  1. Wise words As Hommer puts it, "do things half assed, then you won't be asked again"
  2. What is this??? Mumsnet???????? Have none of you got wives?????
  3. I've been doing tree work full time for 18 years and my hearing is still perfect, in fact I often hear things that my wife and children miss. I do always wear muffs and have used PTO chippers more that tow behinds, I think tow behinds are much noisier.
  4. Sounds like you were also doing a 5th, starting the saw with the brake off You maybe need to do a training course :001_tt2:
  5. 25M, thats a big tree!! And the other was a 40M Pine!!!!
  6. I guess you a lot of BIG trees.
  7. But is self tending pretty much the whole point, other wise just use a hitch.
  8. Yes, but unless you have the parts it will be quite expensive.
  9. I do Quad bikes, rock climbing, swimming, tractors, skateboards, etc,etc,etc, are all dangerous, but life is full of risks. I used a saw for years before I took an assessment and have never had any training. I really hate red tape and legislation, in reality its a money making racket for people who would sooner not do real work. I like a simple life
  10. If its an Ag trailer without air brakes it should only be doing 20mph:001_huh:
  11. Yes you do. But like a gun, in a car you are mostly putting others in more danger than yourself. In reality chainsaw cause very few injuries and death when compared to roads.
  12. Of cause damaged dogs need treating with great care and compassion. But IME it works well with normal puppies and kittens.
  13. But does having a long sling in the system not prevent self tending???
  14. Your mother in law pee's on the floor
  15. We did that at our house and it worked well.

    Give'em time to fry a few mars bars for breaky and then they'll be on
  17. If you want to make the world a safer place ban the car not the saw.
  18. No its not, drills,sanders,panes,grinders,etc,etc.
  19. To compare saws with guns is utter nonsense. With a gun its mostly other people that are at risk, with saws its normally the operator. HUGE difference.
  20. Spot on!!!! Many,many years ago when I was first getting going I delivered a load of dead Elm in proven sacks to a posh pub, in the back of my Citron Diane. We all have to start somewhere
