  1. great short term solution, to be worthwhile around %20 plus, then state future management-thin and/or reduce re growth enjoyable work
  2. use eletrical tape instead of shrink wrap for cobra bracing
  3. 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. . . .
  4. 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!

  8. 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!
  9. 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

  11. good luck mate, remember its not a race!
  12. gettt orrf mye laannd. . . . .crunch crunch crunch
  13. felling oaks but leaving that horrid conifer??
  14. unfortunatly my guns wernt to hand, and even worse, are regestered:( once the novelty of being followed, and giving them the run around wore of, i was seriously thinking about stopping in the middle of the road, and christening my new mattock multiple times on their van. . . .luckly (for them) it diddnt come to that-it takes alot to get me angry!
  15. look at that truck!!! what a beaut!
  16. i had a samsung D500 as a backup phone which ended up being my day-to-day phone as was supprisingly tough-dropped from 1stfloor window, dunked in a pint, run over by a landy, only stopped using it as screen got so scratched couldnt see it in sunshine! could always try leaving your phone in the cab?? thats what i do now:)
  17. driving back to the yard this arvo, on my own, new chipper behind me, and new ms660 on view, passed some scumbags in their transit, who started to follow me, at a distance, but stil followed me down dead ends, round cul-de-sacs, into carparks, through estates, and to a garage, where i filled up fuel cans, they pulled up, and started asking dumb-as-ducx questions ('wheres umm, err, my mate wants to ask you something. . . do you cut trees ect ect) honestly have never met anyone less intellegent put the lock on the lorrys gates, and the chipper, paid for fuel, started to go back to yard, and there they were following me again. rang the boss up, told him whats what, and went to his-diddnt really want to show them the yard. they still followed me, about 45min now. got onto the A10, a few cars between me and them, saw the traffic lights were green, i stopped, cars started beeping like mad at me, i waited for the lights, and just as they turned red, i floored it-scumbags blocked by cars in front, not wanting to jump the lights. IN YOUR FACE SCUM!!!!!!! if anyone around cambridge wants to know the distintive vehicle, the rouge trader firm they call themselves, and where theyre from (seen the van sussing us out before) pm me (is that ok steve???) haha diddnt mention pikey once . . . bollox
  18. yeah, that was a fantastic tree to play in, diddnt need to, but anchored in to the top just for the hell of it:001_smile: dont get many large cedars round thisway, lovely trees. nice crane work phenom!
  19. diddnt realise you could do such things! uploaded a couple:)
  20. i found that too, so chucked it in the bottem of my kit bag, got a bit lazy on a lime red' the other day, got it out, blew the crap off it, bit of saw oil, and its fine! must have got knocked about a bit:D
  21. would it limit you to the type of brash which would be appropiate? I.E people wouldnt want a bag full of conifer sticks and needles any way of changing the size of the end produce-e.g convert it to standard chip?? very intresting
