never seen this happen before until a lad who works for me done it. we fitted a new one and that afternoon he had managed to do it again. really bizarre and unbelievable.
-
using a topper on the ground, less likely to walk with a stoop when you're 60.
-
They are a good quality waterproof jacket, though hot and sweaty to climb and work in, however which ones ar'nt. Ideal for on the stop go board
-
in reality anything over 18" is too large for a 357 imo

Poll: Who re-tunes their new saw after break-in?
Marc Lewis replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
I always thought that the factory settings were v good and that you should keep these for as long as possible. Very interesting for me to hear these views (always learning) especially from the likes of spud. Would be interested to see how mine runs with some tinkering -
I'm with you there Paul on the pfanner lid. When they are available to buy i am so gonna get one....the £165 price tag will hurt a little though i think it has to be the most comfortable lid i have ever worn. The petzl and stein's imo are not at all comfy and i think the husky balance helmets take some beating. This is certainly up there and will comply with climbing legislation.....most difficult decision now is choosing a colour!!

2 good suggestions there from stephen blair and tuttle. Or get yourself involved/employed by a large company or council with all the benefits and perks
-
That is a well coordinated job there theocus, top work mate. I was going to suggest the avant too, good strong well built machine but again quite pricey. Would fit on the back of your 130.
-
husky 254, imo still one of the best saws ever built
-
Hey Paul, if you get your spikes this week you'll be able to try them out on saturday on some nice little sections. If not i've got a spare pair you can use. Definately go with the short gaffs imo, it is rare that you will ever need the long uns.
-
I love my 088, had it ten years or so, only use it a few times a year and it never misses a beat. you won't be dissapointed. I don't find it tyring to use crosscutting, just let the saw do the work, manouevering it around however......
-
It does not cost you to have a shut down so its a no brainer for me. Make the job easier, quicker and safer
-
I've had several of most of them and would narrow it down to the ranger or hi-lux. top of the list though would definately be the hi-lux. It is strong, reliable and lovely tro drive. plenty of room for the larger driver too.....I wouldn't touch the navarra or l200 with a barge pole mate
-
All sorted for next saturday paul......hey jon, we'll be in the big lights of Hazelbury Bryan if you're up for it mate...Fantastic little local there! Place to crash too if needed mate?
-
Timber wanted in Shepton Mallet/Bath area

Hi jon, do you sell firewood in pole length (unprocessed) mate? cheers, marc:thumbup: -
the floods, the water men and a bunch of accountants....

and better farmland drainage -
beautiful!

Hey paul, if you had the work for one of those it would so pay for itself and be a whole lot of fun i reckon. Wish i had enough work for one.
-
Once in San fran then over to marin and muirwood, redwood places to visit will come naturally. Travelling these places there is so well advertised and signed that you will have no problems. As for climbing these trees i have no idea who to contact. Happy hols!!
-
Completely depends on your quality of work, what you are able to do (eg. reduce and shape a mature beech tree by 10%), speed in which you can do it without infringing on safety, able to solve any problems that may arise, area, what kit you own/offer, lead a team etc? At 23 with 2 years experience I would suggest between £80 and £120 depending on these said variables.

Hey paul, hope all is well. Are you up for coming down to Dorset on 06-10-12. Got a nice easy day lined up at a beautiful country manor type place, couple of nice little jobs. The local pub there is great and a couple of tree mates of mine live just around the corner. He carves these most amazing sculptures i'd love you to see (real quality). I have looked at train times and there is one that leaves waterloo at 0710 (imagine you can pick that up on route somewhere) and arrives at gillingham, dorset at 0916 where i can pick you up. How does that sound?
-
If you like climbing but not too high, i see you have ua tickets and line clearance you regulary don't go above 30-40'.
-
I agreed with stephen blair's post, nothing wrong with that
