Clearly a case of "well it aint my tool" syndrome...
Daniël Bos replied to wisecobandit's topic in General chat
I simply don't lend out anything I can't afford to loose. When in exceptional circumstances someone has borrowed a saw or other valuable tool it is with the understanding that if anything is different in any way from how it went out the whole machine gets replaced with a new one. No exceptions. -
Yew?.

That'll make exactly no difference at all. The immobilizer responder is solid-state and passive. The fob is just for the remote central locking and not related.

Looks good for billets, but it seems like It wouldn't cut to the bottom of those bundles?

Was on the phone app when I got it and couldn't see an easy way to report it so left it till I'd be on the 'puter. Opened up the laptop, had a look and presto! Banned already! Thanks Mods

Went to tax my new jeep earlier.... Could not tax it for 6 Months, as they'd run out of 6 month discs! Told me I could go to one particular post office 20 miles away as there they have the last ones in the county...

No pic...?

Some good information there chaps, thanks very much. Last time I worked a grant hedge it was £5/m and £2.40 for stakes and binders. It was possible to do and earn a wage but I really had to work "down to cost" as opposed to the preferred "up to spec". It would seem rates are a bit more reasonable now. The farm in question is in HLS at the moment and there just figuring out whether the laying needs doing over two or three seasons. About a mile of hedge in with some more recent plantings for the future as well.

Can anyone tell me what farmer Giles can currently expect to be paid for having his hedges laid, and which rates for what schemes?

I use this system, can't fault it and works well with a truckman top. Also gets some respect in the rougher area's of town. http://

Anyone know Conifer Propagation? Weeper in Redwoods. Spruce.
Daniël Bos replied to mdvaden's topic in General chat
I believe hardwood cuttings, taken in late summer do best for most conifers. Very slow to take root, but quite a good uptake percentage on most species compared to broadleaves. -
So, why not stick the chipper on the truck and chip into a trailer? Bolt a turntable chipper on the back of a Landover, should be plenty of load cap left on the vehicle for tools etc. Stick a tipping trailer behind it and you've got 2.5t load cap. If your worried about access add a front mounted towbar. Sorted.

That looks great, the hooks are fab and their slightly irregular shapes really enhance the rustic look without looking messy. What I'd have done differently, is to just pass a plane over then quickly to take off the milling marks as surface roughness like that makes it much harder to keep clean. Each to their own though, great pieces.

Probably will but depends a little on vehicle use (in the process of deciding to change the number of cars/trucks in our household) as my wife needs to be in Leicester that weekend. I won't compete, not really my thing (not scared of losing but I'm very much a FFF kind of guy -Form Follows Function- and the championships tend to be the opposite...)

Sorry to derail but: KKK2, does your company uniform look a lot like a big white sheet, perhaps with a full face mask and a very pointy helmet?
-
Unless I have my mill setup wrong surely that is the cutting side, not the return? Which would make it even more of a mystery. Did the saw get used with the chain wedged just beside the sprocket perhaps (on a saw with an outboard clutch)? That could cause it to run out of the bar groove, but would have to go in combination with a slack chain I reckon? Had the saw been on the mill for a while previously or was the damage done the day you found it (looks a little aged to me?) if so can you recall a log that seemed to take much too long to cut even though there were no nails in it...?

Ripeur 2 are full leather, I think the 1's are quite a different design, much less protection.
-
I use two or three pairs/season I suppose. Though I use more than one pair at a time in a rotation of slow drying. Nothing worse than putting on cold wet gloves after tea in the snow!
-
How many m is half a season? Half a mile/800m? £25 / 800 = just over 3p/m...

That wimmer looks like a 5th wheel trailer so either its an artic or a mini artic (b+e 5th wheel, quite common in mainland Europe) which would mean it could be up to about 5.5t on a normal car plus trailer license.

I think such offers can work and be fair, but not in this business. Selling goods is quite a different matter, esp when sold by a retailer (so the product is equal). Selling a service, a craft, knowledge etc as we do cannot so easily be compared. Yes, a tree disappeared from the garden is just that but how that happened makes a difference. How does the lawn look afterwards, was anything damaged (and if so, how is it dealt with) was the work done safely and were the people adequately trained (technically the responsibility of the person paying), how was the interaction between workers and client, neighbors, passers by etc. All these things are to be taken into consideration, and then we haven't even got to quality of work when doing anything but straight removal, tree knowledge, aftercare, advice, the list is endless...

This is correct.
