Mate of mine sent this to me this morning.

Will carry 10 Tonnes appraently!

2011 FORD F250 in CHESTER on Auto Trader Vans

ive got one of these, so far i love it over the ms150 ( though that chain is a cleaner cut).

noticed it started running like it was badly out of tune. Then i remembered i had read on here that the air filter needs a air line clean to keep it good. quick clean and its running great again.

Ill be honest ikeep meaning to read the whole of this thread, not random posts days apart lol.

what i did have yesterday though was one of the guys started it up and it was screaming away, chain racing very fast with out the throttle on.

took the rear off and couldnt understand why. then noticed a spring just sitting inside, to the left of the carb.

after a while the only thing i could figure it was was a spring to keep constant pressure on the idle adjuster. Once i screwed the idle down it was fine again.

anybody else had this happen

Wow didnt expect it to get so serious a discussion but then again this is Arbtalk lol

Thanks for the advice guys.

I must say life seemed so much more simple when i was self employed!

Ites tempting to hire 2 crews a week say 2 days a week each and then do pricing on a Friday. have them self employed and cut out the aggro!

Think i'll stay out of the woman man wage difference argument. i agrees both sides to a degree.

cheers for the replys

been employed just over a year now.

i wondered because hes an employee at the other company ( albeit for only 1 day a week).

Thats what i think but im getting told i have to pay by the accountant.

Just doesnt seem right.

Tbh i am new to contracts and this hadnt even crossed my mind to cover it. this weekend job is a very new thing for him. had only been doing it a month or so.

Just wanted to ask as i dont know the answer

I employ a guy 5 days a week ( full time).

He Also works 1 day to 2 days a week at weekends at a different job, not arb related in any way.

He goes and messes himself up ( broken bones) at the weekend job.

Who has to pay him sick pay? full time employer or the company where he was working when he had the accident.

He will be off for at least 8 weeks possible up to 12 and then also recovery time ( another 8-12 to regain strength).

Cheers Guys and gals

Looks like it will be longer than a few weeks. One of my guys broke both collar bones and a couple of ribs yesterday. Ran into a steel cable while on a paintball site.

Not personally had a broken collarbone but I would say he's got a while to mend.

Cheers guys

After a groundie for at least a few weeks perhaps longer. Work in the areas local to Bracknell, Crowthorn ascot areas etc.

Ideally state ASAP.

Please pm me or call on 07867523823.

Many thanks

such a bargain i may get 4 for backup for the other saw!

tbh ive been so busy i had a quick look over it and couldnt see what was up so i sent it in to my local dealer who found out the problem. At first they changed the clutch band as this had moved and was hitting the chain and sent it back saying it was fixed but first cut proved it wasnt so it went back again and they came back saying basically is knackered!

Think ill have a closer look myself when i get 5 mins

MS150 is maybe a year and half old, some how the crankcase or engine or something the dealer tells me ( not really sure tbh) has come out of alinement and now if i want them to fix it im looking at around £300 bill.

Planning to moan to Sthil about it as ive had nothing but trouble from them ( got 2) but to have to bin a nearly £400 saw less than 2 yrs old isnt on!

Use to drop tones around stanwell, on all the beds.

was a few years ago so could prob do with a top up.

Wouldnt have a clue who to ask now though.

how old are u? its a tough old game on the body.

Also where abouts r u?

if local to berks drop me a line, see if i can help out in a small way at all.

From exmoor? Thats a trek!

How much per kit do you charge out of interest? pm me if you prefer.

Cheers

thanks guys

Do you have a number for Martyn Rhys?

Cheers

Anyone on here do inspections around the Bracknell area or close by?

Cheers

Cracking machine. Been using on for the last 9 yrs or so.

even rolled one once and apart from a broken tow hitch it was fine.

Yes i think your right.

kicker is hes stinking rich but tighter than a ducks ....

I lost the last job to another firm ( large white pop which was somehow still leaning up over a smaller oak. No was i was climbing it, priced a mewp but he got someone else in).

TBH i dont worry to much as there is always more work, just hate to waste my time as hes at least a hour round trip to look at the work.

Thanks for the repies guys

Priced a large dead Cedar of Lebanon to reduce back to major timber for a customer as while back.

Its in a very large lawn area so if it came down it would cause no harm to anything.

Now my question is would you feel safe climbing it taking into account its been dead for at least 4 yrs?

The bark is all coming away and the trunk feel very solid but its the roots that concern me more.

What do you think?

Personally i would rather use a mewp but the owner is tight and more than likely they job will go to another firm.

so i just looked up the emissions on a new dmax-194. that means £1200 a year!

Am i missing something or is this a blatant money grabbing exercise that once again attacks the motorist!

anybody else tempted to do what the caravan boys do and just nick a similar model cars numberplate.

Presto you disappear!

Hi guys

I didnt do it in the end which was the right move.

I think i will have a look into it, i dont do any line clearance etc but better to have the knowledge and not need i say.

Cheers all for the replys.

just looked at a job today where this would be perfect!

Bit mactracarpa to come down. big old but but not too tall.

Anybody else have a similar lorry near to Maidenhead?

Cheers

lol im amazed by how often this does nearly happen.

people r so impatient!

ive lost the anger i normally have for these idiots it happens so much!

Death on a stick isn't what I have planned! And my main climber just had twins last week so not on to ask him either.

Thank you for replies guys.

Not sure what a dno is tbh. No I don't get involved with electricity as it scares me a bit. Give me a big saw all day long but a wire where I can't see anything moving or happening then I don't like it.

Than k you for the replies.
