  1. numbers 1122 664 0505 Bumper spike on the inside 1122 664 0500 Bumper spike outside youll need the two mounting bolts aswell for the outside 9008 319 0960 Hexagon head screw M5x12 9214 320 0700 Lock nut M5 that should see you right. they arent expensive
  2. you will find that a matching set will match. Ill find you a part number for them, if you noticed my thread on just a bit of fun, i put the 660 dogs on my 260, all the pro saws have the same side casing and the dawgs are all the same measurements, so all fit between each other.
  3. a nice looking stick matt! odd to see that on holly. We have mass of honeysuckle here and its constricted a chestnut in a lot of areas, leaving markings just like that but a lot deeper!
  4. or that. The muffler was confusing me. the dogs off the 660 will fit, are they a matching pair or are they the original 460 one and odd one from another saw?
  5. look for the set of the 660 arctic, they stick out more, might be slightly more on the outside then, but see, is that a 660 in the pic?
  6. the untidyness of your work bench makes me twitch haha. Great job on that, id love to be able to weld and stuff like that, never had the opportunity to have to weld, my dad does like to bodge things up though! True farmer style!
  7. It's good. We have the Athens system which allows us to a lot of scientific papers and the BS institute so I can get free copies of the relevant BS standards. I do like to do my own reading and am willing to dive into both these monsters!
  8. Ive just got these two off amazon, wanted the fungal strategies for a while but decided to take the plunge with it at £37. The other book seems a good one, covers a good range of subjects and for less than £60!

  9. i would go for some stihl hiflex type C if you want a decent pair of pants, thats my personal preference but others will say different. They are good all rounders. cant comment on the airpower golds but i have the meindl airstream boots which are crackers!
  10. hi mark ill be having the logs, there is a greenwaste site that will deal with my arisings on the way home. Thanks
  11. I would like to do it myself but due to it being over a garage I'll do that another time. I thought it would be better to get someone with a bit more knowledge on it with me. Plus I'll learn something too. Dont need a chipper. It will fit in our ifor trailer. Had a lot in it previously. This won't even be a half load!
  12. It is indeed. Finally got it to come through. Here's an image of the tree for treequip
  13. I'll have a couple! What message should we get on it?
  14. The kit would be a harness split tail or prussic and a few carabiners. Then with a cutaway strap for a harness to harness connection. It would be basic kit. It would be for if I had a guy on the ground who could climb but has no kit either with him or at all. It's an idea I've thought about and I'll try and keep to it. Needs funding first though!
  15. Gross have you not looked into some tougher needle resistant gloves? May be a bit more expensive but will protect your hands against thorns. Other than that get used to being stabbed and go for cheaper pairs of gloves?
  16. As always I did think of you rob but I understand you work. I'd ask you otherwise!
  17. if people help me i help them, simples. Good karma and all that!
  18. does anybody have a dedicated resue kit? im asking because im thinking of getting the bits together for my own, including a rope and harness, i have a spare rope and have found a few cheap harnesses that would be ok. i have seen stein have a kit out for £80, but was thinking of buying similar parts to equip it for a few methods of rescue. What do you think?
  19. My mistake. It's Aughton. Didn't know there was no H!
  20. It's near Ormskirk. I'll confirm the spelling.
  21. I'm after a guy to help me take down a chestnut. It needs to be lowered so rigging experience is a must. It's been pollarded in the past so there's not much crown in relation to stem. There's an adjacent ash which requires a dead limb to be removed low down. I have some basic rigging kit which should be enough to take it down. Thanks for reading Contact me at 07841128366 or pm me.
  22. thanks dave, had a look through there and it gives some ok information but as its just a report of whats happened it may be limited, as i have to look in to these further. Ill have to see what the tutor says. its a tough one really, as the learning outcomes are difficult to meet whilst still being ethical and having a good assignment!
  23. Thanks dave, that does help somewhat, but as the subject is Work Skills Development, this has to be a liaison with a company, i would happily conjure something up myself but half of this assignment is to demonstrate working relationships, so I have to get out there and ask, I thought this could be a handy gateway of maybe gaining a few contacts, although a subject like this is quite sensitive and people may be reluctant to release such information, other students are having similar problems with their topics due to this. IM going to speak to the tutor and see if something of my own account could be used, although What i have experienced may not be enough to warrant a full presentation and report, i may have to include a couple of case studies.
  24. A man sat in a bar after a long night of drinking says to the landlord "I better get back to the misses before she kicks off at me for staying out all night" so he gets up and walks to the door but falls flat on his face before he gets to the door, he says "my god it seems I hav had a skinfull tonight" he gets up an grabs hold of the door. When he opens the door he attempts to walk home but falls flat on his face on the street, he says "I really have had to much to drink tonight I better crawl home" fortunately he lives just next to the pub and it wasn't to far for him to crawl. He gets to his house and crawls upstairs to bed and falls asleep. The next morning he wakes up and his wife says "you had a fair few pints last night didn't you" and he says "how do you know?" his wife replies "Mick from the pub rang up this morning saying that you left your wheelchair there last night".
  25. Hey guys I'm in need of some info for my work skills assignment I am after information on how training and skill development benefits people in the industry, I want to look at this in a few parts, how just training people can affect work practice, either by making it safer or slowing it down, or how skill development by gaining experience through actively working can make you just as safe if not safer, quicker and more efficient. In order to make this hit the learning outcomes, I need a case study, which is where it may get tricky. I m after information where ther has been an incident of some severity which has required a review of work practices and health and safety policies in some way. I'm a little stumped by this and I know it may be difficult because of the topic, but my tutor has approved this. If anybody can help there are a few options for contact, drop a PM on here, email me at [email protected] Or [email protected] Phone or text on 07841 128 366 This is mainly aimed at business owners or managers as I need to have reference to companies within this assignment. This will be a written report on this topic and then followed by a 20 minute presentation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
