Phone and e-mail have gone berserk the last week. Spoke to a friend who typically quotes around 9 jobs a week; he did that just yesterday and is now booked to September.

For chunks of softwood I was happy to seriously consider it. I reckon they would have dried OK with a roof. Academic now - I' not going to try; I'll stick to IBCs.
-
Is that the green truck on page 1 of this thread?
-
I agree with the few I know (!) except for the 4-spotted Chaser: I reckon Blue Darter.
-
Yes, thought about it but four panels would make a heck of a cage and then there's the issue of handling when you want some logs out of it: just opening up one side could cause an avalanche! I decided against but did seriously consider trying one for seasoning softwood.

Do you know if the batteries are interchangeable between that hedgy and the pole saw? I wouldn't be surprised either way!
-
They're dealerships, not stand alone companies so I guess the orders came from the top. Well, Daventry!
-
Who knows? I'm surprised the dealers completely shut up shop in the first place as opposed to running skeleton staffing. Short answer - not a clue.
-
Bugger!

Dog yomper, can I ask who the dealer is? The one I bought from in Kent is shut down and I know of another BJ dealer in the south west that's the same. A mate is looking to buy a tri axle trailer from them and is getting a tad impatient; I wonder if your dealer could help him. Cheers, Jon

Help needed! 064 adding a 36 inch bar
nepia replied to The Shooting Fish's topic in Maintenance help
Really? OK; I'll bow to superior knowledge. Mine's fine on 30", I just wouldn't want to try bigger. -
Help needed! 064 adding a 36 inch bar
nepia replied to The Shooting Fish's topic in Maintenance help
36" is too big for an 064 to deal with comfortably; my biggest bar is 30". Coming from both sides I could cut a 52-54" stem! -
Which corner of the country are you in? £40 for an IBC is a lot.

Love the blue and green, not the red so much. That is the kind of item to grace Giles and Henrietta's Chelsea apartment, bought at very profitable (for you) price.

I can't comment on the Stihl's chain flinging habits but I've only done it once with the Husky - on a Leyland hedge remarkably ?

I have the 536LiPT5. Brilliant. The battery gives a claimed 50 minutes cutting time. I don't know whether that's manufacturer optimism or not but I've never come close to running it down. If you estimate an average cut as taking say 5-8 seconds that's a lot of cuts. My first job with it was reducing a pair of maiden TPO'd yews; no cut bigger than 25mm allowed! The two of us cleared up in 2.5hrs and there was still half a battery left. And the saw is quite happy cutting at bar length. In design it's dead simple; slim, straight and no sticky out bits to get caught except for the hopeless branch hook protruding from below the sprocket and oil tank. Extension/retraction is via a twisting plastic collar that tightens on the ally shaft.
-
Too right. If the client won't pay for machinery he's going to get what he deserves, just not at your behest!
-
Let's get this one out of the way if necessary... are you even considering going battery powered? If so the Husky is very good.
-
I am open to being convinced. I think the leaves in the pic - not the best as admitted by the OP - are opposite. Looking at some Images it seems Osmanthus carries its leaves that way but Olearia carries them alternately. So...Osmanthus?
-
No way! ?

There were before the berries, which were small and green before they swelled and turned blue. I'd say M.japonicum myself. Typically Mahonia flowers in Feb and likely again in Nov; that's extended with climate change but two flowerings in the year is the norm.

When woodlands are similar to the fishing industry
nepia replied to Sutton's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
You do talk funny: squidgers, landbanking... I get now that the first are squizzles (I didn't know the term either) but what's the second? -
They sell them in Slovenia with 16" bars!
-
Why?

Did she have a strong scent? If so definitely Daphne and not Lilac.
