  1. I just gets a number of sheets from Costco and leave them folded to the size I want, Think they were £20 a pair when I got them, gone up since then. Got about 6 of them now. Heavy Duty Reversible Blue and Silver Tarp, 2 Pack | Costco UK
  2. Where possible we put a load of sheets/tarpaulins down saves a shit load of time.

    What gear???

    Quite common with the modern low slung harness designs, you get used to it and the benefits in ease of movement outweigh the downsides.
  4. That's what I did, tight scot and all.
  5. Am I right in thinking Henchman are the importers now. Ted @easy-lift guy may have more info as he made them.
  6. Pick the saw up and practice finding the balance point in all planes and get the feel for how much pressure you need on the back handle to keep it level before you start cutting. As well as a good bar and chain.
  7. Nope, not just you. Its either sharp or sharpened, no inbetween. Struggled in the past with dull chains total waste of time.
  8. Fond memories of Otterburn in the 90's, reading pace notes in a cosworth at night was interesting, bloody quick in sections and lots of yumps to settle the stomach. Those were the days motoring news tarmac rallies.
  9. What's the thinking about ropes for Spiderjack 2. Am using drenaline at mo and don't particularly like it, hard on the hands and creeping through SJ. Previous rope was blue tongue much nicer to grip I am 58 yrs young. Was thinking of moving drenaline over to use as my SRT rope and getting a new DRT rope.
  10. Really depends on what pipes are available on the boom at the moment, If its piped to the tip of the boom already with a pair of pipes your almost there.

    Maybe not from the petrol, could it be coming into via the tank breather system, dust from chipping or exhaust particulates?
  12. More jobs for the boys again.

    Bald, The ones at ours over the Balloch from you, are slow to come to leaf this year as you say was cold for a long period (down to -18 for around 6wks) and then cold winds. The young ones planted about 5-10 yrs ago are doing much better.
  14. Campbell plant hire would rent you a tracked forst chipper for a couple of days. Campbell Plant Hire – Plant Hire and Sales
  15. Hodge. Good to see you back around.
  16. Never got on with them personally, Ok for cutting in ditches etc. Flexible shaft may not like a blade. Prob need a bit more power.
  17. Sorry couldn't remember, looking good.
  18. What about the rabbit run in the back garden? IIRC
  19. Agree entirely with you up to 5" trunks blade OK after that easier with chainsaw. You can do larger with a clearing saw its just a faff, and you often have a holding peg in the middle.
  20. Husqvarna Scarlett blades are 8". Stihl may do up to 225mm.
  21. Stihl used to do an angle bend for the polesaws, you could try that, if they still do them. Never seen one mind.
