Tree Man Tom

Sorted! Wish we had abit of luck like that. Nice chip truck to

Just abit of a heads up really, will be looking to buy in a load of hardwood at the begining of the new year. Thought id put this thread up now so i can see whats about Ive got plenty of oak to sell next winter, but i want something to mix in with it. Ash would be nice... Im located in wellington, somerset. Any names/numbers will be much apprechiated

gensetsteve will be your man to ask, im sure he will be along in abit.

id still restore it if i had time though, just something to look at more than use...

Motivation for me is to improve... you can always improve. Probably boils down to money though, simply because im dying to be my "own boss" so saving my money, and building my knowledge up so i can go it alone one day

Im putting off buying a big saw, which will be an 066, (or 660 if thats what the call them now) until they come with the new caps. People say they dont like the stihl caps, but i think there alot better than "normal ones" i always need a combi to undo them, espechally the oil cap. Never had a problem with the new caps breaking or coming off up in the tree

Counting down the days till i get her back now... Not looking forward to the bill though ohwell, such is life

I call them 020's to, only been using them a couple years. We had a college kid come on with us for the day, i shouted down and asked for the 020, he didnt know what i meant. I said, you know, the top handle! He said we only got an ms200t, not an 020 Daft bugger, needless to say he only lasted 2 days.

5p, 10p, 5p, 10p

What do you do with the "old" ones?

Elderflower champagne! Mother used to make it... always came out at xmas. Bloody strong stuff God knows what she used to put in it!

ms341, only 2005 model Runs as good as it did the day i bought it!

Dam! I want that!!

Man i bet you miss your mog, just look at it Still, your new set up is looking good. Did you manage to souce a remote winch control thingy ma jig?

My cousin drives the bakery van down this way, going into all the building sites and trading estates. Pops into mine on the way back to the shop now and again and unloads any left over cakes, mmmmmm cakesss

Id have the landy, but the contents of the bakery in the cab ready for lunch

Cheers ed, only reason i asked is a chap down by me has got one for producing woodchip. He seems happy with it, and i thought it looked good but i have nothing to compare it to, im no expert... Nigel Dunn Wood Chipping Service

Some people cable tie the throttle when milling... I assume that saw is tommers, and he mills timber as you know. Dosnt really help you i know.... lol

Mmmmm firewood and chainsaws, ooo and tommers landrover Looks good being able to split into logs on site, saves handling it twice

Well said that man

As a "son", i was brought up the same way you were, let loose on machines as soon as i could reach pedals and leavers. You learn some things the hard way, you hurt yourself and learn not to do it again. I used to go off and build "dens" in trees and woodlands, yes i used to fall out the tree, or i used fall in the stingers, but i learnt... by doing all this i gained alot of common sense for things in life. My dad didnt teach me many "life skills" i just used to help him all the time, learning stuff for myself. If i wanted to learn something new, id go out of my way to learn it myself. What im getting at is that i taught myself alot of life skills, so you just do what you want to do with your son mate. He will learn for himself, or ask you if he wants to learn something. I thank my dad so much for letting me do what i did when i was a nipper, your son will do the same in years to come in sure. If hes happy, thats all that matters! It abit of a waffle what i just said, hope you get the jist of what im saying lol

For those who use ear plugs, do you use some that are attached together via a "cord"? If you just use plugs as they are, do they fall out or get flicked out? Ta

I lived in one for 8years. There not bad, sure its not a house but it keeps you dry and warm (if you wrap up enough!) and no im not part of the travling community!
