thanks mate. i can get rid of my ms181 now (i had to buy it as i couldn't afford anything bigger). i messaged steve about it but would you like me to put some money in to cover delivery? i would be more than happy to. i'll buy you several pints if we meet at one of the trade shows next year and you'll be pleased to know that it's going to a fellow scot (well, i'm half scottish anyway ) and andy - yes, quite a bit of luck i was going to try saving for a bigger saw over the next month or two. so happy.

It seems they have seen various homemade versions and come up with this.... It's more expensive for some reason. I would have thought it would be cheaper.

I'm so happy, it still hasn't sunk in. I've never won anything before I was happy just to give some help to a good cause. Nice one to everyone else who made donations, no matter how small. I'm glad to be a part of a site with such generous folk.

the chipper i was using today was rubbish on anything less than 3-4cm diameter. would a 2003 timberwolf 150 have an adjustable gap?
-
wow! nice one pete. the big tyres look quite handy on days like this.
-
it was quite a sight but i'm a bit miffed at the focusing on that pic and the uprooted one. i think the lens didn't like the cold. or im just rubbish
-
dito again on the protector pros - my feet were almost sweaty today
-
thanks but i'm really looking for an objective view from someone who has used both bars in the industry.

Are these better than the standard rollomatic you get with a stihl? (i think i read it somewhere - not the best reference i know ) Thinking of getting a 20" for a ms441 if they are. cheers

Forestry/woodland work, day rates?
alex_m replied to Andy Collins's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
when i just came out of college, i was on £50 a day for forestry work, using the companies equipment (my own ppe) the company i worked for pays £10 per tonne to workers i think. (and we were averaging about 7 tonnes a day each) -
as swb says, get some training and chainsaw protective helmet, boots, trousers and gloves. your local stihl dealer will advise you on what to get (you shouldn't need anything bigger than a stihl ms181) go to > STIHL & VIKING: Outdoor garden power tools then on the left click 'where to buy' to find your nearest
-
you are doing well at £80 a day already you have to work out how much the extra equipment will cost you to maintain over the year and then divide by number of work days. then add that to the £80.

Got to work this morning and the van wouldn't start so work was cancelled. Got back to find out my girlfriend's mum had her horse box stolen by pikies. Just got back from taking pictures of the size 7 reebok classic footprints in the snow along with perfectly preserved tyre tracks (not holding out much hope but its worth a try)
-
a firm i work for has a transit with a box like that. its really bloody heavy and can only take a small amount of chip before it gives up.

5-HTP + vitamin supplements would help.
