  1. Guys wondering what type of trucks chip boxes you use would every one be happy to post pics or not. Obviously keep your personal details out ie phone numbers company names as who knows who looks on the site.
  2. What could happen is the owner wants it done by someone he knows and your customer wont pay half for him to do it then the tree will just get left for another year. I think applying for tpo's for customers is just a waste of everyones time since its hard to charge for it. Then once they have the permission they get some one cheaper any way
  3. I get what your saying with the tuning but brand new machines should not need to be tuned. Husqys dont need a tune when you buy them.
  4. Aint green mech disc blades tho.
  5. I am having a tool box made to fit under my transit with piano hinges every thing except the poles can fit in them. How the hell do you secure poles
  6. What about them gorrila tubs i have a few of them but never thought about using them.
  7. Why is it weak steve?.
  8. husk make gr8 pro saws stihl make gr8 top handel saws but stihl i believe are making their saws fail early ie rubbish 200t carbs goes after 1-2 years £60-70 for a new one.
  9. TW blades are made from a swedish steel i think. Wonder if any one makes tunsgten tipped blades ??.
  10. Appreciate the advice. Daisy chaining does take a while but it never tangles ever thats what i like about it.
  11. So are the stihl top trimmers not that good then ?.
  12. Yeah i store in a bag but do you just shove it in or daisy chain it. What i mean is the rope creates loops hockles ??.
  13. If your machine still holds warranty im sure that using after market bolts would invalidate it. I only use timberwolf oem blades im just concerned that saturn blades are not the same i am proberly wrong tho.
  14. Hi guys just wondering how you store your lowering ropes. I have daisy chained my 16mm esterlon but it kept needing to have the kinks removed every few feet as i was chaining it up ?. I do love this method as it turns 40-50 meters into 10-15 ft long.
  15. Nothing the 66 cant handel but i do like the 3120xp
  16. I use husqy 325 much better cut than the stihl and much easier to start from cold. Vib not as good as stihl but i can live with it. The stihl rough cut is worth having as its really good for thick conni hedges.
  17. I have used the new stihl T AND R versions the engines are always an ass to start they conk out any one else had any problems with these. Also the ms200t carbs are still 08 crap ??>
  18. I currently use a flat file it does the job very well but its long. I thought a angle grinder was a bit dogey.
  19. Had my groundie wreck my trimmer teeth yestereday spent ages refiling every sodding tooth. Do any of you guys use angle grinders??.
  20. lol. The only person that can judge the situ is the guy up there in the tree.
  21. I have had many times where pikies drive past where your working and you know there looking for something to nick. Im sure there are good pikies but i never seem to see those.
  22. I have seen gr8 glimbers after 1-2 years work then again i still see people after 5 years who are still not good.. Its down to the person
  23. If you have a steel core your pretty safe so long as you dont rev the saw into it. Using another lanyard choked is always nice but sometimes you wanna move quick. After all were running businesses not training days
  24. We did the petrol eviction method a while back to a nest in the ground funny thing was they come out of another hole and got my groundie hahaha.
  25. When ever you get a chipper nicked trust me its on a pikie site been offered 2 chippers over the years brand new and for under 2000. So dont say pikies aint all the same
