  1. really sad news, sorry to hear, i recon he was trying to start the mog with a screwdriver off the starter motor?? nearly had that happen to me on an old tractor a few years back!!
  2. Rubus cockburnianus = Whitewash Bramble i think!!???
  3. i cant remember the bloody common name now though!!!! anyone??
  4. HAHA I still remember my first college ident - Rhubus cockburnianus....had me in fits!!!!
  5. HAHA LOL i was gonna suggest that Skyhuck would be a good one to ask for advice!! haha only kidding mate Sorry couldn't help it
  6. I agree with you lee, hate the new Hi-lux....happy i have an old one...till it dies
  7. Looks the business....shame its not a Hi-lux though
  8. what does the test involve? i have a lot of trailer experience, several years of farm work and also towing trailer behind landy befoe i knew i didnt have licence....tempted just to go in for a test? any advice?
  9. Just wanted to say thank you to Jason for posting the pics....all eye openers like this are a good thing to show others, maybe tomorrow at work we will all think about things that could go wrong and wont mind spending a few extra seconds tying the lowering rope or getting into propper position etc.... Wish you a speedy recovery mate
  10. I have been asked to prune 2 small (30ft ish) Eucalypus trees for my in-laws, The would like this done straight away but i was always told to prune such trees in Spring.... i think they only want a light crown reduction, They have a good habit/shape and no single leader like some Eucs... but I havnt much experience of pruning these...mainly get to fell/dismantle where they have got too big for a small area etc....any advice please..... Thanks
  11. Ha Ha, i met steve woodley and steve pike, both top notch blokes, and a bloody good laugh, i think steve Woodley does the climbing tickets now, I remember him showing a group of lads some "old school" cuts etc....not the sort of thing you would see on a modern NPTC haha
  12. £800 for a 064/650 seems a bit steep mate, have you tried Jonsie/stanton hope?
  13. Also mate if you go on the husqvarna website there is a section there where you can type in a saw model of any age and it will give a parts list etc...try that
  14. 50:1 for sinthetic oil (the expensive husky/stihl stuff) or 25:1 for the crappy two stroke oil....i always use sinthetic at 50:1 myself...not blown up a saw yet...although wish the 660 would!!
  15. yeah, i think gob was fine, should have dog toothed it, and also was felled too high and the downward back-cut is bad practice.....no wonder they lost the war:sneaky2:
  16. i have a parts book for my old CD 2100 husky, she was a 1983 model i think
  17. :confused1:would only take an hour i would say £150.....they are not as tall as they seem if that little ladder is 16ft then they are only 25ft.... its a piece of cake...if i priced that at more than £200 round here i would be laughed at
  18. i use a dremel or flat file, but remember the blades are actually hollow ground, so beter for a profesional sharpen.....it also helps to tighten the blades (especially near the tip) as that will help them to cut better
  19. sad to say i own an ms066, been very disappointed with it, i agree with steve where he says there isnt really a "better" saw, i think that peoples past experiences etc give the main judgement, i have used a 395xp and a CD2100 husky that never missed a beat and i guess thats why im a husky man...the 200t is the only climbing saw though - stihl certainly have that right - just wish that companies (and i dont just mean chainsaws) would build things to last!!
  20. i took one of those down in 2005, was planted in 1993 and in that short time was huge!!! The rings were an inch apart at least!! had some lovely fires from it too:001_tt1:
  21. Whats the story - morning glory!!!
  22. Hey steve, try Rapid Platforms in Spellbrook (near Bishops Stortford) they have all types of MEWP 01279 501 501
