  1. Seems like a good price to me, what make and model was it?
  2. Stormy and wild here, snow, sleet and rain too!
  3. Do whatever you want to do to make it easier, a small vice that's demoing able would work a treat, I know guys with them on their Chippers.
  4. I've never heard of that, I'm still using Aspen, I doubt I would change now. What's the Motomixs selling points?
  5. STIHL 0261 with 15" bar is my advice
  6. Make Hay on the sunny days and be bored on days like this with money in the bank! And find a good cafe, that always helps
  7. Cracking finish as always Eddie! What do you do with the mulchings?
  8. Bungee choke fix from day 1 with mine! It would jump forward when working hard.
  9. If Hillbilly is the definition of a very well thought out all made machine, then I agree with you
  10. Front left tyres on mogs and tractors wear due to the road camber. If I've ever had a speed wobble it's the tyres.
  11. The cold may of played a part in all the poor desicions made in the tree but wouldn't affect the timber . Offset anchor, wrong place for 2nd tie in and not cutting through the wood fast enough. I can just see you stretching uncomfortably lopsided with your wee top handle! Bet your top cut was Infront of the bottom too! And since you were stretching your undercut was at a downward angle, so leaving that little strip of compression wood that lead to the tear! If there's a bit of weight either match it with super fast cutting(or behind the bottom cut. You know I love you Jimbo
  12. You should say ' boom boom ' after 1 liners like that
  13. Not every job is a small prune! If they get 3 large beeches down over a back road, they need to know the contractor is capable of getting things done quickly. If you are a small company feeling hard done to, get yourself some finance, buy the kit, take the risk! Jobs are there for the taking:)
