  1. Really? I have chipped loads of laurel and always have a sneaky wee in the back of the van. Never noticed any adverse effects tbh. Although I do now have a 12 inch ****
  2. If people cba to go and get their tickets then I cba employing them. If their any good they will pass no problem at all. I dunno 15 years ago there were still plenty going to college like me so no different imo.
  3. I wonder how fine the line was between, "What a ballsy great job he did" to (in the blooper section) "OMG! what an idiot, you could just tell that was gonna crack back and land on the line!" Worked well though so a
  4. Oh I've checked and the answer is no btw.
  5. Will that check out the roots?
  6. I dunno maybe 10. I do know that everyone had merrip. Prune, reduce, thin do whatever you like but if it was my house with my kids and my wife I know what I would do. What would be it's lifespan after a good bit of hacking to make it 'safe'? Fell and replant, lifes too short.
  7. If its leaning towards the house I know what I would recommend. Seen plenty of merrip beech's on the floor with the root plate sticking out of the ground.
  8. Entropy, now this is getting more interesting From what I can see life spends lots and lots and lots of energy creating order from chaos. Therefore the opposite of entropy. Very poorly put across by me of course.
  9. Nice and shiny but the cabs dont half look small to me! Wouldnt wanna sit in there at dinner time when its peeing it down. I'm only jealous because I'll never get one!
  10. I'll hazard at a guess, the cable.
  11. Dont forget it depends on what truck your using and what license. No good having a heavy schliesing when you cant tow it. Another reason why the little TW150 do so well.
  12. I'm surprised the four of you can stand living in such a poky little place!!!
  13. I'd move a couple of dog eggs with the shovel but long grass and lots of bangers is a job for someone else. Unless I've got silly money on the job.
  14. Looks like there is hardly anyone using them, which can't be a good thing! Would also be interested in any info as I have also ben thinking for years about changing the setup on my 252, I always just end up buying more pro teeth though.
  15. Looks really good that. I can feel my shoulders aching and muscles twitching just looking at that.
  16. Cheers for the help and info. I have no artistic skill so I will just have to resort to nicking others ideas.
  17. Yes..
  18. Thieving rats!!!
  19. The saws just get a right good hammering, as they should they are supposed to be pro gear. The prob I have is that they used to be fine but they changed it for the worst. The ms220T is still a great saw and atm I wouldnt swap it for anything else.
  20. That's just a get out clause since it didn't happen with the old style handle Surely you could get some duct tape on there ti do a good bodge job.
  21. I know what you mean mate but I don't do that very often. Its to do with the poor construction I think.
  22. Didnt know that! Good bit of info cheers.
  23. Thats the one well in.
  24. Just a thought from another thread. Although I think H&S may slowly be killing our's and other industries as in it is and will get harder to actually do any work due to the amount of checks, paper work and rules and regs to stick to. Now, since H&S has increased the amount of work due to everyone(ok not everyone but more than there used to be) being scared about something happening and being sued because someone tripped of a twig 'that shouldnt have been there' ... Ha, just realised I have no point in this thread or real argument about anything suppose I should delete it but since I've made this much effort I think I'll just post it anyway.
  25. Cheers for the reply and info. Good old H&S, keeps us in a bit of work though. Hmmm actually that gives me an idea for a thread.
