  1. Dont suppose you have accomodation of any description do you?
  2. We did that, but with a cherry lump into the back of our old hilux. Cant find pictures but heres the video of us unloading it! We just tied one end of the rope to the lump and another to a bigger lump on the ground and just drove forward. Was a big old piece! Front wheels popped up when we felled it into the back [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4p6davERQQ]YouTube - Unloading Hilux The Correct Way![/ame]
  3. Dont forget the vapour from petrol is flamable. Use diesel as its a much slower burner. Glad your still with us mate, sounded nasty!
  4. Same here. Still known to get singed eyebrows and arm hair every now and again though
  5. If its just a couple cuts, and they made me a nice cup of tea throughout the day, then i wouldnt charge extra. If its alot more work, or they have been a PITA of a customer, then anything from £40 upwards.
  6. I cant be doing with anything smaller than a ms341 or 361. Hate the 260.
  7. Prune when the moneys right and use a chainsaw
  8. Im confused
  9. Probably see you there then Pure carnage lol
  10. Do you go to riphay scuffle?
  11. If its registered as agri, then you get free road tax. You still have to display a tax disc, but its free. I dont know about motorway useage.
  12. Haha, heard that a few times when i say i got arm pump "you shouldnt get that, you climb trees all day" They are lovely bikes. Il stick to my kxf for now, shes alright
  13. Nice, a 2011 one? There really nice, wish i could ride a 250 2stroke, i just cant hold onto them lol
  14. Dig deep and buy a stihl ms200t They go for silly money on ebay, go to a dealer if i were you. You should be asked to show proof of having cs39 to be able to buy a top handle. But i never have been so dont worry about it.
  15. Erm, are you blind!? Tis gotta big hole init!
  16. How comes your selling? Going to the darkside that is the 4stroke? lol Got a mate after one, will tell him about this one.
  17. Really depends on what job were doing. Hedge trimming all day, or felling, can use atleast 5litres. But then little take downs might only use 2litres.
  18. Just what i was going to ask, i thought everyone aquired there cones from the side of the road
  19. I post about half the posts i type out, unless ive had a drink in which case anything goes
  20. My thoughts exactly, nothing i can do personally to help the situation so no point in worrying. What will be, will be....
  21. Looks like a slightly beefed up 192t...
  22. Not free climbed outside of work since i was a kid really, was always climbing them as a youngster though, and building tree houses. Took a walk in an old woodland i used to play "man hunt" in as a kid the otherday and my tree house is still there nearly 10years on I often free climb at work though, to install my anchor point or to install a pulling line. I like it when you install a pulling line then just slide back down the pulling line to the ground
  23. Cider worked for me, but avoid turning to drink. As its a down hill spiral which i found out...
  24. No but just turn the fuel pump up

It contained: Large handsaw Smaller foldable handsaw Tree book Stihl timbersports kit bag Keyring Pen 2 chainsaw chains Stihl chain rivetting tool and some tie straps to go with it Chainsaw gloves I think that was it, its out in the shed and im doing this off the top of my head. Once again, big thanks to Mick. Now how do i pay?
