You are on form with the ducking and dodging today, care to be a be more specific, I see you aren't exactly talking from experience, its easy to reproduce advertising blurb from the seller. BTW Aspen is at least double the price of pump, is 100% what you had in mind when you said not much difference? I appreciate that you are happy with the product but I think you are over egging the pudding a little.
-
OK duck that one then, care to expand on this Over the last couple of decades I have run countless saws, most of them into the ground as well as fixing third party kit and I have yet to have one expire because it was running on pump, so, why do they run longer on alkylate?
-
Care to say how much of a difference?
-
Trouble with that is, if you run out of alkylate and have to go back to the regular stuff you will be forever mucking about tuning the saw when all you want to do is pick it up and use it

Just in fields? Behave or I will set hamadryad on you, once he has had his way with you, you will koi ow the right of it. So any news on the bacterioslug?
-
The main thing I would be looking for would be the ability to drive the van and tow the chipper, if I have a man with that and a work ethic, training and tickets would be forthcoming at my expense.

What's a tree slug? Is it like a regular slug only with an NPTC? How does this sub species of slug cause decay? How do bacteria cause decay in trees? What effect will torching the wound have on the cambium? Won't you need to stay there on torch duty keeping watch for spores and bacteria ready to strike as and when needed? Flame sterilisation is a valid process in the right place but if applied to trees it's about as impractical as it gets. I wonder if Fungi cause decay in trees?

You aren't the first person to say that but it's not strictly true. A true sub contractor will usually provide his own kit but that's not necessarily true of a freelancer. Some, particularly in tree work may bring kit (particularly PPE) but take machine operator as an example. A forwarder driver wouldn't bring a forwarder same as a groundie wouldn't bring a chipper.

Left in a van over night is just making it easy for them

1st post, perils of dealing with bureaucracy
treequip replied to Simple Simon's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
He might have given a location as Australia but don't let that confuse you, he is definitely speaking about UK. -
Every single site I go on and that's quite a few, that and the CSCS card.
-
We used Lac Balsam in Germany until the early 90's, for a small wound a full covering and for a dinner plate size just the cambium, it stuck to your pants and all your kit.

What makes you think it has "oomph" Carbide chain is a specialty thing for dirty timber, it doesn't cut as well as standard and its a real PITA to sharpen.
-
Worth getting into debt for? That's your decision but I say not at credit card rates, if you have to get debt, get a loan
-
Wound sealants do have a place, the nursery industry uses them to good effect in grafting.
-
What are proper pruning cuts if not an approximation of what happens in nature
-
Yes but that's how it happens in nature and I would say nature has the edge in experience

You can rely on predictive text to embarrass you:laugh1:
-
You get about a bit don't you:laugh1:
-
Well it is if you absolutely have to keep it but any tree with a bit of fungus on it is only a chainsaw away from firewood...................
-
Don't use it, it causes rot and then you have to fill the hole with concrete.
-
Most probably

Except that isn't a hi cap

I stand to be corrected but I thought this move was HSE lead, i.e. the HSE told the forestry industry that they needed to kill less people and this is their answer. If that is the case there will be no back down
