    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.

    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,,

    Rats

    spuddog0507 replied to Baldbloke's topic in The Lounge

    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,
  11. spuddog0507
    would,nt it be easier if you turned the lights on,,??
  12. spuddog0507
    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 ,
  13. spuddog0507
    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,
  14. spuddog0507
    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,
  15. spuddog0507
    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,,,
  16. spuddog0507
    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,
  18. spuddog0507
    Who can kill the other first i would say ?? i might be wrong tho,
  19. spuddog0507
    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, ?,
  20. spuddog0507
    Oh yes its worth money and i would say good money but your biggest problem is moving it, you would have to quarter saw it down length to get it in to managable lumps, i would get some proper dimensions and photos and addvertise it in as many places as you can and i am sure you will have a bidding battle for it,
  21. spuddog0507
    i was going to ask how many sweaty socks can you get in that trailer with cage sides on ???????
  22. spuddog0507
    and what you loading the trailer with ?, with it
  23. spuddog0507
    he is a good lad to get on with, he trys hard , he is reliable, but a bit slow on the up take not with one or two things but all, he is very willing to do any thing you give him to do no matter where it is or what it is, but £60 a day is about all he is worth, but its like he says if i only work 2 days a wk i am twice as better off as being on job seekers,
  24. spuddog0507
    i fully understand the waiting for groundie and as i aint climbed for a living but done a lot of roofing in years gone by i know where your comming from as you only need to be 15-20ft up and all protection from buildings has gone, and groundies when rigging down you should not really waiting for them ? 2 arb crews i work with now and then could not be any more different to what they are one crew climber up tree lad on lowering gear is the co owner and things move fairly quickly climber is not waiting much and the other crew well everything seems to take a life time like you cant start chipper till we have a big heap and we have been working round it for an hour and the main groundie has to be told everything but thats what you get for £60 a day,
  25. spuddog0507
    SORRY lads proberbly get slated for this, but if your cold in the arb & forestry buisness your not doing enough ? to much standing about and you will go cold dont seem to suffer my self much, but keep myself going only problem i have is when in shed splitting logs my feet get cold but thats with not moving about much,photos below is of one lad who works with me not a lot of clothing on and as you can see not the warmest of days but i cant remember any one moaning about being cold, more than likely felt colder on way home in truck than out there working,
