Yeah tell me about it, we have to go through a 10 min discussion with everyone over it, so they understand it's not down to us. No ones paying us for the time I recon I'm losing at least an hour a day. But its Stihls and Huskys rules and we have to follow them.

Hi check these guys out, It's a bit of a travel but they have accommodation. Chainsaw maintenance and crosscutting (NPTC unit CS30) | Kingswood Training Services

I'm starting to get things together for the show, I will need someone with a tipper truck to chip into and some timber to put through the Greenmechs on the open day. Can anyone help me out?

I agree, it's odds on favourite at the moment.

Download this and get it to number one, it's a proper piss take of boy bands. I might start a facebook campaign. [ame] [/ame]

Hi I still have the Red and yellow one for sale if anyone is interested.

I think they are re-branded Stein for the UK market, come out at a good price to thanks to Steins buying power. We see a lot of it over here Stihl sell Ochsenkopf axes branded as Stihl, and Elten boots branded as Stihl Husky are selling the new Petzl helmet as Husky Wait till next year you might see some Jonesie products soon.

Selling the gear.

Congrats Enjoy it as they grow so quick my little Frankie is 20 months now, only seems like yesterday I was on gas and air.

We always keep about 20 in stock, so we never run out. One still start getting low we will load up on them.

10 percent isn't good, but some of those came in on the strength of what's being said. As far as the 660s go I've had 3 back that I can think of, but not sure how many I've sold in that period of time. But I remember a thread a few years ago about the 660s not oiling properly, there never was a problem but all of a sudden we had a rush of them turning up to be looked at. I do hope the 201 isn't going to be a problem saw, as I need it to be as good as you do.

They have a problem with a few that need retuning, we've sold about 100 of the 201 and only had about 10 come back. We've also had a lot of good comments on it as well. Hope you all get your saws sorted and if not get in quick as the 200T will run out. And with no dates on the Husky it will be a 201 or a cheep and nasty.

I'll make sure cake is next to the machine.

It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in or...der to pick one to spend th...e night. The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna. The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town. No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.... And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works

Hi Thanks for the input guys:thumbup:, It will be Kingswood doing the training not me as I'm not insured to. They will get a certificate to say they have attended a days domestic training for use with a saw. This is not a pro course and is there to give people the basics of using a saw correctly.

No 1 day, split Morning and Afternoon.
