    worth a go I guess thank goodness I live on my own nobody to witness this strange ritual think i'll try some cod liver oil anyway cant do any harm, don't suppose I can do much for my bottom half as that's mostly down to a bike crash I had years ago, but would be nice to ease the discomfort in the hands a bit

    always worth going with the buttons cos those manual bars are a pain in the a**e also we've found they jam quite a bit with bigger bits they take the last bit through the feed rollers it jams into the flywheel stalling it out, get/make a spring puller it makes life easier if this happens, get it sorted in 2 mins otherwise not had to much bother , outside of operator error

    had an experiment today moving some wheatley elm, think that is as long as id want to go, somewhere between 6/7 metre (no tape ) I did have two barrels for ballast but the second one obscured vision too much so stuck with one rocked a bit but wasn't to bad on the whole, but unless its a very good bit of timber I think i'll stick to shorter lengths cos the other factor is s**t! how do I get this through the city!? I took the bypass instead of leaving a trail of broken railings and bent bollards handy thing about the trailer is the lights unplug at the rear so can plug a trailer board in at the back

    chainsaw boots? most other workboots are quite thin I wear mine most of the time cos there really comfy and are nice and warm, but warm feet into warm boots is always a good start a warm on the radiator in the morning magic

    what would have been better is a big branch landing right in front of his face while on the deck that may have had the necessary effect!

    haha that reminds me of a group that came into where we were working all 'we have a right to go anywhere anytime' I was in the middle of giving him an earful about the fact that regardless who or what he was he wasn't going anywhere till the guy up the tree said otherwise his mates turned round and cycled away leaving him there somewhat deflated when he noticed :lol:
