  1. I've got that program too! I paid extra for a couple of add ons called 'trailer' and 'drag'
  2. Does anybody know any farmers like this? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jag7oTemldY&feature=youtube_gdata_player]YouTube - Heavy Metal Farmer[/ame]
  3. Stumbled on this. More street performers like this please! Check out this video on YouTube: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiInBOVHpO8&feature=youtube_gdata_player]YouTube - Dub FX 10/10/2008 'Love Someone'[/ame]
  4. I do. But they aren't my work saws. We have two husky leccy ones and a 357 currently out on loan. The pictures showing the saws are old. There is now a 660 in place of the husky 365!
  5. Husky 321LE. We have 2. Both work well. Both with Oregon powersharp too.
  6. I'm a still man. A husky would look out of place in my collection!
  7. i blocked it completely once, engine was running but nothing was coming out. Courtesy of our friend lleylandii, took the top of the chute off and pulled out what i could reach then gave the brish a wiggle about to loosen bits up and it went straight away. I prefer to feed the chipper, it takes a bit of practice to know how stuff will go in and how it will affect the chipper. getting good now, i find vibrations are dampened a lot if you grab branch tips, especially with conifer because you have to keep hold until its almost all through, the vibrations are dissipated through the rest of the piece and you dont feel much at all.
  8. caritool small here, fits nicely on the petzl harnesses! if you want easy release, get a large caritool and remove the wire gate, then it just sits in and pulls out with no gate opening
  9. He does already but wants it to look like it's the make of a machine!
  10. That's the thing. There has to be a compromise in design to compensate for the individuals who would end up losing body parts to little Gloria. An easy access hatch, or even a simple way to drop the hopper off in a minute to access the drum. That's linked to the ignition so you can't run the chipper with it taken off.
  11. Those little bled machines are nice. Work best in dry soil though as soon as it gets damp and sticky it'll not work too well! We've got one but it's bigger brother. run it on a little john deere
  12. I did a lot of courses through Sue from mill house training in skelmersdale. Google them and I'm sure youll find something. They will help you if you can get any funding too. They found courses for me all around north west within reasonable distances.
  13. That's quite impressive. We've got cones very similar so they would come in handy. Just have to find myself some more roadside work to warrant using them!
  14. 'you werent supposed to fell that tree!'
  15. and if you get a bad nick you can drink some to ease the pain!
  16. i can come with a pickup and trailer and take some away, what type of wood is there?
  17. Yeah we have a workshop full of tools. But every bar that's perfect just doesn't quite fit! I like the idea of climbing in and doing it. Would save time. And I don't try and jam it. I leave it for a bit running after I've finished chipping and give it a good shake to check everythings gone. Those bits came outta nowhere!
  18. i agree, after being in the industry for only a short amount of time, i do know ive got a lot to learn, and would like to work for other people to help push, well, shove me forward a bit!
  19. Well, another one of these threads! Im at college 3 days a week, doing an FD in arb at myerscough, with a view to go onto my BSc in september. I currently work self employed, have been for around a year now and have good experience in domestic work, with lots of happy customers. I have CS30,31,32,33,34,38 and 39, with cs41 booked on the 26th april, so i will have that under my belt too. I have full climbing kit, all saws necessary, basic rigging kit, although its enough to get jobs done. I have experience with trailers, however I am still searching for the right B+E course that wont leave my pockets empty, I am quite happy to learn to do anything, will take any criticism on board constructively and will happily offer the same in return. I am very well tempered, i do not get angry, no matter how awkward that customer is! I get on well with anyone and i am honest as the day is long. Long days and early starts are a speciality, grew up on a farm so its second nature! I have a car and i can travel up to 50 miles for work providing its adequate enough pay. Even if you have me in dragging brash im as happy doing that as i am up a tree dropping chunks! I have my own little CS100 too which comes in handy for little jobs, good when doing light reductions, wont drink fuel like a bigger chipper and you can chip in the garden! If you need to ask anybody else about my work, i can provide numbers for people ive worked for and with. I think thats everything covered. My work seems to have gone slack, been busy all march now ive only got 1 or two so far for april, lets just hope it changes. Thanks for reading!
  20. if i lived closer i would offer myself more readily, however, its an hour and a half to wolverhampton from here. If i really needed to, i would happily come down on the odd days
  21. bessy doesnt like strangers either!
  22. if its any help, our JD 6330 (120hp) runs a Timberwolf PTO-300H (12") at 1000rpm all day without a problem.
  23. Just don't jam it up like this, you'll never turn these out with the drum attached! Pete the hole isn't big enough on the drum I find. The only things that fit it are combi spammers and little screwdrivers. Which Bend when you need to use some force! I'll find a pic of it strapped to our trailer. Works well. But that front leg likes to bounce!
  24. Tom you got out further than that!
  25. They are adventitous roots. 15cm is way too deep. It's just going to rot the trees. It doesn't fair well for them in the future. Properly formed roots will have a strong connection to the stem. Adventitous roots are like epicormic shoots. They aren't always 'properly' attached so are weak at the attachment points.
