  1. I thought that Rupe! If they have saved you more than once i think you need to have a look at your work practices. No not all public are muppets but the vast majority havnt got a clue on how to use one or look after a saw, i mean most of the gen public think you can cut soil, stone and concrete with a chainsaw!!!
  2. Am i Bear Grylls?...........................errrrr no more like Beef grylls:lol:
  3. had a few Jon, 205d 306d turbo. brilliant engines, far better than modern HDI imo.
  4. Do you pay travel money justin? oh and how much discount on saws do i get?

    Stihl 044

    044/ms440 is a top saw, run mine on a 20" bar. lovely well balanced saw.
  6. Well i aint paying for it, if they want work done to those standards it should be free to tree professionals. i got a copy of the old one on a back hander:sneaky2:

    I have a 53 plate tipper, nothing fancy but not a nail either, fast and good on fuel. Like others have said first impressions and all that, the other thing is though if you HAVE to run around in an old nail you not charging enough, i dont see why i should have old or knackered stuff, the business should be able to pay for reasonable gear. 2 years im changing mine again for something like an 08 truck.
  15. Some of the prices are crazy, it's either good but expensive or cheap rubbish. I dont buy and saws and the like of there any more simply because there either over priced rubbish or if there cheap normally nicked.
  16. I think any one thats been in the game more than a few years has used one single handed i know i do on a regular basis.
  17. It would be right up your street Steve, soft and quirky, just like you kent boys!!!!!
  18. I would say the person doing the work is liable, thats why we have insurance. If its some old guy with a b+q special they cant be that big anyway.
  19. i wouldnt worry about it, he will have an accident of some kind either to himself or one will go wrong and then he will have a big bill. Its easy cutting trees, there all pro's till it goes wrong.
  20. Yes of course we have but hey thats life, it wont be a pro and if it is they wont be doing it for long!
