I never overload....not my truck.this truck was loaded by the driver. i get a Big truck in January;)...eye protection is something that is down to the opperator...i gave up trying to tell people to put their visor down years ago...when i get my own team also in January then i have more clout and will insist...until then i am merely 2nd climber.....neither my collegues or Boss are Arbtalkers...thanks for your concerns anyway....

A very very enjoyable week...i'm working with a couple of lads who understand that the job is a team effort...want things to run smoothly and that means every job is straightforward...nothing is rushed but simple hard work gets it done! I dismantled a Sycamore in an allotment that was over a shed so cut and held most of it with a silky which is my favourite process:) finnished it of to the trunk with the 201 which i am liking and am used to it now...poisoned the stump with Eco plugs and as usual used a "brand new" Stihl drill...every single thing from rakes to the 088 are box fresh....the arb department is only 2 weeks old:cool: finnished off the week cutting the Elm and got a couple off coffee tables out of it and 3 loads of logs...one load for my boat friends...and yes...i took my Elm home on my trusty bike!

for the quality i think they are great value (Natanoko i mean) yeah the Sk 4 they are made from will only be sharpenable a certain ammount of times then you have to renew....that,s life...All good things....come to an End:001_rolleyes:

.......Unlucky T.C.D.....hope it dries out..... -
Lucky you! it is indeed like having an arm powered chainsaw...and if you can get it sharpened for a tenner i would suggest finding out what file...i think it may be triangular...they are expensive but just imagine being able to tickle up a Natanoko everytime you use it.....

will your Caravan be floating along the river past the Scrumpy house on the 15th?
-
I meant to say the noise when its cutting at full pelt....it makes a "ZING!"noise.....kinda metalic sweet sound.....you must have heared it...its a characteristic of the Nata:thumbup:

Rich i would never have even tried peppermint mint tea...i liked a few cups of filter coffee each day...and i found this tea....But like you Andy i find Earl Grey is delicious! Can,t drink Yorkshire tea...it,s like dishwater:001_tt2: might buy a nice china cup to drink it out of...it,s since i became a Grandad i am starting to look after my self and enjoy the finer things in Life like Tea and....Scrumpy!
