It was at gibside, nr rowlands gill

If you look on the Adventures In Education web site they have listings

If your sharpening the blades that often, have they gone past the minimun wear limit? if they have bits of wood can get between the flywheel and blade and 'jack' them off? We also had problems with pattern blades, so now all machines of any make get genuine parts only.

They are awful things to use! loads of vibration and slow to use, but they do come in handy for poor access, through houses etc

That was the thinking but I think it may have changed a bit.

 

I think it was to help with root damage, insurance, subsidence probs etc.

 

No doubt if you prune back hard then some roots may become redundant and therefore die off but who can say how much and from where etc.

I must agree with mesterh, the roots (to a certain extent) are independant and will still grow, depending on the extent of pruning, as epicormic growth shoots up after pruning?

It has only sorta boomed for the last year or 2 so think it may be a bit quick in thinking the arse will fall out of it.

 

Weve sold more this year than last but it is only a sideline to us and we dont sell that much anyway.

We have done a deal with a family who have a large coal round, but Im speaking from personal experience, and you must admit, after a day working, getting soaked through its nice to come into a nice warm radiator and no ash to arse about with?

I bought it second hand 18 mths ago from Forest Equipment in Bordon, Hampshire who had it in p/ex for another machine, there is no hour meter on it so not a clue.

The engine runs and sounds good. I have changed oil and filters twice since I have had it. It powers through stumps all day without any probs.

 

There is a bracket I need to refit that holds the engine cover level, so nothing major.

 

Thanks for looking.

Get me the serial number, I think that was ours, I may have some spares for it!

does anyone else think the arse might fall out of the log market? I think its one of the cycle things, eveyone has jumped on the band wagon, most cant remember the days of no central heating and only a couple fires in the house, and they think its quant to have an open fire?

wish i could justify buying it just to throw in the cupboard!

one of the best grinders around! pity they stopped making them

Id work for a company before you start up on your own!!

Good advice!

if you ask the college they should be able to provide you with a list, mines at work.

cs30_maintain_and_operate_the_chain_saw_as_oct06.pdf

Myerscough college should provide everything you need except PPE

try going on the NPTC web site you will find info on the assessment criteria, but a good instructor should have you upto speed in no time

If you log onto lantra-awards.co.uk you should be able to find one, if it wont let you message me and i will log in and find you one.

ability to supress growth of other plants by chemicals in leaf litter

Beech roots give out a supressant (cant remember what its called tho!)

dicots, secondry thickening

As john said, compare dicotyledon to monocotyledon? different types of tree species, eg. poplar vascular system against sycamore?

are we not of topic now

AYE!

ok it appeared me and john were editing at the same time.

No probs then, all friends?

i removed the bad language and steve deleted the post

If it was deleted how did it re-appear then? (Im not a computer type person!)

sorry john, didnt i delete your post and you decided to reinstate it?

How did I reinstate it? I thought you had removed the 'swear word' and I just put the **** to show what I said, sorry bout the missunderstanding.

good job your not a diplomat john:thumbup:

As the bosses say ..............Im not a people person! but believe it or not, when Im running a course, I love people! strange eh?

Which ratner did you mean then?

 

What do you mean by "its off comments from a dealer of t/w"? That statement makes no sense.

 

You still havent explained your comments in the treemotion v sequoia thread either, or are you just ignoring that and hoping it will go away?

Are you thick? a T/W dealer (senior management) said ' they might be, **** but they are cheap' ??? make of that what you want

haha, daft gets!

Last week i got to use a 6 inch jensen,nice looking chipper but thats where it stops,it was crapp the anti stress came in when you chipped anything bigger than a twig,and the chip just about made it to the front of the chip box all in all very dissapointing,not as good as a 150 in my opinion,and this chipper was less than a year old.

Just needed the auto stress adjusting. takes a couple minutes. The rollers on the T/W are still square though, so that would always put us off. Certain chipper models/makes do prefer different produce, some throw brash further, some timber.
