  1. How does a Pantin work?
  2. I asked the same question when i worked on a farm, we had a 24 metre sprayer that wasnt classed as an ag vehicle but as a "special" this meant it could be driven on the motorway etc etc even though it only did 30mph:scared:....A unimog can fall in to the same category, my old forestry contracting boss had an old 1982 mog, we used to take it to Baddow/Hanningfield in Essex and always got our spares and there were several in there for breaking etc, the guy knew his stuff too
  3. yeah...try going to the builders merchants and seeing if they have a heap of spares/unwanted...I got some like that the other day!!
  4. I feel sick now:scared: Have no saw scars (as yet touch wood!!) but had to have a blackthorn cut from my calf a year or so again...that was deep, job to see the scar now though
  5. yeah that is certainly worth £150 i'd say, the timber, The equipment, The fuel/oil/electric, the finish, and the time taken by the rookie to do it too!!:wave:
  6. Yeah its a new series, the climber is good although looked a bit hairy when he was felling and logging for charcoal in the first series, saw was at arms length etc etc...did anyone else think the same?
  7. looked into this myself....you may have to change your drive sprocket to 3/8....
  8. And a great company you have, thanks for the Brushcutter Jonsie:icon14:
  9. I meant a conventional back cut....also on Leylandii re-growth the stems are thin, spear cuts are good for these too (as taught on NPTC)
  10. if the stem is that thin then you can cut and hold, or cut and snap, if it is too heavy then you should be able to bore cut and leave a conventional horizontal hinge, I dont see any need for a downwards back-cut, it is bad practice
  11. I used to use a Spearhead long reach flail for the guy i worked for before going self employed, i once managed to get a whole chainlink fence (that was rolled up and grown over) wrapped around the drum!!! was a total nightmare, bolt croppers and wire cutters would do nothin as it was so tight...but the gas axe worked a treat!:wave:
  12. Hahaha i bet they were comfortable though....nothin like a stiff pair of new boots:wave:
  13. I have a HS80....and is still be bee's knees....will replace with an 81 when it goes though...shame they changed something so good to be honest
  14. nah...that'd fell nicely....a small gob an leave plenty of hinge
  15. why would you want a 346 with an 18" bar anyway...miles too big for it!!!
  16. and howabout the names of some of the hot lasses in the pics too!:wave:
  17. i had to have a black thorn cut out of my leg early last year...had gone through a nerve...i couldnt walk after a while.....bastard thing...even the hospital were shocked as to how deep it went!!
  18. I have a pair of Buckinghams too....i see that my forestry supplier sells a "bottom" for them so that the whole foot is taking the weight rather than just the instep....has anyone tried these...i'm thinking of getting some myself
  19. yeah...i found yellow pages was no good for me....and seemed to get a lot of time wasters....word of mouth is the best way...do a good job....priced corectly and make sure u clean up well (very important) and you will always have work....you will be surprised at the amount of people that will come and see you on a job and say "that looks nice...can you come and give me a quote..." i also think parish magazines are good, they are local and cheap.... but always remember word of mouth and recomendations:icon14:
  20. Ha ha...i look enough of a tit without wearing a skirt as it is:drunk:
  21. How much fun.....would be a good laugh to have a girl climber working for my firm......would give me a break....and also i think skirts should be made ppe:wave:
  22. I had a pair of mits...and wore them on my NPTC felling...the instructor threw them in the bin and said "silly boy":scared:
