yes them trainers were way to clean ! it might be better to put on a chemical warfare suit next time - just a thought charlie - to keep the landy clean !

yes cla - sorry county landowners associaton and business - we are members - might be worth you joining if you wanted - they send out regular newsletters email etc, and if you join as a business member they can help promote your business for you and give some sound advise on this sort of thing - they also hold evening tours around local estates etc that sort of thing where you can network with local gentry etc. - all the best Roh

seriously thinking of going into the Mud Hut market or Mud for Bricks - what do you think get rid of the Mccullochs and the argos shredder and buy a franchise to produce mud huts for the tourist market - as what with all the floods i think MUD IS THE FUTURE AND NOT GARLIC BREAD. MUD WRESTLING - ummmmmmmm.....

for felling in forest and snedding day in day out youd be suprised what you can fell with a 15" bar if doing the correct cuts - even upto medium trees in some cases - the best for lightweight all round saw is a husky 346xp with a 15" bar nice and light got power - then for bigger a 441 with a 25" bar

tommer9 - ive got some of that mud for sale - do you think theres a market for it?

thats one work of art - shame to break it up - a thing of beauty

nothing on the tele - bored - no moonshine in the house! - fed up with rain so I thought id take the mick abit

dont worry we run our company on tata pickups, lada company cars, mcculloch chainsaws and argos shredders - havent had any problems - company moral A1 and streeet cred brill - got up and running for £300 out of argos catalogue - dont know what you husky men have got against us argos people:lol::001_rolleyes:lol:

have you tried contacting your local farmers "hub", we have one in Staffordshire that sends out a newsletter to local landowners/farmers quarterly or local NFU rep.? local Forestry Commission? CLA?

just watched gordon ramsey - a thai curry looks very tempting at 11 at night when youve got the munchies

was it the funny handshakes and showing your nips that made you change from being a mason - as their are some odd greatings in the tree world:laugh1:

just to add, i checkd ours - from machine mart, it came direct from their supplier when we ordered it - Youngman - who are a reputable supplier of ladders , it is ce approved and tested to 150kg at height. etc - very good piece of kit for tall conifers etc - bit expensive at £327.98 inc VAT and have to wait for delivery 2 weeks usually - from machinemart nationwide. hope this helps

cant get on to their website for the moment, might be our connnection too slow - our is blue and yelllow if thats any help

weve got a set of tripod ladders from Machinemart, the largest set - work well no probs so far encountered

another good one is mascus - got good prices if you can import them at reasonable cost

good luck , well done and all the best - Mr Logbaron thinks hes too old to climb and hes only 30 - no joking - one of our lads Captain is over 40 and hes as fit as a flea will fell and sned all day long like a robot!, yet new guy at 24 struggles snedding for one day as for me, mrs logbaron I past my chainsaw certificates and still groundie for him when the lads are busy and im --, well lets just say older! as for MEWPS - it does come in handy but get your climbing first and chainsaw from rope and harnesss and then you can use the chainsaw from the MEWP or else I think its another test to chainsaw from the mewP

does this thread not worry anyone - that people can still buy a chainsaw without knowing how it works or even having a course on how to use one? not dissing anyone - I know weve all got to start somewhere - but many moons ago when we attended college/training before we even started the saw we were taught how to take it to bits and back together again/safety features etc even me - Mrs Logbaron have done my NPTC cs30/31 before I even helped start forestry - is it the cost of training that puts people off?

could well be Ivy, I made the mistake of smelling Rohans fleece (not being Kinky just checking it wanted washing - a womans thing! trying to cut down wasing!) and couldnt stop sneezing for 3 days - first day was struck to my bed with flu like symptoms - and No it wasnt Roh's B.O. - but that could have been a significant factor When the lads have done Ivy in the past they are very often sneezing/headachey the next day and can last several days - with red blotches on arms that were exposed to it no one yet had any probs with pines thank goodness - but I think Ivy is one to be respected and take care also is it at this time of year the Ivy is flowering? could be the pollen also released - will have to check with Rohan on that but I know Rohans always said Ivy is terrible to skin and breathing probs. can happen when clearing off walls/trees etc had probs in the past hope you feel better soon and the results come through OK for you to carry on, might have to have a cautizone cream or similar?

tickets bought - fingers crossed

count us in on landy guys - all us at the yard run them - except one of us who runs a toyota pickup - mick you know who you are! - gone on to old discos for a bit of comfort in our old age now - but always had a landy in one shape or form - ran a mitsubishi l200 brand new a few years ago but couldnt stand it - gave me terrible back ache and the kids hated it no room even in the back for them and terrible on a long journey - only good bit was the engine - did pull like a train I have to admit

charlie - sounds like an ecu prob - tony fixed one like this at our place - as the injectors are all electonicly governed - have a word with tony when your passing our place again - hell tell you how to fix it or what to do - roh

I sell alot of offcut bits from our processor etc as Chiminea wood for these patio burners etc and they sell very well to local garden centres and at carboots etc - you could try bagging them as that?

do you mean, potato fork, or silage/muck fork - try your local agricul. supplier
