Yeah seen them on eBay 200 delivered. I've only used the stihl ones tho, and can't help but think that 30 quid could be spent elsewhere!

Looking at buying a blower just a hand held type. What do people think of the husky ones? Or should I stop skimping on 30 quid an get a bg86? Cheers guys.

Not to bothered 6" towed one just be doin some conifers with it. Cheers mike

after a chipper for a days hire for a job in leeds, would prefer that area but could get it from north manchester area. thanks mike

Why not just get a small winch and fasten it on to a tow eye and some croc cables to the battery, be surprised how little it'd take to unstuck it. Probably a ton or ton and half would do it.

Mogs are ok till they get stuck then they are really stuck!!!

does anyone remember the top gear years ago where they were testin all these fancy 4x4's on a slippy slope then came up in an old landy which p****d it!

Agree. One of the few films I went out to buy. Even bought the book, tho I've never read it. To think it's a true (if slighty dramatised) story makes you think what soldiers are going through.

3 months on still looking.

May be able to get some references from people I've worked for on here if needed. Cheers mike.

Jonesue thanks for the offer pm sent.

Unfortunately I havnt got any old pairs left, and if I went into my local stihl dealer he probably wouldn't know they made chainsaw trousers.

gym babes, possibly not pc but very enjoyable

Anyone know where to get some repair patches from, for the hiflex trousers? Cheers mike.

Need to get my stuff lolerd this weekend if poss. Anyone know anywhere that does it? Cheers mike

Cheers for the replies guys, the job hasn't come off so won't be doin ua tickets just yet.

Still looking, cheers mike

Might have offer of work in power line clearance, but I can't decide if it would be worth it. The jib is paying 100 quid a day self employed, but as havnt got ua1 or 2 I'd have to get them, got a price of around 800 for both. Thing is us there or lot of work and will it be long term? Don't wanna pay that the get no work in 6 months. Is it good work? Opinions please. Cheers mike

Lucky for me I ain't an old timer yet, an still under 30. !!

What's that doing mozza? Sky installations?

Got to have a laugh at the benefits one, tho to make it worthwile I'd reckon you need a least four kids!!!

based in Manchester, cheers mike

I'm thinking of going training for some other type of work, seeing as how finding work is so difficult at the moment an can't see it getting any better. I'm looking for some ideas/suggestions what people on here would do , preferably outdoor type of work.

Look forward to some suggestions.

Based in swinton m/cr tho I don't mind travelling or even relocating for a permanent job, cheers

Just thought I'd give this a quick bump, fingers crossed.

What's sp stand for? Think I'll send of nothing too lose. Cheers for replies.

Just been on arbjobs and seen the one on there for utility work, is it normal for them to want so many tickets? They pretty much want most cs untits, about 4 ua units and one or two I havnt heard of, just wondering if it's normal or if there just aiming high? Cheers

as it says really still looking for work got pts for railwork cs30,31,38,39 and tractor driving. also got class 1 hgv, got my own climbing kit saws etc. after any work really odd days weekends etc. dont mind what its doing chipping, dragging. anyway let me know if theres anything about, cheers mike 07764581557

im hoping that is the reason for getting laid off, and that ill be back again soon, but im not the type to sit a round an wait, cheers mike
