Petzl sequoia here!

I didn't do much work in the first 2 years though. So 3 years really! Still did well, any holes I got stitched up and it helped them last.

I've just gone from 5 years in one pair of hiflex to stretch airs, the build quality difference is shocking! Won't go back to stihls.

Got my wires crossed a little while sorting out workers, means I'm a climber short. Job starts tomorrow and depending on how well we get on could be till Wednesday. Want to get everything down ASAP. Paid on last day of work. You can meet us on site at 8am or come to my yard at 7am and I will drive us in. Please pm or call/text 07841128366 Sorry for the short notice. Cheers

I got one of those. eBay special! It gave me a reading of 20% when stuck into the end grain of some plane that had been down and undercover since June! Don't know whether it is accurate but all the wood burns well!

I bought 12mm ply and coated it with 2 coats of exterior gloss paint. Holding up well enough and isn't too heavy, not sure of the weight but it's about 4 boards worth.

There's a 357 on fleabay under £200 with spare bar and chains. It's on my watch list ATM.

you may very well have a market there, a couple of site clearance jobs ive been on we had to take logs and having a dedicated team on that instead of having to lose a dragger/sawman because he could operate the bobcat to load a tractor trailer was slowing the job down a bit. if you dont already, make sure youve got CSCS, thats becoming ever more popular now.

or lack of is that a branch or stem section? -
I do prefer the Velcro ability, I hate doing the straps on my legs, to get them comfy they have to be tight. I'm very tempted for either of the geckos. How much would a pair of ali bashlins in good condition be worth?

If clients aren't educated about what's right, how else will arb move forward and push the undesirables out because everyone is on to them! I advise my customers, I don't act to patronise but I'd rather do a little bit at a time, I advise to compromise what they want with what's best, usually works to a degree, but you can't have it all ways.

Ive been looking at either buying a new set of spikes and selling my current ones which are alloy bashlins, I was thinking of going over to aluminium distels or carbon fibres, whilst checking prices I saw the bashlin Velcro pads, would these be the better option, also they are a lot cheaper. I've tried the carbon spikes and found them very comfy, although I am yet to have a go of a set of Velcro straps. Any reviews?

It's money, you'd be complaining if you weren't working at all! I've come home with both arms completely red and feeling like they are on fire, get some soothing cream with eucalyptus oil in and it will be gone. I love working with connies.

Depending where he does the degree, the fees could be as much as £9k per year!

I find a lot of crosscutting on a log on the floor will jam up a nose sprocket. Catch it early an you can rev it out, otherwise it's a strip down on site job! Chain and bar oil fine, just gets clogged up!

theres a local mag round me that does a quarter page for £54/month, they have 2 editions of the mag a month, and it saw me a good amount of work over summer, thats all i advertise in.

this seems to be a very much common sense issue rolled in with an arrogant horse type! no offence to any horse types on here, but you always get bad eggs! with you moving the fence even though it was said that it had been moved, IME you have grounds to not start any work until the client has held up their end of the 'contract'. On top of everything else, take lots of photos, nobody can disprove a photo! especially of the poor horse!

iphone andy? if so, rotation lock when you took the photo! looks smart that, im getting ever more tempted to do our navara now, i think it will be a nice summer project!
-
We have one just like that. I've been after more info and now I know. It's got no tirfor plates on it and won't pull the cable under load. If its a 3 ton dead weight lift does that mean its a 6 ton pull? Could do with trying to go ours.

Spent money advertising firewood since October, had not a single sale from the advert! Done about 10 bags/cages, some repeat customers and from selling alongside Christmas trees. Done 200 nets since the start of december.

You can see him put the chain break on!

Not very well. Take off the neoprene and use the straps. The predefined holes are too far apart!
-
Im off to Dunham Massey this tuesday, but of data collection, putting this out to see if anyone wants to meet up? I'm aiming for the veteran oak areas for my data

I have the 12/23 in all the time and use it on poison ivy and xtc, easier to do that than have to change clutches all the time! Find it a lot smoother on the PI with the 12/13
