  1. I have a Stihl protective one used about twice it seems top heavy to me and not very comfy, and in 40 years of using saws I (thankfully ) have never cut myself.
  2. Our tree inspector was called Rob so the odd occasion when asked we told them it had Rob rot as you say they went away happy.
  3. Which part of Cork you in the wife's father came from Cobh originally and moved to S Wales a long time ago.
  4. When I worked at Hatfield house in Herts we had loads of xmas trees pinched by the good old gypsies who had a permenent camp about half a mile away.
  5. How many of you have had off the public, why are you felling that tree it look's okay to me, we had a couple today. The photo's say it all.
  6. Go in on the 24th then home by mid morning the good old Torfaen mayor gives us half day, then back on the 2nd too.
  7. I have one 2 blade and it does make a difference in the room.
  8. Look's great all that is needed is one over the pool now to extend the use of it.
  9. A couple of tree pics and an unusual poodle moth
  10. We have had no problems with the TWs, we had an early entec in yellow then the 150 and now we have the 190 turbo which like's the diesel compared to the old 190 the only thing which is a pain is the clamp for the chute, the greenmech is a better idea as the TW gets very tight over the years.
  11. Same here as soon as I got near the cat it jumped down on it's own, another time the local fire brigade failed and we got it down in a bag and the best of all the owner of another cat cut the tree down(a 30ft poplar) and the cat ran off leaving him with a bill to replace the tree.
  12. I thought they were 110 volts over there.
  13. Do a search on this site there is a thread on it.
  14. Our new Iveco 5.5t 4x4 I was told came to around the 55k area which had the tipper body with tool box, shelving, winch and a £2000 ladder rack, I think the chassis cab was around 42-44k mark and we weighed it and it came to 3.8t with kit and two men so we can have about 1.7t on it.
  15. I find it okay nice and steady and a quick return I have split some Yew logs which made it grunt but by turning them it soon sorted them out.
  16. I did ring them and asked what was their best deal and they knocked a bit off the price.
  17. I bought the Titan pro 8 ton version £650 delivered and cant fault it, I looked at the Handy which also seemed good.
  18. We occasionally have some spare I work on the tree gang on Torfaen council.
  19. Just been clearing a large Beech blocking a road.
  20. To think how many £500 chairs made from the Ash tree's I have burnt over the years.
  21. CPC course first part from 8-4 then thought we had missed the bad weather being in a classroom all day, then a 5pm phone call to help the other council boys on flooding.
  22. Correct, should be delivered very soon.
