worth the money great for hitting wedges with the flat end and all the weight is in the head so splits timber great aswell you will have to get used to the shorter length compared to others

Spot on id say, i spoke to a very experienced trainer last week saying its becoming more common with faults/ accidents/ deaths from people felling stems over 380 mm with not the relevent qualifications and hse have come down hard on them. just because you know how to doesnt mean your qualified to do so, plus your insurance is most likely void !!
-
Id say 3-4 month on average a bar lasts for me as i cut full time pretty much every day its only the nose rivet which seems to loosen over time but apart from that really strong, and need dressing less than overs. i only use the solids but have a 24" lightweight so we see how that goes
-
I swear thats my old 361 or its got the same scuffs as mine did, u get it off the bay?
-
mechanix gloves for when wet bout 6 quid on the bay, ive tried nitrile and all sorts but dont seem to last
-

-
is there access to rides to get lorries in? how long is the extraction? if there is none at all i guess whoever bids will be putting in a low one, is the chestnut coppiceable?
-
ok so what happens when you have a stem over 380mm that has the crown removed then and you only have your 31 does this mean you cant fell it as you dont have 32??
-
ive done 2 packs.of save edge now and think im gona go back to vallorbes as seem to last longer
-
windblow has totally changed as is one course now as spoke to a trainer and includes single and multiple blow
-
have found save edge dont last that long if used all the time and in this weather if get damp, clog like anything! prefer to use them to take out damage and oregon/vallorbe to finish works best for me

ok,navaras avoid the 02 to 54 batch as engine problems good on motorway thats about it really and ok to tow, izuzu are nice to drive 3 litre id go for as had good grunt for towing. mitsubishi l200 are ok but i know parts are expensive and some engines are prone to blowing. brand new ford rangers are supposed to be a real good all round package and excellent towers later ones seem to have gearbox problems. land rovers are good but usually some gremlins either electrical or mechanical plus cabs are tiny. hilux are good for occasional towing, good cab space and if you service them go on forever and ive never got mine stuck yet but if you off road a lot a good set of muds help no end. not had much experience with mazdas. Id say go for mk4-5 hilux thats my opinion as they have never let me down
-
What are you going to be using it for?? ive pretty much used all types of truck but can give you a better answer if i know what for. the truck you posted has auto lockers and comes with a ltd slip rear diff but no difflocks like land rovers
-
I know for a fact the new oregons are lighter than the sugi lights by around 300 grams its just where to get them??
-
Has anyone used/owned the reduced weight bar i know they only come in sizes of 28" plus. does anyone knows a supplier in the uk? Cheers
-
