    If this helps,the lads i know in the grass game charge between £15 and £20 per hour to mow and strim,usually a fortnightly cut,they generally dont take grass away,and go at a nice steady pace all day. And 1 or 2 seem to have a better 'lifestyle' than me.

    mrs oldwoodcutter noticed a fat tick on one of her cats faces at the weekend. She handed me some tweezers out of her makeup bag,and i nipped the blighter out.

    Yes,ide agree with that,tall ones are great for high hedge work,but a little on the clumsy side for low hedges in small gardens.

    Looked like a nice little number mate.

    All the best Lumpit. When i hear my boys moaning about the wind,or rain,or the prospect of a rotten day,i always say that ive known a lot of people that would've liked to have seen it.

    To some of the scum that live in our country,everything is just waiting to be stolen.

    My 460 is such a good all rounder i seldom leave home without it. The 660 is a close second but my muscels are getting too old to use it all day.

    Ive known them cut down a conifer out of a line,so they can nick someones forklift and drive it through the gap and out of the back of the yard. Little tinkers.

    None,nowadays old age is creeping up on me.

    I was behind you yesterday when you were towing it Ed,and i thought to myself i could do with one like that,although i probably wouldn't have as much weight on it as you had,or go that quickly with it lol.

    Went out pricing up after tea from massages off the phone,got back 8.15. Got a few days work from that,so makes it worthwhile. Hereabouts,if you leave a potential customer waiting days til you find time to go and see him,by the time you get there the job will have been done and the tree turned into firewood.
  16. oldwoodcutter
    Yes,I did that but couldn't get the blinkin thing back wound up again.Spent 1 evening with it on my lap but wouldn't go back from together for all the tea in china.

    Ive found that stihl green is healthier when using topping saw or hedgetrimmer on still air days. So now use it all the time in everything with a 2 stroke engine.

    Dont like the look of that lot. If it were in my yard ide be tempted to chuck some diesel over it and fire it up out of the way.
  19. oldwoodcutter
    Hi Stumpy,how you doin mate,that nature reserve not been the same since they let you loose on it with a chainsaw lol.

    Mate of mines got one with 'first aider' on the back, does that count?

    I sometimes find that my 660 with the 30" bar bogs down a bit in very hard wood,it is then best to put on the 25" bar. Also have an 18" bar but its then a bit of a handfull. When its really cutting it whistles like its a turbo.

    A blinking long time ago,we had a fella on the team who was what you would nowadays call a pedo. Because of his reputation any school leaver joining us at work would be very wary of him,to the point of not wanting to work alone with him. One day my old sparring partner waited til after dinner, then went to creepys bag when he wasnt about,and dropped the biggest dead rat by the tail into his lunchbox,put the lid on and replaced it in his bag. Of course there was hell to pay next morning,but no-one split,and he cleared off shortly after,but i never forgottten that.All dead now though.

    You're right there Slack,he has only got one arm,he accidently lopped the other one off with his chainsaw some time ago.
  24. oldwoodcutter
    I use my 460 on the big stuff,and the 660 on the very big stuff,specially oak.

    For those of a comical disposition,David is trying his hardest to get a foot into the world of hedges and trees.I am endevouring to help him by offering some days work,and what to some may seem a silly question,is one of his first jobs in this field - Tim.
