    Asking this question on behalf of the boss, we are running one of these, and its a bloody good saw! It came with a 20" bar but hes wanting the biggest bar he can for it so this saws full potential can be acheived So.... Whats the biggest bar this saw will take? Where can he get one from? Cheers

    Makita 7900, top saw and cheap! But if you want to stick with more known brands and you have that much to spend id say get a ms460.

    Hand held step cut, free fall step cut, hand held sink cut, free fall sink cut, then a natural target pruning cut to finish. Thats what i had to do, and had to demonstrate each cut twice. I the only thing that caught me out was when i warmed up the 020 on the ground for my mate who was in the tree i didnt use gloves, the assesor soon picked me up on that. Good luck mate
  16. Tree Man Tom

  17. Tree Man Tom

    When i started college 2years ago we didnt have any sort of fitness test but after a few people on the course really struggled with climbing, we suggested to the tutor about doing a "climbing assesment" when they come into college to attend there student interview. They took this on board and have now started doing it. The tutors, or a older student someone like myself places a rope in the top of a 20m lime tree and then they are told to climb to the top and come back down, if you can do it and your interview goes well your on the course. If you cant climb it then they seriously consider not letting you on the course... simples

    Now usually im not a fan of these types of programmes, x factor, big brother and tv shows like that, but theres just something about britains got talent! Anyone else on here watch it? I mean i dont vote or anything but i think it just makes great family viewing.

    The day health and saftey stop us climbing, will be the day i change career.

    Just poped out and had a quick measure up for you. A rough mesurment is 20ft long, and just over 30inch in diameter. Its still lying where it was felled atm as you can see, but getting it to a hard standing is not going to be a problem, and i also have acsess to a forklift once the timbers on solid ground. Dunno if its of any use to you mate?
