Ten cate TopTex. It's not 100% watertight but 99% of water will just run off it as long as it's not got the chance to pool anywhere. It's a felt-like cloth that lets air through so timber dries a lot better than either uncovered or under tarps. The other advantage of not being airtight is that it's a lot easier to tie down as it won't catch the wind like a tarp does. The stuff I have is a reasonable green colour as well so not too much of an eyesore.

Could be just my computer, but when I click the link supplied above I don't get to your "home" page. I get a page with no useful information and a request to "click here to continue" Whenever I see "click here to continue" on a normal web page alarm bells start ringing and a big "SCAM" alert sign flashes in my head... I was wondering why it's there, what does it add for your potential customers, how does it convince them to ask you to work for them? -
You reckon:sneaky2: It's 3 years old, has seen unknown use ("it's like new" without meaning to insult I'll take that with a pinch of salt...), ran out of warranty a year ago, is less powerful than the new one would be. All that for only £90 less than new. If my 365 only loses £30 a year I'd be well pleased.

Put in on Arbtrader open to offers. you'll either get what you want for it, or just keep it.
-
Seems a good service to offer, I hope it does well for you. The finish in your picture is not what I'd call "a good clear finish" though...

-I don't see the point of the "page in front"? why, what does it add? -On the top of each page page you refer to yourselves as both "Sheasby Tree Surgey" -On the emergency page you offer "piece of mind" to your customers. Unless you do a sideline in brain surgery "peace of mind" is probably more suitable. -On the tree surgery page, the first sentence is grammatically odd: ...best for trees environment... -On Crown thinning, should it be "tree's crown" not "trees crown" I'm a bit of a pedant, so my wife tells me... -
A 545 wit an 18" will be underpowered:thumbdown: A 365 with a 20" will be just fine, it's nearly got half as much cc's again as the 545! In my opinion a 365 xt is the best value for money saw there is at the moment. Convert it to a 372 for no pennies at all, give it a gentle exhaust mod while you're there and it'll master that 20" in good style.

Couple of years ago I did just that. 4ft Ash, 25mm rope, tracked 500hp tractor= sorted. Unless the ground is very mucky and slippery a challenger would pull over any tree given the rope is strong enough, long enough and set right. As long as you can set the rope high enough without fear of snapping out the top it doesn't normally take that much to pull them over in my experience? We had a quadtrack though, not a challenger as 4 tracks are better than 2 according to the farmer.
-
All true, however the question was not "what should a dealer do?" but "how much for an oil change and fuel filter":sneaky2: So, how much?
-
I'd have a go first with some scaffold netting tied or bungeed on, just to see if it helps and if it does it it helps enough prior to spending seriously.

Presuming you are vat reg'd this is only 30 quid past your budget: Husqvarna 550XP chainsaw (50.1cc) | F R Jones and Son and the very best you can buy in my opinion. Yes the bar is made of swiss cheese, just replace it when it's worn or ad a sugihara bar to your order (again, the best value for money by far) Or if you can stretch to 50 quid over £400 the 365 XT can be very easily modified to be a 372 XT and is the best value by far of any saw. Husqvarna 365 X Torq chainsaw (70.7cc) | F R Jones and Son Jones's have an extra discount on at the moment so good prices!

Seems clear enough to me and I'm not that smart (as my wife keeps reminding me) I'm not saying you mustn't get your driver CPC, it may well come in handy sometime, just like a pilot's license, or an Ice-Dancing qualification, or a firearms license. But like the pilot's license, you won't need one to drive a vehicle with a mam of 3500kgs or less:001_smile:

Thanks, I asked as the Mother in-law has pheromone traps in her apple orchard as a control measure and she reckons they're very effective so I wondered if such could be scaled up to make meaningful difference in the battle against opm.
-
I've assumed btw that you have a 455 Rancher, not a 544 as I've never heard of that model?
-
Is the trapping just to try and identify numbers/density or is it pest control?
-
Even if I was given a 261 I'd have still bought the husky 550xp... In my opinion, it makes no financial sense to have an inferior saw (in my opinion the husky is years ahead of the stihl) if that means downtime and running to and fro to get it fixed...

My best earning job of the year is when I go on my annual Pilgrimage to the Black Isle in November. I pick up chrismas trees that somebody else has marked, yet somebody else cut, and yet somebody else has netted. I put the tree on a pallet., for somebody else to drive off with. Repeat until there are no more trees on the ground. 3 weeks, near £6.5K. no skill required, (but you have to be strong of body and mind and fit as a fit man) no cost (well, a pair of gloves this last year)
-
Fantastic, thanks for sharing that.
-
I know you'll loose the truck part, but all the forms I know (I converted to a UK license a few years ago) do not mention anything re the "+E" bit.
-
Yes it would, but for the CPC rules that is entirely irrelevant. It is the vehicle you drive, not the train weight that matters.
-
Then whoever told you this is wrong:001_smile: If the vehicle you are driving is sub 3500kgs you do not need driver CPC regardless of what is or isn't being towed by that vehicle. Crystal clear on: https://www.gov.uk/driver-cpc-exemptions-examples

In that example, the farmer farms for a living. Taking his produce to market however is not farming, it's transport. Taking the same animals to graze the field beside the same market in the same lorry, he'd not need a CPC...
