    <p>Hi mowerman</p>

    <p>Are you the saw mower man that sold me an MS361 rear handle/fuel tank? If so, I have been emailing you directly and through Ebay.</p>

    <p>The part is faulty and unusable, it presents a fire risk because the leak is so bad.</p>

    <p>Please PM me, email me or phone me 07834414271.</p>

    <p>I WILL LEAVE YOU VERY BAD FEEDBACK IF YOU DON'T!</p>

    <p>Expectantly……</p>

    <p>Alasdair.</p>

    No it's not but sadly, very few tree workers truly understand precisely what a pollard is. They just think it means removing the branches to a required height at any time in the trees life. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Oh now steady Nepia. You're introducing common sense into the mix here and our esteemed Government just won't allow that! Hahaha! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    Trumpton, Chiggley and Camberwick Green. Playing in fields. Playing in rivers. Making dens. Cycling or walking or running everywhere. Only staying in the house if it was really really raining. Making anything out of anything. Dad fixed everything that broke and nearly everything that wore out, therefore I learnt how to do these things. Every game with friends involved physical exertion of some degree, imagination and enthusiasm. THERE WASN'T AN APP FOR ANYTHING!! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I need someone in the Reigate area for the first week of October. We do primarily domestic tree work. The job could become part or full time for the right person. You need the right set of skills. Pm me here or call Al on 07834 414271 Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I've been using one for about three years and really like it. It's not essential but definitely makes the job easier which equals money well spent IMO.

    Had the Dual out today rigging down a Giant Redwood. Not a giant one but heavy enough lumps to ruin the 19mm Polydine rope, cos I was in a hurry to get it down and did it too big. Oops, I'm such an amateur New groundie loved it but probably thinks he's a rigging god now and will ask for a pay rise on Monday!

    A crew cab anything reduces the payload and it sounds as though you are wanting to maximise payload. A 3.5t anything is pretty rubbish, unless you have tip sites close to your working area. I know this because I have a 3.5t tipper but I've got many tip sites all over the place. It's still a crap vehicle for the job though.

    That's true. The taxman doesn't accept ignorance as an excuse and he'll be all over you with a fat backdated tax bill.

    Agreed. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I had a new groundie starting two weeks ago. Didn't arrive, still haven't heard. Hahaha! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    £2300 (+vat I assume) I was originally told a lot more. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I've always thought it looks great but the price in Britain is ridiculous.

    Which is your closest dealer? That could be your decision maker. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I have the same experience with 'em. So annoying and as soon as they become barely competent, they ask for a pay rise then leave when I laugh in their face. They don't realise that they've been a complete liability to my business for the last five months and actually cost me money. They think they're gods gift to my business cos they broke a sweat, twice! BTW, I'm only on here as a probationary member but I can grumble like Victor Meldrew. 😂 Edit: I'm not 44 yet. Sorry.

    Good idea but don't forget the massive log in the bottom to keep the weight for carrying. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    I'm sure you can and that's why I'm not phoning you. I've got no money. Actually, I don't do enough stump work to justify the loss on my current machine. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.

    You're not wrong. I think most just fall into the category of either: ignorance, don't care, have multiple tip sites within 10 minutes drive if every job, drivers licensing for staff. I'm in the last two groups but it really isn't ideal and the next chipper or truck change may prompt the move to something bigger, or a mid size bin lorry.

    He'll be calling you in two weeks to ask you to clear up the mess, which will cost him £850. He'll also ask if you can repair the glass house etc! Priceless. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk mobile app.
