  1. sorry i havnt got back to you powcaddy, mates nivara is 2.5K high mileage but tidy condition. if i were buying a crewcab, id go for one where someones brought it to get the lifestyle-inner city muppet! go for one without a towbar, and get one fitted myself-that way you know it hasnt been used to pull heavy trailers for possibly, every mile of its life!
  2. stupid question, but were the poplar stumps poisoned dean?
  3. hi jonsie, any chance i can order the 45m marlow gecko rope from your specials post?

  4. i hate wearing gloves with a passion! i like to be able to feel what im doing, when climbing i trust every bit of kit so much that i never think about something going wrong-as do most climbers, but i never trust my gloves! just cant get my head round it!
  5. its at hinchinbrooke (spelling) at the 6th form college(near the hospital) theres a few big cedars visible from the road-that being the closest. would love to take it down when its times up
  6. droooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll nice one giles!
  7. howd you know my plans?! some trees are like ladders-a 6yr old wouldnt hesitate free climbing!
  8. thats alright mate, cedar had lost a big limb, i went to clear and tidy the rip, 1x box lorry of chip, 2x box lorry of cord! back to the thread! FREE CLIMB to the top!!!!
  9. when on monster trees, when spikes arnt allowed, and the next anchor point is to awkward to get your rope round, pull a ladder up!
  10. found that huskys require more maintenance than stihls to keep them in good condition-my 200t will start on one pull on the choke, if im quick, i can flick it to half throttle and it'll run from that same pull!
  11. along those lines: i havent cut your eletric lines have i??? no dear phew, the kettle still works then! customer-'howd you take your tea?' with a slice of cake and a bacon sarnie:D
  12. great short term solution, to be worthwhile around %20 plus, then state future management-thin and/or reduce re growth enjoyable work
  13. use eletrical tape instead of shrink wrap for cobra bracing
  14. as above for flipping butts, cutting notches for friction saver plus over roofs-hold, slowly cut to gently rest on roof, sever, lift off roof on SMALL bits I.E tip end reduction, with no free drop zone (flower beds?!), lower off your harness:ohmy: when felling/using felling cuts, turn the wood/branch by cutting one side of the hinge more than the other thinking. . . .
  15. locking caps are evilllll! works just got me a new 660 with 30"bar, and its bloody fantastic! best big saw ive used-better than the huskys we got of the same size, and more useable than an 880, go get one now!
  16. more experience will do you better after youve got the basics!
  17. do all your moaning at the grumpy group, then come over to tell about that horse riding totty bouncing around doing the canter
  18. created a new group, have a look:001_smile: (click quick links, then social groups!)
  19. yeah but when your mates the local butcher and gives you meat for near nothing, or an electritian, or roofer, favours are always called on:001_tongue: if i give a mate mates rates, i expect mates rates in return! its karma man!
  20. had that yesterday-pollarded a large veterain oak for highways-about 60%dead (seasoned!) i had our 18 tonner hiab lorry more than full with cord, and some bloke pulled up EXPECTING us to delivier it to his farm for FREE! no offer of even beer money err yeah, right'o mate really resent it when people want something for nothing unless theyre family or a good mate
