If you are earning your living from your saw then it makes sence to spend big money on it. But for most home / small works users its just not worth spending big money. How many of you run round in £200k cars? not many. Why? cos its not the way you make your money so you dont need a race spec car. I actualy have one of those saws. Been using it now for about 2 years. In that time its been used hard for cutting trees down & doing fire wood. I also use a smaller Mac saw. I prefer the Mac as its lighter, smoother & generaly nicer to use but there are times when size does matter. I have had the Mac for about 4 years, Its about worn out now but I can still get spares so its worth fixing up. It starts It stops & its does what I need. It def would not suit full time day in day out work, but on the days I use it it will be running virtualy all day. The Mac cost me about £120 ins del & I have spent about £30 on non consumable parts (antivibe springs & clutch). The bigger saw cost less than £80 inc del & I have spent about £25 on a new chain break & air filter cover. So the Mac has cost me £37 per year & the big saw £53 so far. Even if they both fail tomorrow they owe me nothing & at those running cost rates it will take a long time before I have spent what one new big name saw would have cost. Justme

We get that too but to a lesser extent but not from deer. Mainly from sheep (now fenced out) & squirels. They seem to attack the bottom of some trees & the top of others. Justme

If you raise the spliter then you will have to manualy lift the un split logs up, which will be heavier than the split logs. If you have a naturaly sloping bit of ground use that to create the hight or lower the standing for the bag but watch out for the water table. Justme

Yes WRC & looking for a full load now. Justme

On an aside what would be the right way to attach a swing? Justme

Can you do me a price for them inc del to LL53 6TL I can then pass it on. He is looking for them quite soon if the price is right. Cheers Justme

I would have to check for sure but I think so. Justme

Hi, What sizes are the Douglas firs? I know some one that is looking for some (artic load) if they of the right size. Where are you? I am looking for some more Cedar. Must be 3.6m or more long & min 10" at the top but pref more. Looking for about 1/2 artic load but more for the right price. Justme

HSE are quite strict on this. Even if the likely ocurance is low if the consiquences are high the "risk" factor is high & some thing must be done. If the consiquences are death (which they are as its in a public area) then even a very low likely hood of happening still merits action (even if that action is just to monitor more often or have a higher spec technical monitoring). Justme

I dont know about risk assessing trees but in standard biss rick assessments it not just about how likely the thing is to happen but also the consiquences of it happening. So a high risk item that is in an area that would mean no damage happened would get a low rating but a low risk item in a highly populated area would get a high risk rating & would have to have some thing done about it. Its all about risk likley hood of ocurance & possible consiquences Justme

What about 1mm steel with angle braces? Or make a frame & get a bespoke lorry canvas back made to fit. You can get bouncy castle makers to do the material bit. Justme

Do those of you that sell it green charge less for it? Justme

In to old days when trafic cops used to help you not issue tickets it was normal for them to use the range rovers to pull artic's that had broken down or jack knifed. Justme

Whats the road side price? Also whats the going rate per mile on delivery of a full lorry? Justme

How much? Justme

1, Real pictures of the actual item show clearly in close up 2, no pop ups 3, keep it simple, just because you does not mean you should, dont let the web designer add on all the bells & whistles (they will try trust me it increases the bill) 4, dont make people register to see the prices, get postage costs ect 5, be upfront about del costs & time scales, people would rather know that it will take X days 6, do not try to reduce customers statutory rights by using company policies like some stores do 7, dont sell items you dont have instock (that realy pees lots of people off) unless you are up front & say its a special order item 8, if you have links to bigger pictures make sure they are actualy bigger,. its supprising how many are not 9, Now I know I cant spell for toffee, but make sure its spelt & gramaticaly correct 10, dont make people opt out of any mail outs, & word it clearly if they should tick or not, some are very badly worded to confuse people. Justme

Pop down to your local small car part shop / factors. They wont have them in stock but for full boxes will order them in for you. Justme

Also the PTO pump will be rated at full PTO speed so you will be running the engine much fast anyway. Try using the trailer tipping port I am sure that has a larger flow rate for the bigger rams it will have. Justme

Who, Where? Justme

How much to Pwllheli? Thats in North Wales so delivery might kill it lol Justme

A tree encroaching on a powerline perhapse? Justme

I thought they had dropped the idea of a sea fishing licence? This seems to go even further. Also its about time they changed the quota system to stop commercial fishermen chucking TONNES of fish back in dead just because the value is low. They should land ALL they catch & that weight come of the quota. They might target their catch better then. I mean what is the point of putting all that good food back in the sea dead & wasted? Justme

I have just ordered an artic of Larch. Min 10" at the narrow end, front end of lorry all 5m plus, rear of lorry 3.6m plus, 25-27 cubes / tonnes on lorry for £65 per tonne inc del VAT etc to a remote area (added £5 tonne to normal delivery cost). Its for milling up not firewood mind you. Justme

My guess is none. You will be below the legal limit I would say. Justme

Is that in tree lenths still or odds & ends? What sized rounds & lengths? I guess thats plus del? Where from? I am looking for a large load of wood in the round (pref logs about 2' plus round) suitable for milling up to build a cabin in a remote wood I own. Any suggestions on where to source the wood as I dont want to cut the trees in my own wood. Cheers Justme
