TPOs are bullshit anyway. There's plenty of veteran Oaks left so one won't matter, and bats are basically vermin anyway. They're just one consonant away from rats.

Firewood! A tree like that should have been milled!

It's one person's experience of a saw, how can you invalidate that? Ftr my 550 was faultless for 2 years until I sold it. Still is now AFAIK.

The biggest pitfall of ported saws is the extra female attention. Spud ported a couple of mine. Since then I've contracted 4 different STDs (2 of them were AIDS) and my girlfriend left me. I'll be sending another couple of saws to him soon.

Yeah Rob. In fairness on both jobs it's was typical chain flinging stuff: tangled hawthorn and conifer. Never happened with the 150 bar though. I'll keep my eye on it. Hope it's just a coincidence as I really like the bar and chain over the Stihl equivalent otherwise.

Well a contract/freelance/climber or whatever name you want to put to it is exactly that. Someone who turns up and climbs for a firm, usually on a daily rate. They don't need their own insurance because that's the employers responsibility (excepting bona fide subcontractors, but that's not the subject of the thread). If a subby were to turn up with all kit, insurance, grounds men and van/chipper that would make them a bona fide sub contractor, not a "contract climber.

I'm a narcissistic sociopath with substance abuse issues. Pretty sure I qualify as an athlete.

I understood your point loud and clear. The fast cars, women and other risks associated with our trade are impossible to hide from...

Shouting "This one's for Koilikov" helps too

Correct, but you've entirely missed the point. It's proper cool.

His was a blank firing thing purpose built for throwlines. Think he's gone back to using ladders.

Good point Steve. As long as your equipment is running within the manufacturers intended parameters you should be fine...

Good point. If you're that worried about replacing worn kit, don't bother with LOLER...

I'd say the more you perform a task, the more experienced you get, and the less likely you are to make a silly mistake.

What second hand chipper? I'm after 3 years old, with 400 hours, and I've got £2k to spend.
