Old Mill Tree Care

Well I can tell you that it is the Husqvarna 125b. I bought one several months ago, it gets used about 10 minutes a day and has been run on Aspen fuel. Then it stopped working. Seized engine. The dealer said it would be a warranty but our trusted Husqvarna said no, it must be fuel or operator error. Well that is just nonsense but they won't budge. Not only am I massively disappointed, I am furious! This is exactly the kind of service that has made our country crap and the global laughing stock. Furthermore, one of my trucks was broken into recently and chainsaws were stolen. They are insured and the claim is going through and I will have the opportunity to replace with the same, or I could choose a different brand. So Husqvarna UK, should I now switch to a different brand for ever more. I have been loyal to your brand for a long long time and understand how things work, but this blower situation is beyond the pale. I'm not expecting anyone to reply to this, except Husqvarna. One mightily disappointed customer!

I only climb SRT so it’s a personal thing then I guess.

I’m a UK 9 in Airstreams and would ideally choose an 8.5 in the Andrews.

I’ve had the Kiwi Spikecender since they came out and get on with it fine. Of course it can pop out easily but a couple of climbs refines ones technique and hey presto, no problem.

Agreed, it’s an awful lot cheaper to run! [emoji23]

Well done Rich. I was about to chime in saying the same. [emoji1360]

The longest I ever spent hand throwing is one appalling throw, so 5 seconds. Then I got my phone out and ordered a Big Shot.

I’ve found the Andrews to be good in spikes. Stiffer sole than Airstreams, that’s for sure.

Yes the HAAS loop works perfectly, it just wore through.

I’ve been wearing them for 1.5 years. Very well made boots and the midsole has now deteriorated which is annoying as the rest of the boot is in perfect condition. Apart from the HAAS loop which started fraying about three months ago and snapped last week. I think the reason the midsole has crumbled is because i don’t take care standing in tight forks and generally have never taken care of the boots anyway. I’d say they are an excellent choice if you like stiff boots.

No idea what it does Mark but it will look brilliant on the job site, propped up next to your chipping mirror. In fact, I’m sure it will earn you enough money to buy a felling mirror! No more crushed fences or cars. I’ll be ordering two of them. The first one will impress the staff and the second is to impress the clients. Brilliant!

Agreed. I don’t understand why guys think it’s cool to abuse the gear that earns them a living, even if the boss is paying. In fact, especially if the boss is paying!

I have no experience with cheaper ones but I have bought cheap things in the past and it’s always a mistake. Sena! [emoji1360][emoji1360]

Good point, oops. South end of Meath Green Lane, Horley Surrey. About 80metres north of the junction with Landon Park. You can’t miss it. It is a lorry load. The Herras fence can be moved in moments if necessary.

As described. Next to a road. Between 18” and 30” diameter. Also two big trunks about 1.6m diameter and 4m long. It’s the end of the job so I just need someone to shift it. Al on 07834414271 Enjoy.

Get a Sena. I’d advise the ones that are integrated into the ear muffs. A bit more expensive but worth it as it eliminates all hassles.

Blazzin Saddles. Every Clint Eastwood movie. Any movie that contains Rhona Mitra and/or Natasha Henstridge.

It’s the Echo bar and chain that comes as standard. I think the chain is sharpened with a rusty spanner and the bar is made of compressed eucalyptus leaves.

I’ve just bought another 2511. The bar is different to the bar that came with my first 2511. This bar & chain will be going in the bin at lunch time too. Lol!

Miscommunication here. I was referring to a slacker that PM’d me and the inference was that I should pick him up and take him for breakfast, at a time that suits him. Hilarious. Apologies that my above post appears aimed at you. You were the only one that actually replied to my reply to say that a different opportunity had arisen so I hope it all works well for you.

Agreed. He replied to my advert by posting his own phone number! Like I’d be lucky to have the opportunity to chase him, just just because he got out of bed.

Actually Bob I was hoping for someone with the mindset of self-employed on the wage of a volunteer! Bwahaha! Only joking of course. The person with the correct attitude will earn a decent wage. Simple.

I have no problem at all with paying people what they’re worth. If they’re useless they don’t get paid. If they’re brilliant they get paid what they’re worth. I expect to earn a decent living and if someone is willing to work well and not damage my kit and reputation then they should earn a decent living too. Simple really.

Is there a serious lack of people who need a job? I’ve been advertising for ages and had only two applicants. One was too far away and the other was too lazy. I’m wondering if this is a general trend at the moment. I’m looking for a groundie and a climber, could be groundie/climber. Could also be full time or free-lance.

? Telling lies and Roofies? [emoji12]
