He said petrol you said fuel The rules for petrol and diesel storage are different

You are either using it inaproriately or you need to take a long hard look at why you are having so many severe accidents.

Even IF you have both hans on a top handled saw you still don't have the control over it that you would have over a rear handles saw. For those that weren't around or have forgotten, the top handled saw thing came about because of several accidents specifically where climbers leaving the tree couldn't resist nipping a few bits up with a top handled saw. The HSE rattled their sabre and said if you can't be trusted with them we will legislate against top handle saws. This was largely an empty threat because the cost of raising primary legislation to ban top handled saws would have been prohibitively expensive. The HSE preferred option is to get an industry to regulate itself and that's what they did. The saw manufacturers agreed to sell top handle saws only to those who could demonstrate suitable qualification. The HSE do still have the option of prosecuting anyone injuring themselves or allowing others to injure themselves

Full of what? Logs, probably Water probably not

You don't think these scrotes use cars that can be traced back to them do you????? They do this for a living. The price of security is eternal vigilance, and having somewhere to get rid of the body

The V8 burble will always put a smile on your face

Quite the contrary Better than some of the "wet behind the ears" youth, many of whom firmly believe that the use of a smart phone on at intervals of not less than 3 minutes is a human right.

You have a point but there is no guarantee it would get ripped in two, it could well let go in which case the saw would be better off on the lanyard, ya pays ya money and takes your chances. Best is to plan the works better

The tear away lanyards are designed to give up before your rope system or anchor point does. I have seen more than one saw ripped handle from barrel by an old school full fat lanyard. Not a good place for the climber to be. Best to clip the lanyard to the tree if there is a chance of the timber taking the bar with it.

Back in the day when the 076 was a front line saw they came up the tree regularly. Old school cool

HA ha I once reversed a LHD forward control through a drive in

Would an arborist be called "earache" then?

Having put a couple of tippers together Your tipper kit is going to cost you about £300, the ally boarding is going to be about £600, a couple of hundred for the sub frame and floor materials. A couple of days to fabricate it all and put a bit of paint on it That price from Nene isn't cheap but the material costs are considerable, they have overheads and they are entitled to a bit of profit You can find yourself a mate with a mig and have a go yourself Have a look at http://www.servicemetals.co.uk/‎

That's a bit sweeping, any reason why?

Mine certainly likes the choke more than the other brand

I have seen that advert for Berrocca Arb is clearly way harder, you forestry types are all splashing about on floating logs and stuff like that.

Think about it, if it were doable why don't you see many more people doing it?

The chassis cab weighs a shade over 2000kg, put tipping gear and a body on that, add a couple of blokes and some saws and you wont be far short of 3000kg So 500kg of payload +/-. Good luck getting them to down rate that for you. On the up side the cab may be a bit lighter because of the bits that have rusted off it:laugh1:

If you have the chain and bar to hand the Mk1 eyeball will suffice, if it fits good, if it fits and wags about a lot bad.

Quite right. They are horrid to work on and the thought of that many of the blighters in one place gives me the shivers, even if it was a million years ago.

Its not about forcing anyone but it makes the inconvenience of short notice cancellations less likely

Well no one likes being called Geordie:laugh1:

Cant you just compare it with another chain?

I run invoice to go for the ipad. It has a bolt on called sign to go, the client can finger sign the quote on the ipad. Instant binding contract with less chance of the "I have found a cheaper quote" phone call

I have had mine for a couple of weeks now, its a competent tool, more torque than the 200t its replaced and a better saw than the 201.
