  1. Aaron, I think Nod at Treeworker stocks it. I made up a load of whoopies for Steve last year. We bought the Yalex from treeworker at the Capel manor celebration of trees.
  2. That's the dirty Geordies for you. They will knock the crack hairs outta your erse if your not careful. Rich (a true teesider!)
  3. That's where my cube went. Lost is about 3 months ago. Glad it's turned up and in safe hands.
  4. Do you really thing they would advertise a job like that? If the take home was 25k do you not think it would be better offering a job for 32k. I don't think I have ever seen a job in any sector advertising the net income. If your on the book then job are advertised as gross income.
  5. I did this one in day with a mate. I did right hand side, he did left. I would say 40-50% would be doable on the thicker trees. Climb mate much easier than mewp. Just climb through middle and crack on. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/26406-bbc-documentary-about-leylandii-4.html#post439476 No clear up though might I add.
  6. Fair enough Dave. IME and I have used 3 different ones now. None of them picked up chain speed like the 200, they all tended to die in the cut, unlike my previous 200t. They also have had the habit of revving without the chain moving, as though the chain brake is still on. Albeit, only for a fraction of a second, but enough to notice it and annoy me. My previous 200t's have not had problem like described above. I did like the on/off/choke switch on the 201t though. These are just my experiences, you have abviously got a good one. I don't believe all saws are the same. Eg. lots of people have bad reports of the 441, I have had one for nearly two years. Most people who pick up that 441 of mine ask if I have had it ported like my 200t as it is also a right screamer.
  7. Aaron, the load is the load, but the force exerted on the anchor points can be reduced by sharing between different anchor points The angles of the line feeding into the pulley also change the forces exerted on that point.
  8. Cheers for that. Yes sorry for the misunderstanding. I never bought a 201t, so never had to repair it. hehe.
  9. It is a bold statement, but I would say it is the best 200t I have had the pleasure of using. It is an 8 year old saw and runs better than my year old stock saw did.
  10. Tom, don't mince your words mate. Tell it like it is... hehe :001_tt2:
  11. The 201t is no where near the same animal as the 200t. That is why I spent the money a new 201t would cost to repare and rebuild 3 older 200t's. First scenario, new 201t - 500gbp ish and 3 knackered 200's Second Scenario, rebuild and repair - 500gbp ish. 3 Stonking saws. A no brainer really.
  12. Thing is I have done figs before and after and only had the reaction the once... Maybe it was the particular time of year or the fact It was a hard reduction and the tree bit me back!
  13. Buy cheap, buy twice. But don't loose it.
  14. Another awesome fight. Fighting for the truck, you be excited aswell. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVuS2ABWzjE&sns=fb]Isuzu Tournament 2011 Final / Kem Sitsongpeenong Vs Nopparat Keatkhamtorn - YouTube[/ame] Fast forward to about 16 minutes.
  15. Plane dismantle today and tomorrow.
  16. It is really disrespectful for example to gesture for someone to go over there with your foot. Or if your laid down, on the beach say, if you point at someone with your foot.
  17. I dismantled one in May 2007. My jacket rode up as it was raining and the glove stayed put. I got burned right around my whole wrist, in between the two. I can be so precise on the dates as my oldes boy was born on the 2nd June. The pics of me holding the baba show nasty acid looking burns around my left wrist. Blistered up a treat and when the goo spread if they burst the blister spread. Quite painful.
  18. I have never used anything like that. I do recall reading somewhere that the late great Sir Henry used to wash his face in urine as it toughened the skin and he was prone to getting cut.
  19. Teep. Aka stop the army or front kick. If the timing is right then it can stop you in your tracks. The Teep to the face is pretty disrespectful. The feet being the lowest point of the body and in contact with the ground - dirty. The head is the highest part of the body and closest to the heavens. (if you believe that stuff). Either way it is quite disrespectful.
  20. Sound like he needs to be given the Spanish Archer. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prOM-a8PZBQ&feature=share]Muay Thai elbow KO - YouTube[/ame]
  21. Do whatever your neighbour allows. After all, it isn't even on your property and is their tree. Speak to them and gauge their opinion on getting the tree cut before you ask them if they want to contribute.
  22. 15 foot? That will be why it is so cheap. Who provides the cover?
  23. My favourite was when this torch nosed lady came over demanding that work stops immediately... She says I am the head Of the local society, chair Of this... Boss Of that and why wasn't I infOrmed? To which the guy I was working for lifted his ear muff and says ...". Sorry to disappoint love, but maybe your not as important as you thought you were!". Drops his muff and carries on cutting! I nearly peed myself that day.
  24. Second only to Steps in my opinion Tony. As for tapes. You must remember them from you NOW that what I call music compilations.
