Beats a churchyard of 54 lime repollards, a double allé of 900 lime prunes on one street, 400 on a parallel street and then an allé of limes in another city for a break Wanna swap?

What make are they? How much to supply and fit to a new Hilux? Whats the extra weight? How does it affect warranty?

A few posts on Facebook from back home, 2 Irish guys selling chainsaws and generators from "a (transit) connect van with blue writing- A (something) van hire" and posts of people noticing the coincidence of the travelling fraternity being in the area and rise in break ins, and heating oil theft. Snape, Aldeburgh, Woodbridge and Leiston area

Yeah easy with a puller but not so without, tried levering it off but didn't want to break it (plastic) so Martins sending me his puller Rigging an elm, had a rigging rope which was far too short (block just over half way up the tree) so kinda snatching branches and timber onto the line, didn't need full control, just enough to pull the timber and branches in to avoid lamp posts and a new foot path. groundy letting it run to the floor. had the 46 sitting in the main forks for the big wood, using the 200 on the long branches, one 8ft long 15" dia lump of wood, the ground didn't let run, went into the saw like a battering ram. He said he knew the saw was there, didn't know why he didn't let it run, just forgot, very apologetic, no ones fault imo just one of those things. Some pics of the Job

My 460 had a little accident last summer Real shame as it was one of the last to be sold in the UK (had to ring round a few suppliers to see who had one - Skylands last i believe) and id only put 50 something hours on it, just started to loosen up nicely:thumbdown: Broken parts included: Both crankcase halves, Rear handle/tank assembly, sprocket cover, fan housing cover, switch housing and air filter base, plus the associated gaskets, bearings and oil seals needed. I'd won a bag in the christmas raffle from Gustharts, so got the parts from them, first dealings with them and fantastic service few photos of the broken components, and new bits built up with old innards ready to go. Hit a stumbling block getting the flywheel off, even the local saw shop couldn't help. So martin (burrell_) is coming up trumps and sending me his flywheel puller (aswell as giving advise ) Cheers mate

Less having to watch 2minutes of watching someone do their cuts. more watching the last 3sexonds of cuts then action! No more than 4min, 5min MAX. If I click on a tree video and see its 15min long I'll clickoff without watching
-
Harsh but true! Or start a grass cutting business, A name such as Norfolk Tree Care sounds like you'll be able to do anything to any tree anywhere in Norfolk. I very much doubt you can David. Very true, but theres also being being optimistic and realistic. Optimistically i'd love to be a male porn star banging all those dirty, skanky, fake breasted tarts, Realistically my sausage isn't near big enough for a start. Start smaller David, and work your way up.

Excellent! Thanks

Hi, I've heard of parts catalogues but never needed to use one until now so don't know where they are Does anyone have a link to a Stihl MS460 parts catalouge with exploded diagrams? Thanks!

Haglöfs vulcan 60quid 4years ago, still like new, waterproof, easy access, very tough, removable shoulder straps. I have had full climbing kit, inc rope, saw pants, boots, 020, helmet ect in no problem. Normally just have harness, spikes, helmet, spare crabs n pulleys, flip lines and pruning saws in though. Ropes in the cheap stien blue kit bags-one rope per bag. Works nicely.

EU court rules fatness now officially a disability
josharb87 replied to Wood wasp's topic in General chat
So fat people, who need exercise, will be given a blue badge, so they can park NEARER macdonalds or wherever their feeding trough is, walking (exercising) EVEN LESS???? Yeah thats a good f idea Narrower doors at fast food joints, and scales at the tills that show different menus according to weight would be better -
Remember I'm in Sweden and the pound is strongish atm If I buy cans its 25 liter cans, around 600sek from my friendly dealer, or via the aspen pump, which is cheaper still per liter but I have no record of actual cost Also going on gardenkits comments, everyone in buisness is vat registered here
-
Im pretty sure its not compulsory no, but its just the done thing to use aspen. Dealers recommend it like a jo-ho recommends religion, machines come with aspen stickers on saying to only fill with aspen, aspen or equivalent is available at every fuel garage AND I get aspen at about £1.85 a litre at todays exchange rate Id never willingly go back to pump fuel
-
I'll echo pretty much all steves said Don't be afraid to go in straight away with a price you might think is too high, I aired on the side of caution and went with an average rate, and was soon booked up 3months in advance. great but a bit pointless when more company's want you at higher rates, 10private jobs suddenly get accepted over a couple of days etc The loler days and doing something diffrent sounds like a good plan. Definatly less stress
-
Are the Sparks caused from the carbon deposits? If so, if a saw is run on aspen from day one, there will be no carbon deposits, therefore won't even need a spark screen? Would I be correct in thinking like that?

Macbook Air I wanted a new laptop, (my last, £600 dell, 4years old was almost unusable as so out of date) so i looked at spending £500 on one, then i needed the office package (£80) to actually do anything useful on it, plus antivirus £100, then it was only £100 away from the cheapest Macbook. I asked advise from friends, and the one comment that stuck in my head was you never hear of anyone going from a mac back to windows. I don't get the best out of my Mac as I'm not great with computers, but i am extremely happy with it and so glad i spent the extra for quality. I even got £200 quid knocked off as i wanted the cheapest but they diddnt have that in stock so gave me the one I've now got for the same price (i was told that apple products were sold at a %5 loss by my media friend too so he was suprised at my deal)

Nice!

Yes I believe it is avants silage grab. Not closing completely isn't a problem. With small grab loads you can close as much as possible, then tilt the grab up slightly, as long as you're driving sensibly you won't loose anything. I think it's more a problem in your head than it is in reality Tyres, I've used a 200series with the turf tyres, they are useless. If it's wet grass, spinning turf tyres will do more damage than the tractor style ones not spinning That silage grab is the best all round attatchment IMO as it will grab logs, branches even do a rough rake without ever getting off the seat. You can't rake with the rotator one (last pic) and you can't grab branches easily or rake with the pallet forks/log thumb
-
This type of grab you can use it almost like a rake, pushing, roll and "bale" branches before grabbing a big load of them. down side is if you have a 3m long branch/stem you need a 3m wide access. This type i believe is a one off build. (a companies i sub too) Grab, rotator and winch. pros is you can grab and reverse to drag/extract, cons is its HEAVY far too heavy for a 420

Nice Tom!

Could be worth trying a pair of woolen gloves under your current ones. I saw a program with a swedish skier who recommended woolen gloves first to trap heat, then wind/waterproof gloves over the top
