About blimmin time!!!

Nice to see a home made effort run by people who Do the job recieve credit .

Often folks like Steve get over looked because they havn`t invested ££££££££££££££££££ .

Well done,

Steve I hope this feels like some reward for the hours and hours if not days of work you have put in.

Great site , great members, great forum.

They saw that as a training exercise Dean. They knew full well it was legit but couldn't resist the chance to large it.

 

No time for em what so ever.

The first line of your reply is probablly right , practicing so when its your truck or your chipper being nicked they will get it back.

sounds to me like they cant win!!

one post they cant do F all the next they do to much!!!!

I am glad i aint a copper, with this sort of attitude towards them about no wonder they have to be firm.

one thing i noticed was make sure your back cut isnt to high in relation to base of gob cut, this can lead to it spliting up instaed of the hindge folding.

Not a nice event to happen, especially on a straght even tree you expect it to just go over.

never really drove fendt , all who drive them love them.

Exspensive!!!

get him to do a favour for you and then complian about it!!!!

whe he moans remind him of the logs!!

make sure you have got rid of all the petrol fumes before heating it !!

leave the cap off while doing it otherwise you will have a hole to fill!!!

my 357 is a bit damp along the seam also, think i will just buy a new tank.

My personal favourite is the old case mx series before they were taken over by new holland, 99-03. Had an mx 110 years ago that was opened up and kicking out about 140hp, felt an absolute beast to drive, so much torque it was unreal, out pulled a neighbouring farmers McCormick mtx185!!

wrong shade of red for me!!

the pumas are ok tried one a year or 2 ago and it was good.

with a New Holland up it's rear!

 

 

 

That's the saying around here, but then this is unashamedly blue tractor country, and always has been.

new holland would never be in fornt would it!!!!

often the only time a new holland can see the back of a JD is if its being towed by it!!!!

personally i would be in a big red tractor!!!!!!

HI STOXS so the JD IS 180HP then jon

yup, Auto power box , not to bad for agreen one!!

looking at a newer one so should be upto around 200 then:001_smile:

Work on a couple of estates in finchampstead nr Wokingham pick ups done 48000 on 04 plate loads of work here . One estate is owned by famous Irish family .

LOL , i work for a famous irish family too!!

think it mght be the same family, got land eveywhere.

the like a drink????

JD 7530 , JCB Telescopic, claas 460 combine.

About 2000 on the tractor, 200 on a telescopic and around 400 on the combine.

with offers like that i ithink it could be a busy weekeend!!!!

with lots of dribbling!!

Exactly - The chain tie straps have been rubbing on the nose of the bar.

Any more news on this?

Had a good look at my saw earlyer and as CJ says the chain dosnt touch the tip of the guide bar the sprocket should hold it away a tiny amount.

I will hazard a guess that either the chain is wrong to the guide bar or the guide bar is faulty, either as said the nose spocket is wrong or the guide bar has been machined wrong.

I would say if it isnt oiling properlly on a bar that length it would seize first, yes chain slack is a sign of over heating.

More often get burning where you have been cutting not on the tip like that.

is the chain and bar the right match? boxes might be right but the contents might be wrong.

take it back to where you got it from saw as well and see what they say!

keep us posted though

Very intersting topic and its not just the arb industry suffering from this.

when i took my cs 38 i did everything that was asked of me on the day. I passed but with a note to improve branch walking.

next 2 fellas were real good and flew through, the final chap on course was ok not a youngster but he failed as instructor wasnt confident with him.

This chap got the injured climber down but did miss one or 2 points and the person being resuced said he was most nervous of this one person out of all of us.

i refused to be signed rescuse for a climber on several occassion because i was concerned if i had to i wouldnt be able to.

After 4 years of holding cs 38 i could potentially be a signed rescue for a climber but i havnt climbed in 3 years!!

was on a electrical course the other week a Portable Appliance Testing. the instructor was hopeless all he did was read from a book, one or 2 lads on the course didnt have a clue on what to do and what was right or wrong but we all got a pass!!

I think there should be some on course assesments going on for the assesors.

especially if it could be done without assesor knowing.

keep em on their toes!

you aint on agri business in there are ya!!!

mmm more risk of drink driving !!

John ocallaghan mob ...............Hope is of use to u

 

 

Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

i hope this person is happy for his mobile number to be sent all around the world in 2 seconds flat!

I know i wouldnt be, use the PM system for personal infomation it`s alot safer:thumbup1:

wots wrong with that?

just like any other stihl, heheheehehehehee

£300!!!!

without asking first!!

sorry but if your not sure ask first, no point after the event. as someone else said good job he only got bid upto £75 and not the full £300.

We all make mistakes its easy done,

I for 1 would admit it and have a laugh about it.

I hope he gets his money back and can send saw back, that would be end of then.

best thing to do with that chainsaw is put it on e-bay!

SOME .......... will buy it.

might have a bid myself the wife says she wants a chainsaw!!

iF YOU CAN GET WRITTEN AND SIGNED PERMISSION FROM VOSA THEN THATS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

The police will not argue with a decission from vosa.

Police dont argue with DVLA either lolol.

Another story but DVLA requested police officers number and name because the officer accused me of comitting an offence when i had permission form DVLA .

Keep on trucking, oopps sorry tractorring, opps sorry chipping, oopps sorry hauling.

Best change the sign writting to combined Ag services.

what about using something that will break away, I.e a decent size zip tie between harness and strop, use this when concerns about saw being pulled. it can stay on there when in normal use.

Just an idea nice and cheap, just need to find right size zip tie.

so then , effectively all i need to do is not carry chip on the mog while on the road ?

no just make sure you have doors on the back! and dont heap it over the top!

mine gets checked every 12wk , by some one compitent ,

worth getting this done by someone who will raise you a bill and sign a piece of paper for you.

Might just save ya arse if something goes wrong.

Dont forget the trailer ,tow chipper as well.
