Engelbert Strauss chainsaw trousers - ongoing review
markieg31 replied to alex_m's topic in General chat
i haVe had mine for a couple of months, in gangsta grey. i managed to tear the knee on some dog rose and it has started to frey a bit, should really sew it up. really impressed, light weight, not too hot and very functional. i ordered a 31r as i genrally take a 32 32. the waist is no probem but the leg comes up a little short and turns to a 3/4 length when i am climbing!! i have to wear them high with braces otherwise they chaf the inside of my leg. but generally impressed for the price, lightweight, durable and cool to wear. -

i know a chap who can do the chipper but comes with opperator as well. he is based on the east side of exmoor pm me if you want his number. -
blackdownboy is going to have a transit chipper for sale soon. Not sure of price but it is a double cab tipper. he is based mid devon if that be any good.

this is the reason i am in two minds about sign writting my truck. its just an advert to these types. if i got done over i dont have any money to replace what i have. i think that would be the end of my self employed adventure. although i do tend to keep my kit spread about so maybe they wouldnt clear me out entirely. allways keep my climbing kit in the house, worried about vermin trying to make a nest in my rope bag! hopefully you will be able to get yourself back on your feet and be running as normal soon.

a chap came into a shop, that i worked at some time ago, and said do you know any one that would want to buy his van. I said do you have any paimting that needs doing? he said why yes i need the front of my shop painting so he gave me the van, a seat inca 02 plate, and never came back into the shop. good trade if he came back.

you got to start somewhere. i prefer to take a punt on second hand stihl and husqvarna as i know that spares are readily available and generally the build quality is pretty good. i know a few people that had the echo top handle and said that it was pretty good.

i am thinking of getting one. how does the sizing fair up? i had a medium in the harkie smock that fitted fine

a chap i have been working for had a problem with his 441cm - new carb was fitted. first time out after it used an unbelievable amount of fuel. two or three cuts through a 21inch ash butt and the it had used a tank!!!! the dealers took it back in, it has been going to an fro with no fix.

wel most chainsaw trousers split in the crotch so it only takes a pair of crotchless panties (something both sexes could where) and you could be aiming it anywhere or using a she wee

i dont think peeing is a crime. Its easy to have a sly slash. Its the nato number two you should be worried about!!! I could not post on here my crimes against the u bend! if i was to let on i would be strung up. but i am pretty sure the roses seemed to have a renewed vigor and i have saved the council a few bob in diy pot hole repairs

i burn a large wheel barrow load of logs a day. so probably just under a cube a week i would of thought. heating a 2 bed cottage and the burner (woodwarm= excellent) in the kitchen does the hot water. used to have a real old wood burner in the living room that was brill, would heat the whole house. landlord replaced it with a small stovax and it is pants, the heat doesnt seem to leave the room. o and there is no central heating. was a bugger last year when we had all the snow.. water froze, couldn't use the log burner in living room as it was leaking smoke into next doors. couldnt use one in the kitchen as we had no water so didnt want to damage it as it has a back boiler. made for a cold and miserable couple of weeks.

i am glad to see that somebody is taking this issue seriously. You srt guys are a bunch of idiots!!! you would never catch me using a chainsaw during srt because the dangers are double that of drt!!! i also only use cambium savers made with lead rings, just watch the friction!!

i have worked for hi-line. they can be good at putting you through tickets and training. they where not so good when it came to me because i never went to the yard and didnt see the managers very often, i didnt get half the stuff i needed.. was working for a year before i had my ua1 (my team was based in taunton). there seems to be no pay scale.. you start off on what ever you can blag in the interview... you can have a real noddy on 3 quid an hour more. They do have a private team working for private clients and on the council contracts but 95% of there work is line clearance. to sum it up. The work is not to tasking, the pay was quite good (compared to other employers i had) and they supply decent ppe (you supply your saws and chains) and guaranteed work.
