    Heated up linseed oil and lemon oil,the timber sucks it up and brings out the grain colors without leaving a varnish like layer On the surface.

    245 but failing being able to find 1 settle for a 560xpg mad fast On a 13" bar or a powerhouse with a 20" bar.

    Try looking up Mark bell.

    Where exactly are you and how far are you willing to travel, might help a few take note of your cv. Sounds like you are taking the right steps in getting into the industry,

    Just leave the timber at the side of the road, woodpixys will have it away. The chip just try a few local farms and use the magic word, free! Or if your stuck come north a bit and I can loos it for you.

    Most expensive tracked barrow ever! Good idea up give your that but a wheely bin is still my favorite.

    That looks expensive Pete! I got a 20 ton stubby jack that has tipped some bit poles for me no problem. Was thinking about this today and wounded if any1 has had a go uesing a jack up a tree to tip sections off?!

    That I fully agree with skyhuck, if I didn't climb I'd be twice my current size and even more grumpy, better than any gym workout and more therapeutic as you actually have to think not just do! Knees still don't like long periods On spikes holding a big saw anymore but that's from rigging gon wrong smashing my knee cap in two. I pay £120 a day for a 12 m tracked Platform delived to site so if I have a few trees on the same site or close by il climb and strip to poles and use the Mewp for the last heavy timber if no room to fell.

    Treat Your groundsman to a rc3001 because if he is that smooth on a porterap he will be a machine On a fixt bollard, best bit of rigging Kit I've ever spent money on!
  14. Gray git
    Fixed that for you;)

    If you find something Chris and need another bod too make up numbers I'd be keen to jump in and use it as a refresher and could prob sort a venue near me if stuck.

    I love getting a Mewp in on big stems that need rigging or ringing down as standing onspikes with a big saw hurts my knees too much these days and ima is much quicker to set the ropes and much safer as you can swing out of the way and let ground staff pull the chunk off. The thing people struggle with when using Mewp is not getting one that can reach everything from a safe set-up point so take risks cutting larger than normal bits. Anyone who hates then hasn't done much Highways statutory clearance work as miles of lifting every tree to just a bit more than a polesaw can reach is tedious and a genie rough terrain boom makes life so much more efficient. Climbing still has its place and always will, crown thins and cleans in particular and dismantling with limited drop zones will always be the place to have a good swing about.

    Wasn't ment to come across as having a pop, what you just described is exactly how I role, same pulley's also. Just couldn't see that in the vid sorry. What do you use as friction On the ground?
  18. Gray git
    Got a MSR one for fuel and a cheep mountainwherhouse one for oil and used them on Friday On a large Mewp dismantling job, so handy to have a fill with you as the saw always runs out when at full reach or in a position that took ages to get into!

    I know this thred was 550 orientated but I'd mentioned my 560 problems, well New pot and piston fitted, ran like a pile of poo, back in plunged into computer and at full rpm the comp said tickover and when ticking over comp said running rich then wouldn't return to tickover then wouldn't reach full rpm. Now had new carb and all electrical bits replaced, still won't run right so at last huskvarna have said enough is enough it's a dead loss saw so off to pick up a new replacement one from dealer next week. So now I have two as bought another while all the fixing was going on as could not cope being without my main groundsaw.

    I like the 2nd pick treewizard

    Which town? I'm on my way to help outhers stop falling pray to this horrific crime by allowing myself to become a victim.
  22. Gray git
    Fired up the pc to do some invoicing and got sidetracked watching yours and outher vids, bang a whole hour disappears.. Good vid and cool tunes, the only thing I'd say is I'd have put the bigger cast rigging block in sooner for topping out instead of a swing cheek pulley as these don't like shock loading no matter how good Your groundsman is at letting stuff run. Fair heap of timber on the deck, all 1 tree?
  23. Gray git
    Always a little bit of a dampener when wheels start falling off! Basicaly a kia by a different name according to anouther garage we spoke too and of a reasnably high interia speck and a manual gear box as a lot seem to be auto's.
  24. Gray git
    Well off to look at a hyundi santerfay (might be spelt right, might not be) tomorrow. Wife thinks it fills all her speck.. and its blue.... will report back tomorrow after i have driven it and we have put the car seats in it and squeezed my bum imbertween.
