Isn't there something you can do on the 660s to open the oiler up more? Something about a pin that can be pushed in?
-
So you're a sole trader? You must have earned something?
-
Ltd company? Been paying yourself a wage?
-
I'd imagine quite frequently.

Do you find people often regard you as a prick?

Get your ground tickets and aerial rescue, then find a decent firm to learn the trade. If you put in the leg work with learning stuff yourself you should become competent within a few years, same as most other trades I imagine.

Bollocks. You can earn a decent living cutting trees, have a mortgage, family and spare cash too. You'll have to work hard to become a decent climber, or else get some experience and start up doing domestic jobs to do well though. Tough to earn decent coin as a groundy.

What tyres are people running on their pickups
Joe Newton replied to Rwhiteheadfirewood's topic in Arb-Trucks
That's okay, you don't have to agree! -

Cooper At3 have good road manners. It was important for me as I didn't want something that was great of road but shite on tarmac. I'll probably go for the knobbly coopers next. I reckon BFG are pretty much trading on their name nowadays -
When I was a kid we had proper child abuse!

Cos the ammo is heavily controlled?

UPDATE/CORRECTION re.'HSE Alert - Zig-zag failure'
Joe Newton replied to Stephen Arb Association's topic in Climbers talk
Sure you did, big guy. -
Ooh aren't you tough! "Usually"? How many times have you had to refuse to cooperate?
-
Yup, book me in for three days and I'm billing you for three. If I get the job done faster I can do something else for you on you with the spare day, or if you have nothing else on I'll start SRT home and get paid.

Good enough for me mate!

Why the two toppers in the basket Don? Dual wielding?!
-
What's wrong with cut and chuck? They look tiny!

Gains from a muffler mod wouldn't be measured on a tachometer. The benefits are quicker pickup and more torque, not higher rpm.

For a ground saw to run a 12" bar a 181 is a fine saw for a third of the price

Provide an acceptable scenario in which the opportunity to relay Rich's analogy would not arise or be necessary? Stop copping out with caveats like this Paul. Demonstrate to us that the AA is indeed doing everything it can to represent the sentiments of our industry, instead if hiding behind "maybe, if it comes up".

Utterly pointless saw for the money.

Some of it sticks

The cat had not been bypassed so in theory exhaust gasses won't be escaping any faster
