Just in case anyone’s struggling doing these, I just found a lovely way to make it easy. Screw it to the bench and use a cable tie instead of the special hook tool that the manual wants you to buy. Nothing earth shattering. Just a very little bit of joy into someone’s life hopefully.

Let AI and idiots lap up shit. The more chainsaw accidents the better. Let’s get this mess to its conclusion.

The four principal orientations of manual rotating grabs on skidsteers (when pinned to not rotate) are: Scorpion Battering ram Bulldozer Claw machine With pin removed and grab free to rotate, it's snake mode. This nomenclature has been formalised and industrially homologated and a record is lodged with the proper authorities. Amen.

Mine was a Stihl strimmer. Put a new clutch on and fired it up without the drum. BANG! AND THE CLUTCH IS GONE. No windows or teeth broken. Just eight quid of shoes and springs that went somewhere. Cheap mechanical instruction.

It's not because I said Greenmech chippers are shit is it?

Sany have got some horrendous adverts running atm. They were doing quite well I thought, positioning themselves as an increasingly credible bridge between established western brands and high end Chinese. And then just flushed a few years of work down the toilet for a couple of cheap videos narrated by a synthesised woman talking about the 21 tonne digger on the screen (actually 2.1 tonnes). Wrote themselves off to me for another decade INSTANTLY.

That's appalling. Whole sentence is crap. If I didn't know who Husky were, I'd shut the window for being tingtong. I weep when I see things like that. They've been making stuff since 1689. All that brand goodwill, teetering on the edge of worthlessness for a moment's laziness/crassness.

The fact you can balls up a Honda makes me wonder whether we should all have a bit more sympathy with Briggs and Stratton.

In pork and cider with potatoes.

Yeah. Quite agree. Plenty of people don't need to be able to recall and recite Henry VIII's wives' names, their times tables or the tax treatment of gingerbread men to be classed as intelligent. But try teaching that sort of thing, or why you put a sheet down before you trim a hedge, or why you wash your hands before surgery, or why you put the load as much as possible over the tyre of the barrow, or why an earthquake happens, or whatever whatever whatever to ten blacks, ten whites, ten browns and ten yellows. A pattern will emerge. For anyone joining the conversation now and wondering why Enoch Powell has joined in, read back a few pages to see the context before calling me a racist. Then call me a racist by all means. I'm not but it'll give Dave a few minutes off.

Just more decent, steady tree work from a guy who shows it nicely. Particular good section on lifting rigs from 7-15 minutes.

I was following on from tree fancier saying blacks are just as teachable as anyone else, that they have the same hardware but just aren't educated to the same standard as whites, yellows, browns. I don't think they have the hardware to cope with the sorts of things the west wants to teach people. Ten blacks and ten whites, the whites will pick it up faster. Also shows in untaught critical/lateral thinking, problem solving.

You know what. You're absolutely right. I'd keep my eye out for something like a second hand 088, sold by a reputable and sexually magnetic professional.

They do a pedestrian machine. MT100? You don’t see many of them here and I think they’re on the old fashioned (ish) control pattern.
-
Ask on tree facebook. Then give it a few weeks for people to forget. Then ask if anyone has a second hand one to sell.

Like Mick says. 500i is the answer to a lot of arb questions. Even a 661 on the same bar and chain is (or at least feels) slower on smaller wood. I’m aware that might sound like bollocks because displacement is displacement but I’ve just cut about 150 tonnes of 4-40” firewood with a 500i and a 661 on the same bars so feel fairly qualified to comment. 881/3120. Forget it. No point until you’re regularly doing six foot cuts. Too much misery for not enough reward.

This week’s job has been trying to diligently tie off all the little fiddle-fuxk decisions on the winch that I’ve been putting off for months. Got some final answers from my machinist on how much clearance he wants designed in for certain ops etc (I know - dream client!) so no excuses to not get the bits my end done. A few more (tens of) hours of CAD and then buy a piece of aluminum the size of a phone book and commit. IMG_5801.MOV

Learning how to do the job so bark, ratedpeople etc can generate leads with the pricing already completed for you.

Who got the other sets of cheap Sherpa tyres the other day then? I was going to buy them all but seemed rude when other people were wanting them. Long overdue. My current ones are bald as.

All it’s doing is averaging/summarising the things people have put on the internet. People. Average people. The people in the middle of the bell curve. Pig ignorant slags whose collective wit has probably already been harnessed to control the rods in nuclear reactors. I might move closer to one. Get it over with quickly. Christ we’ve cocked this planet up.

No vision. Milan, Monaco, Malton.

Not calling it Dempsey International was a mistake.
