Dont kick too hard- the wheels will fall off....

Brilliant. Thanks lads. My OCD wont let me bodge it unfortunately (its a frickin nightmare BTW) and so i will replace the plugs, and if that doesnt work the wire, and if necessary the whole remote.

Ady- that looks absoloutely mint mate. Cracking job- i would have had the fear of god in me stripping off the front a truck like yours. Fair play. Cracking job!

Phew- close one.

I have recently started to have problems with the tip on the tt105g ifor. The red light started flashing on the remote when tipping, then it got an intermittent fault which meant that nothing would happen at first sometimes, then it would tip. I dug the motor and hyd oil resevoir out from its tray and cleaned out years of crud that it was buried in:blushing:, and cleaned terminals etc and no change. So i rang my local ifor dealer, who told me to bypass the kill switch (the one with the big red plastic key). This made no difference. So i rang back and spoke to a different mechanic, who stated that i had been fed a load of rubbish and a flashing red light meant one thing and one thing only, and that was that the battery was dud. Thing is it is wired into the landy with big fat leads all the time. Anyway, I put a new battery on, and no improvement. Any ideas?

My local garden shop sells alot of tanaka and efco stuff. Although i dont really like it myself, and find it heavy and clunky as it were, but on one of the N.T properties i work at thats all they use, and they do a fair bit with them. The head hardener there has a brushcutter and 2 chainsaws, and although they are a bit rattly now, he swears by them, and TBH they do seem pretty well made. Getting parts is also not a problem I am told, although having said that- he hasnt needed much in the way of parts, and this is a wel used saw. He must produce several tonnes of firewood for the big house each year with it, aside from al the other duties around the estate (they only get me in for climbing/ dismantling/ really big stuff, as they can deal with most felling etc themselves). So i reckon tanaka would be worth a look.

I wish you the best mate, great thread.

:lol:

That has to be one of the least helpful responses to a question that i have ever seen, especially seeing as the person who asked the question IS greenmech:001_huh:

Haha- yeah- the customer I had a year ago. Could i do some work on a mac that he planted and was now too old to get up and prune.....so there i am with my climbing kit etc up this tree- not very big- and using the silky, when this voice next to me starts on about the saw. I look round and its this old guy, up the tree in his black shoes,you know, the ones with smooth leather soles, holding a bow saw asking me to leave pegs so he can hang his bow saw up there........I kinda had a brief rethink of my purpose there:lol:
-
That is just phenomenal!!!
-
Stick spome beech and holly in there too, as they both occur naturally in hedges and will take hard flailing better than hawthorn etc, which ought to be laid TBH.
-
Yeah- those alaskans are ok for hobbying or for truly inaccessible logs, but they arent a serious tool IMO.(I still have mine in the shed though and it gets aired on really big stuff to get it to the bandsaw size of 3'

Two ends of a climbing line (37 or 45m depending on tree size) with prussiks. I have a 5m split tail running through a distel and micro pulley for positioning out on the ends of branches etc, and a VT set up that hasnt been out of the bag for months and months.

Hi ian. Mine is a hudson osacr 36. It is cheaper than a mizer, bigger than a mizer, uses mizer blades and has better blade guides than a mizer, which seems to be getting a better cut than a mizer does. It isnt covered in fancy log turners or hydraulics etc, which is why its cheaper, Although you can buy these for it. I could have paid alot more for a secpond hand mizer which would have been worn out. Speak to Curtis at Just Saws,(tell him I sent you) or catch him at the APf- he will well sort you out. Me and another mill which is a mizer are both supplying a huge build down here, and the customer keeps telling me he is finding my cutting far more accurate than that of the mizer, and we are all good mates, so it isnt sour grapes etc. I cant reccomend hudson highly enough.

ARC gis is excellent. Submetre accuracy if you want. http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/index.html

Lol- i am playing devils advocate....it was commercial services machine:sneaky2: nuff said!
-
Yeah they are a VERY shallow bunch.
-
When did the british army stop using landy's?? other than the snatch ones.
-
Most of them mate. If they are in it they are part of it in my book, be it a small cog or a large cog, short of the likes of counter staff etc.
-
Its worth loads more than firewood to turners and furniture makers. Ian leach on here will be along soon i would think to fill you in. A 40% red. on that beech would have killed it anyway.

Any pics of infected/ affected leaves? p.Ramorum isnt the only culprit for exudations of this sort.. -
Hahaha you left out the gullible from your list Tony- you know, the guys who have spent an absoloute fortune on software that was out there for the taking....and taken by steve jobs and his mates as their own...Its all just open source software in a (some people think) pretty box.:lol:
-
WOW that sounds awesome mate!!!!! Please try to get a thread up with a link mate!

YOu should see the rubbish that was tipped at my yard the other day from a tinnywolf.....it wasnt chip it was shredded rubbish.
