  1. If my accountant developed that attitude I'd sack him. One mans loop hole is another mans exemption. Its a bit like terrorists and freedom fighters.
  2. Yes.....................but the house behind and cars to either side ain't and what about the home owner who dashes out unexpectedly to see if you want a brew:scared1: I'm not sure where you work, but we are aways working near cars, homes and pedestrians. We try to get cars moved but often can't. Last year we were removing a small wood land next to a car park, the boundary trees needed a pull line, I landed my throw bag on the windscreen of a van:blushing: (no damage done), very glad it was not a lump of metal. Sorry but I'll stick to my throw bag. PS I don't think most throw bags use lead any more.
  3. I really dislike the title of your thread.
  4. LOL!! thats my eldest daughter, she's just poking it with a stick.
  5. I like how the chain on the top and bottom of the video window on the nosak is that safety no kick back rubbish, probably best they stick to that stuff,lol!!!
  6. I think she was just trying to be kind
  7. My understanding of it is that the farmer can use red for the every day farm work, going too a frow from fields etc, as he is not paid directly for this and so is not classed as hire or reward. However he cannot take cattle to market on red as they are going for sale and he will gain directly from that journey. I was told that timber being taken from a job is not classed as goods and need value adding (sliting and drying) and so is not the same as haulage so a tacho is not required.
  8. So why do farmers get away with red??
  9. I just use one 45M rope, I leave what I'm not using in the bag.
  10. You don't seem to understand?? Most builders bags are NOT "metre cube".
  11. I was thinking that, but the chassis looks all wrong.
  12. I tend to use the chipper hopper, both hands as you say. I bought a grinder years ago, never used it once, sold it to josh a while back.
  13. But surely that will get caught as it passes over the lowering point fork/branch or through the pulley??
  14. I think if you sharped more often you would find you got better results, its all down to muscle memory, if you sharpen by hand free style often enough its becomes very quick and very effective. I can do a 85 link chain in well under 4 minuets.
  15. I think to not sharpen a saw on site is very strange,
  16. Tony you need to remember most of us could never hope to have your level of skill and foresight, so little tricks like this to get our unskilled disorganized asses out of trouble are very useful.
  17. If no gear was stolen most of us would not bother with insurance, so in a way all these thefts are good for getting the insurers lots of customers.
  18. Me too, so little flex in the hinge.
  19. I would agree this is true on a heavy back leaner, but on a more balanced tree moving the fulcrum is very beneficial, IMO and IME.
  20. Also if you look at the pic of the bar it's got burs on the top of the bar and the bottom, I only ever get a bur on the bottom (main cutting side) of my bar. So either bar has been turned without being filed or the chain has been way too tight.
  21. Its getting complicated now, if your gonna do that you may as well just use a pulling line with the lowering line.
