It is a tonne though, right?

Surely the plural of cock up is ‘total f*** up’? I shudder to think what your thoughts are on how to describe the plural of ‘balls up’ Peds!

Vermeer BC 190 XL thoughts/experiences?

Bullet nicely dodged Mick. -
I wouldn’t worry about it. IMO they create complacency among hobby users and provide unrivalled shite grip on the saw. Avoid them.

Cutter goatskin gloves are meant to be good. Skyland Equipment sell them.

I get you. Loads of choice then, don’t waste money on chainsaw gloves! Engelbert Strauss do a great range of leather work gloves at good prices. My go-to’s for rough work were Dickies goatskin gloves. Not sure if you can still get them.

None. You don’t need them. Possibly the most bullshit thing ever invented.

Looking good Doug, well done. 👍

Racquet handle tape looks like.

Some great comments. My mate bought a house down the road from me with a big TPO’d oak which dominates his garden. He knew it, and happily lives with it. The tree is 200+ years old. His neighbours whinge like buggery about it, in their 10 year old houses. The TO is pretty much ‘if you don’t like it, move’. He won’t allow any work, it doesn’t need any. I kind of agree with him.

They won’t play on a Nokia 3210 mate.

Biggest pick was 4.5t.

Crane day today on some manky roadside pops. Pub by 5. Luckily the rain held off and the wind didn’t get up too much.

Mines not a full arb back Paddy, DC Transit with ali sides and 1/4 top. 2-up in the cab plus dog and tools goes 2850 on the bridge empty. All the 130 tippers I’ve seen have been single cabs.

Of course.

I did think you were being harsh Dave!

He should know better then shouldn’t he? Let’s hope he never has to chase a cut with a 20” bar on a 25cc saw. Even if it’s running on nitrous. Probably just done it to get more clicks on Youtube anyway.

Only in America. No one else would be so stupid.

Good to read you again Paul!
-
Get a vid up doing it, that’s impressive. Those ST8’s must go nearly 1.5t with full tanks?
-
There’s probably a lesson here. ’Work’s so busy I’m considering setting up a second team’ should really be ‘Work’s so busy I’ll put my prices up to where they should be and let the gyppos and lowballers fight over the scraps’. Work has always been an ebb and flow, the newly expanded companies shit themselves when it goes quiet and start quoting low which has a knock on. Keep your standards and your prices high. Because we’re worth it.

Fair play on getting it done Paddy. I’d be wanting 2 days money for a situation like that.

You wouldn’t be anywhere near the VAT threshold on £150/day freelance though?
