  1. It also works the other way you can gain
  2. Better to put the weight in the chassis or wheels
  3. Makes for a unbalanced machine when no load is on also wears out the centre pivot very quickly
  4. To work for highways England as I do you will have to comply with all of the regulations that apply to civil construction as well as forestry and tree surgery, until they need you more than you need them then it goes out the window have a off the record chat before jumpin in
  5. Are you doing it for the timber or going to charge, I would try to find local contact and have a chat first, the paper work will be interesting you will also need a highways card on top of your cscs, cpcs,forestry tickets, chainsaw tickets, site management ticket,first aid ticket . Traffic management ticket, main contractor insurance and card this is before you sub any work out to subbies with most of the above. Will it be worth the hassle? the highway card is two days training for EVERYONE who enters the site
  6. You should also look at a mini loader will lift and shift pull a trailer bucket for muck hydraulic power for splitter avant multione or similar lighter on its feet than telehandler out lifts telehandler weight for weight will hold its value parts and fixing fairly simple
  7. You don’t saw in the dark it’s still light at 3.30.pm or are you only going to cut first thing in the morning to allow The emergency services to find you during daylight realisticaly why are you cutting this remote you can’t extract timber if it’s for logs try a decent handsaw you will be warm twice that’s good for the environment
  8. Smoke anit no good in the dark if you made the call at 3.30pm it would be dark by the time they get to you or not!!
  9. If you are as far as you say then two or three flares and smokes would not go amiss, if you buy them you probably won’t use them if you don’t !!!!!
  10. They would be using the own guns so no ticket as on import or using estate guns so not there problem
  11. It’s not the hunting but firearms offences they have been reported for interesting to find out what
  12. It is for the USA
  13. That’s a question the Mrs should ask and answer
  14. His Mrs must be worried, have they searched the house yet?
  15. Is hoping all you can do ?
  16. Your mate needs to use his phone call don’t assume that all will be ok in the end he needs to be proactive, get legal representation
  17. I think of it as a true target rifle. I’m never going to get permission for Dear
  18. I have been thinking of getting a .5 before I get too old to see the target, I am now thinking of a.388 just need to tell the Mrs
  19. A license is not required in England and Wales one is required in Scotland and Northern Ireland
  20. No, there’s a few members of parliament who see the .5 as a danger to the police and public and feel that licensing air weapons would stop them being abused just the anti gun lobby
  21. Once this government ban 50 calibre rifles a air rifle licence will be next
  22. Yes as far understand your smooth and fac don’t cover sub 12 air rifles
  23. Yes and if you take your air rifle or pistol to Scotland so will you!
  24. I have the husky on demo at the moment the stihl arrives next week, I’m going to invest just don’t know which my husky is number two the first was broken straight out of the box. My feel for it is it’s long and plasticky, I like the two power modes and the tooless chain tension. i think I need to investigate the batteries more there are many variables here and major cost implications
  25. Also try the Milwaukee saw bosch are bringing out a saw in the new year given that bosch have the best batteries it might be worth waiting for I’m looking at a 14 inch stihl saw but running the twelve inch bar to increase chain speed
