  1. I can not argue with that, but but but but.......
  2. Working at the bottom of a steep slope, so nicely sheltered. Watched two trees blow over during lunch. Shame we were not sheltered from small amount of rain. Landrover back to swamp mode.
  3. Given the nature of forestry work, is the tank on the back not a little exposed ?
  4. That is the second time i have seen it, and it still gives me the colly wobbles.
  5. I started mine last month, so far so good. Nothing difficult, and i am enjoying the micro teaching, but i still have another 35 weeks to go. Just found out that i have my technical standards course next month, so hopefully be Lantra approved by Crimbo.
  6. They generally grow up from the ground.
  7. Would that be the purveyors of everything in Redruth.
  8. It is too clean, go and get dirty. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  9. Nope, just bog standard hooks.
  10. Have you got a Speedy near your. I have had a few from them that were condemed for lifting and failed loler. They are fine for skidding, and i got 3 for a tenner.
  11. I like mine, it has been very reliable with no problems. Running mine with a 13" bar and full chisel chain, yee haa.
  12. Who was it that say said ' dance like nobody is watching' I think that it applies here.
  13. The older 200t's had the pointless foam breathers, that were possibly the most ineffective breather ever designed. The later ones had the white breathers on a short black tube.
  14. It is made from wood, but i am guessing that you would like to know what species: No idea, but it is definitley a softwood.
  15. Volume, as it does not change, unlike weight.
  16. Use your silky with gloves, reduces the amount of hand slips particulary when putting the saw in its scabard. It also gives your brain that extra milisecond to move your hand before the saw has cut through the glove.
  17. At a guess it was rigged to stop the branches bouncing down the slope into the house below. Good stuff, but i second the use of slings rather than cross loading krabs.
  18. Yep works fine, interesting article.
  19. Woo hoo, somebody with a tractor that looks more knackered than mine. Mid Norfolk tractors are a mine of usefull information and spares Mid Norfolk Tractors
  20. Now is the best time if year to prune them. At other times they can bleed to death. I would be mire inclined to split the tree into 1/3 or 1/4's, and prune each section consectatively over the next 3-4 years. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  21. That is the combo that i am using at the moment. Need to make sure that you milk the gecko well before you put the SJ on. It works well, and i have only scared myself a couple of times. I have been using for six months and i love it. But i still have not graduated to a one handed decent yet, that day is getting closer though. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  22. What is drop box ? Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk. Check ALL the simple things first.
  23. Looks good, but how Much
  24. It is not just woodland owners who have unrealistic expectations, home owners are joining there ranks. Customer today was convinced that there 10 Laylandii were worth £1000
