hmmmm.... should never file on the downward stroke.

A few weeks ago I found a used condom and a pair of my wifes knickers in my truck...............strange really as my wifes never been in my truck with me.

They are the two main differences. The pro models also have cast alloy wheels for better durability, although I note all the models now have that feature. A PRO designated model will also be eligible for a 12 month warranty irrelevant of how much work it has done- whereas the domestic machines used in a PRO environment will only have 90 days, if any at all.

Couldn't agree more. 99% of premature failures I see on commercially used machines are through pilot error, abuse and poor maintenance, and I think some of the earlier comments on here reinforce that and then the operators blame the machine. The other category of failure is due to a pro user not having a realistic budget for a mower and buying a cheaper machine that is designated for the domestic market. You simply cannot buy a commercially designated machine for under £1000 now that is of any good. Often have tightwads coming in to buy a machine for three of four hundred quid that's designed to do 1 hours work a week for 20 odd weeks of the year in a back garden, but fail on a regular basis (the Briggs classic/quattro/sprint engine fitted to entry level machines has a working life of around 100-120 hours) For a pro that could easily be 3 or 4 weeks use, but for th average joe in his back garden that is 5 years or so. It's no wonder that the things falling to bits after a month or so in a pro users hands.

no lol too slippy to hold the wood with wet errrr....I think you ought to stop now- you're making thinks worse for yourself.

.....you wear a condom when you are with your chainsaw?? That's a bit perverted isn't it?

That's not an assumption I can assure you.

Maybe some people just need to know then....or just like being nosey.

That's a bit of an assumption

I'm sure you are.

In your opinion maybe. I certainly don't need to know what persuasion my family, my customers and my friends are before I discuss anything with them.

Isn't it in the sites' and the sites' advertisers interests to create awarness to arborists who are currently unaware of its existance? Just adding WWW & CO.UK either side of the arbtalk on the rear wouldn't detract from the aesthetics of the design and IMO would look "cooler" as it would appear the wearer is privvy to the existance of a specialist website.

:thumbdown:Don't understand why the OP feels the need to ask the question in the first place- unless it was to create a reaction rather than any genuine interest. Bit sad IMO.

....hmmm I think it's the model in the pics that would swing it for him rather than the t-shirt.

Anyone who was an arborist- but not any tom dick or harry (the wider market) surely?

...why would someone in the wider market buy something with arbtalk written on it if they don't know what arbtalk is?

.....and it also helps prevent the adhesion of sap and resin etc so making it easier to keep clean and clear. As a rule of thumb, Stihl suggest that if you unscrew the grease plug and there's a "tail" of grease on the end of it when you withdraw it, then it doesn't need greasing.

Is the purpose to bring awareness of this site to people who are unaware of its existance? If so, then just an observation, but none of those designs really lend themselves to awareness of exactly what "arbtalk" is. Would it not be more effective to include the web address?

...why don't you use the one you have in the pic?

If you find you've been paying for PPI you didn't know about, it's worth investigating. But note that if you weren't actually misinformed about, or mis-sold, PPI you're unlikely to have a case, and there's little point in starting a claim without good grounds.

I use a pair of the earlier blue stihl trousers (the ones with the orange stripe down the leg) They are all round protection so quite heavy and to be honest not tight fitting. Started off with the Stihl button braces and got to the end of the adjustment on them so now use them with a belt as well. I don't climb and I only need them occasionally as Im a dealer rather than a pro user.

I agree, but I wasn't suggesting otherwise. I was pointing out the inaccuracy in the post I was quoting.

I charge £10.29 inc vat per chain irrelevant of length and pitch, with a 7 day turnaround. I don' t have any problems with that- get as many chains as I can handle.

WRONG! Her contract is with YOU and not the supplier of the plants.
