i do see your point, its a verry open question in which to ask for a quite specific answer i guess but hey steve is off to watch ice age 3 at the weekend

what gets me about the profesional stihl saws is the fact that the carb is adjusted to its standard settings and the an anti tamper cover is put around each of the jets , my ms361 had them meaning i could not adjust the carb once the saw had beded in which resulted in a trio to my local stihl dealers where they simply took them off for me and tuned my saw . bet you dont get any of that on a jonsered

my point is that a grounds man is a tree worker just like a climber , so the point of the initial thread is does being a good tree climber make him a good tree worker , there is more to being a tree worker than climbing and the skills ascociated with climbing !
-
a grounds man is a tree worke as well aint he ???

if it helps flip flops are not much cop for foot locking but my red chilli rock climbing shoes are , but then that does not help me at work !!!

so what is the difference in price betwene saws ?? i used an ms260 a few weeks ago and was really not impressed however we use husky 357xp's , i know the husky in a more powerfull saw but still felt that the still was lacking in power and seemed not to be as ergonomic . but the only husky saws i will buy are the 357xp's we dont use any other husky saw its all stihl , maybe i will look at a jonsered as well next time im looking for a saw

i have used both i would say the 150 will fill your chip box in less time as the feed rolers are a little faster and the mas of a 6 inch piece of timber is greater than that of a 4 inch piece of timber . personally i would have the 125 for domestic as its light , easy to move round by hand and you dont always need a bigger chipper but for the commercial side of things i will stick with my tw190 (sadly its not a turbo but on the bright side it does not drink fuel like a turbo . but that is only my personal oppinion

i must admit i did have a look at the M.E.W.P.S at the show !

-

-

what can a say bob it was too big for me i thought it was more your kind of job , specially with a toy fire engine !!

i have seen guys that can climb quickly and work to a high standard , i have also seen guys climb slowly and make a right mess of a tree , i think a climber needs to work at his/ her pace without rushing but most of all the climber needs to work as part of a team with the ground staff . but this is only my oppinion what gets me are the feally fast climbers that fush everything , make a mess and leave the tree in worse condition than when they started but they still feel that they are tha mutts nuts ,

i have said to the chaps that work with me to take a break when they need it and i try to take extra water with me to make sure no one goes thirsty every day last week and today i got my other half to bring out some ice creams for everyone half ay through the afternoon , its only fair to reward them for working hard in such hot weather .
