<p>Hi Jonesie, I'm looking to buy some new machines, the firm I work for is going to pay for them and ill pay them back weekly, they are called Alltask Ltd and are based in Strood, Kent! I've been in the shop and bought from you and also had gear delivered,I told them I would get a price off you as I knew you sometimes do deals, I'm after a Stihl FS360 brushcutter, with auto cut string head and a 3 blade brushcutter attachment and guard, also a Stihl HS81R hedge cutter and a Stihl BG 86 blower, how much for all including delivery to stood mate?</p>

That's what I was thinking, I've got a folder so I might have to just experiment with different gauges of ally
-
If you get no joy I could have a go at making them up in my workshop, doesn't look too complicated, anyone got any photos of the back of it or a description of any strengtheners or stiffeners on the back of the blade?

Got this as a run around, having a bit of trouble getting the towball low enough for the chipper though.....

Re: Latest in my Arb equipment arsenal Well done Dean, good man. It amused me the first time I went into building where they stitch tarps and curtains for trucks, we are not used to seeing men on sewing machines, but they were the tough uns like yours and not available in pink. Mayhem. If you go by that name in the tree game the old dears will be worried about you flattening their flowers when you are doing trees. I know what you mean Goaty, my name is Simon, I'm a teddy bear really, once I get to talk to the old dears they generally take a shine, always compliment them on their tea, even if it tastes like sh__! They love that. (Or they call the police!) fortunately they don't do that very often

It always raises a smile when people that don't know me walk into the workshop and see a 20 stone heavily tattooed skinhead on a sewing machine! They always ask if I did needlework in school, normally shuts them up when I tell them I learnt sewing mailbags in prison!! (I havnt been to prison BTW)

We use them to insulate high temperature steam valves and flanges in power stations and paper mills, I'm a Lagger by trade (second trade, first trade is a blacksmith) having been in the tree game long, more of a hobby at the moment but really enjoy it, much prefer being out in the fresh air rather than in a stinking red hot turbine but unfortunately trees don't pay enough when your doing it part time.
-
I use a Kevlar thread at work (we make thermal insulation mats) its super strong, not cheap either, let me know if you want a cone of it to find its way to you mate.

I've worked the doors for 20 years mate, SIA license holder, getting a bit too old for all the rolling around on the floor stuff now so mostly do corporate stuff now, premiers, posh restaurants, private functions that sort of stuff, pays well and your not watching your back when your not at work, too many idiots with easy access to naughty stuff and not enough common sense to stop them using it.
-
I use one of these in this situation, it's called a terrasaur, fits on a petrol disc cutter, it's self sharpening, you just turn it round, it cuts stone, steel, plastics concrete the works, it's only cuts about 5" in depth so you have to take it off in chunks but no sharpening of chains, ideal for cutting old railway sleepers too, can't work out how to put a link on here but if you go on YouTube and put in "terrasaur" there is a couple of good videos, they sell them on eBay or most hire shops, they also do them for a 9" grinder
-
Point to note, make sure you get the cam for the wire strop, it's different from the normal rope one, also think its marked with a W, honey bros supplied mine with the extra one for a couple of quid extra so you get both -
It's a piece of cake mate, instructions come with the positioner, even without them it's obvious, there's one spring and its extremely difficult to get it the wrong way round, 10 mins tops.

I've just taken delivery of a new top handle and pole saw, both shinny and orange of the Stihl variety, was wondering how you guys find it best to melt your own ID marks on them?

Just read about this, apparently if you have up to €100,000 in your account they are taking 6.7% over €100k it's 9.9%, sounds fair........NOT!!!!

Good choice Steve, and you gotta be ready for the zombie apocalypse, don't you guys watch doomsday preppers, rather than store 10 tons of pasta and egg powder I'm gonna have a truck like this and make a note of where the preppers live, job done...... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

There were a few mate, many drunken nights in Chatham, that's why I stayed put when I got out, still get to bump into mates that are still serving, always a good excuse for a piss up, although after 12 years the excuse is wearing a bit thin on the other half!!!!

Yes mate, I know mark cunliffe, think he was a QMSI when i knew him, i think? and Cpl George was me appreciate the offer of work Mick, I don't do tree work full time, I'm a Contracts manager for a thermal insulation firm, I do tree work on the railways at weekends and bits of private work here and there, if you need a pair of hands give me a shout, ill always give a good days work.

You are spot on there Mick, it's the launching ramp at Upnor Hard
