    That's a hairy bugger. Was doing likewise myself but taking 6.2s off bottom as too big to go as 4.9s, felled with 576 on 24" and sned with 560 running 15. Awful things to do and almost a fill a tree snedding the pappy ones

    Hello, I'm on scrounge for advice. I'm planning to take on couple of bodies for few days a week, one has chainsaw tickets which have lapsed, one is young guy just starting and has couple saw tickets. I'm happy to put them through tickets as things progress but want to make sure I cover everything else initially. So far I've .. - asked for quote to add employers liability to my insurance - contacted Accountax re self employed contracts For my own peace of mind I'll need to get on top of RAMS and also get books to record training. Is there anything else I need to be doing? Thanks in advance

    The old girl's had quite a bit of refurbing lately and today she danced again, took out three loads late this afternoon so happy with that. Will see how she works away for a while before I do any more refurb on her.

    Thanks Woody, that could just be the ticket. Will measure grab tomorrow.
  6. Wood wasp
    Ok thanks, will have another look on google tonight also
  7. Wood wasp
    Anyone know where I could source one of these? The kind that just clips over the grab

    The fisheries around Scotland are petrol outboards or electric if it's a reservoir

    Where do you get cartridges from Tom? Looked online and seems to be Amazon/ebay. Got a box of normal cartridges, once they're gone I'll try new system as fed up of mess

    That's a big cat. Here's the beast I got from a home, from reading this thread he's promoted to chief of security. Once had a big ginger Tom who was the ultimate hunter - pheasants and rabbits by the barrow load but also seen him with ducks, swallows, weasel, stoat, Barn Owl. Nothing was safe. .

    I think he cut it with chainsaw according to article, unfortunately you don't need to be drunk for that to happen. As for the rest of it, there's better way of getting help than jumping in car once you've got hammered.
  12. Wood wasp
    That is possible, the article gives impression though that there was reasonable amount of time between accident and the journey to hospital. If that's where he was going of course, one can never tell from such a limited report. Whole scenario is unfortunate though

    Who's tracked down the crim, the police or other sources?

    So frustrating and if stolen for scrap money then just sickening. If not someone in industry then I'm assuming they're going to burn the hoses to get rid of the rubber, keep an eye out for telltale black smoke in the area Hope you manage to get everything back up and running soon.
  16. Wood wasp
    You think that's someone in industry rather than usual thieving scum?

    Couple from the great lady: “When I'm out of politics I'm going to run a business, it'll be called rent-a-spine” "It used to be about trying to do something. Now it's about trying to be someone.” Someone on here has a good quote from Churchill in their signature: "Kites rise highest against the wind"
  18. Wood wasp
    I'm not sure exactly what you have fitted but on a rotator the hoses shouldn't really be spinning, might seem daft question but it's not on upside down is it?
  19. Wood wasp
    Are the hoses too short? I've always just had plenty length to allow for flex and spiral guard to keep them all together, never had any problems.

    We had couple of drivers who we used to give fiver/tenner... Log deck loaded, processor size next to it, oversize stacked separately. Everyone was happy and only took them an extra few minutes

    I got head torch off amazon for £15. Battery pack sits on rear of your head and is rechargeable from mains, cig lighter or USB. Very, very bright and keeps your hands free obviously, if of interest I'll post link next time I'm logged into amazon

    Is sorting it with a digger not just adding another "handle" into the process? Ie still needs another machine to come and take it to the log deck
  23. Wood wasp
    Lokomo. I actually converted it to processor unit so it doesn't travel much now

    Yes and I know Simon - I drive him nuts with my queries, the man has patience of a saint! I'll drop him a mail with pics just to be sure before I take it apart.

    Thanks BB, what you're saying re tightening from the rear ties in with what I was hoping. The wheel is driven, it's on an oscillating bogie so I can jack it up to limiter so that oil runs to other side. Many thanks for taking time to respond. Edit: not sure if chain or gear driven
