  1. some good pictures there, may i ask where you live? i'm not far from bowland either, only in barnoldswick
  2. the other way around bud, just done them, its 645.00 for the cs 30/31 then 485 for the cs 38 then 320 for the cs 39 there the price's where i'm doing my courses anyways
  3. i'm 21 years old, 5' 10 last time checked and only 10 3/4 stone :eek: can't put on weight at all lol
  4. i've recently done the cs38 course, there was a chap on there whom got a "blue book" when he got his certification in the early nineties. He's taking a young lad on so the college told him he has to do the cs38/39/40/41 etc
  5. you got a link please?
  6. Something is always worth more to yourself than it is to others, i have many an item like this, but to put a realistic price on it is a different matter, insurers go off price guides etc, you can never replace a vehicle for the same money to get a newer one. Depreciation has to be taken into account etc. At least you got a settlement and yor truck back its yours to do as you please with
  7. taking all this on board will hopefully put into practice had to wash my gear today though due to it getting soaked and dirty, i had a better day monday when it was dry lol
  8. theyre welded ones, so i guess it makes them pretty old? going to look up some prices and see what theyre like possibly
  9. i'll give it a go tomorrow, but it may be the best idea to buy some new ones, and that goes for the rest of the gear seem's as its secondhand, for piece of mind....??
  10. it could be that im too close to the tree and upright, i do think they need a tickle up to get them sharper maybe...
  11. i'm not too bad at spiking, sometimes even in the dry they do not seem to dig in properly..... it may be my positioning etc it only happens now and again. these are not razor sharp etc little bit rounded to the end... can you sharpen them again with them being steel?
  12. Good evening all, Been out doing a little climbing tonight, i've been climbing a sycamore tree which i'm due to be felled this week, it's been a little bit wet tonight, but i'm struggling a bit with my spikes, sometimes they do not seem to sink into the trunk correctly and just skate down the side of the tree shaving the bark off and i feel like i have to stab them in at times The spikes are quite old as i got my gear second hand, should they be a really good razor sharp point on these? or is it me? and how i've been climbing? cheers chris
  13. ahhh right, was just looking at these lol budget of 2-2.5k when sold a few things does it have the old 2.5 engine in still? and how do you find it? (sorry to de rail thread)
  14. 18 stoner, what vehicle is it you have?
  15. Yup, been there done that with a 390 i had...... never again thanks, its not a hard task but takes time and a pain in the arse!! Pro saws all the way!
  16. Where's the best place to get one of these smaller chippers from? maybe a towable one and most likely second hand. i've been looking for a chipper but money is tight as is space lol Sorry to ask this, its just i know none of the names or specs or what to go for cheers chris
  17. Evening all, i have a spare 020t knocking around in the garage, i got it ut of a job lot of spares and managed to get it running, ive put a few parts on it but now i only need to get a side cover inc the chain brake and chain brake handle..... Are these really expensive to buy new? as can't seem to find any second hand ones..... Also on this saw there seems to be no plate on the exhaust like my other saws...... the whole area of the exh outlet on show... its usually like 20mm x 25mm open isn't it if you get my jist? cheers everyone
