  1. Carry a separate 15mtr to 20mtr length of climbing rope with a small folding crippling hook. Throw over good strong limb and just sort out a good repelling technique
  2. Hi jon, just having a cuppa then of to my local booty,have to go early to beat the Eastern Europeons to all the good stuff:thumbup:
  3. Correct.
  4. Lucky? Holy **** I guess 2 more seconds would have made it even worse. All I can say and I mean this, if I were closer I would gladly have try'd to help in any way I could. Am sure you'll be fine. That's one reason Arbtalk is here ,to help out when this happens. All the best to you fella.
  5. Have they said if you going to be ok? Looks like muscle,tendon and nerve damage. You self employed or on the books fella?
  6. Bit harsh me thinks,it's never a nice thing when this happens but understand were your coming from and what you saying but most accidents are exactly that,(accidents) none of us go out to work thinking I know what I think I'll nearly cut my arm of today. Good work practices are all what we aim for but there is always that slplit second. We all know what I mean.
  7. Hope it's not to bad fella and hope all ok for you to resume work very soon. It's a constant danger of what we do. But never nice when it does.take care and am sure you'll be back at it before you know it.
  8. Have you got a vid of them working then?
  9. That's good info for him to decide what he wants to do.who makes them and country of origin ?
  10. Is it the one on e-bay? If yes I would say bit pricey for what it is. Not herd of the name before. You need to know how easy parts are to get ect. In my opinion I would save another £1000 of so and try and get a named chipper so you know parts are easy to get. Remember a fool and his money are soon separated. So don't be a fool and dive in without knowing about what you are buying. Saying that if you can get it for £500 below what he wants that gives you a bit of money to spend on it if it needs it. Just my advice and opinion

    Loppers

    Fiskars. If you can't fix your wolf. There're very very good. The design is great and 4'2 mtr extended.
  13. Doing my 21-08 December after 15yrs I thought bout time. Anyway had a good look around but roland has got the whole package right down to staying over which I'am for 3daysand 2 nights and a very good deal. Looking forward to it.
  14. Recording it and watching preditor
  15. That's a good way to be and like I said have been lucky. Was thinking of getting another 260 got my eye on one so see what occurs.
  16. Old 18" don't tend to use it much. Joe you are right bout kit but have never brought a brand new saw, nearly new but not from a shop. Been lucky so far. And just might look for a good reasonbley priced husky equivalent.just brought new harness so have to be next purchase.
  17. Stop it are you in the middle of entering the dark side Joe.?? Seriously though ya I understsnd what you saying. Think mite get my 390 sorted?its a pants saw but good be quite good with s bit of tweaking. What you think is it worth while p---zing about with it?
  18. A Joe I thought you were a stihl man? With that 460 hanging from your hip. Always open to new stuff and giving it a chance. Just like orange I guess. The 361 is ok not a lot really between it and 260/1 just more to throw around. And ya will have to surely get it sorted to catch up again and make it happen rather then waiting for it to.
  19. Ok fella have a good break and catch up later in the year. O ya and down at Roland Hemings 8th/9th/ & 10th December.
  20. Very funny. And if you had you Would't have brought the"Buckingham":thumbup:
  21. Nice try and ya nice saw but it'll never happen and you know how it is. It the Orange v the red.
  22. Good job he didn't let you try it orther wise been second hand and money knocked off.
  23. No way well not totally anyway. Will be getting the bat/ top handle the stihl one looks like a car vac.
  24. Ya that's correct.i must have herd it wrong when I orderdit last Monday.they said be with me a week Friday and not Friday.who did you speak to mark or Neil? How did that come up then:confused1:
  25. Ha got ya sorry thought you were saying 390 as in stihl. Sorry I got it bit wrong. Not a husqvarna user.
