  1. Whats the best security for a towable chipper thats stored outside? Any suggestions? Whats best wheel clamp etc and what other things can you have for security? Cheers Chris
  2. Why are the prices so high? its crazy!! Been looking on ebay at transits etc and people want like 3450 for a 52 plate transit with lots of miles on it!! Might have to keep the ldv a bit longer! Was hoping to buy a transit or iveco start of next year.... 04/05 maybe 06 but they still fetch 6k on an 06 reg. is there anywhere else to look other than ebay and autotrader?? Cheers
  3. climbing in trainers and jeans lol you would have thought they'd want to get used to saw pants and boots how they feel and grip....
  4. when do we suspect this to happen? obvioursly a rough, very rough guess lol
  5. I love my 200t with 14" bar.... can't see why you'd want anything bigger/ more numb up in the tree such as a rear handle 200. You can take a hell of a lot down with the 200t then switch to the 660
  6. Why is everyone complicating things? i use my wire core flip line with prussic loop thats it... i use both hands to shorten the line and one to make it longer lol i even have a crab at the other end of the flip line so i can use that end aswell if i want i realise there are mechanical devices out there but i'm happy as i am i was even given a petzl grillion and don't really use it
  7. where is this ring supposed to be then? is it from when the fungi "pops" open? cheers

  11. f r jones sell the ama for 125+ vat
  12. All will vary.... How longs a piece of string? What's the access like, how long will it take to do, how many people needed to do the job, how big of a drag, what machinery needed, To many variables for a question like that
  13. probabilly not in current climate..... Its good not having the stress of organising things at the moment and checking machines and organising staff etc. Just turn up and work for someone else
  14. Too many people round here climbing for between 80-100 a day
  15. Got my 024 up and running today, i had pressure checked as thought there may be an air leak but there didn't seem to be. Fitted a carb repair kit like the one spud shows with the needle etc.... Saw seems to run ok and idle ok, just need to test it out bit to late on for testing tonight. Now considering wether to change it to side chain adjustment or not? think theyre a straight swap....... Also weather to remew the air filter as this is the old mesh one.... But if it isn't broke, why fix it..... its just a firewood saw
  16. What other wood's can be used? oak and beech etc? anything else?? girlfriend wants me to do some....
  17. That was an ACE truck, wish i'd have bought it
  18. PAGE 48 " Abolition of the small trailer exemption Paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 of the Goods Vehicle (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 exempts from operator licensing a ‘small goods vehicle’ forming part of a vehicle combination (not being an articulated combination) where all the vehicles comprising the combination excluding any ‘small trailer’ have a plated weight not exceeding 3.5 tonnes. A small trailer is defined under the Act as a trailer with an unladen weight not exceeding 1020kg. This trailer does not need to be included when calculating the 3.5 tonne limit. However, under the Regulation all the vehicle combination (including any trailer) operating for hire or reward must be included when calculating the weight limit, so the small trailer exemption will be abolished for hire or reward operations from 4 December 2011. However, the small trailer exemption under paragraph 3 of schedule 1 of the Goods Vehicle (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 will remain in place for operators carrying goods other than for hire or reward." Public consultation on implementing EC Regulation 1071/2009 rules concerning the occupation of road transport operator - Consultations - Department for Transport http://assets.dft.gov.uk/consultations/dft-2011-11/dft-2011-11-response.pdf can no one see the bit in bold?? or is it just that most run trailers bigger that 1020kg?
  19. can it not be rigged, cradeled with a tag line to pull it from the property? or is it a case of lifting over etc?? or big weight in limbs?
  20. The upside down bit was just an example, as doesn't it show that there is an air leak when the saw is held at different angles/sides?? etc, sure i've seen it somewhere?? maybe not... but anyway, tried it today and there must be an air leak or something with the 024 so will have to investigate further in the next week or two when i get time
