  1. I'm also in the same situation, looking for a new rigging rope... can't decide between the 14mm or the 16mm rope... the marlow and just run through pulleys not natural crotching..
  2. Your joking right?
  3. How much are they though lol??
  4. how much? its unbelieveable to up the price because they know you specifically want a 200t only and not many left.....
  5. Haha, i can listen to most music with no preference, but think that the music from the 80's and maybe 90's etc was very good compaired to todays standards..... seem's a lot more chilled and happier
  6. All dealers i've asked say they've none left..... try get a good one off ebay etc if you can....
  7. That was a great watch!! Thanks for that. I wish i could learn of some people like you as everyone i have worked with up to present would have just felled it and given the bill ... Cheers
  8. Is that you on holiday? or where you live? Says jon is somerset in your signiture
  9. you'd be better off filming and sending a video to you've been framed for 250-00 You'll have to let us all know how it gets on
  10. Iveco's are the way forwards but lets not talk about payload etc
  11. Its daft, the mentality of those that we price against sometimes!! Would love to see how the 150-00 job goes pop corn time
  12. They deffinetly do have a slight sticky throttle or something!! I've spent 3 days solid felling with a new one, rev's don't die down so quick....
  13. Looks ok ot me, you should see some of the crap round here that has been lifted and harshly reduced by so called tree surgeons! Then left to lapse, with big boils on the end with loads of growth from them...... Your job was good
  14. an 044 is a 70 cc saw bud, i used to have one... but ended up selling it for a stihl ms 361 never listen to others i shouldn't
  15. What time would you start work on a sunday morning? Chainsaw and hedge trimmer Working on a site where working at weekends is best so less traffic so.....
  16. What to check for on a second hand ht/hl75? any advice? Cheers
  17. Thing is though to bear in mind is if she does it once she may try it again and others may also try catch 22 here
  18. And where abouts was it??
  19. Good stuff Good to see a nice crane job, look forward to seeing more Think pictures will need formatting or re sizing etc
  20. I think your bob on there at that price.... as for the above post, 20.00 a chain lol thats a rediculous price..... 20 quid for both maybe thats more realistic due to the size of the chain's......
  21. As said buy a secondhand stihl or husky.... whats your budget? what size of saw/cc are you after also?
  22. I haven't used a form for conservation areas... i just send an email off with address and tree location etc.
  23. you don't have to apply in a conservation area.... you just "notify" the council of works to be done, then 6-8weeks turn around, probabilly have an answer before that.
  24. Really good video and a pleasure to watch Is that a job you had to do when subbing? also what rope is that and size? 13mm 45mtr ?12mm etc also you must rate the saw pod? Its nice to reduce with silky's and leave the noisey things in the box lol good to watch
  25. yes they are heavy, have used one when subbing, not sure if i like the finishing cuts made with them, as the oil tank etc can block the view of your cut.....
