  1. hve used husky since 1985 and have only had this problem once. This was with my current 372xp, where the bolts on the dogs keeps coming loose. never had it on another husky saw.
  2. 1 L200 van (fully com) 1 entec ch25ph chipper 1 rayco rg25 grinder. all covered for a year with NFU £430.00. was £490 last year. Can't complain at that. Also have public liability with them. Great service. was an initial issue about felling trees over 10m high. But I got it in writing that I was covered felling any size tree. Great service. Had a small claim on the van which was settled with no trouble.
  3. looking for a 70 -90cc chainsaw to run my lewis winch. MUST have inboard clutch, like for eg 372xp. (I know a lewis winch will run on any sprocked, but prefer this type) Am at the moment using my 372, and need something similar. Not bothered about a bar/chain or clutch cover. Anything considered as it won't get much use. But it MUST start and run ok
  4. 16th of may was a sad day. Just found out that the best singer in heavy rock had died. I grew up listening to Dio, in bands like Rainbow and Black Sabbath. If you've never heard him sing, you don't know what your missing. Rest in peace Ronnie.
  5. Live in National Park and it's always been 6 weeks. Dos'nt really matter too much as they always reply in good time
  6. Is it 6 weeks notice or am I wrong and its 8 weeks notice?
  7. contact the LPA, they will send you a form to fill in. Within 6 weeks they must tell you whether or not they have no objection as to what you propose. If they have no objection, your ok.
  8. Thanks for advice, will give winch a miss
  9. Have learnt a thing or two from the forum's recently. However, I never thought I'd be asking exactly how do you identify. heron cr.p form any other bird cr.p?
  10. I have the chance to buy a trewhella (monkey) winch. I used one in the early 1990's at college; and boy was it a beast. Pulled far more than the biggest tirfor. Now, I have not seen the winch, but the bloke wants £250 for it. comes with 7/8ths wire rope. Does this sound too much. Apparently, the thing is capable of pulling up to 10 tons. Also have read a couple of threads on arbtake about them being dangerous. Are they anymore dangerous than a tirfor?, as I can't remember how the thing worked when I last used one (1990's)
  11. Like other comments, use it's appearance as an indication that the tree is already stressed by other causes.
  12. Having thought about it, i think the heron thing is possible. The trees were near a river. Now, they arn't many herons up here, but I often see one on this stretch of the river. They was also a couple of dead frogs on the ground, and the frogspawn was on the top of a large horizontal limb. Just the place to take a meal
  13. How does This explain the frogspawn on stuck to the top of the branch? It was not just the odd bit, but a whole clump.
  14. Todays job was to crown raise and thin a horse chestnut and a sycamore. In the garden was a pond. About 40ft up the sycamore I found a dead Frog. On the top side of one of the Horse chestnut limbs I thought I saw some interesting fruit bodies. However, upon a closer look they turned out to be frogspawn. Have never seen this before. Has anyone else seen it.
  15. local stone. Was old dry stone wall, before I rebuilt it. Yes, odd stone sticking out. Called a 'through' up here, as it goes through the whole width of the wall. Based in wensleydale, north yorks
  16. Here's a wall I did for myself a few years ago. About 6ft tall and 60ft long. Not dry stone, but it took a hell of a long time to do
  17. keep in touch with old clients who have taken chip in the past. I usually give it away to old clients. Last week I gave a load away and got a dozen very good sausages from the old client:thumbup:
  18. Since i wrote post, have cleaned all terminals with wd40. I also cleaned the "thing" you mentioned. Will see how it goes next week
  19. I have a entec ch25ph, the one with the 25hp Kohler engine. Have had it 5 years with no real problems. Just recently, when you turn on the chipper, the rollers will not go round. Nither forward or reverse. This has happened about 5 times over the last month, and has never happened first thing in the morning. Always part way through the day. You have to turn off the chipper and try again. Eventually, after a few attempts the thing will work ok. Once they start going round there is no further problems, until chipper is turned off again. Nothing to do with filter, oil level, reset button, or engine revs being too low. Think it may be electrical. Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem may be
  20. 4 plum 1,2,3 look's like a larch (photo taken summer), but could do with better picture of foliage
  21. There is a company in ipswich acting as a dealer. If they arn't CE marked, does that mean it will be illegal to sell them over here?
  22. Am thinking of buying one of these Welcome to Lewis Winch what are your opinions of these. Already have tirfor, but think this a good looking thing and would be very useful. Posted question a few days ago about lewis winch, but little response.
  23. has anyone used one of these winches? are they any good? seem pretty useful tools
  24. Think deer man is right. If you are Limited, you will be employed by the company. I had to take out employers liability for the lad who works for me and also for myself, because I'm limited
  25. Like the idea of chipping x-mas trees for charity. Yes it is recycling, but I don't think it can be called environmentally friendly. It would be better for the environment if everyone left their tree in their garden to rot. I have a chipper and use it a lot, for convienience, not because it's 'green'. Think of all the fumes that are produced, together with the manufacture of oils, petrol/diesel, bearings, tyres, filters etc. All this has eventually to be disposed of. Then you have to get the chipper to the trees, using your vehicle. I know it's slightly off topic and I'm as guilty as anyone else. I also know that noboby on the thread has called it 'environmentally friendly', but felt I had to say it
