sawdust: i want youre landrover andy: too right! the scenery 'reveals' its-self more in summer doug: lol, but why cut a nice job short and miss out on food??? apbell:might just randomly turn up one lunch time saying we're working in the grounds somewhere!

first bigish job of the year, kicks off with a bacon and egg bagguette to die for and cuppa tea from a roadside van get to job in grounds of ely cathedral by half 8ish, crisp winters morning, 2 nice big chestnuts i surveyed a while back, old pollards, big regrowth stems, clear underneath, spikety spike, crash bash, repeat . . a helmet cam would have been ace for felling the tops out farmer/pub owner comes along, wants all the big wood comes back with teleporter and big grain trailer, pays us a bit of £££ another bloke turns up, pays us more £££ for smaller bits nock the first ones brush off and down the tree at 10 am break time precisley, go get a huge breakfast bap and cuppa tea from cafe, finish docky, up the next one whilst lads are chipping the first still, spikety spike crash bash repeat done in half hour, cuppa tea, back up the first to get lump wood down, the cathedrals 6th form school dinner ladys take pity on us outside, ask if we want some hot food... silly woman OF COURSE!!! 3 course posh school meal and more tea back to work and local paper turns up takes loads of pics, story of high profile trees in next weeks paper. load the first ones cord straight into farmers trailer, fell the stem, more pics taken, pose a bit load hiab up, go to farmers tip wood, new tip site always good home check emails, won a tenner on lotto some pics starting from initial inspection to felled first stem 3rd to last pic, stem still standing, the saw propped up against stem is a 660 with 30" bar for refrence bact tommorow to fell remaining stem, shift wood and grind roots out. . . with another 3 course dinner with the 6th form girls, ho hum

MS660 is a brilliant saw. i run a 30"bar most of the time no probs, never had a problem with it, tbh wouldnt consider a different saw, light enough to use in the tree for long stints, plenty of power faultless. only thing i would like is new style fuel/oil caps but thats only for looks! King of saws!

two stroke super charged detroit diesel engine if only . . .

justin, when we speak tommorrow about the saws order, remind me about it

not worried mate, im having 1st this year micks welcome to my old 4th place slot if he wants to be a good sport and let steve n rich take a podium spot

where in south lincolnshire?

come on then, who's who

i think an 18 stoner ldv project would be better rupe. be easier for sure than stripping off a box only to make a lighter box.

looks heavy!

amazing, bit ironic that theres all these new fancy materials and compounds, yet the humble tree is near perfect. atleast we've now got a new wood dump

sunbed in the kitchen?
