does any one fold trees in tight spots. idont know if that is what you call it. if tree is twice the hieght of garden but there is a landing zone(only 5 priceless statues and a gazibo)nip up the tree and put a line on.throw that into nieghbours with groundie.come half way take gub out towards nieghbours and cut enough to hold enough to go with a pull. put another line on below felling cut and give to groundie in garden. nip down and fell into landing zone. with a bit of pulling either way hey presto folded tree in garden. only works on chewy stuff. never had bottle to do it on anything over 30ft. its only benificial when tall and skinny to save on sawdust.

wellingtonia me thinks, i just know it was tricky bark. about 30 feet round base and made one big thump when it hit the deck.82 yrs old it was.

it will match your courtesy kilt, and you will need handsfree for the haggis catching mate

my contract phone gives me free calls to orange, so you could get another cheap phone, plug in ear peaces and away you go. the beauty with my headsets is that it drowns everything out and you can basically whisper to each other, not that you have to. there is also a muffler button. if i am in the tractor and worker is cutting like mad, he can hit a button so he can hear me and i cant hear all the noise at his end. but i can still relay messages to him. we wear them just for about everything now. even when someone greasing mog or doing maintenance i can walk all around farm and have a yap. you get the jist

My ones are about 4 years old now, they were very high spec at the time. I never got a box because i got them second hand. I would go on the web, i even see argos does them. The earmuffs slide straight into the 2 prong bits on the stihl hats, personally i dont like the stihl hat. there was a stand at the apf on the right just as you went in beside the monster chipper. they were doing them built into helmets for around 150plus vat. I paid 350 for mine. They have broke down twice, but just a fault in the wire where it had kinked. 20quid to the local tv repair guy and it was as good as new.

You are doing the right thing, let the lawyer deal with it and try and move on, it is hard to do because it eats away at you. I had a mentalist on the phone saying i stole his fence. I took down some bushes for a guy(JIM) and there was a pumped old fence amongst it. they didnt know it was even there so he asked if i could take it away. so i through it on the trailer. This was the nieghbour phoning 10 days later to have a go. i told him to take it up with the first guy. long story short, he couldnt get anywhere with jim because he told him point blank to go and xxxx himself and closed the door. so it took him 10 days to call me to blame. I laughed and told him to do what ever he wanted. 5 minutes in the police station the next day and that was that. the police didnt care, they have enough to do. that was months ago, havent heard a squeak.Lawyers letter straight away to show him you aint a pussy. As i said yesterday i was getting bumped for 5k, lawyer got onto him yesterday with recorded delivery and the cheque is in my account today. lets hope it clears.

i have a smooth coated fox terrier as well, we used to live in an old gatehouse with a monster log burner. the pointer would give up and go and lie in a draft. but the foxy would lie there panting with steam coming off it. the only thing that would shift it would be a spark, but you had to smell the burning fur first.

I bought a roofmount last year, and straight away the comunication with groundstaff was a nightmare, the lad i got the tractor from had helmets made up with built in headsets and mikes. The difference was amazing, not even in tractor work but everything. we use them all the time. Climbing with them is excellent. like most i am the boss, but i am usually up the tree. i am not one for shouting on site because i hate that. but being able to comunicate all the time is so much more productive and safe. Especially when you have someone new out. Even reversing into driveways or sending someone to get something from the van, no more wandering back saying i couldnt find it, you just instruct them what to do from the other side of the house or site. All in all one of the best buys i have ever made.

you must have picked up on my comment on the toddler paint insident posted yesterday, either that you are a psychic. well done anyway mate. i think the border is the most popular between cutters and gamies. everywhere i go with kumba(single mother terrier) she always causes a fuss. or she dissapears chasing anything with a pulse, and i spend most of the day looking for her, but she always comes back totally delighted with herself. how can you be mad.

border terrier mother. we thought it was my gsp that fathered it, but when they came out black we were sure it was my mates springer. we gave all the pups away as i have 3 dogs(wanted to keep one but mrs said no as she was expecting) but i saw one the otherday and it looks like a minature long haired pointer. cracking looking dog. really bouncy and fun but still had that border have a go spirit.

any ideas what made these. we thought we knew at first, then we changed our mind when they were born, now they are 6 months old, i am back to my original horny culprit.

i hope this works.

thanks peter, will give it a bash, almost stocker, but not quite .oh by the way, three cheers for fergus the lawyer, got lovely cheque in this morning for my 5k.
