  1. It was also the reach I got from loppers rather than saw which was handy. Seen battery secateurs and very tempted but would not have reach. About 80% of growth was inch and a little more.
  2. Last 4 days pruning 6 Holm oaks and a Oak which is in decline do to being struck by lightning many years ago. Holm Oak had 4 years of growth just used loppers in the end to do most as quicker then saw, but killed arms. Loader made single track road clearing easy. Wind was a major problem blowing about 45km/h.
  3. Not nice. I went to doctors about 10 years ago not feeling well, headache, stiff joints, saw eyes plus other things, doctor asked what I had been doing at work, I had been cleaning scrub in a field was my answer. Gave me a form to get blood test, then asked any deer in that area, yes I said, then another form for blood test. I went for blood test and land up taking it out of both arms 12 files of blood and lymes not detected. Results came back low platelet levels and no answer why, just had blood test three weeks later then six weeks all back to normal. I deer stalk on an estate with a mate, we find parts of the estate deer are covered in ticks and other parts of it they have none.
  4. I did work at a private school up to about 4 years ago. They started saying, needed Risk assessments method statements insurance copy and DBS cheque, Told them to find someone else as had worked for them for about 30 plus years and was the person how had worked there the longest. School closed last year so no loss, and very little work ha been do there since I stopped.
  5. As mentioned Adrian Flux may be worth a try, limit mileage can drop price, also named drivers and over 21 years old. That's if you do that.
  6. Job I started last we and finished Wednesday, 200 meters of Estate fencing and pair of gate replaced old post and rail. Just need to paint once fluff has stopped falling off Poplars..
  7. Bought one about 10 years ago which was seized, rebuilt it and use sometimes, find it a very unbalanced saw compared to other 300 series saws.
  8. If you sit one in road back up cones with truck parked either side of it. And tell traffic management if being use and they will cone off long distance so you are safer.
  9. It's in woodland, can you not just fell it, even into enough tree and then winch it out.
  10. Started a fence job today, taking old fence down to put Estate fencing up. Left odd post for line, they had odd nail sticking out so got grinder to cut them off, well next we were running around put fire out, Balsam Poplar fluff laying on the floor court light never new it court light that quickly, just like petrol fire.
  11. You say toy but what will it be used for, if off road would go for Agri type of tyre.
  12. Would of thought electric fault, will moving throttle hold key to stop it vibrating and moving. My 150 would shut down when you dropped rev down turn out to be ignition switch, just sprayed WD40 into key hole and have never had a problem with it,
  13. When it stops is it slow or sudden,
  14. Thanks all sorted for tomorrow. Think council got new person filling in paperwork and didn't know what was needed, traffic management did a great job, council only allowing 10, to 3 as they reckon it's a busy road.
  15. Think it's on other side of engine. That's a pressure switch in picture you haven't been trying to start it with that not pushed in.
  16. Traffic management are supplying lights and doing permit so I don't have hassle. But it is.
  17. Removal of willow tree over road which council have put 28 day notice on.
  18. This is what I have done. But are still asking for.
  19. If oil sensor fitted could be the problem.
  20. First time I have ever been asked if I have one, and do quite a few job on highway with traffic management involved. Council are asking the question on 28 say notice on tree, Are they just being you know what. Is there a way round it people have found.
  21. I quite agree with you it looks bang on. But looking were house is has no view at lovely countryside.
  22. Why the hell is that hedge been aloud to get that big.
  23. I hope you have a felling licence to carry at work, only chipper that would make job easier is 6 inch capacity or bigger and tracked if access is bad.
  24. Can you not fit locking caps, Then they may just drill tank.
  25. If it's only young growth you could get a cheap topper mower 6 ft wide. Easier to maintain the flail. That video has been speed up a lot would of taken him days to do that. I run a old Wessex scrub master, out of machines I have used before it's an animal.
