The Undisputable leader of the gang
RobRainford replied to FriarsGorse's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
That's awesome. You should do the rest of the gang too! -
Extreme strimming part 2
-
It's certainly interesting. The best part is, no public!

You guys have it easy strimming a nice flat grass field! I was on a concrete bank yesterday. I felt like a spider in the bath. No grip at all! Had to make a floating anchor system so I could work on it. Its a coal wharf/terminal. They unloaded 6500 tons in 10 hours. The train comes in every morning to collect a load for fiddlers ferry. 21 wagons long, each one is 75 ton empty and holds 100 ton each.

I'm getting this too. Have been choosing the upload to tapatalk instead

Since getting a new strimmer on 4 mix I run all out machines on stihl HP ultra. The green stuff. Much better fumes. Engines run well. A company also based on our yard uses the standard red oil and is constantly having 4 mix engines send pistons and con rods out the engines! I'd rather pay the extra couple of quid for the green stuff!

Spent all week on the hedge cutters this week. My back was killing me by lunchtime. Used smaller cutters after Tuesday lunch!was in agony. One large site took 2 and a bit days. Found a wasp nest by raking in it and standing on it and a few of its residents which they weren't keen on. Look down to see wasps on my arm. Lucky for only two stings from a big nest! The landscaper from this site likes their bamboo. IMO not a great choice for shrub beds!

Speak to a local engineering firm and ask them to build a mount. It needs a tray to sit in and has to fix to the chassis. You should be quite ok with 4-5000lb winch which are relatively small. Wiring needs some heavy duty cable. Wire straight to the earth on winch and battery and for live run it through a heavy duty isolator switch. 300A ones can be found on eBay. The cheap plastic ones run around 120A and won't stand a heavy load well. They are very simple to wire up. A wireless remote system is a godsend as you can be doing a back cut with the remote in your hand

Its all you can see in the rear view morrow though!

They use the same r380 box as the 300tdi which are decent boxes. If you start getting more power out the engine from remaps and other gibbons then be careful as they don't like too much power. I'd be investigating the history and find out if there's been any reoccurring problems or niggles. The landmark was quite high spec so there will be plenty toys on it. The third row seats are better suited to kids though!

There's a lady near me who lives on her own and I've done a couple of jobs for her and will probably get a few more in the future. Could quite easily be taken advantage of by the wrong people but I don't think she will answer the door to just anyone

Td5? Check the chassis is in good nick. Don't be afraid to stab it with a screwdriver! Engines are good strong ones. Make sure the air suspension if its got it is in good nick ie bags are good and it does what it should. Spring conversions are relatively simple and cheap if you get problems. As long as its been serviced well there shouldn't be an issue. You love it

Doctor wood yew have a look at this please?

I'm in love!

So you've sat on it and are now saying its rubbish?
-
There's new better more powerful versions of photoshop coming out once every year or two years. It's brilliant. Will never be old hat as nothing else is as good!
-
I need a greedy board like that on the tailgate. Will make my life easier less trips to the tip site!

Puma defenders don't have them. The oversized dash is in the way! The fans don't usually work too well in a defender so you need to create the airflow!

The guy doing the filming was in my group at uni. He's now playing in Australia. Looks like he's having fun anyway!
-
My plan was to get a 10" bar for mine and a 14" on the 200 then you can swap to a slightly bigger saw with a lot more cutting capacity. Ill eventually get round to it

Is the micro arb truck worth the expense
RobRainford replied to TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX's topic in General chat
Speak to the guy selling the micro Arb truck. He's on here somewhere. -
Hs81r today at lunchtime. Clutch drum fell apart causing it to rev and not cut very much. Cue a lost half day finding a part and putting it all back together. Impromptu bench from the tailgate of the pickup to identify the part that broke!

Could that be an issue of over richness? Causing unburnt fuel/oil to end up in the exhaust?
