Just read other thread, should have gnawed through the rope!

Did a similar thing with a VT on the hitch climber, put an extension between me and hitch to gain some advantage, couldn't lanyard to anything and pondered gnawing through my rope!

Fell it, sned it, extract to road side, transport home/yard, peel it, point it, dip it, dry it, store it,advertise it, wait for phone to ring, starve to death, have coffin made from it.

FORGET IT!

You'll go blind, dirty boy!

426M from A84 Near Villedieu les poeles. Would love the work to justify any chipper! sounds like your have your setup running sweet!

Glad you like it, you will never regret getting the 460 tree killer o'matic! a standard muffler has always been fine for me, you could always port it after, you will notice the difference then, feel the benefit an my old grandad would say about wearing a coat indoors!

Impressed! If you find yourself in southern manche, pop in for a cuppa, and if working this way and in need of a tip site for your chip, i would be happy to accommodate! much mulch needed in the garden!

It was noted by the eminent Charles Darwin that Humans have evolved from Apes. It was noted that the Human thumb is appose-able and thus is able to grip in a manner, and indeed manipulate objects in a way that has caused the human race to evolve rapidly into the "masters" of the Earth.

Why then do all the expensive, top quality kid palmed gloves have so little protection on the tip of the thumb. How many pairs of perfectly decent chainsaw gloves have I binned because of this.

What dumb ape of a person can manufacture such rubbish! I may be Cornish and as such not at the top of the evolutionary ladder, somewhere above Scousers and below Cockney's, but other than abnormally large wedding veg and a low forehead we Cornish deserve gloves that work!

Thank you for your time Gents, feel a little better!

It seems they are telling me something, it is raining like i have never seen, the valley bellow us is steadily flooding. The worms are all going up hill!

Its like they knew.............

Walking the dog these last few days I have noticed the little tarmac road i live along is covered in worms, each morning there are new ones and hundreds of squished ones, anyone know why?

Perhaps they are just odd French worms!

Like today, 5 hours work coni topping cos the gardener was too scared

= 450euros.

Why get out of bed for less...?

Ty

Wouldn't mind a slice of that action! Hows the chipper working out?

The general public in a 200 yard radius wont be safe either, I will lanyard in like a Japanese sniper!

What were you searching for when you found this? works for me tho, save it for later:lol:

I got the 4 ball one, 4 rounds rapid fire!!!!!!!!!!!! I will try different projectiles once in the tree, pine cones may be good?

Welcome to the forum, and well done for thinking of asking for advice. There will be many that will tell you that the industry is full and another shark in the tank is not wanted/ needed. If you start by obtaining your saw tickets to begin with, you will be of much more use to your customers, and any climbers you assist. I think that your grounds maint' work would possibly benefit from this, and by the time you look to take your climbing tickets you should have a good level of saw experience to assist you. Make contact with as many local arb businesses as you can, and some may offer you some work clearing up/ groundie work. Its a lot of unknowns but unless you can afford to ticket up straight off the bat, i feel this is how i would approach the subject.

I get a lot of calls for over grown garden clearance, from those that have let their garden and land go, while their property is for sale, often 2-5 years of willow and scrub, and ask if i would do it in return for the firewood from it. The first one i thought was a chance, but have had several others, and the odd thing is they seem to get someone desperate enough off angloinfo to do it on those terms. desperate times for many methinks, and i dont see an end in sight for them.

just ordered a Hyperdog, cant wait!

Same here Ty, lots of brits, no money, trying to sell up and move back to Blighty.

On this [unique] occasion, it was sort of her idea....so no need to!

 

Of course, she may not yet be aware of how expensive these things are.....

Lie, it helps my marriage a treat!

I bought the "Hyperdog" tennis ball slinshot. I use it with a modified throwbag which i stitched into a ball rather than a bullet shape which makes it easier to hold in the pouch. Works really well. Iv hit a 60ft branch first time with minimal effort. But as the others say it doesnt hurt to get out and practice. Hyper Pet - HyperDog Ball Launchers

Thats amazing! until i followed the link i thought it would be one of those plastic cup on a stick types, which would have been an idea, but this is awsome, could launch all sorts with that, clandestine like, payback on all those that wronged me..... anyway, how much and where do i get one?

I was the same mate.

 

Buy a cube and invest in some decent throwline, then go out and practise when you're not working and not under pressure. The difference is immense.

 

60'+ shots by hand will become achievable.

Any tips? I seem to friction burn my fingers, throw over the tree completely, or get tangled in small branches, esp oak.

Forestry journal had some ads for tenders from fc, only arrived today and the missus wont let me have it till i finish painting the kitchen! worth the subscription if you don't get it.

I have thought the same, was thinking of using a fishing weight as a projectile. will let you know.

Sorry, couldn't help myself! All joking aside, it is one of the finest saws ever made, and i have run with 25" bar, felling hundreds of cube in + size beech for years! fallen from the skidder cab many times, robust and well powered, what more do you need? well maybe heated handles?

the "C" stands for made in China. they are made under licence there, and normally only intended for comunist block sale, alot coming on the market at the moment.

Only joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
