  1. Don't practice on a steep bank with wind blown beech! Don't work alone. Have clear communication between workers. Have you done your windblown course? Be very carefull!
  2. Have you tried all possibilities of hose swapping around?
  3. Get a crane mate, think of the photos!!
  4. Get a micro chipper, sack the lad and never carry brash again, the chipper is never more than 5 m from the tree.
  5. Amazing yet terrifying!
  6. I'll sned out brash for the chipper with a polesaw on a hot day wearing shorts rather than put on ballistics!!
  7. I'd make him take that watch off at chipping time ! Nice bit of wood that
  8. It's been a bumper crop with us for apples, and we are a similar weather pattern to you. Very dry and hardly any rain, the Rowan trees are buckling with berries aswell. Sorry cant offer any advice mate
  9. Tbh if it saves me putting my cutting trousers on, on a hot day, I'll Silky all day .
  10. Give it a few more years and it will be a 046 or the Igland:laugh1:
  11. Zubat here
  12. He used the company motorbike to go and sign on at lunchtime !
  13. I've had the Stihl pole saws since them came out, the first ones would wear out the roller bearings on the shaft after 6 months and were expensive to replace and fix, I've had the 4 Mix 1 now for about 4 years I think, it's never given me any bother and runs like new. I use the hedge cutter head on it a lot which adds much more stress to the shaft when extended, so there is a little twist or bend in it, but that's through the abuse I give it, and it's not made for that.
  14. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/members-only/5314-tonights-arb-meal-93.html Steak n chips!!

  20. Rip Alan, sorry for your loss.
  21. So how many times have you caught your elbow on the chain of your top handle then, mounting it so high up:biggrin:
  22. Wow!! The quite an achievement, especially with everything else that's been going on in your life the last few months aswell as cutting down loads of trees!
  23. Make your log orders via your website and you receive an email with payment conformation with their address and delivery number. To make it even easier, arrange a courier service, they get the email aswell, they collect the bulk bags and deliver. You sit at home with your feet up. Simples
