Neither will the Vermeer.

There is no such thing as a "standard" unimog, each mog is built to a spec, the chassis number is a breakdown of that mogs spec.

The chain brake is inertia operated, so is not reliant on two hands being on the saw.

The thing is who want's to stack shelves? While I see the point you are making, I think in reality if prices for jobs where higher, there would simply be more of an incentive for people to go on their own. I totally agree that many charge far too little, but I don't know how this can be fixed?

Word!!

Whats going to check the branch you chose for your TIP?

How many miles do you get on average Bob and how big of a job is it? Are most modern trannys not also on liquid flywheels?

I don't see myself in a work position where that could ever happen

I have been climbing for over 25 years and cannot think of a single occasion when I have ever been any where near cutting my bridge, I really cannot think of any scenario where I could be in a position where I could cut my bridge, so I'm sorry if you're not happy with my post, but I stand by it and feel its reasonable.

Well, that was kinda my point.

You don't even know me!! At least when someone has the decency to answer my PM's I do them the same courtesy, cheeky sod!!

Firstly I'm not your "mate" and secondly you cannot stipulate only positive replies, when you post on a forum you need to accept that you will get replies of all sorts, if you can't handle that its best not to post, IMO.

If your worried about cutting your bridge I would stay on the ground.

:confused1:Why???

That makes no sense, the pipe should burst before the coupling came apart

Its a rubber one with two filters that twist on.

Not just one tree.

Hehe, no healthy trees I googled it and apparently as Ash is the same family as Olive, its known to affect some. I guess after years of inhaling the dust, plus getting it in my eye's etc, I've just developed an allergy. Its no big deal and in the long run the mask will probably be a positive thing. Think of all that chain oil I'm not going to ingest. The only downside I have so far encountered is that communicating from the tree with the mask on is not easy.

The rash has be occurring on and off for the last 6 weeks or so. Presumed it was a food allergy. Then one day it was way worse, went to doctor, he said it was defiantly an allergy, probable food. I've been keeping a check of what I eat, but there has been no correlation between any food and the appearance of the rash and then the penny dropped every day I had had the rash I had been working Ash.
-
I appear to have developed an allergy to Ash trees, when climbing and cutting Ash I develop a pretty nasty looking rash, quite large raised angry looking lumps starting on my head or shoulders and developing further down my body. The more cutting I do the worse it seems to get. I feel absolutely fine, other than the rash. Antihistamines soon clear it up, but I don't like taking them when working as they cause drowsiness. I've taken to wearing a dust mask when cutting, all the time not just Ash as I do get sinus trouble and my father who was a joiner had problems with sawdust. So far the mask is working well, I dismantled a pretty large Ash yesterday and had only a very few spots at the end of the day. Has anyone else had or know of similar?

You really think Theresa May is going to call for a vote of no confidence in herself?

Excellent posts Reg Its not about laziness, its about wanting to get on and make a living for our families and about feeling we are capable of doing it safely, which many uninjured climbers over many years would suggest is true. I don't know the answer. I have wondered about increasing our crew size and rigging, but that would impact on our standard of life. I also wonder is one handing day in day out makes you less likely to get it wrong, as opposed only one handing when its really needed or on the odd occasion for what ever reason? I don't know.
