Wow look at that hooked jaw !! Does that mean when they turn like that they are carnivorous ?

The hook on the jaw is called a kipe and can be found on male fish

bringing this thread back to life...

is it going to happen,need a dry weekend before the trees are green

come on guys lets do it:thumbup:

I did'nt think fountains were still around?

Yes they nearly went under a while back but were bought out by OCS.

OWNED BY OCS but still work under fountains on utility

i live in south wales but based in ross on wye

we cover glos,worcs,hereford

Ha ha Mr Amos how goes it? How's life on the dark side?

all good this end matt...

hows oneself and family

hows dad,alan and dan

that your work on the A40

never rub another mans rhubarb....

i was self employed until last sept,when i was offered a utility arb job full time,never looked back,if i was self employed now,i think i would be in the s**t

when they put me though UA1,the trainer told us utility arb is a job for life:001_huh:

theres loads of work,some of the boys work 7 days a week

get a utility arb contract,i work for fountains(OCS) and we use lots of contractors,aswell as our own staff

I like the one by Owen Johnson, which is the hardback collins tree guide (black cover) from 2004:thumbup:

 

There are quite a few though:biggrin:

thanks for that rob:thumbup:

good day all

looking for a new tree id book,any thoughts on the best book out there..

got a few around the house but not the best

looking at my mates collins tree id book the other day and thought that was pretty good,what do you think:confused1:

(ocs)fountains-ross on wye....

Our supervisor ( working with us ) was giving the wood to anyone who stopped and asked, after he filled his Landrover ( the white one ) of course.

and the blue one with the trailer...........:wink:

could turn out to be a better buy than the original..:lol:

got one,love it:thumbup:

Fake Britain. Fake chainsaws

The new husky top handle is out and being tested by a well know company that clear the power lines I hear on the grape vine that they are having a few problems. Also I think said company is taking orders for them but can't be so sure on that. I hope they hurry up other wise I will have to buy a 201t

well it aint fountains..

like you say above

ive owed 4 fourtraks over the years,great 4x4s,bullet proof engine and gear box if you look after them,but like you say lots of rotten ones about these days,and with them being out of production,getting thin on the ground..

get the best you can afford

OK

A bit of advice please

We have had 2 ms261's and both have had issues almost from the start.

One has been fixed and turned out to be a good saw.

Unfortunately one of the lads left it on site yesterday (dodgy housing estate) and it's gone. Not surprising.

What should I now do. Stick with Stihl or go Husky again. And if I change back which saw should I get. I've been away too long.

5 brand new ms261s were bought when i was working in the forestry,always issues with them..
