  1. Hows that yellow peril saw doing now . Customer of mine has bought one and when I had a go today it seemed to handle and cut exceptionally well during the brief time I had it . Although I did not check the inside covers for the husky stamp Whats the price difference between both saws ?
  2. Like I said Big J , We don't sell a lot of timber . Still you have to factor in getting it to roadside . My initial thought was that Oak at roadside would be a lot higher in value than Oak as firewood . There is not a massive difference . I realise your talking about processor sized Oak . Although I could make near the £162 if not more selling as fully processed firewood . Again I realise the extra effort and costs involved .Probably missing something again Obviously a site clearance job I would sell the lot just to get rid .
  3. Good business is that Wow I am shocked at how little value Oak has placed on it ? Not much different than firewood ? Unless I,m missing something . We don't sell much except from the occasional decent stick .
  4. Ha ha ha quality
  5. Ok thats your point of view . How about said person walked through a taped off area then tripped over or was hit by a fallen branch . I,m getting sued simple . On the flip side I dont want myself or anyone I,m working with to be accountable for an easily preventable problem . Taped off areas are done so for a reason . I for one think and hope that in a court of law I would be looked on quite favourably . Most off the time its Oaps or idiots walking through taped off areas . I will always stop and help an oldie through the area
  6. I would push , shove any physical able bodied member of the public if they entered any area I have taped off during a removal .Obviously I would ask them nicely at first .
  7. Nice one . I like the axe scenario , trouble is I,d use the bugger with force on man and vehicle . If and only if I ever catch any of these elusive buggers robbing on my land
  8. I love these boots . They will last a very long time . Soles are hard wearing . Book price is about over a £100 . I suspect that they are cheap as they are a small size .
  9. I welded some serrated teeth to my old timberwolf 125 single roller feed . It worked far better with my simple modification than it did from new
  10. I always end up humming the tune by that boy band Hanson , um bop
  11. Agreed Although I would also add the life and death scenario as quoted by Andy Collins .
  12. Hi there personally I would use any of the companies listed at the side to buy a proper climbing rope . The rope your looking at is ok for srt and not drt
  13. My switch had two spade connectors on it and I simply removed one of them .
  14. Loving the wigwam . I spent many a happy hour in my wigwam as a child pretending to be tonto . You know the Lone Rangers side kick circa 1975 . The Paddle is an excellent gift . Nice detail on the sign age:biggrin:
  15. Sorry Horatio I just disconnected the oil switch and left it at that . Obviously I,m checking the oil daily . This was over 3 months ago maybe more . Just make sure to check check and double check your oil level
  16. Same hear Good debate . I have used a powered pole pruner in a tree . When I could not get near a limb that required removing due to a wasp nest . In the end it was deemed a fair point and we were allowed to use a powered pole pruner to do the job . It worked a treat would of used a silky pole although the limb was to big for a manual pole
  17. [quote=Adam Bourne;1015209 It's about working smart not hard!! If the climber feels it's more safer or easier and can make a good clean target cut then why not?? Good clean cut looks nice and serves a purpose . The customer is always impressed . Although trees have survived for many thousands of years without precise pruning cuts . According to my research many ripped or torn limbs are actually a host to fungi feeding insects. Therefore offering an on site cleaning service to many a tree in this situation . Powered pole saw in a tree ? Although if it is deemed necessary ie wasp nest or other so be it
  18. Laziness is rife and a sad human trait , I think not. Do you speak from experience ? Everyone is different and every climber has his or her traits . If a climber so desires to use a silky pole pruner within the canopy so be it . Its a tool to use as however the operator sees fit . As long as its in a safe and controlled manner .
  19. Brill thanks for the follow up
  20. Ha ha ha good move
  21. Well just bought myself a new Cinch . Its a diamond of a tool for a work positioning strop . The old one lasted 3 years so why not . Also bought a Petzl Grillion , what for well a friend rates them highly and the money was there so again why not .
  22. He is a lucky bugger ain't he
  23. ( I,ll be back ) Don,t think I need to mention the actor or film
