All these years a Lumberjack in France and you've never come across a high lift wedge...?

What HAVE you been using all this time...?

Ty

My previous one was 2 pieces of metal (steel?), very old but lost in a river a couple of weeks ago.

Stuart, i have asked you to stop contacting me, I have blocked you on FB, I have blocked your emails as ignoring them didn't stop you from harrasing me, constant sniping and slagging, this is not banter its worrying me.

I am trying to be polite in all of this, please take the hint.

Interesting.

 

Can i ask why you dont use a larger saw, like a Stihl MS660, or similar?

I would imagine the same reason I wouldn't, snedding a few trees like that with a 660 would be hard work!

Hi

 

If someone trys to sell you a saw outside your house, then I would consider its nicked or fake without going any further.

when will people learn?

Hi Guys,

I have been using mini diggers on and off for a few years, usually hired in for a day or two here and there, and feel that I am reasonably competent in their use.

I was thinking that it would be good to get some hints and tips up from more experienced users and possibly some videos?? showing how they can be used in a more productive and efficient way.

A few examples would be,

How do you reduce damage to the ground with the tracks?

Where should the dozer blade be in relation to the direction of the bucket while digging etc. etc.?

I think there is a kit on arbtrader at the moment that is unused, think the harness is what you are looking at.

Cheers buddy, that explains it!

I have just received a new hi lift in the post and wondered a couple of things.

Firstly, what are the holes in the side of the Aluminium part for? or are they just part of the manufacturing process?

Secondly, the ring is a bit small for the round wooden end, should I just bash it on, or shave the wood down a bit to make an easy on/off fit?

Help always gratefully received.

The meter long billet is used here in France for a few reasons, my understanding is traditionally the timber would be sold by the cubic meter,both by the forest owner and the log seller, and so when neatly stacked it is easy to measure how many meters you have. Before chainsaws were the norm, firewood was cut with a handsaw, so cutting hundreds of cube into 30cm logs was too much for the log seller. Every peasant farmer had a saw horse and cut their meter length to size with a bow saw or such like. Paying for the privilege of pre cut logs is more a modern trend. It also aided extraction on narrow sleds as the timber could be handled and safely stacked without need for cranes etc. It also speeds up seasoning as its split straight from being felled.

Oh la vache!

Welcome to France. You are a bit far over for me to offer you anything work wise, but there are a few arb outfits in your neck of the woods, so you may find some work with one of them. A quick google should throw up some names.

Bon chance.

I had a swb transit panel van, the side loading door had 3 contacts that married up with 3 small round contacts the size of a penny. The penny ones get furred up and corroded and stop the circuit from locking that door. I had a load of tools swiped in this way, luckily I got ford to admit the contacts were furry and cleaned them under waranty, they also gave me a cheque towards the tool costs, about £700 from memory. This was about 10 years ago and on a 1 year old truck, which was fully serviced etc.

Worth checking these contacts are clean. Sorry for your loss, I know how it feels.

Very tidy!

Yes they are a big concern.

 

Think we make better clotted cream this side of the Tamar Langage Farm | Online Shop

How dare you

Devonians think a lot of things, not always right tho:thumbdown:

Its a chain with fewer teeth, 2 links between each tooth I think. Popular in the US

Seem to remember they had a site at Scorrier, big looking place, but going back a few years since I was there!

Hi Guys,

I'm toying with ordering a few loops of skip chain for my 390xp 28" from tree stuff in the us of a, even with postage its cheaper than buying in France Not seen it for sale in the uk, unless you can tell me otherwise?

What are the major pros and cons of skip? My understanding is it puts less strain on the motor/clutch so less bogging down.

Also, their site says 93dl for my set up, whereas my bar says 92dl, is this a skip chain thing or is it just a glitch on the site:confused1:

any help, as always, much appreciated.

Pm sent...telling you the reason

Bilstien were good on my 110 when I had it

Hi Jon,

I used to do a lot of air rifle work, both pest control and field target, although the ft guys were a funny lot!

I started with a Chinese b2 in .177 with a 4x20 scope, brown gloss painted stock, basic, but a good place to start as a 14 year old!

Moved through various break barrels, on to the air arms tx200hc, lovely smooth gun, with a great trigger.

Ended up moving on to various pcp rifles, like falcon and theoben rapid 7 in .20, which was the nuts. My last was an Air arms s400 in .177, sooooo accurate it was unreal.

Moved to France 10 years ago and the laws on airguns are so strict I gave it up. I would love to get back into it, if only for a bit of target shooting.

I cannot comment on the saw in use, but our local dealer has one on the shelf and a quick pick up and look over didn't impress.

It felt very cheap and flimsy, and not what I feel an xp badged saw would feel like. It reminded me of a fake husky like you see on fleabay, like a b&q home owner type of saw.

Just my feelings on it, could be a belter in use:confused1:

Both my 346xpg and a 262xp when times got hard about 10 years ago, should of sold a kidney instead

Just pop to your nearest dealer and pick one up, they are about 10€ otab, so not a big deal. Its frustrating when this kind of thing happens, but could be worse.

I have had a few husqvarna screw caps due to either the screwdriver slot wearing down, or the worst was watching my groundy tighten and shear off the oil cap on a new 346xp using the wrench!

I like the stihl ones for what its worth

I have made the decision to go back to a Landrover defender and need it as a 4x4 toolbox that can tow well, esp off road.

I have found a few great looking 110 utility spec with shutters and racking that would be ideal, but not having had an ex utility before, wondered if it was a good idea? They seem ideal:001_cool:

My alternative was to get a 110 PU not HCPU, and fit with a decent canopy with shutters etc. Any thoughts??

In an ideal world i would install my anchor from the ground and spoke up the ivy...I seem to get the Ivy climbs.i'm quite a physical climber so I would either plough up the stem cursing as I go tearing away at it or I would take it steady and delicately and tip toe up....either way it wouldn't be pretty but I 'do get up there!

That's because your the sheriff of ballstown!
