    Those cable alarms Andy mentioned seem like a good idea,have to get some. My 2 lads have both done time for street fighting and would not hesitate to throttle any scum that put their arm inside my pick-up,but if we're all in someones back garden those cables would indeed be handy.

    Misery,the connie hedge reductions when you cant get inside or round the back,but looked straight forward when i priced it. Serendipity Today started on a 200 metre connie hedge removal,priced it to cover a monumentous drag of 150 metres to where my chipper and farm dump trailer where.First thing the head gardner says is 'you can use the 2 john deere garden tractors and trailers if you want'.So the arb trolley stayed on the truck and i think god willing that we shoud now be finished a day and a half early this week.

    Two people and a chipper and you wouldnt be hanging about to clear that lot in a day. Ide say £600 take it or leave it,mate or not.

    Rode in my mates 55 plate defender this morning,we did i suppose a 50 mile round trip. I fell out of it back at my yard and could hardly stand up straight for half an hour.

    costs

    Its not usual to find a chipper hirer that will charge you hourly,its normally a daily rate,no matter what time you collect it/have it delivered,or when you're finished with it.

    The whole inside will also have to be completely redesigned to comply with all the airbag legislation.

    Like to think ime pretty open minded,but i think baiters deserve to have a parting put in their hair by a swift swipe with their own spade.

    I simply tell them to buzz off.

    I just hope the new one has somewhere to put your arms.

    Pal of mines got one 3 or 4 years old and he moans that he only gets 300 miles from £70 odd, and he dont thrash it.

    One of the first mods i did to mine was fill the tubes with green slime,a trolley with a puncture is unusable just when you want to be getting on.

    You're not wrong there Steve,a 'firewood merchant' local to me is putting corsican onto his processor and delivering it out,that i know for a fact was still growing 3 weeks ago.

    Just when you thought you'd seen everything.

    Yes Jon,thats fresh felled ash in cord, ride side.

    They had very low revs at tickover, i liked that.

    This could be the last year for a few of us. I was talking to one of the biggest,if not the biggest harvesting contractor in east anglia this week who is selling ash cord at £70 a ton rideside,and his opnion was that this will continue or rise come 2014.

    Instead of using my 460 all day i sometimes fire up the 660 for an hour or two just because i like using it,when its ticking over you can almost hear it saying sink me into some big wood.And when its cutting at full chat mine whistles like its got some sort of turbo on it. Picking up the 460 after running the 660 it feels like a little 260.

    Spending the working day in the company of deranged youngsters does help.

    A clue to someones age group can sometimes be found in their arbname.
  22. oldwoodcutter
    I slip the 18" bar on for the bigger hardwood logs,turns an ordinary 660 into a bit of an animal.
  23. oldwoodcutter
    Sometimes see my youngsters running about but i tell them not to. There are enough hazards in this game without inviting trouble.
  24. oldwoodcutter
    My mates 55 plate defender is fairly mint and he often cant start it and he has his own key. Hope your mate gets his back though.

    We knocked one over in mundford last year that i measured on the deck at 125 feet.
