Thats exactly what I'm doing all the time (pulling it up)
-
ok, about 3 years ago I bought a Willans T22 half harness, to replace my old willans T22 full body harness. The problem I have is that no matter how tight I have the harness, it always seems to work loose, and is terrible with saw hanging from it. I keep going back to my outdated, T22 full body harness, which I love. What am I doing wrong, or is it just this particular harness?

Very good, common sense post. Totally agree

Just read your update. If it's just tree planting and nothing else, you should be able to get in at least a thousand a day in reasonable going. When I was a lad we were planting around that a day and were screefing them too.

gollum's pricing is pretty good. If you can, go for 40-60cm trees. Cheaper and a lot easier to put spirals on than 60-90cm (usually). I'd avoid mulch and spray with Kerb-flo after planting, if possible. (naturally, you might have to follow the spec). Also, learn how to really put spirals on. There is a very easy way that works on trees that have a bit of clear stem. I'm not sure if anyone else uses it, but if you hold the top of the spiral with finger and thumb, you can run your other finger and thumb along the length of the spiral to oppen it up, the bottom of the spiral goes around the base of the tree, and the spiral folds naturally around the tree. My descripton of this is the best I can think of, but it's a lot quicker than wrapping the spiral around the tree, if it wont just slip over. Takes a bit of practice though.

Anyone like the new Stihl oil & petrol tank caps?
daveindales replied to Andrew Barrett's topic in Chainsaws
can't stand them. The petrol one seems to stick when you take it off. Tried swapping with another and it still does it, and the oil one is just a faffing pain. bring back the old screw type, asap. Only got them on my ms200's -
Armstrong, I believe has now admitted that he used drugs. He and any other drug cheat should never be allowed to compete in any sport again. Spare a thought for any 'drug free' cyclist who competed against Armstrong and gave 100%, and lost to a bunch of cheats. Imagine their dedication and all the thousands of honest hours training they went through.

I had it when i was about 20, a long time ago. I started with a severe stabbing pain in my left ribs (Very painful). A few days later, I got the blisters on the right hand side of my back (not too painful). That stabbing pain was the worst thing about having shingles. I was very stressed at the time, and am convinced it was brought on by the stress. I first got the pain, and rang the local doctor, who said don't come down just yet, I'm just watching the 3.15 at Kempton. This was in the days when you could just give them a ring and pop down to see them anytime, even weekends.

Best advice I could give you is get the main rotor bearing checked, check no fins are broken and check the no stress is working. Like someone else said, if everythings working ok on it, it's probably worth the money. If it needs a few repairs, then it may be a little dear.

Iv'e had my 2001 entec for at least 6 years, never had a bearing or a fin go in all that time.

How do you employers stay on the right side of the tax man?
daveindales replied to Hodge's topic in General chat
I'm not sure how the tax man can come after an employer for a genuine labour only contractors not paying his tax. If it's like you say and the odd day here and there, then it's surely the contractors responsibility to pay his tax, not yours. For example, if I was a private home owner and got a plumber in to fix a leak. I pay his invoice and it's up to him to sort his tax affairs out not me. Am no expert though. |I would ask my accountant. -
His autobiography is a good read. Came across as a decent bloke. RIP storming Norman.

Always call the harness, James (after, James Arness. Some of you older ones may remember him, gunsmoke and all). No other pet names for equipment, but we do call the 'sun', Sonia, for some reason.

Dealing with dumpy bag of waste after tree job
daveindales replied to PaddyFF's topic in General chat
As big-ammer said, chip what you can and bung the rest in the customers green bin. I thought that's what the council provide them for. -
Iv'e taken a look, but the single axle one is virtually new and £1650. I won't be carrying too much weight, so prefer the single axle one. Good quality single axle tippers are hard to come by
-
I'm thinking of getting a single axle Humbaur tipper (GVW 1500KG) Has anyone out these got any experience of these trailers.
-
an eco fan? Is it another name for Swampy (see Jeremy Clarkson, in the sun today)
-
No, not for the last 10 years. Like someone else said, have never being asked if I'm in the AA. I guess, 95% of private clients have never heard of the AA. I am CHAS registered, but only did that to satisfy a regular client.

Spent an hour walking to the hotel where John Lennon was shot (persuaded by a mate). Wish I had'nt bothered, as nothing much to look at. Poor doorman must have been asked a thousand times that day, if this was the place where John Lennon was shot

I hope UKIP get their way. The British government and not the EU should govern the influx of foreign nationals (and everything else) in this country.

An eight inch chipper might suit you, but it would be too big and too heavy for a lot of people. I'd struggle to get over these Yorkshire hills with something like that on the back and a load of chips. I love my old entec. It's a 2001 machine and chips great all day, with very little trouble. No plans to change it.

Brilliant news. Have a great relaxing xmas

A legend on TV and in astronomy, who also served his country as an RAF navigator during WW2. RIP Patrick Moore

I know its not professional but........

One thing I can't stand is people being late. Better off without that job. -
Never could get into Yes, like you, found them too prog. Richie Blackmore and Ronnie James Dio, the classic Rainbow line-up, was into them quite a big way. Now Dio's gone so no chance of seeing him 'Live'. Found they went downhill when Dio left. Was also into UFO in a big way. Doctor, Doctor please !!!
