    What he said. NPTC Certs mean that you'll be a qualified saw user and tree climber with that saw. They do NOT mean you're a qualified tree surgeon. I answer to one of your other questions Danshayler, age is mostly irrelevant. By being older you'll hopefully be inclined to work smarter not harder.

    Dean your mail box is full. I can't pm you.

    Yes but first I'll ask loads of questions on here and procrastinate for 5 weeks. Then I'll start another two threads about the loop. Then I'll spend 6 hours on the internet. Then start another thread. Then I'll buy two.

    Had the Stein trolley since it came out and it's the best money I ever spent. Apart from that first drink when I met my wife……..!
  5. Old Mill Tree Care
    Exactly!

    Leylandii!

    Ok but this doesn't mean it's a bad machine. Any machine can develop a problem for a variety of reasons.

    I actually hired his tracked A540 again last week. It's a good machine and I can't find fault with it. It's the same as my A540 but with design improvements.
  9. Old Mill Tree Care
    Funny boy!
  10. Old Mill Tree Care
    Good. I'll be getting one.
  11. Old Mill Tree Care
    So what machine did you choose then Ian? Thanks Al. Edit: I'm guessing a Greenmech then. What about the spare parts? Don't they have to be bought through Orangeplant at a hefty price?

    Strong words Dean Please check your Private Messages.
  13. Old Mill Tree Care
    Sorry Dean but you don't have a dealer network near Horley high street!

    Time to change my A540. The decision will be made on which machine appears to have the best warranty and and customer support. I think. The ST8 has 3yr warranty but I'm concerned about service after that. Jensen dealers are a bit closer to me. I feel the Forst is a better design. But I know Jensens. !!!!!!!!!

    Still on the look out………...

    In what way did it have nothing on your tr6? Thanks.

    Best thing to do when you see someone checking your place out is to walk out and photograph the front of his car and hopefully him. That will make him think twice.

    Is anybody else wondering if Joy Yeoman was formerly Mountain Man aka Le Sanglier??? Or am I way off the mark here?
  19. Old Mill Tree Care
    WTF are you doing visiting a friend with a harness & Silky??!! :0 :0
  20. Old Mill Tree Care
    Hahahaha! I didn't know there was an ignore button. Anyway, if I'm not allowed to make stupid posts, I'd never post anything!

    Like it!

    Thanks Gray I'm surprised there isn't a roller speed adjuster! A 6" Quadchip would drive me mad, too many logs left over. I'm only interested in 7.5" or bigger.
  23. Old Mill Tree Care
    Thanks Gray I guess the spout angle can be easily altered. Was the roller speed set fast and if so, do you think the poor discharge was anything to do with them taking the wet brush faster than it could discharge effectively? I don't like external grease nipples. I prefer to open up the machine and have a look at things. Over the years I've caught many problems early by opening the machine to grease.

    I should have been clearer. My question is can oil type alter chain tension on the bar? I've been using Rape seed oil for nearly two years but the last 5 months have been continual tension problems on my 560xp - chain goes a bit slack. Sugi bar. MS361 - chain goes tight or loose. Oregon bar. 200t - no change. Sugi bar t540xp - chain goes tight. Oregon bar. 395xp - no change. Husq bar. Driving me nuts.

    Has anyone used one or own one? I recently hired a 1928 Safetrak. I was mightily impressed with the design and build quality. I've spoken to Greenmech and have a quote but would like to hear from users about any problems or dislikes on the 190. Thanks.
