  1. Wasn't much discount really, a bit on a few things here and there, didn't take much notice of the saws though i'm afraid! Honey brothers seem'd to be the best on prices
  2. BTW The traffic yesterday on the way home from the airb fair was rubbish wasn't it! was just at the side of you in your 4x4 What the other contractor did was ott and has ruined the tree, it'll be on the fell list now?
  3. BOOOOOOOORRRRRIIIINNNNNGGGG Oh well lol like you say, least its down in a safe position and no damage, you'll be ready for the next one then just shows there must have been plenty of tension and compression on it unless it just fell over with the root plate still attatched?
  4. Will it be aimed at all levels of experiance? hope it doesn't all go over my head. Will it be identification, talking about what it does to the tree What kind of rots, dieback in crown? roots etc , risks and management stratagies etc?
  5. But Does it have a Tpo or in a Conservation area? You still haven't said

  7. Older engines seem to be better than the new ones.... As said the 2.0 hdi is a good lump, I have an older berlingo with the 1.9d engine in, and some prefer them! We have a 307 1.6 hdi, seems flat for a car on pick up, apparently returns 52mpg according to the trip meter, a friend has a peugeot expert van 1.6hdi and says the fuel consumption isn't good.... Please look up particulate filter on google before you buy one (just incase it has one)
  8. Whats the weather seem like down there tomorrow? Keep seeing conflicting weather forecasts lol Or maybe saturday is looking to be the better day? What you thinking?
  9. Dog tooth is probabilly the way to go, also when i do my back cut/ release cut i do a level cut an inch or so under neath, rather than the cutting from above, down at an angle If you get me lol

  15. Wanting a 2nd hand one for an 034 so wondered what other models fitted

  17. Was the limb that snapped off being supported or supporting another limb? Rope and capstan and cut away
  18. Are clutch covers/casings the same for 024 and 036 etc? like from 024 through to the bigger saws?
  19. Most boots will have a metal plate in the sole won't they? Its just i had a nasty incident with a blackthorn branch i don't wish to repeat lol
  20. I'm in desperate need of some new boots! Not sure which to go for? There's haix blue mountai 130.00 Haix protector pro's for 160.00 Tried on some arbotec?arborfell? they were comfy but made by elten (they make stihl boots and the last ones killed me!) 160.00 aQUA fell Worried about the protector pro's soles..... or has this been sorted? been told only 3 month warrenty? thats crap....
