    If I were there I think I would be rendered unfit for work after witnessing that due to a twisted gut, glad you didn't get it in the eye or teeth though.

    Sorry mate, & I know that could have been nasty, but it had me in fits of laughter!
  3. Pics would be interesting on this, never seen it before.
  4. That's about the long & short of it, a certain air of respectability has to be maintained on any open forum.
  5. Hello Sammym, The 550 will do your job & with relish, the Stihl 261 has had a few problems with clutch basket bearings breaking up, maybe someone can chip in & inform if the latest ones have the problem sorted.
  6. You might find that mum in this case wont vote for the local councillor ever again!
  7. Bloody good précis for a foreigner!
  8. I like these, very nice work!
  9. Treequip is most likely right, he often is, & I'm thinking you are on the money too.
  10. That's a 101, range rover 4 speed box, permanent 4wd, they would have locked the central diff, dropped the front prop shaft & most likely disabled the rear brakes to do that.
  11. I just had a client phone in a panic, given notice to clear overhanging vegetation to 2.5m height back to boundary over a footpath, seems the user of the footpath can report it to the LA, & they will respond. We all know this, but regarding doing the work yourself I would say you have no right legally,or at least you leave yourself open to litigation should there be a problem with your actions. Yet a lot of 4wd green laners often have work parties to clear green lanes of tree limb obstructions, seemingly with no issues. So my contribution is as clear as mud!
  12. We ought to report these saws on mass to ebay, they are an absolute rip off & it takes but a minute to do, potentially saving someone a lot of heartache, & preventing con artists from easy pickings.
  13. I did the same, & the seller argues the point. Fingers crossed ebay take it down, otherwise some poor person will be out of pocket. Me; This is not a genuine Husqvarna saw, but a fake, & the 395xp is a large pro saw in real form,not designed for hobby use, if you are aware of this fact, (as you now are, can you change the description or I shall report it to ebay & they will remove the listing. Thank you. Seller:I am aware that's why it's listed as a huqvarna partner hobby saw Thanks
  14. Hi there Toby, a big welcome here, I will refrain from advising you on what kit to get as there are others who are far more up to date on what would be best for you, but you are in the right forum to get the advice you need to help you through your time in the trade. When you get to the aches & pains stage in a few decades I for one may be of more help!
  15. Skidmarks in arbkinies should qualify, but only new ones.
  16. Could well be the deep frosts affect them Dean, also it can trap moisture in the topsoil in otherwise well drained soil.
  17. As you know, the clay soil will hold the water up in the topsoil, & in the soil surrounding the roots, in gravel or well drained ground it is less of a problem.
  18. They don do well in overwet conditions,&we have had a lot of rain in the last year or so.
  19. It's just a husky thing, screws fall out of them all the time, these are the test screws, when they fall out the whole saw is about to fall to bits if you don't check every fitting.
  20. That's what we like to see mate, your very good at selling yourself, just be careful she doesn't split the cost & get her coffee mates round!
  21. Superb performance, how did the client respond?
  22. Nice set of pics Chris, I like those Honda step through bikes!
  23. It is a bit soul destroying when you do a good job such as this & get bad feedback, some people hey.
  24. That looks like fun Chris, I did a speedway day thingy at Arena Essex, small oval, but loads of fun, trick is keep it pinned & try to stay on it! 78077301938d4b2a877351831678929a by geoff321, on Flickr 674038ac49244545824b1922955ae653 by geoff321, on Flickr
