yep all the time,,,NO,,, had a shit time last week on some small birch but aint felled any small trees for a while either all wind blown or big standing spruce, If your man put the back cut below the gob cut on his accesment that would be an instant NPTC fail so how did he get a ticket, ???.

A Donkey and cart must be looming ? must addmitt its crossed my mind once or twice,,,

did a heavy reduction today ? logs cut 6 x 2.5 O/S, 4 x 3.7mtr sawlog and 5 x 3mtr chip + top, tree was 1.24 mtr across at the bottom so pretty big for UK,

NO, looked at all this myself recently dont know about VOSA checks every 3 month but tacho, operators liecence and MOT yes, www.gov and your head will be up your arse,

i will do 10 delivered for £199

stihl expert, vented on the top, good ear protection,good view through the fine mesh visor had several helmets in the past and this is the best one so fare on the second one now ,

i think i would be looking at the hinges on the cab, we have had a hot summer and lubrication seems to dry up/disappear then we get it wet for a while and corrosion sets in, our log trailer we norrmally grease once a week this summer every other day and then it took several more pumps than normall, on your cabstar there should be a grease point on the hinges WD first get it moving then grease as you should be doing, if that dont work your back to square one, we had a ford cargo years ago and in summer the cab seemed harder to lift and the above was the problem, hope this helps you out,

most motor factor supplies ie the ones that go to garages with spare parts in small vans stock 1,8 mtr lengths of exhaust pipe in various diameters for repairs, had a few in the past and only about £10 a length would that not do your job ?

You say you cant rely on subcontractor/cash in hand, i work with several arb crews along with my own work, 3 of them i get 2-3 wk notice off and occasionally less but one guy who proberbaly wants me the most i do the least work with, reason why he has this nasty habbit of ringing me and asking what you doing tomorrow tusday and wednesday so i just say working then he asks if i can alter things to accomadate him answer is no, then i ask him how long has he known about this job and it generally 2-3 wk so i have asked him and told him why cant he give me more than 24 hrs notice if he has known for a couple of wks so basically i have told him if he cant plan 2 wk in addvance and give me 2 wk notice not to ring me,the other 3 crews i have had to cancell one day in what 5 years due to a funeral , and yes NPTC training for chipper saw hedge cutter pole saw etc and all PPE will have to be provided plus employee liabilaty along with other things, personally i would wait till after this brexit deal goes through (if it ever does) as if some thing happens thats not forcast to happen and we go in to another reccession it may cost you quite a bit to get rid of some one i would mudell on for now till the future looks a bit clearer,

hi where abouts in preston are you ? and yes could deliver 10 in one go

how many you after ? have some just cages no tank to dispose of some are only used once and not that far from you garstang area,

thats a very fair comment that, i dont like puting pics on net with machines in the background for the same reason ,

i dont think cutting big spruce windblown with a saw with 25" bar on for 6 months helps and my next job is a load of tosh as well some big narly lodgepole edge trees that are nearly as wide at the bottom as they are tall so big saw again " great "

No good me putting my CV in after todays performance felled about 7-8 birch and spruce today along with cutting windblown, felling cuts, a 3 year old could of done better but bear in mind i have been cutting big windblown for about last 6 months , only cut that was ok was a spruce 22-24" dia rest where a right dogs dinner i think i had better book on a cs 31 training course again ?

when was the last time you lifted it to do oil water check etc ?

snowing at Bleasdale this morn only that fine powdery stuff but it was there. and fxxxxxx cold in that wind this morn,,

when you say you will proberbly put bigger wheels and tyres be very carefull as you just cant put biger wheels on either back or front they have to be paired up to keep the rolling radius other wise you screw the diffs up when in 4wd, i went through all this about 6 yrs ago when i bought my Kubota and decided to leave well alone,

eh they never had cabs in the good old days of forestry , but men where men in those days and all the sheep just looked worried,!!!!!

you will be cutting the cab of at the week end ?

from my expeiriance of my cabstar yes parts may be dear but you very rarely need any ,

i know it pisses you off when you think you are working for some one that some one else says ,oh hes as sound as a pound, but what they failed to tell you is they are as tight as a ducks arse, iv had it several times last one was a log customer, made a brew when got there and talked about getting another load off me but when he went to get money, he couldnt find it as Mrs must of took it so he went for check book and Mrs had taken that as well, i will drop it off for you he told me, 3 wk later still no payment, so rang him and he hung up after i told him who i was, about 4 months later i see this volvo parked up in a car park at a forest enterance, i slam on and just roll back BASC and a dog is for life sticker in back window thats Barrys i thought and if its got a dent n scrape on NS front wing its definatly his, picked bins up and had a scan up track and about 4-500 mtrs up track there is a guy walking up the hill with his springers its Barry i watched him till he went out of sight had a good look around no other cars or people about 45 seconds later 4 deflating tyres on his volvo and to replace them would be more than £80, i would take his £200 and wait several months and get your revenge and satisfaction some other way that would hurt him more in the pocket than you asked for, i so Barrys car about 3 wks after on a super market car park with 4 new tyres on it and as i was going in he was coming out and i asked him for my £80 he got his wallet out and gave me what paper money he had £55 all he could say was i forgot all about that and then he asked me if i would deliver him some more, i reminded him about hanging up on me and me having to waiting near on 12 mth for only part payment go fuck yourself,

i know a guy up in north yorks with 3/4 brand new 260s in the boxes he aquired them several years ago when a dealer retired and the lucky basket got them at cost, will he sell me one NO he wont,

when you bought them did you not get a small jar of meindl boot care (dubin/wax) in the box with them ? if not its some sort of dubin or neatsfoot oil which is a oil that is applied to horses hooves to make em shine my last pair of boots now 5 year old where always done with neatsfoot oil and have lasted well, started to fall apart inside now but still wearing them and the soles still have good tread on but its forestry work so all ways on the soft stuff and not tarmac,

Hi if your logs where cut and split befor march they should be sub 20% anyway, with the summer we had there should be no need for any one to import kiln dried and with the ever increasing threat of global warming the heat going in to the atmosphere is getting beyond the joke even here in the uk, 2 people i know are on the RHI payment sceam one guy put 2 boilers in to heat his work shop no insulation in roof, 20x16 roller shutter doors open all day long and his RHI goverment payment is now paying a 850 K mortgage, all right for some, and another thing that gets me about climate change is the Osmonds had a hit in the early 70s with crazy horses which was all about bid gas guzzling cars polluting the atmosphere and here we are 45 years later and not a lot but a bit done about it but now they decide to pay people to heat the atmosphere,,,

larch has a good reputation for being durable out in the weather, milled some 3" square ones for a guy about 7/8 yrs ago he got them treated and then stood them in 45 gall drums in creosote for a couple of wks then turned them over and put in another drum with oil and creosote mixed 50/50 and did the bottom said he had been doing it for many years and there was some post and rail fencing on the farm that had been there 40+ yrs but he does go round every year with a knap sack sprayer spraying it all.
