  1. Thanks for taking the time, how much for the 020 :lol:
  2. I thought it was good comp as most hype about the 201 has been towards the 200 as been a better saw, typical 200 start and dump, bit of fun, would the husky still be in one peace in 6 years time ??? that 200 looked like it had also been used as a fire starter takes me back to the good old days.
  3. Fair one, but its not a difficult one to detect, and it has been around for a long time, you would by now hope not to see it in your local garden center, but i know i could go tomorrow and buy it , already established on Prunus at any one of my local garden centers .
  4. Eddy, that's not a dig in any way, the Bacterial infection is widespread in the UK, effecting about 75% of most Prunus avium and ornamental and fruiting varieties , (my own estimate at %) for me, looking at the photos its a very simple diagnosis .
  5. I haven't read all the post's, but one thing for sure Dean at Global is the man.
  6. Where did frost damage come from Look at the leaves, and its so widespread . Even young trees in the garden centre's have got it, and most nurseries. Why plant inspectors don't pick it up I will never know ?
  7. Pseudomonas syringae pv. morsprumorum, those trees were shot and destined for the bin before they even left the nursery , remove and replant with a different sp.
  8. Spot on, that's the same for me, that's why Tomorrow you will find me wreck fishing on the Baygitano Try to avoid working Mondays and Fridays as a general rule anyway, its bad for your health
  9. That's cool, if you don't get a reply its because i'm an idiot, them pm Tree Man Tom, he's my secretary .
  10. Yep but at least you now have the upper hand, you know who and what they look like, have a drive about when you see them just take a claw hammer to there truck, or just beet the living daylights out of um, they don't know what you look like, or more sensibly but less rewarding just report them and there whereabouts to the police, I know what I would do
  11. OK give me a few weeks and i will have one, just waiting for my accountants bill, whats the crack about payment / deposit at point of ordering and time to delivery ? where abouts Dartmoor ? Tavistock ?
  12. Now come on, that bloke in the vest looks just like me, only i'm a lot shorter, are you just being Vestest ??? I think its a quality sophisticated look something you mite see on a night out in ..........St Tropez maybe its about time we stop glamorizing these idiots on the telly
  13. I got a ms660 2010 date stamp, got it last year at the Arb show, only used it about 10 to 15 times and only as a finishing saw when section felling , is it something you would trade with ?
  14. For a bootneck i would say i'm an underachiever , i'v only ever scratched a living but been very happy with life and all who i have made friends with and worked with in the industry (Arb) as a booty in all my time in i never got past the first rung, could not face going back to CTCRM for all the money in the world, 10 years as a mne, with a 3 year attachment in the RMR on top, not that i did much in the RMR, so in all about a 13 year sentence Nearly all of the old bootnecks i am in touch with have done really well, Chappy the Ice man just keeps walking to the north pole, (famous explorer) Others are headmaster, international security advisers , Smiller is now high up in the NZ coastguard , responsible for redesigning the way the NZ coastguard do things, there are very few who i worked with that have not done really well in life. I'v done ok, had loads of fun along the way, put down my own success to the mind set which i developed as a bootneck, and my perseverance with education in Arb since leaving the RM.
  15. Great photos of these Muppet's, which model Bushnell was it ? HD Trophy ? there are a few different ones, send them to crime watch they are the best images i have ever seen. I bet there mums would love to see them on the telly, we should all post them on face book.
  16. Nice saw, what are you charging for the ps-7910 ? I always wanted a red one and how long would it take to get here, i'm in Somerset.
  17. Hard day clearing a verge , took the boat out from the mooring about 7.30 ish, sun low, water was flat as you like, pulled one large Mackerel, put about 3or 4 back, too small, and got one good size Pollock, pan fry ed them with chopped spring onion and Watercress in olive oil, ate them a few hrs ago, lush. just woke up from a micro snooze after fish supper and wine, time for bed, happy days .
  18. I have seen it , got 700s on mine, i'v just been doing them gestimate to about tight, nothing has come loose, i may have seen somewhere 45lbs the Reds cut better .
  19. Thats all cool , each to his own views, i'm ex RM, 10 years in, and nearly 20 years in the trees, but i did keep going to study, M.Arbor.A now, just sold my main company, and consult , fish, and as i have something mentally wrong with me insist on spending the rest of my time resolving peoples tree stump problems, i find some sort of release from hand digging stumps , and grinding them when i can get to them, there is something very primitive about digging stumps , you can really switch off, and have a great work out and get paid for it
  20. Thats cool, I also like the look and performance from what i have seen of the Greenwheel, don't think its available in the UK , what size are the cutters ?
  21. Best just to go fishing, I always drink a pint of water for every pint of speckled hen or chilled can that is , that way when i'm out on the boat i remain well hydrated its then just a mater of checking the color of your urine as you pee off the boat. and boy has it been hot, waters have been the best ever with great vis, and the fish are just starting to get a little bigger, did put a lot back at the start of the season, but am now eating most of what i catch, lobster pots going out some time in the next 2 weeks, weather depending .
  22. I'd say best not to on any sp at the moment, stress levels will be at there limits without further reducing a trees ability to Photosynthesis, that's just going to compound unfavorable conditions .
  23. F Me, that looks the business, what size cutters are they and how much to get that wheel machined please, i have always thought that most wheel configurations are over complicated , when its about simple spin centrifugal grunt, smash and grind which must work best, I once had a carlton which had just 4 pairs of off set Greenteth 500 on it and it cut into stumps like a mad man, did see at the last trade show a couple of p28 with just 4 pairs of 900 fitted, you wheel looks a lot like one i'v seen, cant remember the brand, but it was in the states. Greenwheel ? was yours modeled on that one ?
