    We had a timber wagon come in today to remove some oak off site and he was telling me he might have to sell his wagon and get a job because he's struggling because of fuel prices. He leaves home at 4 in the morning and gets in at 8pm. He reckons there is loads of timber being processed and and the mills are screaming out for it but the fuel cost is crippling him, sad to see.

    Not sure if it's any use to you mate but I think you can get a machine (don't know they are called ) that's more of a corkscrew which grinds clippings etc up might last a bit longer. I saw one on the side of a chipper years ago think it was called landforce chipper or something.

    I love a drink but agree with you lads I put a lot more money in my motors than my belly but the tax on drink wouldn't cover fuel taxes and all the dole warriors would get extra money for the rise in alcohol so we'd be back to square one haha

    Thought so mate. My mate cleared a HV line to spec once and when he was finished I leant on a branch of that tree when talking to him and I got a static shock from the tree scary stuff!
  20. Lorry thompson
    I think even I light shock is enough to alter your heart beat too and it can kill you later

    When instead of being on facebook prevuing on lasses photos who you don't even know you are on a mostly male site talking about trees and chainsaws and the only cheating you do is when you cross the line from stihl to husky or vice versa

    Do you lads use hand winches a lot? And what situations are they great for don't mean sound thick just genuine advice. I've never felt the need for one apart from windblown etc.
  24. Lorry thompson
    That's because you have climatised to the southern temperatures mate I remember the first time I worked down south walking round in a t shirt in winter they thought I was the local weirdo haha
