    Quite right. "An inch at the bottom is worth a foot at the top" is very much true. Most valuable timber is at the bottom of the tree, so it pays to cut low

    Buy yourself a Bullman-esq throwing axe. Talking to the next door but one farmer this morning, apparently someone tried to break in to his place a early morning on sunday. His son ran out of the house with a starting pistol (gun dogs) firing blanks in the air, soon got them moving :L

    No they don't have cut protection. Who actually uses "proper" chainsaw gloves though? £10 from Northwest farmers. Used them fencing today as well, still impressed. Price wise I get through a pair of "builder" (Towa type) every two weeksish. They cost £3.50, so if the Stihls last 6 weeks they are not doing bad.
  17. Sam Thompson
    HELL NO. Unless they are old and nice, or female, young and pretty.

    Who'd have thought it. Stihl can make something other than saws that works! had a pair of "Carver" gloves for about two/three weeks now and I'm really impressed. They were expensive, about £10, but worth it. Good grip even when there wet, nice and cool, good velcro strappy bits, and a nice tight fit so easy to tie ropes etc. Don't look that tough, the curse of stihl gear, but we shall see Pretty impressed though, cooler than the "builder" type gloves I tend to wear.

    Thats a lot of timber! Harvester, better tracked if it is that bad. Good luck, if you need a hand cutter let me know

    I like my 2002 Peugeot Partner It's no VW but for the money its bob on. Motorway run this weekend with a canoe on the roof about 43mpg. My old man (6'4) has plenty of room. Not fast, but not bad. It's got a 1.9 but the lack of turbo shows. Tax is alright and insurance on its cheaper than anything else I could find, main reason I got it Dad has a Combo, Connect, Astra and Kangoo for his boys, I think mine is second to the Transit in "specs"- but cheaper to buy, run and insure. The Berlingo and Partner are the same vehicle underneath.
