  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. Wound sealants do have a place, the nursery industry uses them to good effect in grafting.
  4. What are proper pruning cuts if not an approximation of what happens in nature
  5. Yes but that's how it happens in nature and I would say nature has the edge in experience
  6. You can rely on predictive text to embarrass you:laugh1:
  7. You get about a bit don't you:laugh1:
  8. 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...................
  9. Don't use it, it causes rot and then you have to fill the hole with concrete.
  10. Most probably
  11. Except that isn't a hi cap
  12. 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
  13. Here is picture of a valve block I trawled off the web The shiny bit looking this way from the valve body is a pressure relief valve, yours may look a little different but it will be something like this.
  14. That's unlikely to be a PR system and even if it were you shouldn't need it. Presumably you are going to connect this pump to a direction control valve on the splitter? If that's the case the valve will have a PR valve built into it, well it ought to have anyhow. Lets see a picture of the valve to be sure
  15. Its likely that the "Allen" screw is holding the swash plate. The slotted head looks like a cover, possibly for an adjustment screw.

    Obsolete kit on properties, a few years ago I came across an overhead between houses that definitely wasn't BT but didn't look like an LV either. I checked with the network provider who identified it as a Redefusion cable Rediffusion Television
  17. Quite so, sounds to me like someone with responsibility for trees that was embarrassed by a failure, trying to convince people that it wasn't his fault
  18. Well that depends how badly the want a response. Easy to read posts will get more attention. If you make it hard for people to read they will be less likely to engage in a response.
  19. No he said it was because they were undercutting his prices
  20. No mate, I have been at this a long time and found out a long time ago that things wouldn't change by themselves and that there was nothing I could do about it. Have a rant, then sit down with the phone book and drum yourself some work up, have the others worry about what you are doing rather than you doing the worrying.
  21. Back on topic, Yes, of course they should be allowed to sell.
  22. Do you think it was ever anything different? These people do not stop you concentrating on your own business, you are doing that. Over 20 years ago I was taught this lesson by a mentor. I had spent some time whining to him that others were taking my work, he listened then pushed the phone book and phone over to me and made me spend the same amount of time that I had moaned looking for some work, within half an hour I had a string of contacts and some work.
  23. Why are you bothered what other companies are doing? Concentrate on your own business
  24. That will not get the contractor out of trouble.
  25. Ahhh so you can overload it even more.............
