God do i know where you are coming from on this one, just been asked to deliver some logs 47 miles from base told him £40 delivery on top of log price ok i will ring you back tomorrow to arrange delivery, he rang me back 7 days later to offer me £20 delivery fee and i want then on sunday around lunch time,( bearing in mind this drop is in manchester) i said i am not coming at that time it will take me a life time to get there with all the shopping traffic so it was left at that, he rang me today (sunday) at 3pm asking if i could deliver this evening i asked him what he had done yesterday and today, football and out for a few beers sat,got up at half 12 today and done nowt, i said i was out all day yesterday till 7pm last night set off on first drop this morning at 8,30 and done another 3 loads since i am now on my way home and thats how its staying, i tend to agree and wounder if some people have got more than one brain cell, sometimes i get the feeling that they think they are your only customer and i have been waiting for that phone to ring for the last 12 monthes and when they say i will pay cash, what else is there ?

still after 35+ years doing the job i still class every day as a SCHOOL day, as no 2 situations in the tree job are the same,,

my take on this is, you can sit and read as many books as you want, ok you will get the general idea, which will help, but you will never learn it like you would being out there on site doing it, what it says in a book and what actually happens on site can be 2 totally different things, for example i had something happen on friday and the law of physics was saying that could not possibly happen but it DID thank fully i was stood in the right place if i had,nt of been stood where i was who knows, and when your messing with trees that are 2,3,4 tonne they dont stop when they get to you,

cheap that J, one guy up here wants £350 for the day if its 1 or 2 people and if its 3 or 4 it goes up £60 a person for the 3rd & 4th, he dont do much asscesing and i cant think why ? he is very close to me but he would be my last call for 2 reasons 1) expense 2) every thing has to be text book perfect and if its not one example of this was a lad did 32 gob was right hinge was good but back cut and gob where about 15 mm out of paralel but back cut still above gob on bothe sides, so he made him do another one,

i dont know how much you have looked in to this ? but i dont think you can do CS32 & 34 in same day ? have a word with a trainer and take his addvise and may be do 32 and gain some expierance with bigger wood for a while, and if your doing winblown dont do the singular do the multiple CS 34/35 combined together, windblown is a different ball game all together and is not for the faint hearted and please be carefull, we do a fair amount of windblown and its a thinking game working out where to start for the best approach and whats going to go where ,,,

Yes 2 or 3 fills per tree nearly a job for some one else that fueling up, did 9 trees yesterday and 2 of em where monsters but had the wind behind to help and hardly had to swing that hammer only on one,lad on machine said we would be knocking on the door towards 30 tonne ,

are you planning to do this on the same day ?

been felling edgers last week for harvester and some of the brash on the outside of tree was all most a tree its self could of run a cs31 course just on the brash been using a 461 on 25" bar and still having to do heart cut a sweep round on one or two of them and if heart cut had,nt been done i dont think they would of gone over, its nice to see some one using the same practice as my self with cutting the brash back and leaving yourself a clear working area along the tree, nice vid but again crap music saw reving its nuts of would be better .sorry.

well you would of done the same as what i did that day and that was , get the F - - K out of there, saw can be either fixed or replaced in a day or so, i cant,,,

that spec on the link is a load of bollox 40 45 & 50cm max bar for 461 catalogue states 45 50 & 63 cm bars and bar that stihl recomend is 63cm 25", what i can say is the 461 is fine on a 25" bar, been on it all week this week felling edgers for harvester and its ok on 25", i did run it on a 20" till i trashed it and that did cut, shoud,nt need a saw any bigger than a 461, from what i have seen and heard of the 462 its a light saw with good fast power delivery, just waiting for some one i know to get one then i can have a play with it,,

finishing 4pm on 24th pub for 5pm till 10pm, dinner with family on 25th and then at my sisters in the eve from about 6pm till proberbly 3 or 4am party on Wayne,, late start boxing day and more than likely feeling shit due to timothy tailor and moorhouses poisioning back to work 27th 28th picking up on a shoot 29th then work 30th 31st not that bothered about going out new years eve but will proberbly end up going any way, and end up shed,ed and walking home in the wee hours, 1st jan i wont be that fast if i go out and will be sat there all day feeling sorry for my self and thinking, how did i get home last night, back on 2nd and back to normal and the days will be going the right way by getting longer, if its raining over the holidays i may have a extra day or 2 and watch mary poppins or gonr with the wind or some other shite,,,,

nuttella spread or penut butter diluted with veg oil to the consistancy of paint, put on a piece of ply or plastic, this works a treat as they have to stay still to lap it up then just pop em off as they appear, did this not long ago as some one said they had about 10 rats in a building 37 first night 31 second night 57 third night 23 forth night then he decided to get some bait and put that down, bait went as fast as he put it down for first wk, then what ever you moved there was a dead rat or 2 behind or underneath,

just what you need pay your money and get F - - K all, but thats what happens when you buy on line, there is so much scamming going on on line and on ebay and facebook as well, on line its easy just set up a website and email address take payments for goods, dont send goods because there aint any to send, close it all down and set up another website etc very easy way to make money,i have had several emails of late from what is supposed to be BT asking me to update my account and check bank details and if not correct, correct them, yeh ok, emails coming from non bt address and the spelling is much worse than mine proberbly from some one in Timbuck too who wants to raise funds to buy a new Donkey,,,

first thing you need to do is calculate the volume of the cylinder in cc, then work out from PTO speed and gearbox ratio and this should calculate the cc of the pump required then that should tell you how long the cycle of the splitter will be, you may have to get a bigger cc pump to gain speed as you don,t want to be standing there waiting for ram to come down for long, but on this you may have to sacrifice a loss in power to gain speed, when i built my splitter it took a bit of working out with engine rpm and cc of pump per revolution,

Sorry about your loss . they just want there hands chopping off, will be some low down scum selling your items some where for very little to fund there drug habbit ? its about time some one came up(if its not been done allready) with a micro tracker system for times like this and i would of thought insurance co,s would be funding something like that as it must cost them 1,000,s each year,

would,nt it be easier if you turned the lights on,,??

i know that but one lad who is very pushy and would not take no for a answer just used to take it then tell me an hour afterwards so fitted new hitch lock and swaped wireing over and got a phone call one day i cant get your trailer on my car, there is something wrong with the hitch, yes its locked then a bit of a argument started so i just told him to fuck off get your own trailer and then i can use mine when i need to use with out chasing half way round the county for it ,

my trailers and trucks wired as they are for the simple reason i got pissed off with people borrowing trailers and not returning them and when i wanted it i had to go and get it, so wired it a bit different so its all to cock on other cars/vans/trucks if i did need to tow with something else it would take me 60 seconds to split plug and swap 2 wires over,

Dont know if these would live with the high standards of hinges on this thread,? ? Last one is nothing to do with me i just went and cut tree up when they had trashed all there saws the tree was across a farm road,

yes you could mine is on brake lights i think but both my trucks and trailers are wired as i want them, lights wont work on any other car/van/truck hence it stops people asking can i borrow your trailer,,,

you put both brake lights in to one to free up a spare terminal in plug and then wire that in to reverse lamps, got totally pissed off with hazzard lighs fog lights and brake light trick no where near sufficent for what i needed so fitted a 9 LED light wired in to reverse lights works a treat and you can see what your doing very well, 2 holes to drill and a bit of wiring about an hour to fit,

big area west yorks so could you name a town village to give me a better idea of location,

Who can kill the other first i would say ?? i might be wrong tho,

letting the client sell it is proberbly the best rout for you, but its a timber you dont see for sale very often and i would think would be a easy sell, ?,
