    Ha ha that's the one nick! He replaced the diff on the m6! No limiter indeed! One day he woke up in a lay-by in the lakes to a knock on the window surrounded by classic cars and bikes, when asked if he was there for the rally he said bu@@er off I've got to get this timber to Banbury!

    There is a height restriction to get under planning- I think it's around 3m??? One to check. If using onduline then ply shutter the roof first otherwise it sags in no time:thumbdown: There is a chap in bloxworth in dorset who sells poles they used to be about £35 + Make sure you post some pics- boys and sheds:lol:

    Welcome to the digger club!

    Thought you might enjoy it Matty! I tend to use mine at the end of the day, it's good on the big saws, keeps them cutting in a straight line and reduces load on the saw, my old 66 needs all the help she can get!

    Exactly, the original post must be interested in more work and who wouldn't be? "Re: Emergency Callout Charge (again) Why should that matter?you gharge accordingly and a fair price for the job to be done. end of.Being cheap is't a good way to go. The word get's around quickly and the public are more sensitive about anything that's cheap. £400 minium for a cal lout and 2 men.who would gharge less?" £400 may be a fair price, I'm not saying you have to be mr cheap, but it's all the bells and whistles that you can bring to the job that may help bring in work in the future (eg turning out in the rain on a Friday night at short notice)

    It depends if you want more work from the estate? A good price, good service may get you noticed and a foot in the door?

    I have been sharpening saws 20 years, so think I'm ok at it:001_tt2: But this thing will get them sharper than they come from the factory! Get plenty of spare stones for all your saws, I just use mine at the end of the day to tidy the cutters up and file by hand on site. If your near dorset you are welcome to see mine Cheers

    Hi mr tree man, if you use a Forster bit you will get a dimple, so if you want a flat bottom( and who wouldn't) I use a rowter (spelling!) and a hole template with an appropriate collet, you can also then use it with a ogee cutter for putting a nice rounded edge on the board. Alternatively you could drill hole with Forster or flat bit and finish the bottom of the hole with the router. I do a lot of wood turning and am not very good at making things look like something else eg apples or pears Make sure she has a good extractor and dust mask, a good bench grinder and sharpening jig for keeping her chisels as sharp as possible- therefore less sanding. Axminster are good for quality tools that are hard to find else where Cheers (from Wimborne) rich

    So when you felled it, you were probably right to, looking at the pics of the rings. it wouldn't get looked at for another 12 months, and only a walk past so the brackets may not be picked up next time, also it may not be you doing the survey. That's where continuity of staff is a problem. Cheers
  19. RDB logs
    But the removal of the crab apple was based on the extent of decay, versus useage zone, not just the fact it has a bracket? Reduction or regular re survey? Is this the alternative? Also I'm sure staff levels must play a part in the over all decision? Thanks for digging it out again

    Compared to some of the dodgy trees I've climbed, a tested crane should be a dam site safer- would like to do it one day!
  21. RDB logs
    Interesting it's half way up a stem, I look forward to surveying limes as they are quite reliable, like planes. I will keep an eye out in future Thank you for sharing

    Fat steak slice open and fill with Stilton and mushrooms!
  23. RDB logs
    Aah I see, I will try welding up a plate to fit over the knife on mine and vary the angles to see if it helps Cheers
  24. RDB logs
    That looks brilliant! I have just bought one very similar design and have been testing it today to run off the digger, I don't know if you noticed the log split with a bang! Mine also does this and was wondering if it's not too late to ask if an angled wedge would make it slice through the log better? A lot of factory made splitters present the wedge at an angle to the face of the log, also I am assuming the angle needs to slope towards the rsj? So the log is held in place? Does this make sense and I hope I'm not too late to ask? I will start a thread tomorow because I need pics of mine, but want to know before I get the grinder out Cheers:thumbup:

    I've got a palms, great trailer, can be fully adjusted bunks, axel, length etc, good crane, get a hydraulic pipe maker or several spares as it eats pipes for breakfast near the grab, one slip and it snaps off fittings that go in the rotator. I would imagine it's the case for all grabs though. Only problem with controls is it has electrics on to switch grab and extend, not sure how long they will last long term, so if possible avoid all electrics, as you know forestry and electricity don't mix! Make sure you get extending crane and steering drawbar, without them I would have got myself in a right pickle! Bought it from Halse of honiton Cheers
