    Was walking up to a conifer hedge i was about to cut out, along some rough ivy covered ground. Then stepped on a rusty manhole cover which had completly disintagrated but was covered by ivy so you couldnt see it. Down i went, was about 8ft deep i was lucky not to injure my self or have a running saw in my hand.

    We did have a chipper before, a pto greenmech one but because it was tractor mounted we couldnt take it far from college, least now we can tow this one wherever we like. I feel privaliged to use the kit we have, there putting us through nptc mewp ticket soon, in training for it at the moment. Also got my chipper ticket before christmas. Which college you go to mate?

    Things like this just make me mad. I havnt heard of any thefts around my area recently although today i was informed that theres a silver transit van with irish number plates hanging around at 1/2 oclock in the morning. Not hard to figure out what there up to, need to keep my wits about me the next week or so.

    Crikey I remember we had one numpty when i first started college who thought a visor wouldnt be cut by a saw, praps i should send this to him as a reminder. Glad the chaps ok

    The chap looks like hes a jack of all trades. Well you say it could pull a monster chipper but when i saw it, it was pulling a tiddly greenmech chipper, looked abit out of proportion lol

    Sure is cannington college my lecturer is mike cullen, nice bloke. I dont know who had the final say on the purchase but he seems happy enough with having a new chipper and by going by the feedback you guys have given me it seems like they have made a good choice. Apparently its all they could afford after buying a M.E.W.P aswell only a few weeks ago. Tom

    I think my lecturer is a top bloke, just everyone likes to have abit of freindly banter on my course so thought i could get some feed back of here to pass onto him, and if its negative feed back then just have a laugh about it with him. My question wasnt meant to taken in that way, apoligies. Tom

    If its not the springs then it deffiently sounds like the rollers need a "edge" putting on them, like has already been mentioned. Saying that with a good set of springs it should still pull something like that through, hmmm...

    The college i study at have just purchased a Timberwolf TW125PH, just wondering if there any good? any pros & cons? Just gives me abit of ammo to chuck at my lecturer about his purchase Thanks in advance, Tom

    It all makes sense now, its true when they say a picture (video) paints a thousand words, looks like it could be a good investmant when the time comes

    Cant help you there sorry mate. Dont mean to derail the thread to much but if anybody needs somewhere to tip chip, dump cordwood, or store equipment i have some secure land in somerset, just off junction 26 of the m5 if anybody needs it, just ask
  16. Tree Man Tom
    I agree, sounds like an inside job. Cant trust nobody these days.

    4th pic looks great, all holding the same stance with matching helmets. Would make a great company photo that. May have to try it myself

    I noticed today the councils and the college groundsman all out on the mowers around here, it does seem earlier, but it did smell nice

    Think ive read this before on here somewhere, also a mate i have in motocross told me that often motocross riders will say run it in as if you stole it, basically just straight in at the deep end. But they do change pistons every few hours, so might not apply so much to saws. Last 2 saws i bought i threw straight in at the deep in, and touch wood there fine

    I've heard stories of an australian climber who made his own out of old firefighting water hose

    I think its been replaced with a programme about wendy richards, who passed away today. Thats what my tv guide is telling me anyway, i was quite looking forward to seeing how "other people work"
