  1. Yep good... Scout around tho price vary quite a lot! Saturn machine knives were cheap a year or so ago!
  2. Yes probably a bit sweeping... Sorry to have offended you :-) In my experience it was ridiculous hard to block our disc bladed machines. I did find that the bigger hp engines were key though. Perhaps we were not a bunch of ham fisted clowns ;-)
  3. I managed a large company where certain employees were allowed to take vans home. As said this is a massive privilege and shouldn't be abused but it did...often. I always saw the vans in b&q on a weekend loading up with fence panels etc when the chaps were using them for there own cash jobs. The One that really sticks in my mind was when I was going to Scotland for a holiday and passed one of the vans on the motorway near Carlisle..... We were based in Gloucester!!!! He bought a motorbike on eBay and was going to collect it in Glasgow !! Didn't ask just went! He said ' i cant see what the problem is I paid for the fuel' !!
  4. ^ Sorry but your wrong... You must have been chipping some right crap to damage round blades, they last longer are cheaper and easier to change and set than any other machine I've ever owned or used in 25 years, from sasmo worm drives to present! The quad blades as far as I can see look quicker to change than the discs and seem to produce a more uniformed chip :-)
  5. You can with the Leica never used others though.
  6. New leaf tree surgery Tree musketeers All arb... That will get you to the front of yell Tree team
  7. Branch walkers were looking for staff last I heard.
  8. Tree life run the course set the criteria and asses it!! that's why I used them and I do rate them highly I've just finished the level 4 and it's a lot of work. Some have struggled to keep up with the work load alongside there jobs. For me having that day a fortnight in the class room was invaluable. Correspondence courses seem to have quite a high failure rate and keeping motivated at home is always hard after a big day! Well it is for me anyway:-) Good luck
  9. Was fun.. I sectioned it to about 50ft in freezing fog.. Ropes, branches and me was getting covered in layers of ice as the wind blew in. So I braced it around the union with a big ratchet strap just for peace of mind when gobbing her out, stuck the tirfor on it and dropped the stem. She split on the union when it landed snapping the ratchet strap but it had done its job. The majority of the stem is still in situ as the homeowner liked the look of it... Artistic apparently!!
  10. Got my Leica D8 on eBay with tripod for £200.... Bargain
  11. Looks interesting... Will wait till it works with visa tho
  12. I used to run a 880 with an Alaskan mill and you would have to try very hard to catch your trousers. As everyone else has said use what you've got.
  13. I use a Leica disto D8. Nice and handy. See you tube
