Bloody hell, what a cheek! Our legal system is a joke! Someone caught growing a small amount of weed for personal use will get a hefty fine, community service and a suspended prison sentance - compare that to this little buggger!! How are things anyway? Have you got a new workshop?
-
It was pretty rotten, i almost put my foot through it when i stood on it, let alone dropping in on it! It didn't get much use anyway, as you can see.
-
My old mini ramp was pretty rotten and I couldnt be bothered to re-surface it, so I turned it into a log store
-
Yes they are alot better, it's a much more comfortable/ergonomic saw to use compared to the 200t, hopefully the gutless engine will be sorted soon, then it will be a great saw.
-
It is a stupid place to put the sticker, i've had two chain brake handles snap on me in the last couple of years, then you have to replace it without the sticker...
-
Think he may be talking about if the sticker is missing (like 90% of older 200t's)

well worth a read... http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/large-equipment/13123-wee-chipper-club.html

If its only good for pruning (which I agree, unless its some nice soft willow or lime), then a 192t or 150t would be better I should imagine due to the weight. I'm really hoping the husky is as good as they say...
-
From what i saw earlier in the year, the French have their own log stacking competition going on - all very, very neat. Worryingly so. Oh and with their weird 2ft logs aswell...
-
I like the look of it. Sits nicely inbetween a hitchclimber/vt and spiderjack. I'd like to know how well it does self tending and how much rope needs to sit under it. Can't wait to have a go as i wasn't overly impressed with the spiderjack.
-
in answer to the reply above^ get a lighter rope. 12mm or 11.7mm makes alot of difference. I've used a 45m imori for a couple of years and never find it a big effort.
-
this^ i've bought a clocked car in the the past. my fault - didn't ask to see all previous mot's which have the mileage printed. if they don't have mot history, you can look at them online using the v5 reg number https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history-vehicle
-
I would of done this if i'd seen it in time. Did you manage to find someone?
-
i like the bit where you tap in the wedge and it goes in time to the music
-
From what i have gathered after applying for similar jobs to that described in somerset, the wages are alot lower than east anglia. A couple of guys i spoke to at established firms pay their main climbers/team leaders less than £80/day. A similar role in east anglia will get you £90+/day edit: that would be around £19k and £23k+ respectively
-
I see this 12v hand sharpner the same as using time coded vinyl and Serato Scratch (using your analogy) Best of both worlds.
-
+1 on the pulley saver! Why have less friction from the roka when you can have no friction? Also you can't choke the roka on a stem, you can only have it round a fork which is a bit limiting. No offence but I don't get why people ask what something is like AFTER they buy it! Its a step up from a bog standard cambium saver at least
-
congrats
-
i'll keep out of your in-jokes
-
I've applied for 6 jobs around somerset so fingers crossed Still, if you hear of anything, post details or pm me, thanks.
-
here you go mate Experienced Arborists Required | CGM Landscapes | Arbjobs.com find Arb jobs / Tree work also i noticed a team leader/climber position for ipswich council BUT it is £6.50 an hour!!!
-
The keyboard and stand integration looks cool. Not sure about the actual windows bit though....
-
I'm sorry but I can't even believe you are considering this! If you were offered a 90cc Chinese chainsaw for £50 would you buy it??
