  1. Great kit Gray Git! I didn't think the tree looked that big until i saw the last pic with the person by the stem!
  2. Just get the mother in law to explain/book quotes in for when you get back then? When i had work done on the house one guy told me straight up that it'd be 3 weeks before he could come to look, it was fine for me as he was good at communicating/good reason.... he got the job in the end
  3. You might be fully qualified after 28 days but itll take a few years under the wing of a good arborist before you're up to scratch IMO. Here (sweden) the HSE require you to have training suitable to the task no older than 5years, in the event of an accident they'll then look into the training you had to see if it was adequate, doesn't matter what country or language you took it in. It'd prob be easier to start a company with no experience or from scratch abroad rather than the UK as from my understanding/experience the UK has so much red tape/competition to contend with
  4. Not even 3 days old and working hard

    Hilux

    I had a f reg mk 3, indestructible! Made a cage for the back for green waste. 2.4 non turbo was fine with a 750kg timberwolf chipper but struggled with the bigger JBM at over a ton. That was in relatively flat east Anglia

    110 Tipper.

    Good work on rescuing the 110 tom
  7. I wish! Just cigaretts and housing (in the sticks like mine) are cheaper Thanks jay lee and mick
  8. The Greenmech is a great little chipper, good aggressive infeed. I like that the engine is covered.
  9. What does that weigh? how much will it lift?
  10. Full bike license (automatically gives you the lower classes: Might be slightly diffrent as its now a swedish license (shouldn't be as its EU and took tests in the uk) I believe a full car license entitles you to ride trikes, just like a full bike license entitles you to drive 3 wheeled cars, maybe they now have to clarify it clearer on the cards?
  11. Thats great! your previous post too. Are the planks biscuit jointed (don't know the proper term sorry!) lengthways too?
  12. You want a quad with a solid rear axle with the hitch mounted on the axle if you're towing. If you have a quad with independent rear suspension, the hitch will be above the suspension so will pull the whole machine down when towing. Only used Honda formans, the older 450s and newer 500s
  13. I Wonder how many of those who googled lumberjack, were actually after tree work? And how many were horny housewives and hipsters? Blog was a good read
  14. Ive got an extra filter, a band of material that wraps round the filter to stop this happening. This filter setup is far superior to stopping the real fine dust than the green filter that i had previously IME Ive an 880, 2003 model, brought 3rd hand in 2007. no problems what so ever. You might want to think about running either saw on Aspen from new, so many advantages including - better for your health, saws health and as milling IS hard on saws, if it does seize or the like, the dealer can't turn round and say "wrong fuel mix, not our problem"
  15. Are you undoing it clockwise or anti clockwise?
  16. Nice pics rich! Strange but as soon as I say that deep blue sky in the pics it was instantly recogniseable as Scandinavia!
  17. Would be great with a grab! Handy bit of kit for the odd stem for taking to the yard to mill though? Seen one on eBay a few months back at 12 or 14k, saw that one in the original post is at 7k
  18. Media and social media is the new bible, the way of controlling the masses. Alquaida Isis and the like are about as good a represntation of Islamic and Muslim culture as the kkk is of Christianity. I stopped watching the news when I moved to sweden, all news outlets are biased one way or the other, the same goes for your article links I'm afraid. My world is a lovely place with my head burried in the sand try it tom, ignore all news, religion and opinions and enjoy your beautiful Cornwall. Turn your back on the biased world of media rather that be a sheep in one pen or the other
  19. Totally agree! its a fantastic little saw almost un-noticeable on the harness which is great on big prunes. Another saw Stihl got right imo! It has stepped unto the mark though when the oil pump on my 200 packed up doing some birch fellings.
  20. Some of todays, 5 addresses, found a football sized stone to grind free in one stump
