The ZZ is better for one handed tending due to the pulley, IMO, its also much more controllable on decent, although the SJ is pretty controllable with practice.
-
So all tree work should be controlled by the state??? Sure democracy and the free market are awful, in fact they are the worst systems except of all the other systems (Churchill, I believe)

A dear friend of mine who is sadly no longer with us told me a good one he read on the back of a match box, "By the time you can afford to lose golf balls you can't hit them very far" -

I'm still using my mark one ZZ and loving it

Got to agree with you there When I look at a job I have two figures in my head, the price I would like and the lowest price I could do it for, hopefully I win the job with a figure somewhere between the two
-
NO,no,no,no, lets please not start a race to the bottom, prices are already low enough, with this kind of thing.

I meaning the top handle, I liked mine at first and thought it was a new dawn, but I now detest it.

Are you still happy with your 540???

Large timber lorry needed in the new forest???
skyhuck replied to HRG Tree Services's topic in General chat
I could be reading the OP wrong John, but I think the timber is in long lengths, presumably it needs to stay in those lengths, so need an artic with large crane. -
I think we have reached a point where people look at different models from the two makes, I used to have just stilh, but I've now got more of a mix. For example the 550xp and 560xp are excellent saws, IMO.

The fast growth of Leylandii is mostly in the foliage rather than the timber, or at least you need a good deal of foliage to produce sizeable timber, so woodland grown would be pretty spindly, with lots of waste. Also weight for weight most timbers are of similar calorific value, Laylandii is very light weight once seasoned, so by volume timber such as Ash will yield a much greaten caloric return, I would imagine. So if its available as a byproduct of tree removals/reductions its well worth having, IMO, but not something you would plant to produce fuel.

I really find it hard to believe taking a separate vehicle to site and home again, setting it up on site, etc,etc can really save any time, even if your climber is not the fastest. TBH, I don't think chogging down from a basket is faster than on spikes. But hay, each to there own
-
After cutting a chog, leave it sat on top of the stem, then begin cutting the next chog, once the saw is safely buried far enough into the stem leave the saw there, throw down the cut chog and move yourself down the stem a little, this way the saw is always in the stem and not hanging of your harness.

I enjoy a good debate even about pretty pointless things The unbelievable bit was just that I've had this discussion repeatedly with people who say they missed items on ebay by just one bid, but in reality most times you have no way of know how much you actually missed it by.
-
-
If there were only 2 bidders eagleyes bid would have gone though, it didn't. I can't believe we are going over this on here
-
Not necessarily, his bid was never accepted (as it was not enough more than the winner to qualify), the winning bid was just £1 more than another bid. I have this discussion continually with my wife she say "darn if we had just bid a £1 more we would have won it" No darling, it does not work like that:banghead:
-
OK, lets say you bid £95 and the winner gets it for £96, you are saying you missed it by £1, but the winning bidder may have had a maximum bid of £150, so in reality you missed it by over £55. As I said you don't know what the winning bidders maximum was.
-
Again, you don't know what their actual maximum winning bid was, only losing bids are visible, the winning bid is simply one bid higher than the next nearest.
