You're going to a beautiful part of the World. Best wishes over there. Don't forget the midge repellant! Jim

Spent the weekend with my 576 on 30" beech and 20" elm logs. Ran an 18" bar and then a 26" bar. It was one fantastic bit of kit. It was running pretty much the entire day and wasn't a killer on the arms or back. Not a machine for snedding pines, too heavy for that, but for hardwood delimbing it is ace.

Fabulous bit of work. Been tempted to get an Alaskan for a wee while. I reckon if I let Mrs M see these photos I'll get the money next day!!!
-
One of each for me. Great designs.

I wonder if you can highlight how they are funding equipment/fuel used/pay rates on private jobs through a Freedom Of Information request. It might show if they are being unfairly subsidised.

Yet! This is why the thread started. We just saw similar in another thread. Whether its "you didn't remove the stump too" or otherwise. I'm just starting out and this is a big lesson for new business start-ups. We cannot afford to throw away substantial amounts of income for the sake of missing a few minutes of paperwork. Thanks for posting this Paul.

Sorry mate, didn't see this until this morning, thanks to Easyjet's delays yesterday. Pity you didn't post this with a bit more advance warning. I did my 32 in December. I guarantee you'll enjoy it. Nothing quite like felling big wood

Hoping for plenty of snow at Gatwick tomorrow so my Sleazyjet from Inverness gets cancelled and I cant make it back to London

Picked up my 576XP (standard) from Jonesie a couple of weeks ago now and loving it. For normal fir stuff I just can't fault the 346xp for handling when it comes to snedding quick, but once onto the bigger cherry that I was dealing with, the 576 just chewed it up and spat it out. Fab saw. Don't find it too heavy and it's a nice shape for throwing around when de-limbing. Running an 18" bar, with a 24" in reserve.

I'm with pleasant about being pleasant The text of your note may inspire them to look elsewhere. A cheery note that regrets that your rate has gone up to cover increasing costs should be sufficient and not P them off.

Never, ever, underestimate these guys. What a nice little piece of innovation.

What the Yorkshireman said is true. I felled 5 big'ish larches on my 32. High winds stopped play on day 2. The test was fine and I talked it all through with the assessor as I went. He gave me some extra pointers too and it went much like my 31 did. These guys have seen it all before and know you'll be nervous as hell. Take your time and be safe in what you do. You'll be fine. Good luck and enjoy.

Spent it!

Over in Moray you have Malcom More and also Ron Clowes. Why not give them a bell and have a chat? -
Some say he can fell a 4ft oak with his finger. Others, that his jaws are more powerful than a Greenmech chipper. But I want to know if you got him to do a lunge pose for Stevie's thread? Great visit. You guys are friendly and helpful. Bushwhacked by the Haix man and blew my raffle voucher on some boots. See you in the week for my saw I hope. Cheers Oh and that Ferrari will never make it as an arbtruck
-
Yup. Heading over for about 10. Think I won a £50 voucher for them! But I'll just have to go back a second time to spend it

Congratulations! When I was on the phone today it sounded mad busy. Best way to be. Looking forward to dropping by on Saturday.

I've taken the plunge and gone for the 576xp. Decided against auto-tune for the moment. Christmas part 2!
-
Cool. How long have you been using it?
-
Quite happy to go for a 576XP as my medium saw, but wondering if auto-tune is worth it? Good/bad comments?
-
Never too old! Have a good New Year Sandy.
