  1. Hi, Just had to do this job, was a total nightmare, walking on water would have been easier !! Any one else had problems with these ??!
  2. In my experience, the NFU are not the best out there ! Id go with the other guys advice, go with a tree specialist firm if your main game is tree work ! The problems with insurance often only rear their ugly head when there is a claim to be had ! I now underwrite my own work for this reason !
  3. How do you mean "covered your end" ? You sound like you think you have some kind of obligation ? If i were you id swerve the whole thing, sounds like a load of trouble ! I see you not getting paid ?!
  4. I had one for a while, was a good all rounder, reliable and strong, depends an what kind of work you do really ! Well above average I think !
  5. Expert Honda generator repairs and diagnostic advice This is THE generator guru !
  6. If you can shift the massive amount of timber required to make it pay it could work !? bear in mind its become the beer money hobby of choice (firewood) for all n sundry in every village in this cash strapped land !? I dont rekon the Dragons would invest....but....he who dares...Wins or.....loses loads a money !!! Go for it and report back !
  7. Id go for a stihl MS 260....
  8. tell them its fell or nothing !
  9. google search woodlands for sale then baulk at the prices !
  10. good advice above ! a disused farm yard is ideal and they are around ! also, ask your local council about any council farms ! Expect to pay £1500-£2500 PA !
  11. i might have both, just for fun !
  12. im getting one !
  13. you got to swallow it mate...
  14. keep it till the warranty expire then ebay ! great for 3 years in my experience !
  15. i agree with gibbon ! what a lot of nonsense ! If you dont ask the question - there is no answer !
  16. i charge £900 a day for a 3 man team ?!
  17. Land of the free - Home of the brave !
  18. I use a rope grap on my strop but started with a prussik on it ! Whatever, as long as it holds you up it dont matter !
  19. :001_smile:Id go with a 038/039 - strong saws, little plastic, easy to fix and german built ! Huskys may be more powerful but when they go wrong, and they will, are a nightmare to fix ! Stihl take some beating !
  20. I was a personal trainer for many years and the best success story i had was with Radio DJ Jonnie Walker ! He was on 80 a day for 20 years ! Basically when you say 'giving up' or quitting, you've got the wrong attitude as you feel deprived ! you need to remember its your choice not to smoke ! so...you need to keep a full pack and a lighter on you at all times ! you can have a cigarette at any time its YOUR CHOICE....best choose not too but its up to you ! give it a go and go day to day ! one day you will be free but remember - now your a smoker for ever... you just need to become a non-practicing one @ good luck !
  21. :001_rolleyes:201 is going backwards from a 200t !? the dealers all seem to agree too !!
  22. trouble is - none of that actually syops your stuff being stolen ! Ive been selling loads a bits n bobs on ebay recently ! its fetching silly money ! esp 200t bits ! I bought a new ms200t in the box last week for £385 ! this was supposedly an insurance replacement for a stolen saw ! I sold a 575xp - totally knackered - for £200 !!! Madness, it wasnt worth £30 !!
  23. I just took delivery of one from rob ! Im using a ms660 with a 36'" bar with a 36" mill ! Very pleased with results -Ive beenn saving butts for a few years now so im churning out furniture and planks as fast as I can !!!
  24. Logs; you might not ever get rich but let me tell you, its better than diggin a ditch !
  25. I wouldnt start any less than £100 a day mate - your a skilled worker at the end of the day. I would write to all your local co. and when they get stuck, you'll get a foot in the door ! Good luck and dont be afraid ! He who dares - wins !
