    If it's a small tree like that and your experienced and aware of what might happen I cant really see the problem he said he wanted the root to sit back in so he knew it might spring back in job done:thumbup:
  2. Lorry thompson

  3. Lorry thompson
    I would say if in doubt have it out! But that's probably not much help to you mate
  4. Lorry thompson
    Cheers flamin ace I never bothered learning all this the shop knows what we have on our saws so I just go in and say I want a chain for that:blushing: it's a total waste of money think the chains work out less than half the price if you knock them up yourself
  5. Lorry thompson

  6. Lorry thompson

    It's amazing what will stand back up isn't it mate? I was called out to an emergency job once it was a pop was on the other side of a small river in flood and had gone across the road, it was about three foot across the bottom and I cut the stem at about 20 foot and it just slowly stood back up couldn't believe it
  8. Lorry thompson
    That would take the fun out of it:lol:
  9. Lorry thompson
    So would say a stihl chain run on an Oregon bar designed to run on a stihl then cheers for your help
  10. Lorry thompson
    Sorry lads don't think I explained properly I'm not swapping bars around just I have huskys with Oregon bars and chains on apart from the new one, and stihls with stihl bars and chains on but just got Oregon bars for the stihl ground saws basically I'm gonna get a reel of Oregon chain and run them all on the same Chain and bars and don't want to throw away good bars until I change them all round if this all makes sense
  11. Lorry thompson
    as the title says but also wondering about the husqvarna bars and chains etc? :confused1:just i have a mixture of everything and just got a new 372xp from jonesie and that has the husky bar and chain,and what about the drive sprocket does that need to be different?
  12. Lorry thompson

    I've worked with a few lasses over the years j and they all got on fine, only thing I found awkward was if they were ever struggling on an embankment or at lifting something I used to worry about offending them by saying to u need a hand, but I suppose it's obviously worse not asking haha. I would say go for the bigger firms too they seem to accommodate women better in my experience and the lasses I worked with done a mixture of on the tools and pricing etc, like lilltree said women like to see other women doin the job too.
  16. Lorry thompson

  17. Lorry thompson

  19. Lorry thompson

  20. Lorry thompson
    Aye there was the big cavity in the middle mate was handy the garden was already smashed up I just didn't go too high up dropped the two stems on top of the one that already broke off, tree was down in three cuts. It's scary to think it could of fallen on the house and killed someone
  21. Lorry thompson
    Wish I took more pics of the fallen stem the tip of it just missed the other cottage reckon god was a tree surgeon to drop it in there so perfect haha
  22. Lorry thompson

  24. Lorry thompson
    we were stuck on top of a hill freezing! sorting this out. the tree snapped in half on the friday night, think we could put the first bit in the stunt fell column which was done by god:laugh1:
  25. Lorry thompson
    I didnt make it but my mate picked me a lovely new 372 from you cant wait to get it dirty! he signed all the paperwork stuff so i think that means you can send him saws so il get him to order them and he can invoice me:thumbup1: solves the problem
