All our excavators at work and plant to work anywhere near water runs the stuff and to my recollection there are several formulations so one might suit your application

nothing?

If the chap wants it for coppicing and hedge laying, along with a bit of felling, id have to recommend the husky 346xp or xpg and keep your hands warm. One of these armed with a 13 inch bar is a force to be reckoned with for rapid coppicing or snedding. CS units specify a maximum of a 15inch bar, so theres no reason why you couldnt do the course with a 13inch bar fitted. Ive refreshed all mine at work with a 13inch 346. on the higher modules it actually makes the choice of trees much wider. The 346 is a better saw full stop than the 260 from experience, lighter than the 261 on paper, and with overall lower vibration, but the real bonus is the way it handles. the front handle makes positioning the saw for felling and snedding a dream, and the little felling direction marks on the casing may well prove to be a bonus for a beginner user. Even the stop start controls make more sense, so Im going to say the 346 would be the 'easiest' saw for you to learn on. I wish id had one instead of that great numb ms290

thanks Rob

Rob, is the Uk forestry standard document available to peruse online? Wouldnt mind a bit of bed time reading
-
Anyone know the ins and outs of property law and as to whether failure to complete is dependant on midnight or the end of the working day? Thanks Jim

Not to mention nobodys saying it's 2000 years old. In 'fact' Records suggest it was felled and replanted from a cutting during the civil war which puts it a few hundred years old.

Hell of a lot more to life than facts and figures! No need to be disrespectful
-
I like that. Not complicated, not entirely dissimilar to the American cord and face cord system. Stacked cube, loose cube. Sounds good to me
-
perhaps we oughta use cords and face cords, where a volume of air gap is implied in the measurement
-
I run a 13inch bar on a husky 346xpg for the current task at hand, it ticks all the boxes
-
Sorry for the hijack, but if anyone would be willing to discuss with me, perhaps at some length, how they would manage a plantation of norway spruce, originally planted as christmas trees at roughly 4ft spacings but now some 25 foot tall, please PM me!

Excellent work Armin! Love the flowing lines. Always fantastic to see carvings done in situ where there really is only one chance to get it right
-
try a lined rigger glove. nice and warm, loose enough at the cuff etc to slip straight off and up the chipper spout. as for the cold weather... heated handles id rather lose a glove than any kind of injury any day
-
Id quite like one of these all told
-
I can certainly agree with that, so all Im saying is, why not make that crystal clear from the start?
-
Ditto!
-
I'm a short arse so I'd love a big ol patrol ute! Can't be as cramped as a LR and must pull like a freight train!

Interestingly again doesn't say a formally trained aerial rescue crew. All I'm saying is the one word makes the world of difference Not saying it 'shouldn't' be the case that you need a formal proof of competency. A level playing field is a good thing, but I feel there is always a certain vagueness in what is legislation, what is recommended and what we can or can't be screwed with
