Nice vid, might I suggest slowing down a bit. By slowing down a bit the jerky action will in turn be at a Min. Remember what you see is nearly the same as what the camara see's! Did noticed the car entering the work area, idiot!, good eye and your groundie got the car out of the way before any accident could occure. Was wondering why same area in question was not coned off?. Thanks for the vid. easy-lift guy

So they have served and made the ultimate sacrifice, hence they will be honored and never forgotten!. I commend the people of Wootton Bassett for their respect of the fallen and returning. On behalf of the arm services of the US I salute the United Kingdom. easy-lift guy USA.

s.mouse, might I suggest in the future when it comes to payment for services rendered if the customer get's a bit silly make this statement very clear: " I have an arrangement with my bank I don't extend credit for services rendered and in return the bank does not do tree work or any other type of work" End of subject. Otherwise get all of the rest of your ducks in a row and file the paper work for small claims court. Good hunting. easy-lift guy.

I concure with likeit, You could grow out of an electric pretty quick, petrol would be my fist and only choice. easy-lift guy

Good for you Geoff. Stop them or at least slow them down. Never take any location or situation for granted. easy-lift guy

My guess is some sort of mine clearing device. elg

Clever and dangerous. The concept is simple enough, however with zero safety provisions in place I suspect the folks from Sthil are busy tracking down the creator and issuing cease/desist orders for using said device with a Sthil saw. IMO the concept has potential with the proper safe guards in place. easy-lift guy.

The amount of fluids leaking from all sorts of transport far surpasses any measurable amount being generated by a chainsaw, Relax. elg

Just read, RIP. as for all that have and continue to serve. elg

Nice job Woodpicker, wish the folks over here would use protective screen more often for roadside work. elg

Andy your keeping yourself busy and that is a big part of smoking. Keeping yourself busy from now on will make you understand how silly smoking was in the first place. Take care and stay safe, smoke free. elg

Wow that was painful. Do they have safety cones in the UK for securing a work area? I wonder if that safety tape was HSE approved?. Wonder how they disposed of the trunk/limbs afterwards?. At least here in the states most fire departments have at least one chain saw to work with and usually one person to work it. elg

I would include your Insurance cost and any and all taxes you will be paying for your jobs. Unless you have already figured these Two items into your hourly rate they should be included. Like anywhere else the going labor rate will vary and you will encounter competition so you will need to be prepared for that. Your fixed cost are most of everything you have listed and I have suggested. Your Variable or nor re occuring cost are a little more tricky to calculate. After that you still have to come up with a profit off of your hired labor and one for your self. It take a little time but you can and will do it. All the best. elg

I believe my "eutopian concept" is based more in reality than the present means of funding a society by having a level playing field. As far as the current US debt and funds owed to China, which does not hold the highest amount of said debt. A Flat Tax would limit the amount of funds available to work with and a balanced budget amendment at the Federal level would see to it. In my state of Florida we are required by our constitution to have a balance budget every year. No balance budget no funding and the state shuts down until the budget is completed and signed off by our Governor. No continuing resolutions or running of the presses 24/7 to keep the currency floating. The Trillions of dollars you claim we are in dept for is not set in stone and most of this spending has not taken place and I believe it will not take place as well IMO. Since I did say it would take at least one generation to see any longer term results I can accept your opinion that it could take longer. I feel we have Two choices more of the same or living within ones means. I choose to live within my own means and the rest of this country ie the US needs to wise up and smell the coffee ASAP. I would still invest in the best equipment because it is a reflection of how my business operates. As far as hourly rates are concerned in regards to diverse types of work there will always be another company ready willing and able to compete for work otherwise there would not be any competition. Hourly wages for jobs will be based on what the customer is willing to pay and happy or sad the same customer will be after said job is completed. easy-lift guy

You were even luckier that you did not get a full body cavity search!, there tough in Chicago. elg

Sounds like you should try using a Carbide chain since the material your trying to cut is better suited for that type of chain. elg

FLAT TAX, AND A BALANCED BUDGET FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. Do not spend more than you bring in. Living within ones means is not really a new concept, just one that has not been practiced by the masses for a long time. would take at least One generation to see any longer term results. Problem is most of the population has been on the dole/public well fare programs for so many generations, that the resistance would be very strong against such a solution. Any how I am not really a genius just willing offer a viable alternative to being taxed into oblivion. I to look forward to other opinions. easy-lift guy

I have not tryed one yet, however all of the dealers I know of are doing very well with them as well as at many tradeshows. easy-lift guy

Draining the fuel and transporting in a case would be fine for the mass transit system here in the states. Rover it sounds like you were auditioning for a Capital One Credit Card ad here in the states. If anyone was to ask you "what's in your wallet", it better be a Capital One Credit Card! All the best. easy-lift guy

Touche Mark and if the VAT was scraped all together in your country there would be such an economic BOOM, the likes of which most if not all of Europe could not begin to understand. IMO you pay a VAT tax because your told to, not because there is any actual "Value". How the tax man can claim Value from a tax on most everything ppt included is nearly as illusionary as Jasper Maskelyne during WWII, actual difference Jasper Maskelyne was the real thing. The Tax man is still pretending, getting away with it. elg

Some people are so shifless. Hope they recover all of the dogs, can't begin to know how the owners feel right now. Thanks Matt for putting out the APB, "All Puppies Bulletin" elg

Here in the states we are tax exempt when purchasing raw material for a finished product. Everything else is taxable/deductable. At 20% Tax for most items sold I would make sure that every one of my suppliers not only knew what was taxable but clearly stated the non-taxable items as well. After all it is not all of the Governments money, unless your willing to part with it all. elg

Marc, I would recommend, An Illustrated Guide to Pruning 3rd edition by Doctor Edward F. Gilman. Presently available at Amazon.com Price $80.49. The price is well worth the investment. All information is well document and is in the form of a text book. For someone just getting started in this business or for anyone else in this industry I can not recommend this book more highly. All the best easy-lift guy

Thanks Graham, For the 5 min's or so it took me to read your history lesson it brought back fond memories of stories my adult family members told me as a child. It is a pity that today's generation can not or will not learn from the past. Interesting and true as far as I can tell and remember history. easy-lift guy.

Pretty harsh, do you hate owners of pets as well?, hope not for your sake. What go's around comes around. easy-lift guy
