I use a double ring one, stainless 2ton rings, so its helps ascending and can use in multiple ways including a cambium saver on small tree.

my numbers were about starting and running from zero, so if no work comes in for a month, the dent does not hurt much. the thing with high turnovers is profit - if its good, GREAT! if it knocks you for six every month.....alot of people think 'whats the point?' only a few odd words

Hitch climber pulley and standard prusik?
tuttle replied to recycledsole's topic in Rigging and roping
you can get an eye2eye off ebay for less than a tenner sometimes. -

The adverts and the marketing are doing my head in. So I had a look at a few stats, life expectancy and all that stuff. We are all most likely to get killed in a motor vehicle before the age of 60, then i'm sure we are all not going out as much, next on the list is Cancer, then heart disease, lung disease.... then after a bit some dementia or other. So with all that to look forward to, do you think we stick 2 fingers up to the 'I'm IN!' campaign and invest our money in what we think is best, like going out and holidays

The reason is this, a skip might cost £125ish or £220ish, so your in your little van...which cost £200, got your kit and a helper at £40. Price the tree, plus the costs, present your bill, customers pays, when your done....your away, with no messing or moving logs, chips or anything<< bearing mind that time is money - if (for example) your getting £75 per hour dismantling, and only £10 per hour splitting logs...your better off only dismantling and doing something else with your time. Then in your van, money in your pocket and off to the pub:thumbup:

plenty of ways to cut overheads, try leasing and not finance. sub-contract workers. hire instead of owning. use the 'zig-zag' method to change the way you work, 'when others zig, you zag' means that you change methods within your work practices to enhance productivity and cut down on time - you may not know the answer until someone else points it out....and then you may not agree....based on your rock solid 'this is how its done!' A funny one is to hire a skip for a domestic fell, and just chuck it all in - job done

Can I save a youtube vid to watch offline?
tuttle replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
be careful, you might pick up a virus from a websearch. try a forum, or look on youtube itself. you could just bookmark the vid to watch when you want. -
The trick for recovery is to leave the loop a bit slack, don't jam it tight. Also try not to set it in V-union.
-
not quite, some professional ebayers bid, so the money is spent elsewhere.

The listing has disappeared.

best speak to Barny Rubble after Thelma has cooked his dinner

looks like they got sussed from their ip, and must have been fakes, they look easy to copy considering the amount of fakes about.

they are flying out....eBay UK Item Purchase History

thats why

aload of people use transits to tow horseboxes/trailers, they are spot on.
-
please ask your dad 'how many times has he whacked his knees getting in the freelander on the door pockets?' I have driven/bought/sold, 40+ its was only the 1.8 petrol that was a 'no no'
-
just buy a swb mitsubishi shogun (old shape)pre-1990, they go on forever - £300 to £500 - never look back..
-
we have skimmed at least 10 k-series engines over the years, the skim does not cure the problems, plus you need to grind the valves and other tricks. like i said, don't buy trouble - just offer a fifty, and be happy with the tyres
-
random search...a couple of horror stories... FreeLander Head Gasket
-
only pay £50, the scrap value is about £125. the engines are the same as an mgf, prone to overheating and warping, thats the reason that its laid up. ok if you can put up with it over short distances (if it's running that is) at £200 he is pulling a blinder on you.
-
I would like to know a price too, esp. the last couple of ones.
-
thanks for the advice, I got no milling tools, only saws, seems shame sometimes, the tree is fallen and this was just one branch which had easy access, might post a pic of the full stem and see if it worth getting a crane in

I cut some well seasoned oak today, dead off the fallen tree. the one piece was small, 12" x 5ft....would that have any value? it was ready to be worked, had a nice grain, no burr.
