  1. Check the belts it should only take minutes and give you peace of mind . They may of stretched or be worn . Have you checked the flywheel sensor ?
  2. Ha ha ha spot on fella . My everyday climbing kit for trees up to 50ft is stored in a ............yes you guessed it a camouflage bag . You wouldn't believe how many times I have nearly lost the beggar Hi viz all the way
  3. Maybe .... and this is just a thought you should offer to work for said timber or at least mention that your willing to pay for it
  4. Could well be loose belts
  5. Cone splitter for us as we only sell x amount of firewood per year . To pay for our yard space and maybe a few cheeky nights away with my lady If im lucky .
  6. Now ya talking boys . Ley Lines and Tunnels are something I have dabbled in for many years now . This quaint pass time has had me all over the uk . Last year I / We found a deep cave next to a powerful waterfall .... near a large northern city . We only had a short rope to descend but never the less this tunnel is marked as an SFFI ....site for further investigation . These lines usually have powerful magnetic fields . The Mersey Tunnel for example has many tributary's shall we say . Turn down one and its surprising how many bodies will suddenly appear and gladly escort you to the nearest exit ? It gets warm really warm underground to the point where you need to shed clothing .
  7. That inner edge was sharp when new lol so why not . Im just a tad over the top with keeping things sharp . I can see where your coming from though I do try to get my old multi tip teeth .... Squared off when they are smaller as I find they cut better . I only do this due to the cutting area being reduced in size .
  8. I have a pedestrian hydraulic driven machine . Powered by a 20hp Kohler engine . This is fitted with the multi tip system and it is bloody amazing . One allen head bolt per tooth is great .This makes for super fast changing . The only gripe for me is not being able to sharpen in between the teeth ? Have you ever considered selling your un sharpened and abused multi tip teeth ? I d buy them Pm me lets get a deal on I sharpen mine on a green wheel ... Silicone Carbide . By the time Im done with the blighters they are as small as a peanut lol .
  9. Many thanks guys . I will make a purchase soon and put up some good pics I hope

    Wasps

    Sorry I posted a few weeks back that wasps were lacking this year . I still have only seen a few ? and the nests I have come across have only ever been small and empty ? South Cheshire so far is low on the wasp count . Although I have been informed that they will be here on mass late September ?
  11. Evening people long story cut short I was gifted a box of outdated crisps . The cheap n nasty space invader type . I accepted them and really pleased with my free bargain box so I am . Anyhow I have been leaving a few invaders pickled onion flavored around the yard every night . Sure the foxes are munching on them ? I just wondered what was the best camera to stick up the nearest tree to catch the blighters . Clarity of vision would be nice ? I have cctv on our yard gate . Just wanted something mobile less than a hundred buff . Also have buzzards at our yard most days to ? Could it be badgers ? Just curious is all . Might even be a Woodland Spriggan . A what ? Goggle it for yourself . Our main yard is a Beech Ash Sycamore woodland with lots of old growth stumps now surrounded by the over flowing bracken
  12. Nice one Danny . Ive been in the job for over 20yrs and only have a few videos that customers have done of me climbing ? Millions of photos though . I hate technology ......... sorry thats wrong I just dont know how the buggar works lol . Keep posting matey
  13. Totally agree with Mr Bolam . Took me a can of Polish Lager at 7% . Not all Treemen have an eye for the final product Another quality job .
  14. Top respect fella . Biking is a cool way to get fit and see things you wouldn't see in ya truck aim for hills hills and more hills . Mick Stockbridge is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to pedal power
  15. Many ex forces on here . I myself would opt for a less physical role in the work place if I were in your shoes . Having served myself I would look at tree work /climbing as a very arduous day to day task . Hard on the body and mind . If your an Infantryman NCO or other and you think your fit . Offer a days free groundwork for a local company ? Id sooner do a 13 miler with full kit in the brecon beacons . As I hate dragging brash past flower pots that fall over and ridiculously stupid access scenarios . Not to mention postage stamp drop zones when you finally get to climb ?
  16. Totally agree with you on this one
  17. I feel for you young lady .... I myself sometimes have thought the same thing . Although some people ask some daft questions ? Its maybe just that they are not as experienced in the world of wood as most on here ? Cut some slack to the new boys and ignore the hero's I have spoke out of turn on here a few times . These things happen lets just hope the majority learn and grow from it . I'm still trying
  18. I really like another arbtalkers aka Breezeblocks solution of bolting it to your chipper . You will use it lots more ..... seriously I ratcheted mine to our little TW 125 and it gets used more now than ever . As its always accessible
  19. I went for a copy arb trolley 2 /3yrs ago and when its needed its a bloody legend . Tip my hat to original legend Reg Coates for making it happen
  20. Nice one . This is the point you should of revved your saw and shouted dam my saws seized Seconds later shout its alright just crap in the fuel . Sometimes you just gotta pee
  21. Pee in an oasis bottle ? You know the fruit drink with the larger opening lol . Its what I do
  22. Hope your sorted but count me out now . I will not be available Sunday .
  23. 4 miles from one of our yards . If you don,t have any takers I will happily shift on Sunday . Regards Paul
  24. A proper holiday means you should switch off and recharge your batteries . Do not let your business run your life . Its better to run a business in a way that suits your life . Hope I'm making sense . Trying to do everything and be everywhere is a tough call . This could cause major stress / burnout . Trust me I have been there and many before me have also . After all your years in business regulars will wait ? Maybe set your answer machine to say ( Im on a contract out of the area and will call back within a week regards blah blah blah ) Seriously life is too short . Get your shorts on go swimming have a laugh enjoy life and alcohol not forgetting loved ones family and friends . Oh and bang some pics up of your time away from the tools
  25. Is this a Crewe postcode ?
