    Not my worst cock up but almost finished a line of connies remove and grind. Was undercut on my already reasonable price but negotiated a midway deal as they know my work and trust me and arranged for some log goblins to clear all the logs. Put it as 5 days for two of us - wrong ☹️ Done 6 days so far and got 6 more stumps to grind tomorrow morning - horrible soil, full of stones, on my 3rd set of teeth after 17 stumps. plus point is I picked up two jobs from neighbours at a better rate 👍

    Nice tidy job that!

    Would be interested in the HB20 if you do decide to sell?

    I normally get one sharpen on the 50% of multitips that aren’t wrecked but I run rhinos as the leading teeth as they seem to be more aggressive when new and easier to get an edge on with a diamond disc

    Yeah hawthorn 👍

    When I was in the market for my first grinder I emailed the Laski importer/dealer for a price and info but didn’t get a reply. Went to Arbrep for the Predator

    Another vote for unipower at Dunmow - very good to deal with

    Stihl 015

    rapalaman replied to Mike Hill's topic in Chainsaws

    Just picked up this 011av, Thought I’d give it a try so fresh fuel And it was up and running in around half a dozen pulls. Seems to run ok, will need to adjust carb a little to get it idling better. Oil pump seems to work, no bar or chain with it. Question is - do I shell out for the missing parts and use it or sell as is? Any ideas if it has a value or for spares?

    And now worth? a mate bought 400 quids worth quite near the start and doesn’t know the password. Has it on an old hard drive but has no clue to what he chose all those years ago. Currently “worth” several Million but without a password it’s got no value at all ☹️

    Pics show for me- iPhone running safari

    As Gav says - mixed in it’s fine. Had a couple of cubic meters that I’ve burned over the last two winters.

    Yeah they have it done like this every few years. I think it’s a council owned tree, never seen the work being done so don’t know who by

    Finally got back there and got these two pics of the finished article

    Wrong tree in the wrong place, trunk looks in poor condition. fell and replace with something more suitable to be totally honest with you. Sorry but no amount of propping can change the facts
  16. rapalaman
    Ok cheers - still doesn’t show in the original post. iPhone, safari
  17. rapalaman
    There’s no link?

    Looks more like a hedge trimmer to me! 😏
  19. rapalaman
    Location will help?

    Yeah they thought they could dig it out, then tried to burn it. Even if they had dug it out they would never have got it out of the hole or through the narrow gate without a hell of a lot of graft with an axe and mattock.

    Luckily I gave a price of between two figures so told her if was the higher of the two. Still a bit under what I would have quoted, but after a 30 mile drive I didn’t want to turn around and leave it. Also picked up some more work there so not a total disaster 👍

    Did this one during the week - first photo sent by customer so I gave a ball park figure. The reality was a bit different! Second pic shows what it was really like - turned out to not be too bad and was done and finished in 3 1/2 hours. Nearly 3ft deep but was pretty soft - a pine of some kind but customer didn’t know what

    The predator 360sw has a laski sticker on it - same machine different colour. The fsi B22 is tempting for the drive - wish they made a 25hp or so model though
  24. rapalaman
    Try a couple and see, but probably gonna be too hard to split by hand. Always split green if possible!

    I’m used to sloppy seconds!
