Forestry work in the south west?
Maxnaggle replied to Maxnaggle's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Well... Allot of those links are dead, so I'm still looking! -
Forestry work in the south west?
Maxnaggle replied to Maxnaggle's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Okay for anyone else looking, I've just found this: Forestry contractors South-west | suppliers directory | Owning a Wood | Woodlands.co.uk -
Hey all, I've done a little bit of forestry, but would like to do more. I'm struggling to find contractors to contact who are in the south west (I'm in Devon) Does anyone have any advice or contacts? Thanks in advance!

If the tree has a fairly even canopy before you start work on it, and you want to retain that shape, you can get a feel for the sort of length you are taking off, and keep that in mind if you start to get lost, I found that really helped me anyway! Also getting nice and far out on the limbs can really help you to figure out what's going on. Someone on the ground who cares about the end product can be the difference between a good day and a bad day! Hope this helps

Hi stoat! Re-organics in keynsham would be your best bet!

Hi all, I've completed a level 2 course in Arb, and really want to keep the ball rolling with a level 4. I'm based in Devon, and the closest thing I can find is the distance learning option at tree life, which starts in march. Does any one know of other venues? Ideally I would like to start sooner, and attend classroom lessons. Thanks !

Income assured is who I use - £22 a month and they pay out £250 a week after a week of you being off of work. They cover for accidents at home/work/sicknesses/mental illness/extreme sports. Thankfully I've not had to make a claim so I don't actually know what they are like to deal with. Hope this helps!

I've got about half a days worth of stump grinding coming up this Monday and will need someone to give me a hand lumping the machine about, and tidying up. The job is in Chagford, Devon. £70 for the half day, should be really easy (you'll be watching me grinding stumps most of the time!) Contact me (Max) on 07837289802

Hi spud, so far so good! Used it in some fairly thick thuja today and I think it's nearly there. Just bogs ever so slightly on pick up unless I feather the throttle, maybe to much fuel? Thanks

Nearish to Lemoges (?) Yeah they're her trees

Haha thanks for the replies guys! I saw them in Feb this year but I think I'll get some photos sent over just to be sure .. So as far as public liability goes do I send the insurance company the wine, or do I have it on stand by in case anything goes wrong?

Hey all, I've been asked to knock over a couple of Lawson for a friend of my dad's, in France. They are bordering the property, and on the other side of them is a small road and some power lines (I think they're sheithed but not sure..) Would anyone have a rough idea of what I might need (legally) to do to be able to take it on? Thanks!

Still looking for contacts in the Devon/Cornwall area!

Okay so put the original carb back on and it ran worse than ever! Woohoo!, So I took that one of and put the freshly cleaned one back on, took out the little foam bit that lives in behind the air filter, which I noticed was quite oily.. So I've left it out for now. Got the saw nice and hot and its about one turn out for the low and one for the high. It responds to the high screw being tweaked now, maybe I was being impatient this morning.. Time will tell! Going to let it cool right down and have another go.
-
Hi spud, Just put it all back together and its the same, the saw runs o.k but messing with the high screw has no effect on the way it runs. It revs out okay and can be used for cutting, but I'm pretty sure it could be running a lot better - it isn't lumpy, it just doesn't rev as high as I think it should.. The saw isn't really erratic when it does run, and the plug looks good, I don't think there is an air leak, I've had the boot off a few times and it seemed in good condition. I'm currently bypassing the accelerator pump on the old carb and will have a go with that one as well. The fuel line looks good, I'll have a look at the air filter though. Thanks!

Okay so I've taken the carb off, taken the diaphragm off and any other rubber/plastic components, removed the high and low adjustment screw's and put what was left in boiling water, to hopefully clear the main jet. Only did it this way because I couldn't find any carb cleaner :c Had a little poke about with a needle as well, When everyone else in the house wakes up I'll see if it did the trick haha

Hey all, currently on a mission to get my 200t to run properly.... Swapped the zama carb with the accelerator pump for one without, and it only responds to the low speed adjustment (left screw) turning the high speed screw does nothing to change the way the saw runs. Strangely enough it does run and rev on the low speed jet.. Just not very well.. Does anyone know how I can access the jets and clean them? Thanks!

Bump again! Subby work would be preferred as I have a few bits of my own going on. Willing to turn my hand to anything - day rate can be negotiated in this respect. Thanks!
-
Hey mate, I've got a 261 and its an absolute ripper! Keep an eye on the bearing in the clutch drum as they tend to be a weak link, though this may be sorted on the newer saws. I've not actually heard about tree jacks, though a big felling lever would help you spin the timber to get at it from both sides. Are you in the woods felling stuff on your own?

Bump!!
