  1. yes, was just hoping there may be more lol anyhow, i've ordered a piston and cylinder up to do one of the 034's up
  2. Have you checked the compression with a compression tester or just by pulling it over and thinking thats ok? Take the exhaust off and check the piston
  3. Just curious, i have a 2005 200t and its a good runner, just wondering with the age etc if it would be worth doing a compression test on it and maybe fitting a fresh piston to it, seem's as though they've stopped selling the 200t? Just a thought
  4. Still looking to work with new people and new experiences
  5. any suggestions? cheers
  6. are chain brakes the same? maybe the wrap handle, side cover yes.... cant think of much else
  7. Hi there everyone, Just wondering if anyone knows if any parts are compatible? and if there's anything worth saving from X2 034's i have that may come in handy for my 361....? then i can put the 034's up on ebay for auction Cheers Chris
  8. Totally agree I'm the only person that uses my gear so know its ok
  9. I'd give the lad a good ticking off, and explain to him about how it would set back the job and costs.... he's a new lad, not on much money probabily, not aware of the world or the world of work, so doesn't know if he needs to offer to repay for the damages, nor could he probabilly afford. It'll be a good lesson learn't after a ticking off and letting the team rib him for a little bit. Is he even qualified to use a saw or just starting from the bottom? if he's just labourer/ tea boy then why would the saw being under the tree be down to him? who was the last to use it? As said, all the team should have been working together, everything should have been a bit slower possibly with a newbie about, thus why should this happen? You can't really blame the climber, as once he see's all bodies are out of the way and the groundies have cleared it, he can chop away. I'm a climber and know how hard it can be to spot saws/equiptment hidden at the base of a tree etc. Although i have worked with some other climbers that just bomb stuff out of the canopy with no regard for anyone under the tree! and treat equiptment badly..... Choose staff wisely

    One other thing to bear in mind is that if that is the only job someone has in a day, surely they're going to try and push as much out of it as possible..... othere than the other person who's doing it on the way home....

    150-180 i'd have thought, it'd be nice to put 240 on it but... it would only take 30-45mins max..... and that gives me time to pour a brew after
  13. how many module's are there? CHeers
  14. Hmmm, it was some kind of course leading person that told me that... wish i'd have kept his name rather than screwing the piece of paper up and putting it in the bin..... do you know what sort of price, the guy could have been having an off day lol
  15. I spotted your comment on a thread and thats why i went to them
  16. Ordered a new set of chipper blades inc new bolts for my timber wolf 150, ordered them on monday night, they've just arrived now! Genuine timberwolf blades £68.61 delivered to my door. Inc a free mini twix bar lol Great service!! Just thought i'd give a heads up to people who might be after some blades, i'm happy
  17. tried to make one up of my own but lack in imagination and computer programs for this
  18. That was good to watch i'd like to start doing some speedline's this year if the job allows
  19. Thats good to know
  20. Excellent job there and nice weather to top it off, AND BREWS!!! wish all jobs were like that what was the reason for removal?
  21. i would be given the opertunity, but it seems everyone has a chainsaw in their pocket and there at the right time lol there is one tree that i walked past the other day and i can only assume that it had shed a limb then was felled...... it was felled into a farmers field, but was on the side of a road on the road side of the fence..... who's tree is it then? the councils, the farmers, or now the farmers as its in his field?
  22. pm sent
  23. Good work as always james I was on a job the other week where the other climber fracture pruned a couple of old oaks and used a small saw with carving bar on to bore into the stem to create bat holes (tilting bar upwards)
  24. i enquired about the 3 year part time course, the guy on the phone said due to fee's going up etc it'd cost 14k for the part time course needless to say i haven't phoned back.... its a shame as i wanted to do a course.... either the rfs or isa route now....
  25. is there any way that containers can be made as to not be as damp/condense water as much? kingspan siliconed to the roof or anything else (obvioursly done when dry)
