Merry Christmas my fellow tree cutters, climbers and log men. Have a great Christmas, enjoy the little things And treasure the moments.

Davie no receipt , then no guarantee that's the way of the world. If I loose receipts then I contact the company I bought from and they send me 1 out.

I use the stopper a lot, a jockey wouldn't work for me. When I got my Cs I struggled to get it into my container, I went to my gym and asked the instructor to give me excercises to build the relevant muscles, I told him I'm trying to move a wheely bin full of bricks in gravel! He smiled. With in a month I was so much stronger and I could get Gloria anywhere!

That sounds a sure fire way to stress , bashed elbows and annoyance! I used to ramp mine into a Renault master, the boards were about 8' long, only ever fell off them once at the start! Push in, don't pull up. It wasn't a difficult task, not perfect though. Or do this!

That ditch is beautiful!

Stop giving everyone tickets for prussiking up a 20 ft straight sycamore within a 4 minute window!!! The college should place litter outside the front door of their building, alongside a pull up bar. If they pick something up and place in a bin and can do 3 pull ups, the door opens. The college will put anyone through a course, then we have to deal with the ones who will never manage the work, they are either not fit enough, not intelligent enough or just have a wrong attitude. The latter is the problem, you can train skill and fitness but attitude is the problem. We have to pick up where someone failed when they were 11. Basic manners and morals is what's missing. This job is dragging branches, chipping them and cutting bits off tree, that's It! Experience and effort builds their skill level. But if someone turns up with laces untied, not prepared for the day and is basically a little pita who feels the world owes them a favour, then no amount of tickets is going to get them a job within a small company, maybe a big 1 where they are a number. For all the rest who are nice polite hardworking people, young and old, do not fear, it will all fall into place and you will succeed in anything you try!!

It's a Pillenic battery pack chainsaw! Excellent piece of kit!

Michelins or nothing, I got 6 years out mine for the 2150. They were £3k plus vat 10 years ago

Only way to get it going is to log in guys! And I think Ted has just started the ball rolling!😄

Yes I do.

Buu an agg spec Mog and put it straight to work, that's a sprinter with chunky tyres!

i think it would be considerate and fair to Clarks to get your saws checked out properly to make sure the oilers are working, and if they are, then try another oil before ( instead of petrol which has very little similarities) before pointing the finger of blame at the suppliers. It's easy for sawdust and crud to fall in while working on site:001_smile:

So never get your trees cut because some guys in a van made a mess once! Choose who you go to, do your homework, ask about for recommendations ,the hypnotherapy at the end of your hour or so chat is a small part of the session.

Nice videos! I was at Cathedral grove when I was 14! I've to you that before. What was the reason for the first removal Reg?

That 3rd pictures makes it look like a Swiss army knife! Am amazing machine!

I remember the day my 2150 got delivered, gives me shivers now 😃

If you needed a tree looked at, would you post a thread about it on a psychologist /hypnotherapist forum and take snippets of each post and try and make sense of it through guess work and linking similarities added with your own theories ? Just saying😃 Dreams are metaphors , anytime I've had a huge realisation in life, that night I have a bonkers dream. I wake up and write it down on my phone, be quick as you can forget it. You remember dreams in reverse. Google dream interpretations and annalise your own dream. It's awesome. Get yourself to a good hypnotherapist and start your journey .

I forget the size of the big mogs! She's looking good😀

Fair bit of kit!

my circulation is rubbish. White finger, dead fingers!! Get going and I'm the ready break man, stop and my hands and feet go like ice. I've started doing a lot off cycling and now I live in the Cairngorms its a lot colder. I'm wearing £60 globes and £150 cycling boots and I'm toasty. My hands will still get cold if im not working hard, so when cold, move faster mate. I've been wearing my gloves for work, which is hard to domwhen they are £60 but after a month and a fair bit of climbing and hand balling, they are as good as new. Specialised mountain bike gloves.

Am I seeing a picture of a beardy man on the sign writing?

Stunning!
