Great service from Mr Patel's news emporium.
Mesterh replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in General chat
Your telling me that you went out and just bought a mars bar without running a couple of polls asking which is the best handy sized chocolate snack and where to buy it from? Madness! -
Well there's something I didn't know! Thanks for the info:thumbup1:

Seems to be lots if threads about waterproof jackets atm. I remember watching a program called tomorrow's world. They had this magical material called goretex that repelled water but allowed sweat out! Surely someone can make a jacket out of it, it's hardly rocket science, or is it!

Have done it for years and has never caused a problem. If it did cause a problem you would see a lot more knackered machines about.

That stuff sinks! We just use whatever oil is easiest to get eh.

I just can't see the logic in that at all. Good on him for making a successful business, but as for not spending the money! No problem in running old equipment if you look after it and it is still economical compared to the cost of something new. I would rather have the cash than invest it in the business if I can help it as long as the business and me isn't suffering for it.

If your worried about your zigzag do as I've been doing lately, back it up with a prussik. You have all the efficiency of the zz and the safe and reliability of a prussik. that way when your zz finally implodes as they all do the good old prussik will still be there to save the day. Added bonus that using two climbing systems makes you twice as fast.

I've got to agree with that, plus the comment about the bow saw v chainsaw.

I'm thinking, Ron Jeremy's stunt cock. But yeah, balancing on half dead connies blows that out of the water every day of the week.

If you have no luck getting them repaired could be worth trying some of the grab adhesives a go. The ones you load into a gun, like silicone seal but a hundred times stronger. They flex and stick to almost anything. I think it's evostick that do one in a silver tube, ultimate grab or something. Less than a tenner and handy to have knocking about as you will only use a tiny bit.

I was thinking more along the lines of chippers tipping up backwards(had it happen when we have had to chip unhitched, can be quite dangerous, the grief of fitting or using stabilisers) jockey wheels rattling about and dropping, having to chock wheels on slopes etc. But, your probably right, I would be the one constantly driving off, forgetting to plug the electrics back in:laugh1:
-
I've never noticed it personally. Worked for a few firms over the years and no one has bothered to unhitch. Although for the price of a gas strut against the hassle of unhitching the chipper all the time I know what I would do. I would have thought speed bumps would be more of a culprit.
-
That has to be worth something. Getting customers is the most important thing imo.
-
Don't worry, you haven't upset me. I just couldn't believe anyone would be so stupid as to make a comment like that.
-
You really are clueless. I don't think anyone will be impressed with your little quip.
-
What a silly thing to say. So no one can express an opinion without acting upon it? Right then, I'm off to chop the hands of some thieves while you go and round up all the job robbing, wife eating, dog raping immigrants and kick them out of the country. Btw, just saw your last post, very bad taste.
-
What do you expect them to wear? Sack cloths and bark for shoes! There are tribes in the unknown forest of Congo, never touched by western man who have managed to get hold of man United shirts and reebok classics. Of course they are not just goat herding folk. Some if these foreigners do know how to read and write, and perform brain surgery and run a power station and be the director of a national business and cut trees and drop timber. I would rather help some of these people out than the fast majority of lazy good for nothing's who where born and bred in the UK who do sit on the sofa watching dvds while I go out and earn their keep.
-
I very much doubt that those people putting their children on those boats are doing it because they think they will get a better life. They are doing it because they are desperate and have no other option. It shows how terrible it must be where they live and how lucky we are to be born in the UK.

Take some pictures of the bar, chain and the crank case where the bar mounts. Otherwise give up.

Parish council agree to fell tree - how to stop?
Mesterh replied to Two Acres's topic in Trees and the Law
probably waiting for the tree team to cut a big hole in it first, that or fell it. I jest not. Have you any up to date pics yet showing the health of the tree? -
I am not being condescending here but it sounds like either the chain is blunt/badly sharpened, worn bar or the bar chain combo is wrong. If there is oil pumping out a steady stream from the oil channel when the sprocket cover is removed then it's your cutting equipment that's at fault. Failing all that strip the covers down to the oil pump and check for splits in the oil pipe.
-
Ha, heaven forbid someone should charge more! Are you always the cheapest when you quote for a job so you don't take the piss out of your customer? I bet loads of people have called me a thief because I won't cut their tree down for the lowest price.
-
I would say blame the dealer rather than an entire company! Having a word with the dealer or stihl might help things.

Gandalf should have given the one ring to one of the lads that works for us and said" Trust this with your life and don't take your eyes of it." Within 5 minutes he would have lost it, never to be seen by man nor beast again. I liked the film's but loved the books, Peter Jackson should have just stuck to the books and not messed about with the story at all.

Why is anyone complaining? Surely they all have beautiful trees like that right next to their house. Sorry but I hate the fact that others can force an issue on someone else when they don't have to deal with the consequences. Think about it, it's highly immoral.
