  1. I had a Husqvarna one like that, was a good tool until I bought a long reach and never used it, so converted it to long reach by fitting long shaft.
  2. If you are in that deeper water no need for chainsaw wellies, unless using a saw with 3ft or 4ft bar.
  3. My Tobroco giant did similar on starting once turned over and then nothing, it was a fuse but had broken up and looked OK. Maybe best to try fuses again by switching the ignition one.
  4. Flaming June, but not how it's ment to be.
  5. Good for carving are holds good edge.
  6. Those side pins are 30mm and that ram has plenty of power. But was only a test today but will probably chain it to fork.
  7. Was looking for winch in a box to drag stump grinder on to truck after a couple of near misses. But made one for a lot less and stronger. Used it this morning to pull some dead pines back for road and BT cable with it anchored to Giant.
  8. Just buy a new end, they don't last for ever.
  9. Bet there's not many both as not running out every day with trailer,
  10. Could it be a bonnet safety switch,
  11. Trailer may not sink but Manitou will, that's why he is using Quad.
  12. Absolutely try, only time I meet all family members is a funeral.
  13. Just bought a Pulsar quantum xq50 off a mate how has upgraded, complete game changer when deer stalking on edge of woodland, the big problem is squirrels in most of woodland were we stalk, you can watch them though pulsar but you can't see them without. But they don't see though wood.
  14. Quite right, all the tickets don't make you good at tree work. Walk before you Run.
  15. That's sad news as bought quite a few bits off them for chippers, mainly because they delivered next day or 2 not like other's a week. Maybe price of sweets have got to high for them. 😃
  16. The tips will turn brown sometimes no matter how sharp cutter is, had it on a hedge a couple of years ago hedge cutter was brand new and razor sharp.
  17. Morning, Had today's job cancelled last night as garden was under water, rang 6 other customer and all said garden to wet. So looks like a day of paper work.
  18. The best way I have found to do roe and muntjac is lay on lightly oil foil season with black pepper, onion salt, and other herbs. Rap it up in the foil and cook on gas mark 5 for 30min for muntjac and 45min for roe. Let it cool and put in fridge and then cut it and put it in fresh bread rolls. But each to their own,
  19. It does say, free cash withdrawals.
  20. That's the answer. I quote for work years ago now and it was big job, re-pollarding willows, the nearest quote was £4000 dearer and the highest was £12000. And before anyone asks I made money on that job.
  21. Blunt knife is a dangerous one also chipper blades.
  22. That is the problem with some hire companies,
  23. Knowing how a machine runs and works is key in this business, if it brakes down you need it fix for the next day or on that day to finish job. Only the other day switch packed up on eclectic supply to 6 way valve to work grab and rotator on little loader. So I pulled wires from work light on boom and wire 6 way valve to it and used light switch instead.
