  1. 50:1 would be a smidge less oil. Not sure about the low rev, usually it's balls out and steaming along for hours.
  2. What oil is being used?
  3. Thought that was the difference between bow saw blades I've bought. Green wood are offset and dry ones aren't.
  4. Sadly it's the same in pretty much every profession & industry, except maybe dentistry, my usual response is how much do you charge!. Usually they say how they earn XXX and then you glaze over thinking you're charging a quarter of that per hour and feeling like a mug. That's my price, they might argue but will pay it and most importantly don't ever come back!.
  5. Yeah, the government throws in next doors tree as a sweetener.
  6. Simple solution, you're worried about it. You do the paperwork and legwork, get the permission from owner and council and pay to take it down. Like a fast track system where you also get to say I'm helping a "charity". Charity must be pronounced like Smashie & Nicey.
  7. Often the real decider is the sub frame, relying on the strength of the plate is a balancing act.
  8. I'm sure one of those American types with the epoxy would give it a go.
  9. If it were me, I'd remove them and plant a hedge. It's probably already a PIA to clean up and blocks half the light out for most of the day.
  10. What are you wanting to achieve a hedge or a tree ?
  11. So you want to hire it and sharpen them ?. Chipper blades do need doing professionally, as they're a matched pair for adjusting the counter blades against, plus some argue its also a weight balancing thing too.
  12. Obviously take plenty more pictures, if I were forst I certainly wouldn't be happy with people renting a machine in that garbage condition. It's hardly an advert for encouraging sales, whilst I know they take a beating on a hire fleet. It's should atleast go out the door with a bit of bite and not have wire wrapped around the drive shaft.
  13. I hope it's not you that writes the warranty page in the manual!.
  14. It's even got a step where they've not even bothered to sharpen it properly. Plus that's not a gap it's a gorge!.
  15. Was the roller clamping them down or was it rattling around like a penny in a tin can ?. Obviously a picture would be good, but I've had slivers on a TP machine when the counter blades in the feed aren't tight enough against the blades, so it wittles instead of slices.

    The usual one is 30 days with big companies or authorities, which then miraculously changes to 30 business days. Those now attract a fu premium for dealing with them.
  17. That poor DB just rusting in the undergrowth, the Meltham boys will be tracking you down for crimes against tractors 😉.
  18. How much did the BBC/Us spunk up this year for the privilege of sending someone that can't sing live to represent "Us"?. Whilst he might be able to sing when it's recorded, every live performance is excruciating, I remember PSB at Glastonbury and it was equally dire.

    Obviously depends on the scale of the job, if it's a tens of thousands job. No deposit but a contract with penalties.
  20. I'll say 261 without any question, big enough for most things and small enough to not feel like lifting weights in the gym.
  21. Look bud, this isn't a pissing contest you want to have. Quite a few of us here have been in the firewood and farming game for longer than I care to think about. I may have many issues, daddy ones no. My general issue is the NFGiven to people that think they know better, I'm sure one of the other guys to reply works for the DNO at times.
  22. Well it's a three phase pole mounted transformer with the three cut outs on the side, possibly 11kv or greater. Sadly it's called knowing your stuff as obviously the driver wouldn't unload for a reason, or just an argumentative customer?.
  23. Damn it!, looks like it's back to the advert in the post office window. What's the phrase, know you're worth and know you're market.
  24. Is Sugar Daddy more socially acceptable because it's real world ?.
