Feckers. At least you're insured. I was thinking wether there was any way that saws could be made more obviously traceable at the manufacturing stage, or possibly when you buy parts you ave to give a serial number that is checked against a register of stolen saws. Then again I wonder how many saws Stihl and husky sell that are just replacements for nicked ones. It probably wouldn't be in their interest.

Where did they get them from, Garage?

beautiful. What stone is it?

I remember shooting pigeons with my brother, they were sitting in the trees so he let off a shot to set them up. A 4" limb dropped off an oak right between us!

Looks like fun Mike, did you fell that tree with a misplaced shot?

Cows are not killed for their leather, they are killed for the meat, if we all stopped using leather there would be just as many cows slaughtered as before. You can wear leather with a clear conscience, knowing that you are buying a product that would just be thrown away if it weren't needed.

No harm in learning a bit more relevant to the industry, doing some sort of college qualification part time can't do any harm. And it may lead you in a direction that you never expected.

If they are causing damage are you legally allowed to shoot them?

Buy a quality crank for your socket set, one with a bearings in the grips, you'll soon spin em off.

advice/help with ifor timber trailer and crane
Tom D replied to GreenCoToM's topic in Large equipment
I came very close to doing the same thing, my problem: I never want to lift timber. I have an alpine tractor and loader which is great but takes up all the room on the trailer so I have to leave it on site if I want to haul stuff away, this is fine on a week long job if there is somewhere to store it, but often that isn't the case. I have bought a valtra with roof mount, and that is fantastic but not worth taking out unless there is a lot of wood. I looked into the 3.5t crane trailer combo and eventually decided that a decent crane would eat up so much payload that it wouldn't be worth the effort. However I did see a scissor fold crane that folds flat like a hiab and thought about mounting it on the rear of a landy and having a toolbox in front. then you can tow whatever trailer you like.... Maybe I'll do it one day... -
Cleared up the two pines that hit a house today, a few pics...

I use sage, very good, it won't run on my new mac tho...
-
I would also try and stand it up a little prior to putting the gob in, the way you could allow it to fall to one side if you wished. I suspect the mistake he will make will be too weak a rope....
-
Great stuff! What time's kick off?
-
was it thrown or snapped?
-
If you can find a 385xp that is a great saw, I've had mine 8 years now, still runs sweet.. I wouldn't normally buy second hand, but if a decent 385 came up I'd have it.

There was quite a bit of damage, there was a balcony over the conservatory, the roof has been damaged and the balcony is pretty fecked, the conservatory is damaged too, the frame is bent.

That was before Andrew turned up with all the cones and stuff, that "cut" was pretty weird, the tree had just snapped off about a foot below ground, there was no roof flare whatsoever. I suspect due to the ground level being raised some years ago. Big tree, was probably 80 foot.
