Good climber= safe: does a good assessment of job and not afraid to say something is too dangerous or outside comfort zone. always tied in twice. koows his cuts dosent do daft one handing. minds his gear. consistant: meets target on most jobs. team player: not arrogant, is considerate of ground crew, helps with cleanup . Goes home safe every evening . not much more to it really.

Oh and, come on Ireland!

I have an old 3ton farmi and agree that rope system can be a pain. good winch otherwise. got a bigger Uniforest last year with remote control. Makes the job so much easier and faster
-
Totally agree. Teeth breaking off for no reason (apart from poor quality metal) Only a matter of time before one of them causes a serious incident. And it takes ages to sharpen one for the first time.

Great minds think alike ?

Looks like he’s sharpening the flat of the blade rather than the bevel. would have to take off blades to do bevel (on most small/medium disc chippers anyway.) Would be handy for touching up in between proper sharpenings. very similar to a dremmel motor?

Nice setup. Good luck with it. I’m it doesn’t need a weight block up front

Dreumex expert works for me??

Great find. Strange watching saws without chain-brakes

Once you own a mini-digger you will never want to be without one. we got one ten years ago and it’s still worth 70% of what I paid for it.

Excessive wear in clutch shoes/drum ?

Husky 61 .1987 also. £400 Irish. Took 2 weeks to cut the tons to ay for it back then
-
Tw 230 will out-chip 190 and be lighter on ground and for towing. Worth the extra money?

Jensen 328 suit?

Small domestic jobs,sometimes on completion mostly 14 days . Commercial work usually takes 6 weeks over here, supposed to be 14 or 30 days from invoicing but often slow to get work signed off . Often takes 3 months. cashflow can be a pain at times, just the way things are done over here. sounds like you get paid much quicker in Uk

Refreshingly honest video

Hi. I was in very similar situation a few years ago. premium went up by from €7k to€12k at renewal and was loaded for 5 years. i was also able to prove ‘operator error ‘ and insurance co were happy to fight claim in court. After 2 years of waffle going back and over insurance co settled with the claimant. My premiums came down slightly from 12k each year of the five and came down substantially afterwards . other insurers weren’t interested while claim was ongoing

Fell if you have the space. Pulling rope at two thirds height. Ratchet strap around butt if worried about splitting. Bore center , get cuts right leaving good hinge . Use2 wedges , get out of there in good time and allow rope to pull over.

€200 for a recore of Tw 190 rad last year
