Sorry to hear about your hound,I hope that i didn't bang on about my lamented terrier on the walk down to the pollards. While walking my old boys daughter on her sons land yesterday i saw a pollard that looks really rather good.

I've got builders bags hand packed with ash split out of a winter felled stem of around 3 foot D. My little digger would easilly handle them,so i reckon on 250 Kg/bag. It would struggle to lift my welding set at 400kg.Clearly I cant use it for lifting operations so this is an educated guess.

I particularly enjoyed Ted Greens' response to hearing an ecologist forget that the things we were looking at were primarily trees,not as from her perspective as "habitat".He pointed out to the vested interests that if they prevented remedial work to the lapsed pollards then the habitat would cease to be. 'Twas good to meet some Arbtalkers and I thought the climber was a splendid chap (just in case I get him as an assessor in the future) It was certainly thought provoking. I must learn to show more respect and not rile those who make the job safe:lol:

i honestly think chain manufactures could make it loads easier ie they put there brand name on every other link but been able to identify which type of cutter or guage or pitch is awkward nail on the head. Worse for the poor sods in the N.H.S. with brand identity more important than the type of use:001_rolleyes:

My 76 year old fellow canal restorer met the lids for the first time last week and found no problems using them without any instruction,despite being a supporter of the other orange ones. I find that if the lid fits,it stays put.The screw ins tend to hydraulic lock and as the oil is used go loose and fall out,leading to damp legs:thumbdown:
-
Would it be possible to list a bar to go with the chain loops? From your site even I would have no probs. replacing an existing chain,what would be handy would be to be able to buy a longer bar and chain together for the 260 or to go shorter on the 441.

Fairly certain that 112 enables the emergency services to identify the cell that a mobile call is made from,999 does not do this.So 112 is best practice. Most of this is basic c.s.30 stuff really methinks:001_huh:

It's such a horrible, dirty,corrosive and harmful to health fuel that it's days are numbered anyway.

chestnut stakes treatment
Canal Navvy replied to Ben Ballard's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Does anyone on here do split chesnut laths for use with lime plastering on my listed building project? Winter cut of course:thumbup: Doh, im in north Wiltshire by the way and standing wood would also be good -

Is it a problem with the Stihl 25" bar? We were talking about this on 441's recently:001_smile:

the lid from a Zing It tub makes a better lifting point methinks:001_smile: not C.E. marked though,so not lolerable? that is assuming that a cuppa comes under P.P.E.

i've poked my nose outside and it says nah. the Land Rover usually goes on sick leave when snow is due & it is in good form:biggrin: i could easily take tomorrow off to play in the snow,i find that Chippenham in Wiltshire is the most boring weather place i have ever lived in!

My god daughter was born 10 weeks early at a birth weight of 1 lb 11 oz. She had very good care in the nicu unit at Bath Royal United Hospital. Just recently (at the age of six going on seven)she was overheard fundraising to buy a brick for the new unit. So to follow her example I am going to match my "Arbtalk" donation with one to the "buy a brick" campaign and in the unlikely event of winning a prize i will donate the value to the same good cause. Anybody else feel brave for their own local cause?

the last bottle i bought came from the deli at Newnham by the river severn:001_tt2:tasty

I wondered if the dealer that I bought mine off used a non bio chain oil to P.D.I. it & it reacted with my bio oil.

I had the same with my 441 25" bar combo on it's first outing ringing up. Hasn't happened since.

wheres the date on my sequoia harness??
Canal Navvy replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Climbers talk
On the seatbelt question. Glass acts as a U.V. filter,wonder if soft top cars have their belts checked more carefully. The modern M.O.T. system would highlight such things. On climbing kit, being able to identify man. date is crucial for re-call purposes it would seem.:001_smile:I suppose that loler do have a database:001_smile: -
rattling around in the cobwebs of my memory i once used a D.B. that had a T shaped metal tap like thingy on the injection pump that had to be screwed in or out for cold starting.

Canal Navvy replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Climbers talk
Thanks for the info My Stein Plasma may become a cycling helmet in a couple of years time. The Austria Duo appears to have quite a long life for my intensity of use. I suppose it would make sense to have the L.O.L.E.R. done by the the same organisation as the CS 38 training. thanks again, tim -
I'd forgotten that,oh well:blushing:
