    www.franglaiselagage.com Any good? Stuart

    Hello, my issues stem from the Aspen bio oil which is excellent on the smaller guide bars but not so effective in the longer ones it being a very light oil. I continue to use Aspen for every saw except bars 63cm and over. I've also not entirely ruled out a newish but rogue chain as a factor. To make certain I also ditched all previous 63cm chains for new. Following Rob's advice I am more than ever pro-active with regular sprocket changes. As ever, these pages are an invaluable source of info. Stuart

    I call the 'Web masters' because it is all a dark art to me. Stuart

    Why? It is simply a record of our previous work. I don't blog, I'm neither confident enough to commit myself to blogging nor sufficiently wordy nor needy enough for the work a blog might generate to write a blog in the first place. I had one web master who said people don't linger on pages long enough to read shit and another told me to write several 1000 word essays on my work. I simply refer clients to FB saying "look at June 2020, we did a similar job to yours or August 2019 3 birches pruned, this is what I can deliver" Stuart

    I stopped sharing my business page to FB groups because there seems to be an expectation of 'low cost' tree work. I win more quotes at a greater margin if the client comes from other sources. I use the FB page as a shop window, refering potential clients to it. FB is good for shifting wood and chip though. Stuart

    Hello, The clutch in my FSI B20 has given up. I can still grind but no longer have the safety of a clutch to stop the wheel. A quick Google and I came up with this: Yeh yeh I know it is in foreign but it is a Brit company with an E.U arm. Does this look to be the right thing to anyone with a more experienced eye than I...? Spectrum Plant for example want around £360 for a 'genuine' part plus the Mc****************ery of posting to the E.U Cheers.

    Must be work done by a cousin of the same French caravan club member. I seriously think that people have too much unspent money and are making rash decisions about having work as well, not looking into matters sufficiently and accepting the first price which is often proposed by a door knocker flyer dropper fella or by those furloughed members of family. I have recently seen several of my regular hedges 'done' by others less competant hands as well as being called in to finish jobs started which I always refuse. Stuart

    When I was young and single, I was deeply into the folk scene and attended every ceilidh, barn dance and concert I could. Anyone listen to Wolfstone? Stuart

    One of my subbies did it. We used to drop him off miles from the yard after work and he'd run home. Stuart

    I find it bizzare that people will spend on smart cars, driveways, fencing, chique garden ornaments but tolerate this level of work on a tree in front of their 'residence' which looked perfectly fine. This is in Betton, a well heeled town North of Rennes. The whole street bore the scars of lockdown tree rape. Stuart

    I got the Extreme for Winter use, incredibly tough. Only hole is from an exhaust. PPS make a non-saw pant version of them for general work. Stuart

    These: PSS X-treme Light pantalon anti-coupures | KOX SARL M.KOX24.FR Pantalon anti-coupures X-treme Light : extrêmement léger, respirant... I've never got on well with saw pants in temperatures over 18c until I tried these. Huge rear zips and light fabrics. I have just had a local seamstress make good some tears so they will see another season. Stuart

    15m3 of Lombardy with a CS100. It would be improved with an optional chute extension for chipping into a truck plus a swiveling top. Stuart

    There is never a good moment for your main chipper to 'tombe en panne' as we say here. Luckily, both my regular climbers own a CS100 and so Good Friday saw 15 Lombardy poplars put through Jerome Ferre's machine. An opportunity to measure the real time 'rendement' or productivity of the famous wee chippette. 6m cube per hour, 2 guys feeding. Pretty intense work and the 15m cube total produced will all be used by the client as mulch. I must admit, this morning I saw what was before me and thought "f**k my life"... Stuart

    The school caretaker undone my work with a polesaw. He clearly resented having others on his site. "Trees like being cut" mentality... Stuart

    I've been on a job with 'no clear up', crown raising, deadwooding, storm damage and made such good progress that the quote now looks a bit cheeky. Well, if it had rained we'd be much slower of course. The client, keen to participate, time on his hands, beavering away with a Bosch electric chipper, achieving in a day what 5 mins with a 6" would. He's now fagged out so tomorrow out of goodwill I'll bring in the GM and let him feed it whilst I drink his coffee. I've also lent him Mrs Lee's battery Stihl for his stick fetish. I didn't drop the price initially for no chipping because stacking is an arse and harvesting wee sticks for kindling a costly affair. Across the way a 12" Bandit roared on and off all day long. A site clearance, house and trees to be razed for another cluster of wee building plots where the only trees will be fashionable olives. Stuart

    Is this about your own dental records?

    A question for those in the know. Is the 3.5t a downrated 5.5t? Stuart

    What is the typical price difference between machines with the 50hp deezle and 57hp petrol? Stuart
  24. Ty Korrigan
    Hello, from experience the 37hp Efi is 4.5 litres per hour so pro-rata a 57hp Efi should be around 7 litres per hour. Stuart
