  1. Tbh at 100.00 you won't get anything thats up to much I'll get a link of a saw i bought a little while ago just because it was cheap and i thought i'd have one just because it was cheap and i was intreigued lol Its a top handle and is ok for what i paid i have 200t's anyway but just wanted one
  2. There are requirements also to enter the isa cert? i seem to reccolect you need a few years experiance or so, i'm sure i read something like that when i looked at it a while ago....
  3. Been planting whips, creating a hedge and a plantation, staking and fitting tubes all week Good to know some get planted back rather than just removed was a good feeling!

  5. That is definetly nasty, very lucky bus driver there! Is it the owner of the tree that is now liable for what has happened?
  6. ahhh, but there's a few different ones, whats the difference? And a lock jack isn't it just a cord you lift up to let line through? what sort of braking is there?
  7. :thumbup1:I'm only just thinking of trying the hitchclimber and v.t, its only been sat in a bag for the last 5-6 months lol spiderjack looks good! I'll be interested in answers from this thread They do lock jacks that start at 70.00 don't they in jonsies, not sure what theyre like.... spider jack looks good i'll say again lol
  8. i've got the local one in my phone ready to ring, i'll give them a bell in the next couple of days, i have a couple of small chip sites but they can't handle many loads so its good to have a handfull then you don't have to move the chip far do you and its hassle free giving it away if people will take it
  9. ahhh, yeah on the back road, will give them a call! Good thinking, keep meaning to ring up local golf courses but i'm sure they don't have wood chip paths etc....
  10. i wouldn't be bothered about that, it may just knock your speedo out a little.... could check with a sat nav
  11. Chris watsons will have loads in, just go buy a few wheels with tyres with good tread, straight swap over when you get home ahhh, on off road ones..... hmmmm still worth a call though
  12. i'm located near colne/barnoldswick so wherever isn't much of a drag knowledge of chip sites allover is good though
  13. There any lancashire way?
  14. Does the job have to be a decent size'd one or over a certain amount of money for you to start including terms and conditions? 150-200 + etc cheers and do you always try to get in writing? i have some t&c's given to me to look at
  15. Hope you priced it well
  16. The back isn't strictly just ally, it has the steel uprights for the dropsides to fix to and steel plates down the sides, but the drop sides are ally and the floor is checker plate
  17. Hi there, I recently changed my truck, not mechanical reasons etc just wanted better steering lock, bit more updated looks, bit better brakes and central locking etc. Now my old truck, i changed the back on it to an alloy back, behind the cab there is space for a 19" stronghold box for tools, then there is the tipper back. Its a good truck, old 2.5 transit engine but turbo'd and its a good strong tipper. Just considering my options, 1, whether to remove the back and keep it for my new truck. 2, sell with the back on as more saleable. I weighed the truck the other week and it weighed 2150 kg, thats with me at 70 kg and then my extended sides on and a head board! so it weighs in the region of 1950kg - 2000kg 3, just keep it as its bought and paid for I must admit, i do get attatched to things and struggle to let go sometimes will put up some pics if necessary, just after some opinions
  18. what size bar do you run on it and what sort of wood do you cut up to though? with your climbing saw?
  19. why not ask who you bought it off?
  20. Mr lowe Really good chap is phil he's a member on here somewhere, type in lowe on members search
  21. Not used them, i always shop at jonsies, never bought any other chain than stihl though.... will have too look at these oregon ones... but not sure
  22. haha thats where he's lurking
  23. Just do my saws as and when needed, blow air filters esp 200t, sharpen when necessary. Give them a wipe over when you've been working in the rain and the saws covered in wet sawdust/ or dry depending how long its been left. I do like clean airfilters when i turn up to a job, this and a sharp chain most important 200t sucks for amount of crap getting to air filter
