Yeah I had it on the lowest speed and seemed a little un effective turned it up a touch did the trick but seem to burn out the tool. whoops I'll pick up something else do you think a corded drill would also be too fast.

What are you using this with I just killed my die grinder with it started smoking. 🙀

Yeah cheers boys apparently just a glitch on the site rang them and got it ordered up no probs. Thank you.

I've been on the website it just says error. I'll have to try and ring them tomorrow.

Can't find anywhere in the uk to buy sandoflex. Can anyone help found an American site wanted $76 for shipping🙀

Been climbing with a Prussik 18yrs been talking about changing for the last 10yrs. I Have been seriously thinking about going for the zigzag though it's ticking a lot of boxes.

You need to remove the carb pop the little ring out and then carefully push it out from the handle you also need to open up the handle and slip off the 2 wires from the spade connectors.

Roasting here in Surrey Jon no need for the fire here. Mind you next week not looking to pretty.

Yeah I fully appreciate its not financially viable to the homeowner. Honey Brothers did at one stage do a Saturday morning course I think. I don't know as they do it anymore and it's probably too far even if they did. I think that you've got the right idea in possibly a doing a couple of days with a team or perhaps someone who does logs might be happy to show you a few straight forward cuts and to be fair yeah you prob can get everything you need to know from you tube. Afag leaflets on small tree felling and chainsaws have some good points on them. Main thing to watch out for is kickback. It's over confidence that's when it bites you. Have fun with your new toy and safe cutting.

Yes everything is Arb related there's a homeowner thread. Going off on one when I'm simply advising the bloke to get a bit of training so he doesn't cut himself and learns how to look after his investment properly. lol It's advice he didn't have to follow it through he's obviously looked into it he thinks it's not necessary that's his opinion I'm glad he looked into it he's decided most of its common sense. I'm not going to argue that out like I think he's doing something wrong that's up to him.

Oh eddy my hero God this is an Arb forum not a homeowners tool centre why don't you go work in b&q you'd be top notch.

Put your hand in your pocket go for a ms261 or the like. More robust professional saw that if looked after will last a lifetime with light use. I'd recommend getting your self on the 30/31 Nptc. Course. This will teach you the basics and show you how to maintain the saw. It maybe more expense but you will enjoy it and appreciate your own skills whilst working.

My advice would be to take on a staff member who's possibly been in the industry for a good few years and is looking to wind down on the amount of climbing that they do. We can't all climb forever and there will be some qualified guys looking for different aspects to working outside. This way you'd get the qualifications needed for you to be able to go ahead get your tickets and have good experienced guidance. Also the freelance climber would be a great way of saving some money. He would need for your company's health and safety policy to have an aerial rescued trained grounds person and this could be you. If you did all the training you would also be able use a freelancer and do the climbing yourself if you were qualified and competent. Good luck hope you get the chance to have a go.

Yes this was not what I was saying I was just saying that even when I go for a reccy climb I generally don't go alone and certainly wouldn't advise anyone with no experience to either. Thanks

You can't climb by yourself even if I go out for a reccy climb I take someone with me. It only takes one momentary mistake. Not sure what you actually do? Is it estate management is there any other staff similar to yourself?

I have a couple of outlooks on your original question and points. Firstly I think that I could go out get myself a reasonable kit and s/h top handle old 200t within the budget. So yes you could do it. Secondly I don't think that in all areas of professional tree work for tasks undertaken within your grounds that a basic cs30/31 38/39 will cut the mustard. There is a wealth of knowledge and experience you get within those numbers you are quoting paying for this tree or that tree, it's not always a straight up straight down. I'm not saying you couldn't do it but a lot of climbers have either been on the ground within the industry for at least a couple of years before they even get the chance to do some real tree work. Some get the chance earlier but that will be someone very lucky to be given the opportunity as its not always possible due to timescales on jobs etc. Wish you all the best. Possibly working for a tree company a day a week will aid you massively in competence and basic knowledge and understanding.

Just fitted a new engine to the log splitter today and new wheel bearings. Felt that temp drop today getting myself prepped up for next winter starting tomorrow. Going to go for a full split load on a Mitsubishi canter and get a new log store built. Maybe ambitious but I'm definitely not going to be cold tomorrow. Getting my 4yr old little man out with me to help he's going to sleep well before he starts in reception on Monday. Did bring a full log basket in tonight but it seems to have warmed up if anything so I haven't lit the stove fingers crossed for the Indian summer!

I'm sure if you rang http://www.Axminster.co.uk they would be able to get them. Otherwise just get them shipped over from http://www.sawnuts.com

👍👍👍👍👍

Bob king legendary American Carver is making some cool tool videos and this ones great!

We have 2 timberwolfs and I grease them once a week but they don't take much. I grease the hedge trimmers every couple of weeks again they don't take much either. Our telehandler gets a once a month greasing doesn't see much work. I worked at a bigger firm years ago with 5 teams going out I don't think it even owned a grease gun! I rarely remember blades being changed on chippers except ours maybe every 6 months lol. To be fair I joined the company from leaving school at 15 but I only stayed there 6 months had the shock of my life when started working for a company that cared!

"but a teleporter is a handy tool to handle and stack them." Now that's a toy I want! 😜😁

Its nice to hear from you Sean glad your getting a pucca chair looks the business. Hope that the pain goes soon I'm sure in 8-10 weeks when that chair arrives that'll be some great medicine. Wishing you all the best. Phil

That's a great carve mate excellent form nice saw detail and the paint work ain't to shabby either. I'm intrigued as to wether the sculptor gets that much for it. Not saying it's not worth it by any means I love it. How long did this one take? Cheers Phil

Yeah Hi Sean hope you and your family are all doing well. All the best Phil
