  1. Sure it's not a steampunk silky?
  2. I see your point. How about WANG? We Are Not Gypsies! (& know how to target prune!)
  3. Hahaha, my stress levels are through the roof this week & that made me chuckle for the first time this week so thank you :-) I wander just how many tree hugging hippies fell trees?! But without the saplings we'd have no trees to cut, or much oxygen for that matter First thinnings can have both barrels though!
  4. Flip the chain round!
  5. Are you just nit picking now? As it's not against the law, people should have a right to hunt for food but I don't think it's right just for pleasure. At least the older ones can defend themselves or escape. Don't see it very sporting to put birds through the chipper, ya got to be some kind of moron for that! So no, not in my book because I'm trying to follow Buddhism & all life is precious.
  6. Is it a pain in the arse when the ecologist on site is making you stop work on every tree whilst they check for nesting birds? YES! Is it right to kill new borns of any species? NO (imo) Is it a shame that most people care more about money than morals? I think so!
  7. Do you know many MP's? & have bundles of cash in brown paper envelopes?...
  8. Fair play to you gents. I thought most of you were just lairy hairy arsed tree cutters but you're not, you're lairy hairy assed tree cutters with hearts of gold. Hats off to ya, ahem now if anyone's got a spare ms661 they'd like to post me ... :-)
  9. So wish it had a husky bar on it!
  10. I used to go through phones every few months, had this a year now. Regularly covered in wet saw dust, mud, rain etc. The amount of times it's had a bad enough drop would have cost 3 iPhone screens. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.catphones.com/en-gb/phones/b15q-smartphone&ved=0ahUKEwiVy5j6js_RAhVKCywKHYtsDJsQFggbMAA&usg=AFQjCNFR28faYQXZHxtkacYTOoSqxv30rg&sig2=3Y47_Bkt70mbGyLK6pTu0Q
  11. WHAT? .... you want us to join B. A. L. S. A C
  12. Agreed! :-)
  13. Because Monsanto own the patent... GLYPHOSATE OVERVIEW | GMO Free USA
  14. I can recommend these guys - https://www.fasthosts.co.uk
  15. You can prune 2 sycs that are next to each other in spring & 1 will bleed profusely, the other will just seep a bit. Doesn't seem any rhyme or reason to why one would & another wouldn't (hopefully someone will enlighten us!?) Have had 1 sycamore that died back a bit in the crown when crown lifted in spring but foliage did recover into full leaf the year after.
  16. Ace! When is the full movie out? ;-)
  17. Have only had an issue with fwd when you're going up a steepish hill from a standing start, with a full load of chip & chipper, if it's wet she'll just spin! Front wheel drive much better off road unladen. All terrain tyres do help but only on driven axle. Tip for newish transits (may work on other trucks?) if the back wheel are spinning in mud or whatever pull up handbrake 2 or 3 notches & it should reduce the slip enough for you to get traction
  18. If none of the above are viable, take us much off with ya saw, get a rotatech chain & cut as many deep cross hatched cuts to remove as much Wood as you can & fill with firelighters etc, Stoke with blower. Marshmallows are optional.
  19. Where? Over by there!
  20. To the op - is the left hand side next to someone else's property? Neighbours dispute?
  21. I lived in Malvern for 5 years & never heard that phrase in that context, however in the main Malverners are hippies so he may just have been stoned!
  22. That's the conclusion I came to & bought this - Designers and manufacturers of log splitters, log holders, wheelbarrow, water barrow. Suits my needs but I would have gone for a tow along if I had more storage space
  23. That's just dead money! If you're a tree man you need your own splitter!
  24. Don't watch that husky tosh! Here - [ame] [/ame]
  25. Aye & I don't remember Scottish weather ever warranting having a porch,
