As per the "Is Forestry in serious trouble?" thread - in serious trouble I would say. Dire is putting it mildly.

His opinion is gospel, no arguement. He IS right, all the time.

Nice to see that. Am I right in thinking that it's a danarm in drag which is actually a mac in drag ?!

Funny how Ayatrollerhusqvarvni is absent from this thread! Now I've said it!

I'm too scared to watch it! We shall see but I SO hope they do it

Lol :thumbup1: Eh?! Re-read the thread! Japanese precision engineering vs Swedish popular Junk! You just carry on emptying the lake with the leaky limpet shell. Clowns; well yeah, we're having the last laugh as we keep on cutting wood while the Husqvarnas go on vacation to the docking station yet again. Ayatrollerhusqvarvni will be haha

Ah! Spring has sprung! Hibernation over!

Hmmm. Got a sat nav, map reading skills reduced. Got parking sensors, get in other car forgetting it hasn't got them, ooops. Likewise parking aids, yer gonna lose the skill of looking around you as you start to rely on a screen.

3.0 6 pot?

Same.

Same.

Hahaha

Took the words right out of...

No email, just verbal: Told the subby to crack on...

Well he thinks a child will more likely try to climb by inserting foot into 75mm wide mesh square than 50mm. I even went measured children's shoes! Not a horsey type; just wanted mesh taller than stock fence/ pig wire. The fence is merely to demarcate a boundary on some land he's bought. There are numerous entry points over walls elsewhere if folks really want to trespass on a field of nothing.

Yep, and he said continue...

Sure: Hampton steel vs Redbrand from fenceline.co.uk

No not cheaper, on the contrary. Will dig out the pics later. The image (2 different ones remember) was always "for illustrative purposes only". He asked for horse netting, that's what he got. He freely admits that even the netting in the pictures looks vastly different in real life. FTR all his emails quote what time mine were received in hours, minutes and seconds!

Subcontracted a fencing job out. Job has been done absolutely superbly. The fence is 1.5m high with 1.2 horse netting attached. Customer chose horse netting after I sent him 2 different google images to show what horse netting looked like. At no point did he choose an exact specification of horse netting i.e BS standard, wire thickness, mesh size etc. One email from him says "horse netting as per pictures supplied"... Hmmm So we fit circa a grands worth of high quality horse netting. Customer calls by during week long job and comments that horse netting is less "meshy" than he expected but it will do and please carry on. I rx an email asking to retrofit barbed on back side of posts at top - no problem. 2 days later - another email - "you have not fitted horse netting but small gauge stock netting" I reply proving 100% otherwise. He replies, no longer mentioning "stock netting" but saying what we fitted is not what's in the pictures. The 2 pictures are different but he refuses to acknowledge this; merely provided to illustrate the look and height of horse netting. As it happens the pictures are of "non-climb" horse netting with 50mm x 100mm mesh size as opposed to what we fitted which is 75mm x 80+ mesh size (stretches to 100mm if tensioned vertically according to the supplier). He catagorically from the start only specified horse netting, not the non-climb version or any other version. Anyway he wants us to dismount the netting we've put up and re-erect the other brand. This would be a £3k exercise in itself and I'm not prepared to suck it up quite frankly. As the saying goes, I'm too old for this crap... What'ya reckon?! Cheers.

Just been to the shop and bought and demolished 3 packs of the Wild West stuff! Only 90p a pack there tho haha

Definately partial to some now and again

Flippin ansome! Love the crampon boots and ice axes.

I've had both the Stihl and the Echo. The Echo is sweeter running, lighter, better cut and much smoother than the Stihl. Wouldn't buy anything else now.

Round wood or rings / arb arisings?

Used to drive a pickup everywhere until my commute to harvesting sites just drank fuel for the sake of carrying tools and I didn't need 4wd. Got rid. Estate car saves me on average £60/week. Just have to walk a couple of hundred metres to the machines in the winter; big deal.
