    If any climbers wish to escape post brexit Britain and settle in France, you might do well to consider commuting distance from Rennes in the East of Brittany. If you have family with you it helps alot as you find your feet and integrate especially those with young children who easily enter into French life, soaking up the language within weeks of arrival. As I wrote before, single males tend to get bored and lonely quickly here. I'm not offering a salaried position but I've plenty of work for a younger productive climber who wishes to carve himself a slice of French living. Stuart

    I can honestly say that your experience does not match mine having fed a CS100 for around 350hrs. Stuart

    I rely heavily on 'Wood Pickers' Today, I had a couple approach me as I was sizing up a 7 Lombardy removal and offer to take the wood! I wish there was a similar demand for rakings... Stuart

    'Tradegie des Arbres'. As we say with a Gallic shrug... Stuart

    I've just installed 120m of chestnut post and rail from McVeigh Parker which was shipped out to Brittany. It was pretty rough, twisted and 'shaggy' and yes some rails required fettling but the client is over the moon with the effect. Stuart

    Well, until Scott McMillan loses his arm to his Bugnot I guess we must continue to endure his smug self satisfied posts of this infernal anathema device of his, that wee tracked Bugnot. Stuart 'lol!'

    Apologies for the delay, here: https://qrmslimited.com/forestry-machinery/

    I found the key holes in the pockets wore making removal tough going. I bought my spares from Global at the time. I now buy after market teeth made from hardened chinesium... Stuart

    I can't see it. Would you like a dick pic instead? Not mine, maybe one from Mark Bolams library. Stuart

    I've employed a few Brit climbers here in Brittany. From experience, I would not recommend France. Language, employment laws, lack of inexpensive furnished accomodation, lack of rural pub culture and prudish nature of French girls makes for a lonely life for an itinerant single male. Stick to Germany. How about contacting Eduard Pap via FB? Stuart

    Strange thing is, no matter how 'quiet' the phone is, I am always 'in' work, never without. Never had a truly dry diary in front of me since I moved to Rennes in 2010 Lead times might get down to a week or so at times. These days, if I ever have a 1 week lead time again, I'd be gratefull for the chance of a rest. Stuart

    Tachometer too. Stuart

    @Pete B I think the CS100 could benefit from a few changes. Chute which pivots, optional chute extension, optional electric drive to wheels, optional tow bar for garden tractors... Add on sales. Stuart

    I use a bulldog hitchlock plus an Abus high security cycle U lock threaded through the holes in the wheel over the axle. If I leave the chipper attached to the truck whilst working or at lunch, I have a 'tres cher' chain and lock bought from a security specialist that goes through the A frame and tow bar mount. Stuart

    I thought Napoleon planted plane trees to shade his troops. You can cycle for many kms shaded by huge planes in the centre south. Stuart

    How did you find they drive loaded having a single tyre opposed to double? Stuart

    Just a heads up that my local dealer has 3 of these in stock. I recall this model having a bit of a following. Stuart

    Mine is pretty sticky when filling up but fine going down. Stuart

    *Sigh*... I gleaned all around the trees we where working. I moved a stack of electric fence supports and rebar well away from the area. How the new groundy (on trial) didn't know the difference between a length of rebar and an oak branch is beyond me. It wasn't an electric fence support, that would have been very bad news I am sure. Happened once before in 2012 with the quadchip, shattering the blades that time. Straight dry skinny laurel branches piled on top of a stack of rebar used as plant supports. No other damage this time, just turned the blades a third and away we go. Stuart

    There is a FB group called 'nests not netting' from which every tree surgeon so far (my turn tonight) has been banned. Stuart

    Feck Bolam, I thought this was a serious thread about travel advice... Stuart

    Tmech, Lumag, Hyundai, are all much the same machine. Stuart
  24. Ty Korrigan
    A vile and expensive waste of money. A used FSI B20 can be picked up for that and is a far far better proposition. I tried out a Lumag type grinder, how anyone makes money from such a machine is beyond me. Stuart

    Looks can be decieving. This is an 8t Nissan. I keep telling Jerome, get some proper sides made up and the logs can go on top... Stuart
