Agreed approx 30 yrs using saws before I did any tickets all private jobs , it was only when I got a chance to go subbing for one of the uk,s biggest forestry company's that I had to do the tickets , and yes I did learn something all thou not a lot but some things that I was doing i lernt a easier or quicker way , now a days i see lads using saws and they look like they are shit scared of it and in my book there the ones who will be paying the hospital a visit , some guys who have got tickets imo will never be able to use a saw swiftly and safely ,as long as they have a hole in there a__e .

Twin axle versus tri axle trailers - pros and cons?
spuddog0507 replied to Big J's topic in Large equipment
Totally agree with the above better resale value with ifor and a proven bit of kit, just look on fleabag and your answer is there e.g 2 yr old Nugent £1750 Brian James £1500 ifor £2200 other trailers seem to be cheap as chips ? But who Buys them I wouldn't , as i wouldnt consider owt but ifor far cheaper per mile/year to own. -

J go for the triple with what your doing , load spread over 3 axles and 6 wheels better braking over 6 wheels a d should be a lot more stable when towing . -
Just runic on a 18" bar good combination . I have some new parts for a 038 in my shed some where a exhaust and a recoil starter housing and there may be more.
-
Well that's no sugi bars to me then ! Not good customer service that post .
-
Hi, as said before some teeth are difficult to sharpen and some seem softer ? As for the service ordered 15 chains and a 20" 3/8 bar when delivered holes in bag, no bar and 4 chains missing wasn't there fault but may be packaging could be better to save the hasel of having to ring and sort out, was sorted quickly and order made good cutting wise OK but just use them on domestic jobs now, so its back to Oregon for commercial cutting in the woods.
-
Nowt dodgy about it ,its 20ft behind him and its more like bad camera angle, tree hung up in top of a lodgepole and a birch had to put a cut in birch then pull spruce and birch + half of lodgepole with tractor no way that was going to fall.
-
Tractor is Kubota l3250 4wd 40hp , move it about on 10ft ifor trailer works well for us as its only 5ft wide so can get down between rows of trees without taking any thing down.

Hi this was the job today and for next month or so windblown and standing sitka

The pleasure in cutting standing Sitka Spruce
spuddog0507 replied to difflock's topic in General chat
Best things for removing sitka resin I have found over the years are methes and a more modern addition is them lenses /glasses cleaning wipes out of aldi, cutting spruce at the moment, was standing but its now on the floor in a right tangled up mess some over fence in to field so more work. -
Yes totally agree some tutors are complete bellends ant the odd assessor who's an arsehole , only thing to add to this is left thumb round the front handle and not along side it, print the criteria sheet of the NPTC website and read it till you have memorised it and there's plenty of vids on YouTube to watch ,all the best and good luck with it ,stay calm and relaxed its not about how fast you can do it, its doing it in a safe controlled manor.

My mum all ways told me that money doesn't grow on trees' well here is the evidence that it really doe's , can't wait to show her.

NO Lawson leylandi cypress or hemlock, WHY NOT it all burns when dry, Lawson and sitka on my stove as I wright this gives good heat and better than some hardwoods , even if you take a mixture of both soft & hardwood your more likely to get a regular supply than being Choosey, I have several tree surgeons I collect timber from, I take some softwood but 70% I would say is hardwood and at the moment have more than I know what to do with.

Can't believe no one has mentioned not going out & Mrs browns boys, not going out must be one of the best comedy's of recent times or is it crap ? Well I don't mind it as its full of quick one liners .
-
I totally agree the comedy is like today's music crap, only fools n horses, George & Mildred ,the late great Ronnie barker in both porridge and the first open all hours and of course rising damp that they could not make today as it would not be politically correct for rigsby to take the piss out of Philips culture, some time back in the 80s when Chanel 4 first started I used to rush home from the local to watch the Paul hogan show, any one else do that.
