The trouble is finding someone else. Many around here are local farmers, and are just starting lambing.

It was 'word of mouth' to him that it had to be finished and invoiced by end of March.
-
Trouble is, he hasn't finished any of the fencing, just got posts and strainers in.

I'm halfway through a planting and fencing contract. The job has to be finished and invoiced by the end of March. I am doing the planting and I've sub contracted the fencing. I am being constantly being fobbed off with one excuse or another by the fencer. He's halfway through the job and is hardly ever on site and even when he is, it's only half a day or so. I don't want to let my client down, but at this rate, the fencers not going to be finished in time. Can I impose a late completion fine or something half way through the job? First time I have used him. Anyone any ideas.

I got a new one for mine a couple of years ago. Think it was around £300. Including fitting from orange plant. If I were you, I'd try and do a deal that they fix it, if you buy it.

I've a ch25. Had it over 10 years. No plans to change it, as it will chip all day, is light to move, and has been fairly reliable. More power than the tw125. Great machine

Just bought a 'heavy duty' tarpaulin off the internet. When it arrived, the packaging said its guaranteed to be waterproof for '18 months'. Don't think it will last as long as the one I've been borrowing off my dad. Used it when we went on holiday in 1981, and it's still 100% waterproof.

Put the stake in first. If you can get a stake in, you can always get a tree in. But if it's hard going and you put tree in first, you must get struggle with stake. Don't plant in lines unless asked, it's a pain and slower. If you have to screef, put a stake in a bare patch of soil, or in an area easier to screef. Make sure you plant all trees on same side, keep ties tight. Looks a lot better. Take a look down the guard before you tighten ties, as the tree can sometimes get caught on inside of tie. Good luck

Made my day to be honest.

So, I went last week to price up a few jobs. Furthest one away was about 17 miles. Small white beam, good shape, nothing wrong with it. Told this to the client who offered me some petrol money for taking a look at the job. I said no, as I was passing nearby anyway. Anyway, he must of found out where I live, and when I got home later in the week, there was a box of shortcake biscuits, hand delivered to the wife, as a thankyou. Still some decent folks out there.

wearing a filter facemask when chainsawing
daveindales replied to forestgough's topic in General chat
Take a look at the 'one reason I use aspen' thread. It can't do you any good breathing in 2 stroke fumes. I use aspen In hedge trimmers. As far as dust masks are concerned, I use mine because you just don't know what damage dust does to you. Why take The risk. And by the way, it doesn't matter how sharp your saw is, it will still produce dust. Just try cutting dry dead Dutch elm. However I do agree with mick on one thing, I've been in the industry since 1985 and don't know anybody with farmers lung. I'd just rather not take any risks myself. -

Anyone who doesn't take dust exposure seriously needs to wake up. I use p3 masks quite a lot. Especially when ringing up certain woods in windy conditions. -
Whist working at Royal lytham, I once had a mate hit on the head by a golf ball. One of the funniest things I ever saw. golfer came up and wasn't a bit concerned about his head, but wondered if he saw where his ball had gone after it hit his head. At the time, blood was pouring from his head and dripping off his chin. Hit him just above the eye. He had a helmet on, but visor was up

I was just wondering what would happen if the worst came to the worst. If you take a look at the back of the pocket (bit confusing as photo is upside down) you can see where the metal has come away. Am guessing it is weldable
-
Yes, your probably right. Welded and bolted. So, how do you change them?
-
I've taken a photo of the pocket Chris. But it's upside down (bloody iPad) let me know what you think
-
Mines defiantly bolted. Can feel the bolts at back of flywheel. Can also see the outside bolt. Don't forget that mine is a late entec. May 2001 and is younger than some of the first timberwolf so. Was wondering if they are the same as present day timberwolf pockets
-
Was wondering, are entec blade pockets replaceable. It is bolt on. If so, is it the same as timberwolf ones. The chipper is a 2001 entec ch25
-
It shouldn't make any difference. Stumps are rarely to be found on the fairways. And I've never seen one on a green yet. Keep to the rough where possible.
-
I rest mine on the steering wheel of the van. Have done this for 20 years. Ideal if you've only a 20" bar or less. Does take bits out of the steering wheel, but what the hell, it's an old van anyway. Really comfortable, as you do it sat in the seat.
-
Shocked. Terry came across as a great bloke. Great DJ, and will be missed by me and millions of others.
-
I don't find the product too small. The one I have produces what I would describe as kindling, and or very small logs. It will be marketed as kindling, not logs. I thought about separating thicker and thinner bits and bagging logs and kindling, but in practice it's a bit of a pain.
-
I was lucky. Got a £1000 grant from my local district council, when I bought mine. Used it all day today on fairly straight ash.
-
I'm storing the bags with a view to selling next year. Not got to the stage of burning on my own stove yet. Still too wet
-
What version do you have? I have the fast tow one.
