  1. Yep, i hardly ever use one, just on fruit tree pruning maybe.. but then i often go for the loppers. I was speaking to a NPTC assesor, who was assesing some guys who work for a large company down here. That company had banned all employess from using handsaws/silkys
  2. Im no mechanic, but always have a go at fault finding when something goes wrong. I just remember k.i.s.s (keep it simple stupid) Start with the most basic of things, like really basic... Really hope thats your problem sorted mate
  3. Tree Man Tom

    Hahaha

    I once bought a bday card for a mate with similar wording. Good find tom
  4. ive had a broken hook on my hiax for about a year now. Just do my laces up the best i can, it dosnt cause a problem.
  5. diesel and a blower.
  6. I was out picking a mate up from a night out at 2am over the weekend, i was in my vito and got pulled as a white van being around at that time of night rasied suspision. They checked me out and let me on my way. Guess its good to see them doing something for a change.
  7. on the bbc news channel now
  8. Haha the mog is awaiting collection. Its not my place to say who bought it, but its been sold We will probably never know exactly what went on with the stag.
  9. Sounds about right to me Shame you missed out on the mog mate, seemed to sell very quicky
  10. Hears the article in our local paper. The Exmoor Emperor is dead (From Somerset County Gazette) The say he was shot by a licensed person, yet the the stag was found dead at the side of a road. Id imagine if being shot by a licensed person then they would at least dispose of the animal properly. Im all for hunting, and maybe there was a genuine reason behind it all that the media havnt covered, who knows. Was a mighty fine animal though.
  11. Trousers are only designed to stop a chain with your finger taken off the throttle, this is only on smaller saws. An 088 will cut straight through trousers with out a struggle. I would say what you have experienced is the norm, and you have been mistaken about the amount of protection trousers offer
  12. I hope we have no snow, and it isnt very cold. As for me its just a major inconvinence! I wont have my landy this year, to play in, i mean help others. Snow means time off work which is no money, then my dad has a plant nursery and cold snowy nights just leads to lack of sleep and worry weather the plants will survive the night!
  13. hahahaha thats brilliant!
  14. Cutters facing the wrong way. But how???
  15. does the route consist of busy main roads? If not id not worry about a legit vechile, just something that runs and does the job will do
  16. Normally use the green stihl 2stroke oil (changed from using red stihl oil and noticed a deffienant improvmant in saw performance) Then just cheap chain oil from the local farm supplies.
  17. Not in my vito
  18. Me neither. Well its in the garage being fixed atm. But i know off the top of my head it isnt the case for me
  19. Pictures man!
  20. Mad isnt it mate. We've just discovered we had 2000gallons of red diesel stolen out of our winter heating tanks. They were filled up at the end of last winter and well we kinda forget about them over the summer, and dont look at them again until the cold weather starts. Went to check all the heaters and everything this week to find it had all gone! Theiving scum.
  21. Really?
  22. I wouldnt like to have a load of oak on its own. When i sold firewood a couple years ago each load comprised of a mixture of seasoned ash and oak roughly 50% of each. Customers loved it.
  23. Yep i do that to. Did it on my cs32 test and the examiner was pleased to see me doing it.
  24. Anyone on here going to watch or even ride there this weekend? Im going to watch on sunday, going to be awsum! Some of you may know that last year the main race was red flagged as the was a huge crash on the start. A friend of mine Ty, was badly injured in that crash and spent nearly 2months in hospital, most of that time in a coma. Well hes back this year to race! He's a true inspiration to alot of motocross riders, including myself. So going to go support him For those of you that have never been, i cant recommend it highy enough.
  25. They usually wear ear plugs. To hot for muffs! The discussion about the way they put there gobs in often comes up on here in relation to programes such as axemen. Sure somebody will reember the reason for it.
