You can't get around registering as a subcontractor, but registering as a contractor? Bend over, no lube. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I too thought he put his case well Mick. Edam if you've got a weekend spare read Silky's 'In desperate times' thread. Now there's a man who made things happen for himself. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

As per title, both my cheapo ones have shat themselves in the last couple of months, both standard lever, one flexi hose, one rigid. Time to give someone other than Toolstation my money. Those of you with this machine will know it's a pain to operate the gun onto the roller nipples with the plastic cover flipped back. Any recommendations? Are the trigger guns any good? I only need to grease this machine and a Carlton 900, not a Cat D6, so I don't need an electric gun or Fucksgrease system (possibly spelt wrong). Time wasters welcome, but I will fill your PM inbox with amputee porn. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Hitting a parked vehicle and not leaving details
Mark Bolam replied to kevinjohnsonmbe's topic in Business Management
If you hit a parked car you should always leave a note under the wiper blade. 'People watching think I'm leaving my details. I'm not.' Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -

Has anyone considered a third bridge? Or would that be a bridge too far? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That's the way I've always interpreted it Gary. Mick where is the best place to pick up a top-handled 660? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I personally think you've been just a touch harsh with the lower left limb on the tree on the left, but generally work I would be happy to call my own. They look great from my house. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

One of my favourite tunes! Top stuff, some of it indicates the limitations of harvesters. What was winching the roadside? Forestry has always been a hard game. When it became mechanised, and that wasn't that long ago, I think hand cutting rates were screwed up. The mill can't tell if the the tree was oversized at the butt, too hairy, an edger or on a banking. Volume calculation will never tell the graft you've put in, the price for the stick is the price. I can see a point in the future when hand cutters earn decent money again, simply because they're aren't enough good ones coming through now. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Hold on Edam. You took the job knowing the pay. When you've proved yourself you sit down and renegotiate if you feel undervalued. Arb is a totally undervalued industry, if you don't like it leave. I'm not trying to be harsh, but the money is irrelevant for the job we do, we aren't really in it for the money. I've never gone skiing. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Stihl is the dogs, had mine for years. My only gripe is the anti-spill petrol spout is too wide for my 540, but my mates newer one fits it. Like Dan I burnt my last Husky can, a very satisfying moment. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I don't know why they don't stick even a cheapo pressed cover on it you could pop off (or replace!) in seconds. It would finish the look off, and certainly wouldn't add more than a few quid. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Same as the 125's Ian, which is fine, although you'd think it wouldn't be. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
