    personally if you i was looking to buy a 660 i would buy one from a local dealer that has a god reputation , also if you are not totally sure as to how "genuine" the saw that you have seen on ebay is then i would stick well clear . second hand big saws really are not worth the trouble most of the time !!

    ys the 066 was replaced by the ms660 , verry little change from the 066 , im not being rude but why buy it from Ebay ?
  5. combined tree services
    cool , i bought one of the first pairs sold by honey brothers and to be honest i found then to be crap , the fabric was way too week , but hey if they have changed the fabric then i may well get another pair , if only they did the gladiators in orange !!

    i use that harness and i love it , if your going to buy nother i would hold on a little and get the new version (when it finaly is available ) maybe jonesie knows when of if it will be out this year ??? it does seem better as it will have quick reliese leg loops and a few other bits

    well i have a fleet policy with trust and to be honest if i see so much as a penny increase this year i wil be finding another insurer nearly 4k a year to insure 2 ranger's , nissan navara, daf lorry , and my scooby is a little harsh to say the least !! oh and to top it all off to put my mog on there they wanted nearly another £600 quid !

    network rail use the stihl trousers as they are pre approved for track work , personally having experience in track side work i would not buy the stretch airs , i have a pair of the yello high viz trousers and the fabric is way to week for the track work mine did not do well against bramble etc .

    the positioner is designed for use as a cam for your side strop and lockjack is for use on your main line , i use both and im verry leased with both of them , i certainly would not turn back . they do take a bit of getting used to but once you have got the hang of them they can really make your job in the tree alot easyer.

    hiya , where did you get you ally planking from ? only asking as i need to build some back doors and a foor for my mog
  12. combined tree services
    great stuff Steve looks a great chipper , also would be a bonus as the feed rolers dont run off of the mog either .
  13. combined tree services
    sorry bud im running 24's
  14. combined tree services
    which tp is it you have again Steve ? i am tempted
  15. combined tree services
    or if you like you can simply only buy vehicles fitted with amazing heaters , our 7.5 ton daf M.E.W.P is amazing , 15 mins and your jacket is dry ! the mog takes a little longer but still better than wet trousers !
  16. combined tree services
    simples , smuggle it in and put it on the rad lol . failing that i think your not gonna have much luck mate
  17. combined tree services
    phhaaaa pollard it and a bit of pink grip would have seen it rite . sad when it comes to people doing that to street trees or any tree for that !!

    hiya im looking for a timber trailer to go behind our Mog and was wondering if anyone has used a Kellve timber trailer ? riko sell them - Riko UK :: Forestry trailers any advice or feed back is greatly appreciated guys Cheers Dave
  19. combined tree services
    guys it really is tempting , idealy i would love a front mount but all that holds me back is tht front mounting a 10inch chipper would probably not do the front axle any good at all

    personally when we are logging we tend to bern the waste - keeps you warm at lunch and smells nice , i could not be bothered chipping it or bagging it , its bad enought trying to get rid of chip let alone more rubish in nets lol
  21. combined tree services
    they are good chippers , i have used them and can not really fault them , my only grumble is that i dont have one on the front or back of my mog lol
  22. combined tree services
    what size tyres ?
  23. combined tree services
    something to do with emissions and the amount they sell ah i see , nothing to do with it being to awkward to use with one hand
  24. combined tree services
    yeah i passed , if im honest it was nore a case that it was not possible to achive a perfect work position from where i was due to a mechanicle defet within the tree so i ended up using a not so suitable secondery anchor point whilst making sure i was steady with my left hand and reaching with the other . correct me if im wrong guys buy as far as i was aware at the time i did my 40/41 training it was acceptable to use a saw with one hand in extream situatons where another hand is needed to assure a steady work position . Maybe the question is weather or not people feel that it is acceptable to use a saw with one hand where it is not required .
  25. combined tree services
    in all fairnes a top handled saw has its place for use with one hand which is possibly why milions of pounds has gone into the development of these saws , while on my 40/40 assessment i was in a situation that required the use of my saw with one hand , the assessor is well known down here for failing candidates but when he questiond why i felt it was correct to do so i explained that i needed one hand to ensure that my work position would not be compramised . another question i have is why did stihl stop producing the back handled ms200 ?
