You makes I fair chuckle Jon . Thanks !

You mean biusness ! Not far from you near Chichester .

My mate up the road ( MJ Forestry) says a bag of saw dust gives him enough hot water for a bath when he chucks one on his stove .

Mmmm . Don't see em as just got to crack on . The lumps come up next morning . Itch like buggery !
-
Nice one ! . Sorted !

I had carpel tunnel syndrome in my right hand wrist . I did not think it was due to working with saws but to do with my construction . At the time ( years ago ) I was fit , strong and quite muscley . ( Sad old git now ) I have small hands and narrow joints ( knees wrists etc ) Accentuating my once physical look . The problem is There is not enough room for the tendons and nerves to pass through the wrist area ( c. p.) and when you exert ( pump up ) there is nerve compression which leads to numbness and loss of feeling . Have the opp . I did . Day surgery . In and out . Sorted . . Wish I was young and strong again !

Not sure if its you in the pic but I would not be dragging it over to a block . Ring up what you can on the stack . You get a little avalaunch now and then but as long as you keep your eyes open you will be safe . Get all equipment as near as you can to the action , splitters , processers etc . Don't make work , minimise it where you can . Good luck bu d !

Every year at this time of year we cut several hundred yards of beach hedge . I go along on the ground with a husky single sided cutter and my buddie follows with the steps and a husky long arm cutter . I do the face up as far as I can reach and he does the what I can't and the top. What critters live in the hedge and inflict their revenge on me ? ! Not looking for a solution ( long sleeves etc etc ) just curious as who the little fellas are ?
-
Oh yea ! That pace of life would suit me , no danger . Makes " Axe Men " look a bit frantic ! I am totally envious .

Yea it has . Like you I don't like hard nosed bars . They are stellite faced but the friction is too much I recon . You can get replaceable sprocket nose bars in all sizes , pitches and gauges and assorted makes .
-
The thought that struck me was yea, get a petrol saw and that lot will be logged up by lunch time or am I not seeing it all ?
-
The one we havn't had . you know , the 2 stoke one .
-
I had a Sugihara 24" bar on a 385xp . It did not get used every day but I turned it a few times and dressed the rails once maybe . I think they are up there with Cannon . Alas the saw was stolen . Got one 50" Cannon bar on my 3120xp that should see me out !
-
The nose sprocket is shot because you greased it . All the grit and crud sticks to it . best leave them well alone I think.

Bonsied elm for me .
-
If it was parked on his property you may be covered on your/his hous contence ? Worth a try
-
Thats the right answer .
-
Yea get a stiff yard broom on yer johnson !
-
Yep a landscaper/ gardener mate uses one . Its way better than our ordinary big step ladder . Much more stable and stupidly light ! Sometimes he gives us work he can't do and if it involves tall hedges we ponce his ladder !
-
Pm spud he will know .
-
Steve your saw is a nutter ! ! ! . You will seed some strides that are an inch thick to meet H and S ! Keep pushing the envelope bud ! Love it

Nothing here , too wet still . Wheat laying flat in places.

We used to use Midland on the shoot for partridge days , three separate teams of beaters all coming from different directions about a half a mile apart and they worred well.
-
Yep got it some where . All common sense stuff I seem to recall .
-
We have one with a big chip box on it . Tips well and holds more than the old trannie . More powerful as it is a turbo . Seems more bouncy in the suspension than a trannie . The mirrors are on very long arms making it very wide it seems . constantly having to pull them in to fit through gaps but other than that its a goodun .
