  1. This saw will have come out when there wasn't very good oil on the market, oil nowadays has come on leaps and bounds in quality and lubrication properties etc.... Some old saws say 25:1 but are run on 50:1 now due to better oils. Someone will be along shortly and help you further

  7. I ment 7.5t with a grab or i know someone with a mb trac and a timber grab Where there's a will, there's a way
  8. What size of rope are you using? I've got yale xtc 13mm and just trying out the hc, but fancy a spider jack, but don't want to change my rope just yet, been told 13mm doesn't tend well??
  9. I'm with you one the one cut, or as least as possible, onto the back of a wagon and off to the tip....
  10. Stihl ms460
  11. There is a lot of timewasters out there hodge, but take the rough with the smooth, maybe a lucky exit and they may have knocked you on completion of work or took a while to pay maybe..... at least they rang you though so you can re arrange things.... if necessary, have the day off, and relax
  12. I'm a post 97 lad My iveco is a 3.5t tipper and its gtw is 6000kg. All i have to tow really is a timberwolf 150 which timber wolf states is 737kg or 748kg..... so i'm ok to to this i think.... With the post 97 licence does that mean i can only tow it and not have a load on the back as that will take me over the gvw? I hate seeing these threads appear, as people say one thing then the other.... and you don't know who to listen too.... should i just say bugger it and go book my trailer test B+E? and forget about this SILLY topic once and for all?
  13. is it dismantling? pruning? and whats the wage for the day? cheers
  14. Can you give me some examples so i understand what you mean? Cheers
  15. ok was just looking to see if they would warrent a piston each at some point to keep them going One of the 200t's when i bought it came with a 12" bar on it, but the bar groove seem's to wide on it and the chain seems to "rock" a lot side to side on that bar even when correctly tensioned. What would have caused it to do that? I've put a different bar on it now, so is the other scrap? Cheers
  16. How much did you get sorted for for the day with operator? And the person would just come with the chipper and chip, you'd sort the truck or where to chip to? Cheers Chris
  17. That sounds awfull Hope he recovers ok. All the risks for 100-150 a day don't seem worth it when something like this pops up
  18. Checked my 200t's the other week for compression, one was 148-150 psi and the other 155-160 psi.... Are these figures ok? or is the first one a little low? cheers
  19. Don't get me wrong, i don't have loads of money, but when i looked into buying a leaf blower, for me as it is used on every job i bought a brand new one.... a stihl bg86 hand held, it was only 221 inc vat from jonesies. £221-00 for a blower that gets used on every job, everyday and will last a long time is peanuts imo, and not worth even considering 2nd hand at that price. I'm sure others would agree. If you cannot afford this then look at other makes that the sites on the right hand side of the page sell as there will be some good deals to have Good luck
  20. Haha, i was the same at the start, didn't want to use it lol. Now everything gets thrown into action straight away to get your money's worth out of it Also i'm not a shiny gadget man either.... just to clear that up
  21. anything from 180 to 250 ish i would have thought
  22. I'm tight and don't like the initial outlay i know what you mean though, you've had 3 years out of the tyres then pay out for some good ones and they'll last you well
