Yeah, but you never got stuck in mud due to the chunk of tractor tyre welded to the bottom

Thats a mighty fine landy 130 you've got there pete:001_tongue: the ford doesn't look too bad either
-
Yeah just like the big clearing saw handles. I don't know about the electric start, i think it will probably be a stuck in the back pack models and not be found in any other models, nice concept though, saves taking off the back pack to start it up again but then i can be pain lazy when it comes to things like that:001_tongue:

If you were at the apf there was the new 'special accessory' for the backpack blowers esp the 600: a cowhorn handle. This is a godsend as the 600 will rip your arm out of its socket when you first use it if your not used to them. Even the guys on the stihl stand said you could tell the lads who used a 600 all day as their right forearms are about twice the size of their left forearms (slight exageration, but not by much). The 4mix engine is a lot quieter than a two stroke due to the lower engine tone and the fuel consumption is less than a two stroke, i filled mine to the brim on wednesday morning, still got half a tank after doing 3/4 acre of garden.

The dark grey gloves that nod at treeworker sells are great in the wet and keep your hands fairly warm. £5 a pair.

the husqvarna leather forestry boot is quite a comfy boot with plenty of support and a nice instep for spiking

you know you're old when: you wear your slippers to go to a friends birthday bash:sneaky2:

Just your colour, those slippers SWB. You could get frank to match a hair dye up for you:001_tongue:

Indeed you do sir. Sporting the latest fashion in west yorkshire; the freebie beanie with beard:001_tongue:

Mr Lofthouse found the perfect cure for the aforementioned affliction:scared1:

I can't help but think of the monty python song 'decomposing composers' which starts off with that piece.

NPTC LOLER Thorough Examination of Arboricultural Equipment
penfold replied to Sciadopitys's topic in General chat
Kev, did you get my PM re loler course at TU? -
Andy, i think i must be quite lucky in that my local is used by a lot of tradesmen including builders, electricians, plumbers, a decorator and three gardeners who all pop in for a couple after work and we all stay in the snug which has a tile floor and very hard wearing fabric on the seats. That and the fact that the landlord is a plumber doesn't harm and he's often sat in there with us often in a worse state than we are.

SWB, just unblock the worm hole, you'll be down here in a couple of parsecs:001_tongue: It'd be just like the kesslor run but quicker!
-
I watched it to the end just for the piece of Antinoni (I think) but the rest of it was just background really

MesterH, i'm not having a dig here but imo there is no such thing as a fully trained tree surgeon/arborist/whatever as there are always new techniques and methods to learn; i'm sure many would probably say the same thing in whatever industry.
-
I had the experience that SWB mentioned about a monster tree that i said i would take down for next to nothing and a few jars, won't be doing one that size without an experienced person to guide me again:scared1:. On the subject of birds and braces, over shoulders or hanging down at back?

There must be a worm hole between yorkshire and largs:alien:
-
My cones seem to teleport themselves into the back of my vehicle as i pass them and then teleport out again, god knows where to. Maybe SWB's yard.

why not have a word with the farmer , see if he'll come down with a loader then you can just lift the butt ends clear of the bank.
-
Is it just me or does this saw look like a copy of one of the echo saws?

6 month work placement needed around west yorkshire
penfold replied to Slinger's topic in Employment
Is he still doing stuff on his pole lathe? Is that horrible plastic tree still in the workshop? -
also you'd be down a chainsaw if anything went wrong with any of the others and a tirfor is quite a precision tool, you would be able to hold pieces in place whilst they were lifted to clear the bank.
