That's a shame

In Lancashire nearest place that you may know of is garstang and timber located in bleasdale.

£70 cube would work back to £63 per tonne for larch saw log's which is not far of the mark may be a bit steep but haulage distance will reflect on price. Where selling dry windblown spruce and lodgepole pine @ £1100 + haulage full wagon and drag weight will be around 20 tonne ish .

Good result that simon we have some oak coming down on the job where the big beech trees are if your interested in them ring me I can take you to look at them if you want .

I wish I was, went out with her when we where about 14/15 1st base and that was it, however I will see her on new years eve and get grope and a tongue lashing , can't wait,

Yes we don't need to get out of the chair to order a take away these days just eat and that other one and there are probably more of these apps but the big question to me is in years to come what will all this cost are already stretched and crippled NHS, it won't be millions but more like billions of pounds, as let's face it the bigger you are the more pressure there is on all your body parts and organs.

I have to agree on this subject, 30 years ago I spent a lot of time delivering for a landscaping co round the northwest and fat birds where thin on the ground back then, nowadays there seems to be plenty of them, its all down to the life style of today and all the crap food they eat ready meals takeaways pizza etc, there's a few lasses I grew up with that are still very tidy and all had kids and i would say fall in to the MILF.com category, and one in particularly stands out who has 3 children and 3 grand children but has a figure that a lot of 20 year olds would kill for.

Just having a wild guess I would say, Oldham ,

So you use a 461 for 3" conifer's ? as you obviously don't own a smaller saw. We are currently felling 80ft spruce on a 45° bank, the saw of choice for me is a 241 (girls saw) uses half the fuel of 461 and 2/3rds the weight and gets the job done and I can still carry it after a 9hr day, there is a saying in life that is very true and that's WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER I use my 461 for severing 3' diameter windblown spruce and processing over size and that's its job.

Mine are but they are not haix and looking at what has just happened to a colleges haix boots I wouldn't buy a pair the rubber cushioning on the heel has just disintegrated at 15 month old and that's in forests all soft stuff no concrete or tarmac.

Nissan cabstar 30l tilper was £178 last year gone up this time to £202 fully comp only me to drive but not shouting about the price as its cheep done through quote line direct 01618744180 give em a ring as I have past several people on to them.

Hi yes I Have one and apart from a bit of trouble with the m tronic box at the beginning its been fantastic and I can't fault it at all, I cut firewood with it (about 120-150 tonne per year, and when we go felling its the first saw I pick up and I have felled some fair old larch trees with it like 30" + , I run it on a 14" bar and find that the best combination for the saw , I bought the saw for a job we got felling 2400tonne of infected larch on a steep banking and I wanted a light pro saw with a decent power to weight ratio and this is the one, other lads pick it and use it and they allsay the same, f--k me that's a ballsy little saw, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another hope this helps you out

Hi looking at your machine it looks mower based, may be try a grass machinery breakers, or ring whitehouse products at port Glasgow with pump make and number they may have one or cross reference it with something else, I know what you are up against as been in same position my self looked for months then found 3 on a shelf in a small hydraulic co in Leeds,

I am with you on this one Gary , some climbers think they are the Bs n Es and same as yourself in my third decade now, I have worked with quite a few climbers over the years OK some have been OK ,some better than others and some others ,well what can I say, my granny would of been better, in any job qualifications are one thing but experience speaks so much louder, it takes many years to gain that experience, but every now and then we come across a climber that is different, a out 3 yrs ago I had a lad for several jobs I wished I had come across him a few years before but unfortunately he moved to france. About a yr ago came across a young lad with his head screwed on the right way, he is not a good climber, he is what every one would look for, he is safe ,efficient and very well mannered with customers he has a very mature head on young shoulders very rare in this day and age. The young lads coming through today like the starter of this thread how are they to gain confidence in what they do if the team leader slates them and they get paid crap money ?, I don't knoiw what people expect but you have to remember we all have to start some where, just ask yourself what where you like 1 yr in ? ? ?, New groundie £70-80 a day if he is OK £90-100 and if he is up to your spec may be a bit more , and its like a lot of other things in life you get what you pay for , I have seen adds on here for brash monkeys ,em, and they wounder why they can't get any one to reply , personally I wouldn't dream of asking for staff in that manor , as I just see that as a non starter.

391 Nothing like a 460/461, to put it bluntly 391 would be like a donkey racing a pure breed race horse with the 460/461 being the pure breed race horse.

From past experience buy from your local dealer because if any thing goes wrong I have always found you get a better after service on a saw that you have purchased from them (as you are a customer of theres now)as compared to a saw bought else where. I use a relatively new 660for milling on 30" bar and find it fine for the little I do with it.

YES and I used to find it quite annoying but now I get great satisfaction out of it, I used to sit there getting wound up but now a day's I go out the other gate then park my truck across the front of the offending car then take my dog for a walk, when I return (with caution) there is either some one on the phone telling someone that some w----r has parked right in front of my car and i cant get out or there's a couple arguing ,I told you not to park here, if I can confront them about parking I ask them if they have children, if yes I just say if it was your son or daughter working with us and they had a serious accident with a saw and we needed a ambulance but access was denied by some inconsiderate Pearson parking in the access gate and denying the paramedics access ,how would you feel, answer is usually point taken, another was sat & sun a 4x4 parked but to the side just leaving me enough room but barrier opens out so I used to just let it bang against the rear corner don't see it now.

I run a 241in forestry along with other saws up to 660 but its always the 241 that I pick up first its light handles well and is quite gutsy for a small saw, I run a 14" bar on it and fell trees 30" and above regularly and a very good snedding saw, I purchessed it in march 2015 and had no issues with it only put a new plug in it about 3 months ago.

Hi the above I can be!have 3 men and 1.5 tonne machine but not 40 sections a day the most we ever done was 21 7.9 posts, concrete base and 6x5 panel and that was in lytham st annes (all sand there)

Totally agree FC should have taken this into account before felling licence was granted, I can't say what I want to say on here, but the FC are not the easiest organisation to deal with .

Hi all,we have a site where we are arranging some cs32 medium tree courses and some windblown training courses, the courses are to be held in sept Oct 2017 and will consist of 2 days training with a nptc accesment the day after, all courses will be on a first come first served basis as places will be limited,we are based approx 10 miles north of Preston Lancashire for more details and information call Gary on 07763013024,if no answer leave voicemail and we will return your call asap. Many thanks .

Hung up tree,either a tree you are felling that as not made it to the ground and is stuck in the top of anothere tree or a tree that is windblown (rootball still attached )or a tree that has broke of and again stuck in anothere tree.

Self employed owner driver a wage on top would of been nice as well but that don't happen to me .
