  1. husky 61. was 400pounds in 1987. expensive compared to wages at the time, todays saws cheap by comparison
  2. have you tried greenmech. i think some of their pedestrian grinders were laski
  3. s o c

    Honey Bros

    they've got stuff to me in ireland overnight a few times
  4. yes.i think my gut feeling is that it probably is a scam.
  5. thanks alec. i have a second account with no od facility on it and rarely any money in it, was going to give that number. i know theres a buoyant market for tractors in that part of the world but i would not have thought woodchippers. a friend of mine who deals in tractors thinks it may be genuine, im wary of building my hopes up though
  6. advertised pto chipper on earborist. only enquiry was ( or claims to be) from a company in dubai. after a few emails he has requested an invoice and account number for money transfer.he also wants to buy my tractor (without seeing photos) seems a bit too simple to me. anyone else have similar? is it risky even opening these emails. thanks
  7. that sounds good. i paid around e850 2 years ago, i think the cheaper ones i priced didnt have the correct crank for my grinder
  8. i usually shorten in the top few rows of branches (often with a hand pruner) it gives a nice edge and the top outer branches dont curl up after just a few months. i can do this really quickly and in comfort from the mewp
  9. mewp for upper sides and as much of top as can be done comfortably, especially where hedge has been previously topped. climb centre if awkward to get at with mewp. gets nicer finish on hedge imo. i find using polesaw from harness quite severe on body. it takes practice to get the best out of a mewp (not wishing to get into mewp v climber btw)
  10. prize arrived on friday (mini-mill from rob d) thank you rob for prize and steve for organising raffle. looking forward to first attempt at milling,have a few lumps of monterey to experemint on

    stihl 084av

    yes,thats what i plan to get, for cutting up those hard knotty lumps. should extend the life of my 80cc saws. i was wondering, how frequently do you need to use the oiler button and do i need to use it at all with the shorter bar?

    stihl 084av
