  2. How about the travelling arborist....silky fox Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
  3. I know you were probably asked to do it, and paid to do it, but I kinda like the rustic charm of the before picture. It wasn't a very sympathetic renovation.
  4. 30".... you could get a Stein Arbor Trolly down there. :-)
  5. Wasn't there a Mythbusters where they mixed petrol and sugar and the vehicle worked ok, May of been for cars and not saws. Try and get as much security, as in different forms to slow them down, wheelclamps chains, trackers. Putting signs up is also security, and covers your *rse. When a chipper gets nicked the money it costs to get all the security put back on it, not to mention the insurance increase, the excess and the downtime to the efficiency of your business. You just need to try and prevent anything from happening in the first place.
  6. Had to give this one it's own thread. Is this the best or do you know better.
  7. 460? 260? Find how fast you can get spares locally to you!
  8. Ian did suggest Jonesies first, but I would need to do 18 miles across London, so I asked if he had a good relation with Honey Bros, which he did. Job done.
  9. I think a moustache (and a fag) is the first line of defence!
  10. I spoke to Ian Fletcher at Fletcher Stewart who, may I say us a top, top geezer. He gave me a price for a replacement piece which he "found"said he would get it to me next day, I said great, but could of done with it for todays job. He said he would talk to honey brothers and asked them to sell me the handle of the one they had in stock and Ian would send the replacement to them to replenish their stock. Had my handle by 11-ish. How freaking awesome was that. Thank you all for the suggestions! Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
  11. It's not just you people up north who didn't know about it. How about a mailing list for those who want one? Think how many people you will reach. ..And of course a bump would of been helpful :-)
  12. I've lost the handle from my trolley. (think it fell off the truck) Are there spares available. Does any one have a spare one (?). need one like yesterday, or do I need to buy a whole trolley, till I can make another handle. Any help really appreciated.
  13. Something like this.. it says it is easily de mountable. Think I will give them a call soon. ML500 SB Van - Cranes and Vehicle Lifts - Tail Lifts, Swing Lifts & Vehicle mounted cranes and platform lifts.
  14. No- I can't fit the hoist as I have a covered wagon, It's one of these: Clarke 1 Tonne Folding Workshop Crane - CFC100 - Machine Mart
  15. Hi all, Your thoughts please. I have my Stein arbor trolley but no crane hoist on the truck. What do you think about a portable engine hoist to get the logs onto the truck without having to cut them. Your thoughts are awaited. Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
  16. I think you will find its around sweet FA, you would do better being a self employed Climber doing 3 days a week with some of the lovely guys and gals on here. Read the In desparate times...silky thread :-) Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
  17. A guy that worked for Connicks was called Hugh Joel... Geddit.
  18. Friends over the road from us sometimes get mail for the flats next door, the guys name is Ivor Bush, they thought it was a comedy name till I put them right
  19. I wondered what meant when he said he had class 1, what with it being TV and all that :-) Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
  20. Good on you Paul, glad you have loads of work. Well done! Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
  21. well that's a pain, how quiet are electric chainsaws? Are there better "cheap" log saws? Or should I look at a chop saw or something with a circular blade so to not lose too much in the kerf Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
  22. Im looking to cut some logs that have been split and dried. Im in a residential area so I need to keep the noise down, has anyone tried a woodster SW41? Or should I go for an electric chainsaw on a log horse. I have around 4 cube to sort. Should I just buy one and report back for all the arbtalkers? The logs are around 19 inches long and I want to get them down to around 6"ish Any other ideas? Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
  23. Your looking at 2 very different machines there. For super tight access and 1 man operation go for the magnum, apparently they blunt very easily, but you would get jobs that no one else would be able to do. if you always have 2 guys then the Rayco/Vermeer/canon option is good, or even a dosko. Bigger wheels, easier to use, or even go for a hydrostatically controlled 27 HP machine that you would be really pleased with 2ND hand around 4 grand Moosie On my Samsung Note - It's big, but it's good
