  1. Like both wesbites chaps
  2. I should hope so will ask accountant
  3. I don't have one to click Should get one sorted really
  4. i also need to look into this, bout 7.00 a week isn't it...
  5. Just get the 660 and be done with it if you can afford. its about capacity and capability.... They're not that heavy, you'll get used to it and find it a breeze after you've had a go with an 880 for a bit I prefer to get the 660 out
  6. THIS SUBJECT WAS ON TV THIS MORNING TALKING ABOUT YOUR LASS AND THE EXACT SAME PICS!!!! WELL DONE
  7. I must admit i do like colours like that although they do have different applications, as has been said plant machinery, stump grinders/chippers etc. Stands out from the crowd, yes and could possibly lessen the chance of theft
  8. i love my 064 it'd be a shame to replace it when the time comes but it'll be a 660
  9. One i use for a company is very hard to engage the chain brake, and when its on it sits very close to the exhaust.... this may be due to lack of maintenance though...
  10. My girlfriend is brilliant at music, has grade 7 in flute, has grades in a few other instruments. Is sorting some stuff out towards her masters. And is in her last placement in becoming a music teacher! Really proud of her ! Keep up the music and playing! its excellent to be able to play an instrument!
  11. You sure....
  12. They're good till they get nicked Puts me off getting one when my friend got his pinched. That said.... they are very good Sorry to be of no help
  13. Why do people always want stuff done on the cheap? but when you deal with them they want top wack? Why do ignorant people always slag off softwood? Why do gardeners take on treework then call you in, and think the tree surgeon is on a good do for the day? not realising how much equiptment/experiance/work and insurance goes into the job.... Someone i rent land off wants a tree removing and logging up.... he's going to come with me as "i want all the logs cutting at 90 degree's" so they can be split and not slide away. Offer a splitting service but wants doing for a months rent...... this is a 350-400 quid job though .... Why do people not like others making money? Profits not a dirty word is it! an why just earn a wage When/what time do you just say NO! im no pushover Or do you keep the peace... i'd rather say NO Sorry for the rant, any advice for the above? it may also help others in same/simialr predicament.
  14. Excellent, you learn something new every day
  15. i've a 200 back handle and wonder why i got it sometimes.... will probs keep it to see if i ever do any carving lol
  16. couriers just been so made a brew, going to get changed and go and split some logs i think Could do with washing work vehicles also
  17. 460 it is then i've a 441 and a 064. I must say that i'm a stihl man, but i've been climbing for a guy on here and been using his husky 372xp and wow what a saw love it. Sorry for information totally useless for you lol
  18. Why are you lot not working today and are on here ?? Person i usually subbie climb to said they'd ring monday and let me know what days this week they need me. rang and said wed thur fri. so left me scratching my head today. Really need to sort out getting told in way more advance from this company. Anyhow i've been to the bank, and am waiting for the courier to call to pick up my stump grinder wheel, as the multi tip one i ordered wasn't the same as mine so getting one made up off my old one. Alls not lost so whats your excuse??
  19. does it really pull the 25" bar well though and not bog down? i've always used a 460 on a 20" and a 660 on a 25-36"
  20. its not much but i'd empty it also weight on the back will play with the brake readings due to the load compensating valve
  21. Been and ordered some new glasses up and theyre coming next weekend so chuffed
