  1. Excellent reduction mate, less than 30% IMO but I dont like working to %'s and only use them as a guideline, untill you get into the tree and check for suitable growth points to reduce to its diffucult to tell where your cutting to from the ground. I find doemstic customers feel they are not getting there moneys woth unless you demolish the tree to stumps.....educating the general public, hmmm think this has been covered in another thread!
  2. Looks like a good set up mate, can you round grind them on that?, been looking for an engineers that will do it so the timberwolf blades come as thet do when new, slightly concave they seem to take a better chip and last a bit longer between sharpenings. Nice strategically placed protective glasses!
  3. Interesting attachment cheers Yorkshireman! I'll definaltly think twice befroe felling any trees in Poole Harbour in March-July!
  4. you did well felling those in 2 minutes - excellent job
  5. You'll know when we arrive, the place will go very dark as Little Joe casts a dull shaddow upon the place!....

  12. Theres no consistancy this year, lots of peaks and troughs one week were getting loads of enquiries next week the phone is dead. Hopefully the lower mortgage rates will give poeple a bit more £ in their pockets to spend on maintaining their trees!

  14. Great all round trousers for general outdoorsy type stuff and strong as 10 strong things!! bit tight round the ankles though struggle to go over the Hiax!
  15. They were replaced long ago mate! If your an owner user I think the timberworf 150 is a great machine (depending on the type of work) The jensens are much better built and easier to work on imo, also as both 6inch machines the Jensed handles 6inch timber a lot better even with duller blades.
  16. I'll be the one wearing leathers and a blonde wig....
  17. and thats before you've picked up a flat file.....
  18. Cutting corners and chunks out of poles it seems! Bad news
