    them safetrack machines are brill, its fun just driving them on/off the trailer never mind going on slopes, got a job where the chipper needs to ford a river with 2ft sheer banks, approx 18inch deep with slow flow and boulders, and the local plant hire centre has one.. cant wait:thumbup:

    no couldnt even get to split a log today, that was really unusual - the logs split themselves today.. think it happened when the cuts were made..

    yes bob, sorry bob, won't happen again bob, haven't seen one for ages and it was the best bit of a really boring day:thumbup1:

    might be worth getting the 'good' ear defenders too, the parts for the mod are pretty cheap, think it was £35 including new bigger dogs at the same time as well as the re-tune

    my ms460 was done at local stihl dealer, big exhaust port (stihl part) replaces original exhaust cover, retuned and difference is really amazing, revs up faster cuts quicker and can wake a whole village at 8am:thumbup1:

    idiots had me parked in a compound and asked me to pull forward a bit, as i did so i noticed the wheels on the trailer were locked solid but dragged it a good 10ft, they said 'that'll do your trailer brakes work fine' they had pulled the trailer handbrake without telling me the sneaky tank dipping, chassis tapping, wheel wiggling moronic little oiks. gave one of them a face full of diesel soot with a well aimed turn of the key:thumbup1:

    saw them pull a woman over in sutton coldfield last week, she wasnt very happy.. vosa had a tranny van with numberplate recognition cameras all over it, dont think i'd want to stop either though..

    not like mine the other day on a gentle sideslope, chipper nozzle vibrated round downhill a couple of times..what a mess by the time we spotted it..
  16. armchairarborist
    yes think it would have been an alder plank..frank:thumbup1:
  17. armchairarborist
    never seen anything as shiny and new as that before.. heres one i was using recently, its getting a ram upgrade very soon to a 6inch ram, old fordson major is already struggling a bit with it so that might need a replacement pump or something.. ah yes and the sliding plate at the bottom needs a lip to save knees

    its for welding chassis and other heavy bits as well as heating/expanding metal and cutting, im quite happy welding with oxy-acetylene unlike mig which im not very good with, i believe it gives a better weld if done properly. Dean would you mind letting me know how much you pay for rental and if thats for the whole set or just the bottles? thanks
  21. armchairarborist
    got some welding to do soon to various bits and pieces, not interested im mig i want proper oxy-acetylene, i know obvious bits like chaining them up etc but theres something telling me they cant be kept at home, is this right? any idea how much a set up costs? they dont have to be the big bottles as smaller ones would take up less room if they are available. any help / advise appreciated. Ed.
  22. armchairarborist
    railed both sides? we usually put palings on same side as posts to save width. sometimes notch posts to get rails in more, thats a wide fence..
  23. armchairarborist
    dont mind doing the odd fence job, but i dont like making gates.. doesn't stop people asking me to make them though.
