  1. Bastards mate. Gutted for you ☹️
  2. I have the one from machine mart, has 2x 240 sockets and has been great. Wasn't expensive and had option of a 110v too. ?
  3. Haven't bought any saws off him but I did buy a scag 48 mower. It was in lovely condition and he even sent me out a steering rod that wasn't right when I got it. Top guy ?
  4. Harry the cat - mark carter?
  5. Well I'm still here. The mis diagnosis cost me another round of chemo on top of what I should have had. Tingly fingers and a few trapped nerves is all I seem different to before, and my veins have shrunk. Still climbing, am a dad now and only have to be checked yearly, so all is good. Hope all you lot are still checking (or getting someone else to) your balls. Still got my fingers crossed for you Stubby?
  6. I need to replace my Kombi kit but not sure which way to go. I have always had Stihl but after looking at the latest polesaw head it looks like a plastic piece of sh*t and not worth the money. Would be fine for pruning but I reckon on a hedge reduction it wouldn't last 5minutes. So in experience is the head as poor as it looks? And engine wise is the km94 the best engine to go for? I'd like the power of the bigger one but hate the 4mix engine. Thanks in advance ?
  7. Recently had to change how I store my ropes etc. All in breathable rope bags and harness etc in a big husky bag. But it's now in a steel cupboard (to stop Rolands). Inside a tin barn, that gets very hot in summer, very cold in Winter and sweats if my neighbor has his heater on if in site. Am I worrying over nothing? How do you lot store your climbing kit?
  8. I use one of these. Invaluable for hard clay, sharpen to cut roots (works like an axe) and splits concrete on jobs where it's not worth bringing the hydraulic breaker. I normally dig with a straight shaft grafter/rabbiting spade but near trees and in hard stony ground and dry clay this chissel and the shoveholers will do the job no problem.
  9. Nothing wrong with that.... My wife says same to me ?
  10. F*CK that still scares me to death seeing that again ?
  11. Nice little 'rate my hinge' 3/4 of the way up this morning's TPO Pine deadwood.....9/10 for hinge, shame about the angled back cut. ?
  12. Without seeing it could it not be thinned? Let the wind through it?
  13. His mate brought it back because top guys use Husqvarna ??
  14. As has been said before, leave alone or fell. Poplar regrowth is one thing that makes my arsehole go 50p 5p, 50p 5p, 50p 5p?. Seriously not funny stuff
  15. Is this Harry? Welcome to the forum mate.
  16. You can't refer to forum users as members, you'll be reported ?
  17. A lot of the nice Oak trees that have been "pruned" round here look like f*cking hedges!! ?
  18. And think to yourself how much easier the guy had it that topped it last time ?
  19. 6600? Just seen that it's a7600, great machine and will be going long after all these modern pieces of crap are dead and burried
  20. If I had that setup I'd have a semi without looking at pornhub ?
  21. What are you using them for? On my second pair, first were the stretch air arborist and now the new arborist, they are superb. Hard wearing, very flexible, waterproof. Almost make me a half decent climber since converting from SIP. Definitely worth the money in my opinion. And you can buy iron on repair patches....keeps the wife happy ?
  22. Had mark 3 and 4 hiluxs, absolutely brilliant, but as has been said towing capacity is poor and they ain't quick but reliable with good build quality. Only problem I had was with leaf springs, but fitting the upgraded springs with greese points and poly bushes, never a problem since
  23. If it's too thin to climb a wolf pole pruner would do. If too thick for that you should be able to climb
  24. I think a bit of tree knowledge would be more valuable than saw tickets if you want to go it alone. Imagine pricing and you couldn't name the trees, or suggest how and when to prune, or what would be best for the tree, and better for the client in the years to come. Tree knowledge and biology is very important and learning how and why to prune properly. Good luck ?
  25. Echos ain't bad, got a 360tes and it's ok....you'd be safe if the wife's already left too ?
