  1. Looking at getting into the kindling game out here in Northern Ireland. Doesn't seem to be anyone using the Kindlet out here, only seen them for sale brand new and obviously paying out full price throws me in at the deep end. Seen the odd mains powered one down in the Republic that have already sold. Anyone know of anyone hiring out here or any second hand ones? Also any advice from the experienced kindlers out there.
  2. I work as a utility climber full time, makes you wonder when a wayleaver has put a BT line down as a 40kv conductor :{
  3. Live zones LV 0.8m upto 33kv 0.8m 110kv 1.2m 275kv 2.4m Vicinity Zones up to 33kv 2.0m 110kv 3.0m 275kv 3.5m
  4. I manged to put my silky into my left wrist after trying to cut and pull a branch off a powerline. Luckly it was a vein I hit, as the amount of blood worried me slightly! I've never got out of an ivy covered ash tree as fast as I did that day!
  5. I haven't taken it apart yet but the engine doesn't turn over, the pull cord doesn't "pull". Me thinks something has seized, i'll see if i have time over the weekend to pull it apart. Whats the worst case, new piston and "engine like" bits? Not to clued up on the inners of a saw!
  6. Hi everyone, I've killed my 200t on a job the other weekend. I stupidly placed it on a stump while it was running and it vibrated off and into a stream. Being submerged didn't agree with it and it seized Looking for a cheap engine, as my local chainsaw place was trying to charge me £250 for a new engine. Only paid £200 for the saw in the first place. Any ideas or advice feel free to post away!
  7. photoshop, then you can cut around your tree, paste it onto your photo of a garden. Then using the history brush you can rub round the edges which blends the pasted image into the background perfectly. A silly example
  8. We got issued the big green husky kit bags through arb ireland. They do the job nicely, pretty tough too!
  9. Yeah Ian i'll get it out this weekend and see how it compares in the trees. Just looking at both the sal and gecko and I can't see any major differences in feel etc.
  10. Most of us at work climb on gecko as that's what the company supplies. I get on with it fine so no negative points on it from me.
  11. I got one, haven't really used it. Got given it so it's a spare. I must try it out!
  12. Remember if it's not raining it's not training! Well that's what we were told in the forces. Oh and "pain is temporary, pride is forever" "Better to sweat in training than bleed in battle" I could go on........but i won't. I don't need to train being a machine, just changed the oil and check the fuses once in a while. lol
  13. great thanks, i'll give the shop a ring tomorrow
  14. Hey Jonsie, what's the damage on a hitch climber sent to northern ireland. I don't need it next day so just the cheapest way as N.I. is more expensive to send to.Cheers!
