Oooops sorry if I caused some confusion. At least you know how to do both jobs now. Plus, put your hand/thumb over the circlip when prising it off in case it springs out never to be seen again!

I use an impact driver but I won't recommend it as some recon it can snap the crank! Use the plastic tool you get with the saw that goes into the spark plug hole to lock the crank. Don't forget the nut is a left hand thread, turn clockwise to loosen. You can put starter cord down the plug hole to also lock the crank our a rag, you just have to make sure you don't jam it in one of the ports and damage the piston rings or slice bits off when undoing the nut.

Surgely it all depends on what the company classes as a near miss. I am always interested in how accidents really happen and do think it is very important to inform when very serious near misses with a high potential for injury happen. A mate of mine who works in a different industry although is supposed to report on any near misses that happen on the way to work ie someone nearly pulls out in front of you then stops at the very last second while driving!

I heard that the problem was the head gasket going , letting water in that then hydrauliced the engine, bent con rod etc. Is that the case or is it something different?
-
Surely theres a big difference if its seasoned in round lengths or split. In the former there wouldnt be much difference in weight or moisture content I would expect.

Aye it is fair depressing when you think of the living and working conditions those people have to put up with. Best to just look at the comedy factor really:laugh1: On a positive note it was taken from an article discussing the value of Earth's biomes. ATM they rate rain forest as $91-£23,000 per hectare per year key value being climate regulation, gene banks(for medicinal plants etc.) and erosion prevention.

Excellent stuff. Good to see a bit of an experiment going on rather than a bit of speculation. In response to previous posts... With regards to leaving a stub, how long do we think that we have to wait after leaving a stub to then NTP it? I also assume it is very dependent on species since what is the best course of action if the stub starts to resprout?

Close call indeed! I assume you amended the RA after that near miss?
-
I sort of remember something like 3 chains to a sprocket and 3 sprockets to a bar as a guidance they mentioned in college, was awhile ago though. Also thinking it is a load of balony, as most of my bars are the same, ie years old and hardly any paint on.
-
I'd say you just flooded it on Sunday and it was ok by Tuesday and the WD40 did nothing, well except make it smoke. Usually its a bit of easy start thats gets sprayed into non starting engines, never tried it with a chainsaw though!
-
Have a blade that is a + shape so you can quarter logs rather than just half them. Ideally the blades can be interchanged as the + wont be suitable for all logs. I prefer horizontal splitters too, just seem easier to use to me.
-
Plus anti fling doesnt seem to be any better than just normal engine oil to me. Anyone remember how many chains your supposed to get out of a bar before you change it?
-
I would say the big con is productivity. I guess using an axe isn't anymore s:thumbup1:kilful than using a chainsaw, its just a diffent skill. Is great the oldpics in the days of dropping big trees with an axe.
-
Ive done a few removals and UP TO NOW everyone has gone better than planned. Deffo get a nice wallpaper stripper. I wouldnt agree with the above on killing it then removing it tbh only because I have tried to remove old dead ivy and it was a lot more difficult. You could just price in a MEWP then if they are getting a few quotes you will prob be the highest and not get the job.

Advice needed!Very akward, arrogant boss!!!!

Do you mean to get written permission from the TO that there is no tpo on the trees? If so thats surely a waste of there time and paper! Besides what if a tpo is put in the tree in the mean time. So its best to call just before doing the job, then what If I dont believe them or its a mix up. No wonder some firms dont bother and just sneak on with it. -

How good an example is all of the above to show that we should all have quick and easy access to a database off tpo'd trees on the Internet. A quick call to the TO to find out isn't always that quick, especially when you have to wait 48 hours sometimes for them to get back to you. Finding out if a tree is tpo'd should be a quick and easy task, after all we are trying to be the good guys so let's make it nice and easy. -
Sounds good

Pfffttt, of course... everything causes cancer. ( I should never have said that, I expect to be dead this time next year) Hope its a year with more sun than rain though:thumbup1:

Only problem is you will never achieve any form of sarcasm with a well placed smile.

Conifer aphid maybe? Well looks like to me. Are there swarms of the little fellas when you prune the hedge?
-
Isnt used veg oil carcinogenic? Thats why you have to change it more often than if you you use lard!! [ATTACH]49198[/ATTACH]

..to buy a dodgy meter. I think you cant really get any lower than 15% unless its kiln dried, theres a lot of moisture in the air, especially in the UK!

I just pay the extra for their insurance, I very much doubt mine would cover it. An if a crane job goes wrong, it goes wrong BIG TIME!!

I assume you are employed by him if so its has neck/company on the line in regards to any fines etc not yours. As above in regards to be careful what you say IF you want to keep your job, if not look elsewhere for work.
