That is bizarre, do you think the attitude to L.A and those working in behalf of is same in NZ as UK i.e we the tax payer pay your wages you don't deserve anymore. When I've been in NZ. Have our Bach(2nd home for holidays, often a rickety old shed) for a week, take this, take that.

One for spud and the 357xp owners. Rather than start I new thread I thought it best to slip in here. 357 underneath where the front loop handle screws in with 2 allen socket bolts, my saw has started to flex because 1 bolt is into alloy casting and the other is in plastic. If I turn saw upside down and push on both handles with bar tip against something I get 5mm of flex difference. I take it I need to replace the fuel tank housing complete unit or mess splitting it and replacing the plastic half, any pointers? I would post pics but my 2005 black macbook on snow leopard is not recognising usb ports.

All on firm ground though my experience is with a multione. It bellys out if driven on the woodchip pile. A tractor and loader doesn't. In winter It gets a treelifter mounted on the front and I often have to use its loader arm to push or drag it out the wet mud because my workmate gets:cursing: with it. Bearing in mind woodmouses dream is in woodland, and in all probability will be used in the slack time of winter. Just my view though avant may be more nimble.

Let em get on with it. It will only last so long. Alot of European timber is worthles due to shot and shrapnel from the conflicts of the last century. The USA and Canada have long term biomass contracts with uk power stations. We as an island dont have enough forest to be independent. The days of the uk paying the higher value for products have waned away. The Eastern Europeans have returned home in large numbers. Generally the smaller producer will keep his local clients I reckon.

Hard to say but but I don't think they are limes. Because the trunks would be fatter for the crown size I think. Is the planing on a private road otherwise if its narrow the dustcart or other larger vehicle will "prune" the trees.

Dry weather performers these kind of handlers in my experience.

If you have the time and space take em. Attitude to pallets seems to of gone downhill. You could probably sell on for reuse and hack up the rest to burn. Somewhere on here are threads, use search in toolbar and type pallets.

Agree its not red sentinel. As for it being an apple pips should confirm ID -
P.S hope the rate my hinge police don't turn up on this thread or you will be getting ribbed, to them a hinge is more serious than using a saw left handed.

I would bite spuds hand off for a super saw with excellent backup, He doesn't just replace the faulty bit, he nit picks from a mechanical perspective, not like the back up you may get from an ebayer, though most ebay experience I've had have been ok.

When using alaskan mill I always use left handed, I think thats standard procedure. The twists in your arms on big cuts right handed in your situ leads to RSI in my experience. As a H&S issue thats a priority I'd say. Plus the saw is unlikely to kick out on big lumps like that.

Do they have built it caliperless climbing spikes?

I agree with Rob its malus. Asked a mate he doesn't know either. I googled and got Malus sieboldii maybe as thats a new one on me. -
Well done that man. I've never paid £200 for years, but Im not 23 unfortunately.

Round here quite a few hedges have narrowed the roads up and the council hasn't bothered. Case of let sleeping dogs lie, if they wake up ignore them and they will go back to sleep. I know someone who buckled an alloy wheel in a new pot hole a couple of winters ago. The council had a dedicated team defending such claims. Go to the media Jon make a stink others will jump on bandwagon. Do a mournful pose getting in to the smart car banging your head on the way in and say this is what you are now reduced to.

How is it now Dave? I imagine its still on going?

You must of come across some muppets, ten years ago I did jobs of that scale, only rope was used to pull the branches away from the neighbours properties and greenhouse and sheds below. I respect the regs more now, leave it to those with tickets. -
The smart car would've just humped em. And squiggled on its way.

I worked with a twit knapsacking trees 10 years ago he asked a question whilst spraying then gestured at me with the lance and sprayed my only non protected part, my face! Everyone says" Its only soap." I never believe that because every pesticide/herbicide has come and gone. Why?

Missed opportunity for layman Dean BBBBBBrrrrrrrrHHHH, creak CCCCrrrrrrraaaaasssshh. "whoops sorry you did not give me notice of intention to be occupying my work zone, I needed 21 days prior written notice if you where going to park there so I could get the vacant slot in my real schedule rebooked!" Or something like that.

I reckon you will need a gap like Johnys above the heap more than the airflow principle design you have done as the heap will sweat to the sheet then drip on the top logs making them hot from sun and damp. You could make ridges in your heap sides every 6-10ft and pull sheet tight creating air valleys. Should help deter any vermin as well.

Have a look in classic tractor magazine or maybe their website. Always ads. Footman James I remember off my head is one of them. Let us know your result.
