  1. cheers stevie thats appreciated but the airport here in bergen has grounded its departing flights, which may start again tommorrow, just have to wait and see, if not it may mean taking a buss train combo tommorrow if not too hungover, or flying later in the week as they will have to honor the flights, and do a few more days with mike either way im not too fussed what happens! have fun at the show mate,and the road trip down!
  2. mines the same as STS, and like his, its got an angle iorn frame holding it up, but mines 200tdi
  3. supposed to be flying from norway to sweden tommorrow, but looks doubtfull, ah well!
  4. nice one mate, nice deere too! who felled?
  5. i think me and you are going to be the only people NOT going mate Nevermind mate, apf, josh & mozz forestry Haha
  6. moving to sweden for a bit, the commute might make it a touch expensive:001_smile: the new 675 daytona's do look a very very nice bike, pics please i test rode the street triple r last summer (same engine/basics as the daytona), may have been out longer than allowed:blushing: but it was a cracking bike then again, 7th of june day would lead nicely on to the AA fair on the 11th/12th which i should be comming back for . . . . .
  7. if i wasnt moving, id definatly be up for that! sold my speed trip earlier this year, been looking at the new ones recently
  8. when i done my tractor ticket 5-6 years ago, we were taught how to enter the cab in the correct mannor by using the steps and rails, doing it incorrectly was a fail
  9. Haha, wait untill nifty steve finds this thread, his mog is definatly not used for light duties! it gets worked hard! pics steve, pics!
  10. you have good taste my man, i put that ad up on my face book a few weeks back! great minds liam, great minds
  11. its simple, no matter what youre age, if you work hard, are good at what you do, and a model employee, you WILL get work, people WILL want to employ you, and you WILL be paid accordingly. mick, i think the problem is that there are hundreds of young guys who want to be a tree surgeon, but have never even seen a saw or done any hard work, they then go through college, which is at a nice slow steady pace, get given a trial with blokes like you, and suddenly 9/10 of them realise its a bloody hard industry to labour in, let alone be skillfull. imo out of 20 college leavers, 2 or 3 will be capable of working hard, and maybe only 1 will be skillfull and hard working enough to be capable of being a decent tree guy, the other 17 will try, fail, cry, blame everyone else, work in tesco's.
  12. thats fantastic mate!
  13. 90 quid
  14. 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

  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. Tree Surgeon Insurance : Specialist Tree Surgeon Insurance and Arboriculture Insurance who advertise on here, are good and honest to what you need
  23. 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
  24. 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
