Thanks Eddy, pm sent.

Hi, has anyone got a rear handle assembly to convert the MS200t to rear handle that they would be willing to swap for money. I've looked online & made some enquiries but to no avail. Cheers

I really interesting read & great insight.

Hey treequip easy, the brake line wasn't leaking until I removed the breather pipe, yeah it should have been picked up on inspection, I didn't post this to be criticised fella just a heads up.
-
The other day I noticed my rear axle was leaking a small amount of oil, first port of call unscrew the breather hose & sure enough the hollow bolt was blocked with crap. Upon screwing the hose back onto the axle I noticed it had worn a pin hole in one of the rear brake lines not good but it's a small section to replace & easy to get to. The point I'm making is check where your air breather hoses are located move them if they are anywhere near brake lines. You can see from the pic where it has worn.

The last couple of years I have been busy all year round but that was because I took on a couple of grounds maintenance jobs managing 12 & 14 acre sites during the recession so I have a good mix of tree work, hedge & grounds maintenance.

Hi Wisewood, Just saw your work on Countryfile. Very impressive work.
-
Maybe at some point the main leader has snapped out & a secondary leader replaced it.
-
What's with the sarcasm, I only suggested a course so the op could gain some knowledge of the workings of a saw. Just trying to help.

The employer pays SSP then claims it back from the government.

Me too, but nothing as extravagant as a wall & hot tub, just a shed but got the customer to sign a disclaimer detailing we would not be responsible for any damage that may occur.

I can't tell you any more than the guys who have already posted but I would get yourself booked on a basic chainsaw course as a 441 is a powerful saw for a novice.

I didn't say it wasn't a doddle, why knacker yourself climbing when you don't have to.

Method wise a mewp would make sense if there is space for it.

Hi William, I recon 2 days, 3 staff & anywhere between £1500 - £2000. The kit you have makes a job like this easier to deal with. If you need a hand with it let me know.
-
2 grand because I don't like dealing with other people's mess & it's polite to quote when asked to. 😄
-
One man (or woman I'm not sexist) and a mattock, £200 - £250.

It doesn't matter what tyres you put on a Mazda 4x4 it won't stop in a hurry.

Hi Jon, the STT's are a little different to BFG muds, a lot less road noise, deep tread pattern like BFG's, I would say they perform just as well in the gooey stuff & cheaper. I've been using them for over a year now & can't fault them. The tread pattern is similar to an all terrain pattern but deeper like muds, the spacing between the lugs is wider like a mud tyre.

I think we've all done it at some point, always good to relocate close by & give them a chance. Don't do what I did when we had wrens nesting in the eves of our place, saw about six on the patio one morning, scooped them up put them back in the nest so the dogs didn't get them. Three times I did this until I looked on the net & read that when ready to fledge, wrens leave the nest & prepare to fly from the ground, which would account for the angry looks they gave me.

Surely that's a candidate for a carving?
-
I do like these threads on trucks & the various incarnations of chip bodies which are customised to your own set ups. The variations are impressive. I opted for a canopy myself.
-
That's a cracking job they have done. Have you thought about air bellows on the back instead of extra leafs?
-
Rye chain oil is the best I have used, seems to last longer than others. I find Oregon too thin.

I plan on doing this until I retire, currently working towards coming off the tools in the next couple of years. I'm lucky to have someone working with me I can trust whom is willing to take on the responsibility of running the jobs. There are a few people who have made the transition to wood crafts like lathe work, chainsaw carving. I know other people who moved over to machine repairs & maintenance.
