I’ll get a video tomorrow
-
A few weeks ago me and a friend were dead wooding a load of Scott’s pines. Unhelpfully someone had cut all the lower branches off for the first 15-20 metres so had to use throw lines to get a line set in the tree. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m pretty awful with a throw line. Made the weeks dead wooding harder than it needed to be. Had spent some time reading through the post below about which catapult to buy and watched a few videos on YouTube about catapults and came across a video of a guy who had built an air launcher in the states for very little money. After a bit of trawling on the internet I build this below, cost £60 in materials and about half an hour to assemble. Very easy. If anyone wants a cutting list to build it let me know.

Just bought a 450 variant which is having some work done to it. The current grinding wheel has rayco teeth fitted. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can buy a multi tip type wheel so I can fit either multi tip or rhino teeth to the machine?

Milwaukee tools are very good. Mate who runs a garage has stopped buying snapon stuff in favour of Milwaukee

I had been told by a B&S dealer locally to me that there have been a few problems with parts from B&S. They had recently got a new company to install a better software system for telling them parts production, stock, location etc... worldwide. The company who provided the new software didn’t back up the old system and the new system when it went live lost all the existing information. This meant B&S had/have no idea on current stock levels, location of parts, what was being produced etc...... I got told this happened a little while ago but they are only just getting things back to sorted now, with them back to 100% by January. Could all be rubbish but was a rumour I heard circulating

What part of Surrey?

Not timberwolf.

I went through this and ended up buying a new chipper 2 years ago to avoid break downs and down time. Unfortunately the chipper I purchased has broken down 3 times in two years, twice It’s been backed to the dealers for 5-6 weeks while they wait for parts and I’d not been offered a loan machine to while mine was being repaired. I’m now in the position where I’m half way through the finance and the machine has lost half its value so if I walk away I’ll come out with nothing. If I could rewind the clock I’d buy an older machine and get it refurbed so it’s as good as new and doesn’t have all the electronics on it.

Advice Needed: Best Type C Trousers for Climbing
tim361 replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Climbers talk
Go and try on the trousers rather than buying them in the hope they fit you well. I’ve got a pair of Pfanner arborist trousers, the gladiators are a funny cut for me and don’t fit me well at all. Really nice trousers, but the ones that fit me the best and are the most comfortable for me are the breathflex so I have a pair of those as well -
Does anyone have one of these and have any good/bad words to say about them? My current echo long reach hedge cutter is 3+ years old now, it’s getting noisier, vibes are getting worse, and like me it takes a while to get going in the morning. What battery and how many of them do you have to get through a day? Looking at making the jump to an electric long reach and keeping the petrol on hand to deal with the rough horrible stuff.

Sent you a PM

There’s this one in Sussex

Can you just get the same diameter rope but longer and run it through the zillion?
-
By chance does the 361 have a 3/4 wrap handle on it?
-
What bar sizes do people recommend to run on the above saws?

If you want it your more than welcome to it. No one else seems to want it.

Spoke to the company that assess you claim. They send you a from and you have to list every single item you are claiming for, date purchased, price paid and if you have a receipt to prove the purchase. Took about two hours to fill in looking through all my previous tax returns. On the indemnity policy’s the the reduce the values by 10% for 1-2 years, 20% for 2-3, 30% for 3-4 and its capped at a 40% reduction for machines 4+ years older. Don't know if any of this info is any use to anyone but seeing as there seems to be a constant stream of thefts it might help someone.

I’ve already discovered that despite asking for old for new replacements the broker actually did it with value adjustments so I’m not going to get back the cost of what I paid for the tools. As already said I should have actually checked my insurance. So far all seems to be going well. Aviva passed me onto a company which work out the value of my equipment stolen. I’ve got to fill in a form with what I paid for each item and a age for each item. They will then work out a depreciation on them and that is what the payment will be. Hopefully a lot of my tools not being that old I shouldn’t get burnt to badly.

Just enough to cover the postage and maybe a pint. Don’t suppose I’ll ever see my 361 again so would rather someone got some use from it.
-
I don’t know it it’s any use to anyone but I’ve got the main loop handle and element for the rear handle that came off my 361.
-
Thanks, I’ve got a lot of friends in the industry who’ve offered me use of their stuff until I can get sorted. Thankfully I’ve got a lot of fencing to get done over the next few weeks and not much tree work to be done.

Hi All. After getting cleared out the other night I need to start the process of claiming on my insurance to get my kit replaced. I got my insurance through a broker locally to me, insurance is underwritten by aviva who I think underwrite most insurances. Has anyone ever had any experience of claiming from them, how hard was it to claim, and what were like at paying out? cheers tim

I’m about 10 minutes from Hayward’s Heath in West Sussex. From what I can gather a lot of people got done on the same night in a 15 mile radius. Some blokes have pretty much lost everything.

The 200t has been ported by spud so has his sticker on top and a 14” bar with orange lanyard and a ct karabiner. The 346xp was virtually new very little wear and tear and has a 15” Sugi hara bar on it. The 361 has a brand new 3/4 wrap handle and side case with large felling spikes. Had an orange 18” bar on it (can’t remember the make) The 660 was also in virtually brand new condition. Like the 346 I had just spent a small fortune buy NOS saws.

This morning I made the unfortunate discovery that I was broken into last night. Cleared out all my saws, two blowers, and my climbing kit. I’m going to have to replace all my saws, previously I had MS150 MS200 MS260 346XP MS361 MS461 MS600 I had spent quite a while getting saws that didn’t have the electronic wizardry that I’ve not got on with. All the saws I’ve had previously with electrics have had gremlins that would mean the wouldn’t start/run right a lot of the time. So I may look at replacing the whole lot with Echo or Dolmar stuff. Any one have good or bad experiences with the stuff and can recommend certain saws I can replace the above list with? cheers all
