I can reccomend A-Plan for insurance, they didn't bat an eyelid at a 110 tipper conversion and were a lot cheaper than anyone else!

I might have one in my shed of dead Kawasaki strimmers, I'll have a look tomorrow...

My old 200tdi gets 30-35mpg usually, so about the same as anything else! But if it will be used mostly on road comfort might be an issue...

I believe that professional models are easier to take apart and work on, so I'd steer clear of the 170/180 etc. I'd look on ebay for an 024/MS240 or 026/MS260 - this one looks like it might be worth a punt.., STIHL 026/MS260 PROFESSTIONAL CHAINSW/ FORESTY GRADE | eBay

Climber or Groundy with own ~3.5T tipper needed this Saturday Mid Devon
jrose replied to arbmark's topic in General chat
If you're desperate I've nothing on Saturday. It's a bit of a trek, doable though. Give us a shout if you don't find anyone closer... 07882 101819 -
Landy? Will carry more than any of the others, easier to convert, better off road, cheaper parts etc... Brought mine for £1900, tipper conversion was £1500ish

Will be going Gloucestershire - Norfolk on Friday 31st evening, returning 2nd of June in afternoon. No room for passengers on way back, but can carry some stuff?

Hi all, I'm going to a stag do in Norfolk on the last bank holiday of May, followed by the wedding the next weekend (1st June). As it's quite a way to go from Gloucestershire, I'm considering staying over for the week, and wondered if anyone needed a hand for a day or two? CS30/31/38/39, Woodchipper & Brushcutter ticket, First Aid. Landy tipper. Not going to be bringing loads of kit, but can chuck climbing stuff and a saw on... Cheers Joe

Husky for me, Gloucestershire. Forestry, arb, hedge laying, bit of carving...

shouldn't he be wearing a proper lid with chinstrap, and probably gloves

If it's a 365 from the states and only going to be used to cut softwood, it might be worth seeing if you can get it with one of their funny chains on, I'm not sure if it's skip? or semi skip? That way it might handle a 28" bar, not going to be ideal but should do it I would have thought.

The arrow one takes you to the first unread post in the thread, so if you want to look at one with lots of pages and can't remember where you finished before it takes you straight there...

I think yellow is meant to show up better in the daytime and also in the urban environment, orange better at night/poor light and also in vegetation, hence railways requiring orange...
-
I've said it before, but my vote for the best all round saw is the Husky 365 - similar price to the 550xp, but it's a 70cc pro design...
-
Truly sorry to hear that mate

Now I've finally got a coat of paint on I'm not too ashamed to post a pic of my baby all that's left to do now is get some greedy boards made and signs to go on.
-
Glad I've got it right I still worry a bit as carrying these poles is a bit like Land Rover jousting, but as far as I'm aware I'm doing nothing wrong... Note these pictures were taken off the public highway (just in case)

I've looked into this, and even went into the local police station to check my findings. Basically, I need to transport 30' douglas poles on a 110 land rover, and needed to know if I can do it. The rules as I understand it: Front overhand can be a maximum of 2 metres Rear overhang can be up to: 1 metre with no action needed, 2 metres if "End made clearly visible" 3.05 metres with a marker board such as this Any more than 3.05m backward or 2m forward and you go down the road of attendants, police notification etc. Here's the Department of Transport PDF And this page has a useful table at the bottom

This happens quite a bit round us, it's amazing how much "dead wood" that seems to conveniently fall in perfect lengths, and thoughtfully stacks itself by the side of the track for easy collection Just because it's fallen doesn't mean it's going to waste - it might be brought by someone, or left for habitat. Contact the FC and ask to buy a dead tree off them, then you won't have to worry about noise if it's all legit.

Just found this and thought it worthy of a share, interesting reading Of particular interest was this bit which I will now include on all invoices... https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guide-to-managing-cashflow

Doesn't really work as far as I know, birds get used to it after a bit and then back to square one. Nottingham council tried a robotic one a few years ago, I think that had slightly better results but still not brilliant IIRC BBC NEWS | England | Nottinghamshire | Robotic falcon scares off pigeons

My first saw and the one I'd go for to do everything would be a Husky 365 over a 550/560. Cheaper than a 560xp by nearly 100 quid on FR Jones, more grunt maybe not quite as whizzy though. 70cc as opposed to 60cc, will pull a 18" or 20" all day long. I'd steer clear of the 50cc saws if you want one to do everything, these are very good for limbing and small trees but not so good for ringing up...
-
I got one in November to replace my old non xtorq 365, for one saw that can do everything it's pretty well the best option, also the cheapest pro 70cc saw about by far - cheaper then a 560xp and more power!

I've picked up a few metal ones from car boots etc that do the job for about £1 each like these log splitting wedges | eBay
