  1. steve, you should definatly come along mate last years show there was something for everyone, an amazingly friendly chilled out atmosphere, cracking deals, competitions-but without the ego's, demos, fire and most importantly freely flowing beer
  2. stick the tree next to the rock you brought home mate
  3. AWESOME stevie now go forth and pull something over just because you can
  4. he'll be back . . . i hope
  5. i dont think id have attempted it with a syc dean, if it was just the back lean then maybe, but not a side lean too-a touch too risky maybe! pulled it with the hiab lorry mark
  6. ok, i wussed out on this one and put a rope on it. . . well 2 actually as the previous tree (leaning into garden) the pull rope snapped:blushing: luckely on that one i had got a wedge in to hold it, and was able to tie the rope together for another pull, so lesson learnt, last tree in row of 7, not an ounce of weight going in direction of fell, leaning over neighbours garden, inc shed, greenhouse, partition wall, prob tall enough to clip house aswell if it went wrong! but it diddnt and we saved a load of time
  7. Tree Surgeon Insurance : Specialist Tree Surgeon Insurance and Arboriculture Insurance who advertise on here, are good and honest to what you need
  8. the tube which connects the carb to the piston could be perished/split, when you tilt saw, the split/perished bit opens/closes allowing air into the already mixed air/fuel combo. fidily but easy fix. mine split last week, i was able to see the split looking at the pipe through the gap between the bottem of air filter, and rear saw body
  9. cheers wizz, well near the end of the 1st one (hence the pic) some bloke started moaning about our signs and cones, so had to come down to sort them out but actual climbing time, the bigger one about an hour, smaller one 45min cheers steve, now is it topping, reduction, hacking or??? after a few threads on here im confused to what ive done groundy left the jocky wheel down whilst driving through the woods, over stumps, not noticing the thumping sounds or jerking ffs
  10. 10 week course covers alot of theory and gives you youre practicle tickets for climbing+a little climbing experience, tech cert after a couple of years once youve been round a tree seen all the defects/understand the tree from within the tree
  11. this mornings job, and lunch up the yard
  12. HAHA, Deans stripping, and bobs feeling horny
  13. if we felled and replanted all trees instead of reductions, we would loose a hell of alot of large, irreplaceable structures across the towns and cities, and would be left with a load of freshly staked 10foot trees that probabally wont reach 40years. sometimes imo its best to reduce trees if purely to leave the only 5ft diameter trunk for miles arround, just so someone can look at that girth and ask themselves 'what has that tree seen' and hey if a tree needs reducing on a regular cycle, why not, its money in an arbs pocket, food for their children, and a piece of furniture on the landscape. cost isnt a great deal compared to what would be lost-reduce a veteran oak/lime/beech ect once every 5 year? £500 a time? 2k for 20 extra years, 5k for 50 extra years of a beautifull sized tree has to be worth it-how much more co2 will that reduced tree soak up than a sapling? how many extra birds, insects, fungi will live off that tree compared to a sapling? nice work hama and walnuts can be pollarded:001_tongue:
  14. well mine was the blue and green model, i had it when it first came out as my boss at the time had links to the guy that designed or tested them, something like that. when we were informed about the bridge recall, when i checked my bridge by sliding back the sheath thing that covers the bridge from wear, (and easy visible inspection) the bridge webbing had seperated by approx 10mm, with just the stitching threads holding it together (just)
  15. good job you diddnt have one of the early ones with the faulty stitching on the bridge mesterh, youd have crusified it even more!! mine had the bridge and shackel recall just in time-tineyst bit of shock loading and it would have failed its an ok harness . . . as a spare
  16. look at bottem on questions, buy it now 3k 2005 HONDA trx 500 foreman on eBay (end time 21-Mar-10 20:10:00 GMT) ive had the 350, 450 and 550, awesome quads
  17. cool pics steve, playing with nearly all youre toys there
  18. well i rang hmrc, one girl was really nice and understanding, although all she done was give me another number to ring, rang that number, and the next girl was about as helpfull as an alcholic limbless groundie with an attitude problem steve i'll regester online now, but a chat with an accountant would be great, cheers mate
  19. cheers for the info boys:) i'll just give them a buzz in the morning, i do like the sound of claiming back expense, as i guess if i claim enough back it would over run from self emloyed tax contributions to the employed tax, (expences would count against both incomes?) giving me a rebate at the end of the year??? i'll have a look for their number and see what they say thanks!
  20. im on the books 5 days a week, but need to be registered self employed at the same time for a diffrent income, anyone know if this is possible, and disadvantages, things to look out for, and what i have to do? cheers
