He's cheating by clipping in! -
I'll see you there kev. I'll be going for the Saturday would stay over for a night but can't get two days on the run which sucks. I want to get in on this meteor tennis!
-
I'd try and make the Friday evening but I'm in till 4 at Myerscough. Unless they have other plans. Will have to find out! The Thursday is a possibility. I thought it was fri-sun?
-
How about some sort of saw blade attached to an engine? The lanyard that Retracts like a seatbelt idea I like skyhuck. Unclip and zzziipp bang! It's all back in! Some sort of sign the public actually read is my thought!
-
I'll be there on Saturday. Myerscough want me in on Fridays so I'll make a single day out of Saturday. Who will I be bumping in to on Saturday? I'll be the one trying on the shiny red boots!
-
That's just cheating. I bet you put that giant hand there to stop it!

I would have used the bucket to put a line in the tree at a couple of high points and then just felled it at the bottom. Only thing to hit near the shrubs would have been the main stem. Which wwas thin enough to land in the gap.

-

You've done everything you can then. In this claim culture you'd expect the person to claim for leaving a pile of wood in the road!

Scary stuff. Must have been an impurity for it to fail like that

You can always try envirophone. They give decent prices for the 32gb when I sent mine in I got 220. It was 250 but it had dropped. Probably with the amount of people upgrading to the iPhone 4.

All you can do is be polite. If you use ebays tools you can get the feedback removed. Just have a browse through you'll find out how. You can get it removed and it counts as no score. Those types of buyers are all over the place. As the buyer is so well protected. People still don't realise it's a legal contract and abuse those protections.

Leccy saws do have their place. We bought two last year as when we sell christmas trees we had always used petrol ones for a long time, with axes and bowsaws before that, with customers always in close proximity and noise an issue especially with small children around, buying two electric ones we havent looked back, there are still the same risks regarding cutting, the response isnt instant when you press the switch though, which is my only gripe. you just fill them with chain oil and use them, they get used in dirty conditions so chains are sharpened a couple of times a day we bought two husqvarna 321E. At their price they are worth it, but would never replace petrol ones elsewhere. We found them to be a good choice, lot less maintenance involved. as long as you know how to look after them, your fine.

you might struggle to get them in a single package, phone a few of the suppliers from here, im after a pair of double pads like those, tried some and liked the extra bit of comfort.

yep the best technique is the safest technique. it may not be the quickest. but it bodes well to do it safe than to get some quick cash! when i was doing some training a while ago i wouldnt stop holding onto my ropes, i was told to put my hands on my head and shout im a happy tree man!
-
i would assume its a sell up, two ground saws a mid range saw and a big saw for big trees. ideally id like a range like that. i was tempted to give an offer for the 064
-
i have a GT i bought a couple of years ago, its in perfect order, but has been left outside too much for my liking so one of the shocks has a spot of rust and other chromy bits do too. i paid £300 for it and i am looking to sell it actually. will try and get a photo up on here so you can see it
-
I see. Copying my reflection shot idea eh? Nice pic set Dave. I hate working on/with dead stuff. So much more wobbly!
-
where would you stand on something like this, if someone got injured when they ignored all your signs? IME you are covering your back, but without some sort of banksman in this situation and having people walking through a worksite and on the unlikely event someone gets injured, how would you deal with it?
-
big congratunlations from me mate, im not at that stage with my mrs yet, still a few years away!
-
more than it should be! 6.6 ton!
-
I'd use that for cutting up my sarnies. But we have a local lidl. Gonna go have a gander later then!
-
i would think that due to the trees having anchor roots and that an earthquake gives them a good shake i would assume that its not much more stress than a strong wind?

happy birthday rich. Ill buy you a beer at the apf!
