  1. Why the duplicate thread? Nice looking dog by the way Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. If somebody wanted me to work for that I wouldn't turn up, never mind late! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. The only point I was making was that it you muller one of those chains that's easily 50-60 gone from your profit. Running 12 grand worth of kit for so little doesn't add up on the face of it. Not that I know anything about milling mind Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. how much is a chain for a 48" bar? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. not full bar length, ime. Same with the 150 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Amen on that one. If anyone made a 8" 0.043 sprocket nose bar I'd be all over it. Burying the 10" bar bogs the saw in anything other than lime or pop. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Plus the 12" bandit and bobcat is kind of wasted on 1m reductions! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. By working 9 days a week, and what Steve said. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. which is entirely not the point of the thread... Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. The ethanol in fuel causes the perishable rubbers in the saw to dry out. Not such a problem when there is mix in there to prevent this, but once left dry and exposed to air the rubber can go brittle and crack. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Yeah, but I undercut everyone else at £80 a day so immobiliser booked up 9 days a week Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. I don't want it faster or reliable, just punch a hole in the fuel tank so I get more breaks. I'll pay up to £300 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Good luck mate. I recently made the jump and its hectic. If your decent and don't mind reasonable travel you'll be fine. It helps that there's a lot of self proclaimed "climbers" who aren't that productive, so its not hard to shine. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. come to think of it the 201 does use significantly less fuel. Its a pain, cos refuelling time is my chance to roll a fag in the tree. Spud, ill send my 200 to you asap! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. On the rare occasion that I put a saw away for any length of time I never empty it or run it dry. Just drain the stake fuel and refill with fresh when out comes out again. As I understand it more problems can occur from running a saw dry and storing it empty. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. take the dogs off, if you can go 3 months I'll buy you a new chain Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. can you name all members of 1D? It goes both ways mate Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Ah, is it not satire? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. That's my evening job Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. You don't... where'd you get that from? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. I'd say 50k should be the bottom limit. If a climber can earn 36k a year why would you take all that risk and time to earn just a bit more? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. with respect, I would. I presume he's got a truck, chipper, kit etc. What happens when that needs replacing? From what I've seen of business owners in this game their day is full of working, quoting, maintenance and admin. For 23k a year? All good and well having a good reputation, but having a reputation for being cheap is something I can do without. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. What? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. cheers mate, no shortage of work here. Funnily its less stressful so far too! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Looms like a job for a subby that. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
