    Your covering letter should contain the points that the employer is wanting in their job discription, and how your previous experience will achieve these points. Don't actuatly lie, but there is no harm in streeching it. Good luck

    If anybody wants a few of the tiny rivets to join broken tape, the nice man a Gadd sent me hundreds, and i will never use them all, just let me know. P.S. they test the patients of a saint to fit, but given the cost of tape refills it is worth the effort.

    I would not worry about terminology too much, everybody uses different terms for the same things. Asking for 6' logs would be a good start, and you will get about 20 m3 on a lorry, which will translate to somewhere between 12-18 tonnes depending on moisture content, and species. When you are buying i would stick to volume as this is a constant and does not change. To work out volume use: Pie* D2/40000*L D2= diameter squared L= Length At some point you will get taken for a ride, so learn from it, we have all been there so don't worry all the best

    Silky Masaru, 6 years old, and still as sharp as the day i brought it. It has to be sharpened at regular intervals, but it was £45 well spent.

    Most of our environmental laws come from EU law, which we can not scrape even if we (the governement) wanted to, with out massive fines. Are we sure about the facts, or is this more scaremongering generated by the tabloids (i.e. straight bannanas, ice cream, and our nobil sausage) ?

    How are you finding the black and red Marlow ? Have you tried using a tag line wrapped once or twice around a branch below you to reduce the amount of swing. It does slow proceeding down abit, but it means that you do not have to worry about close building etc. when large lumps are flying.

    To selectively fell 260 m3 of unpopular poplar 12 days. Extraction so far on flat but very wet ground 32 m3 in 3 1/2 days using the mighty nuffileld 10/60. Ruts on the access track are now too deep for the afore mentioned tractor and it keeps getting stuck, and now waiting for digger to clear track. i have now sold on part of the timber to someone else with the equipment to extract in the wetter conditions. I will loose out but the estate that owns the wood is happy as they in the long run will get more money. I am not a hi tec outfit, and run the forestry on a very small budget, but i means that i get free firewood to sell on (about 30 m3 a year). My advice, be flexable, and do not be afraid to get help in as circumstances change.

    Good work, and some interesting points. Did you make a guesstamation about how much pulling power you needed to lift the limb off the house, or was it experience ? Out of interest, does anybody over the pond wear chainsaw trousers (pants) or do you all wear chaps ?

    I can here the squeals of protest from here. i think you have tested the limits of the machine, but what are you going to do to top that ?

    If it runs and parts are readyly available it looks like a reasonable deal. You do not buy a land rover for cheap motering, you buy it so you can go most places and not get stuck. There are alot of land rover snobs out there, who only want expensive shiney parts for their land rover so that they can show off at the office. Rant over

    I have had a thoe 13t four about 4 years now. The only thing that i have had to do to it is grease the main shaft. Nothing has ever broken, and it still works as well as the day i got it. I have modified it so that it can be operated one handed, and hold the log with the other, otherwise i can not safely split 3' lenghts.
