    Chipper Chat!

    If its in its gone, only applies for wood, not concrete, steel or stone. He's talking shite
  8. Nah mine were ex BT ones. On Gecko now velcro tops leather bottom straps

  10. Buy some timber tongs/ pulp hooks then they take the wear.

  12. Just bought a 10" sedgwick planer thicknesser. Does anyone have a manual for it or a copy of it that they could send me. Does anyone know of a fence for it as it was missing. Thanks

    rising costs

    Its all about choices, we had a large Ash stem to fell last week could maybe of felled it alongside house on top of river bank, could of hit the house only had 8ft to play with, went safe aimed nearer the river and that's where it ended, pain in the arse getting 8-10T out of there but at least no damage to listed building. With regards to Merc versus Corsa, its all a numbers game, our business is just small fry in comparison. Suck up the increase and pass it onto customers

    rising costs

    Don't do work in Knightsbridge or cut smaller.
  15. Took an Oak tree out of a river at the start of the year. The whole tree root plate and all had slipped down the cliff, landed on top of 40K of wood bridge snapping it in half. It all ended up in the river. No access for large machinery took us 2 days with a 5t and a 2t digger to get it all out and on top of the bank. Bridge was burnt on site, Cost was over 2K. Oak kept for firewood.
  16. As mentioned check rod diameter and split dies are easier. IIRC do you not lubricate brass with paraffin when cutting threads?

    Hexa chain

    Lad I work with had 2 loops of it on his 500i 20", did not seem that impressed by it preferred standard RS chain.
  18. Nice looking, just keep them away from the marker spray....
  19. Like the extension on the ratchet strap.
  20. Pine martens breed in the wood stores, so need to alternate stores as season changes. Mind you the store is big enough to share being a covered silage pit.
  21. Was looking on fleebay as you do, reconditioned mcb for an oil Rayburn boiler £850 yikes, what price a new one?
