Just want to put this question out there ? i spend a lot of time looking on ebay am after a new tractor and mini digger among other kit. i am not soft and if its too good to be true it normally is. However I do messaged loads of the so called deals never had a reply yet wonder has anyone ever got a decent deal and is it just me thinking ebays getting more and more like a con man's paradise

Was once working with a tarmac planning machine taking the wearing coat off the top of a concrete road section and some numpty had put the lighting cable in the expansion joint rather than dig a trench across the concrete road section. Big bang when we hit it!!

love the fact they put it in the expansion joint top blokes lol

i dont think i even got cards for my lantra stuff

we do a lot of work for some village trusts and constantly hitting scaffold poles embedded in the stumps and trees which is a right laff !:thumbup:

When i was a young groundworker i was digging a trench for an extension on the front of a house with a machine and the top blokes from the electric board had been lazy and lay the electric cable in the flower bed along the drive massive bang puff of smoke and an naughty score in the bucket.

iam no geek when it comes to chainsaws and by no means an expert one the workings of chainsaws but i have used a ms200 that looked like it could very easy be swapped back to a top handle and stihl are pretty versatile like

.....

yes i understand that they will never see the light of day and i know my old man since hes been doing it 35 years and i think he has show his like twice but after spending a long time doing all my chainsaw and climbing qualifications and spending a few quid on it all blar blar would of been nice to have a decent ID card anyways it is what it is nice easy day stump grinding tomorrow am sure i will get over it

yer spend all that money and the cheeky sods give you stickers !

haha why didnt i think of that haha

nice one silky looks like that mite work who did them for you ? and eddy av only been qualified since june

i know it so shoddy though ? mite have to get some "fake real ones" made up and carry them and have the stickers at home in the office.

My ID cards came the other day from NPTC and there not even ID cards there stickers at the bottom of the frigging certificates what's that all about ? Anyone know if i can apply to have proper ID cards made up maybe pay for them ?! :confused1::thumbdown:

roger that will be getting one soon lets hope i dont have any pics of it sticking out the ground or out of my groundy lol

i know this is a serious thread but the guy in the red white and blue top did they spray that onto him or fire him out of a cannon into it before they left the rat cage

well i would consider 4 damaged clips on 4 different saws to be a lot one of which i have seen with my own eyes and the guy who owns it definitely does not abuse his equipment. as your man joe loggs said we work in a arduous environment and the equipment we use should stand up to a minimum standard. I.E from time to time the saw gets dropped snagged etc not on purpose this just happens. all iam intending on doing is finding out what people think befor i buy one however i may just get one bubble wrap it and baby sit it up in the tree

has anyone had an update what is happening with the 150 t have stihl fixed the problem yet ? is it a small % of the saws though normal "abuse"? i appreciate that most of you dont abuse your saws but you know what i mean

hi iam also hearing nothing but good things about the ms 150 t HOWEVER i am aware of the clip on a lot of them giving in dose anyone know if this problem has been rectified yet ?

see what i mean about entertaining them silly comments

mate speak to a guy called Richard Olley he runs Kingswood Training Services down in Shipbourne Tonbridge kent i am in the army and did my resettlement down with him hes got a good set up am up in liverpool and its worth the 4 hour drive mite be worth giving him look plus you can get work to pay for it thats what i did

ok so would you say hold off for a few months until this problem is sorted i am hearing good things about this saw its just the clip thats let it down

Dose anyone have an update on what's happening with the lanyard clips on the back of the 150 ts ?
