  1. It'll be the name on the top of the invoice, that is if they gave her an invoice
  2. Try the FCA forestry contracting association. IMO means in my opinion
  3. How did you get on with your new tyres? Thinking about getting some grippier ones for my transit
  4. Great, thanks spud. I only think it's fair to send stuff to be mended if it's clean.
  5. We had this problem where I used to work, lads would just throw any old rubbish in the back. Pushing up the chip pile with the telehandler was a pain cos you had to keep jumping out to pick out cans, bottles, rubbish, rakes, logs, road signs etc. used to drive my old boss crazy. I don't have that problem anymore as I work for myself.
  6. Hi Andrew, I'm the other side of Marlborough to you so about an hour away. Thank you for the offer but that is to far.
  7. Or you could just use a couple of dolly knots/craters hitches and a few old carabiners.
  8. Ah right. Don't worry, I washed them out with soapy water. It'll be coming to you when the bearings fail then!
  9. Best hint to drop is to knock on the door and ask for a glass of water. Then they normally say oh, would you like a cup of tea? Works everytime
  10. Dead wooded some nice pines on Wednesday tho.
  11. I'll swap, you do my hedge cutting I'll plant your trees. I like planting trees, I hate cutting hedges
  12. Put a new crank shaft seal on the clutch side of my 254xp tonight. I would have put one on the fly wheel side but when I fitted the first one it went in wonky and I had to pull it out again. I pulled them out by drilling into the seal and screwing a woodscrew and pulling with mole grips. Easy way to do it. Let's see if it runs better now
  13. Dunno, I'll try a bottle tomorrow and let you know
  14. The green stuff smells better.
  15. That is a good idea. Just need to find who has a large woodchip boiler who is close.easier said than done?
  16. It says it has a cat in the exhaust, so take that out and hey presto, more power!
  17. I think it could be the best compromise for us oldies!
  18. Little bit off topic. But every time I go and climb for my mate he bangs on about how good srt is. Although he only uses it to access the tree and then swaps to ddrt. Any way he set a Lin in an oak tree I had to reduce back from a building I pulled my rope through and was going to footlock up the 40ft. He gave me a foot assender and an assender on a bit of elastic clipped over my shoulder clipped my zig zag to my chest and up I went. Wow! How easy. This is the way forward, easy long ascents and when tou get there work ddrt
  19. I've a 32 inch waist and climb in a petzl sequoia. It's comfortable to climb in and keeps nice and tight. Unless I clip my saw right round the back which can pull it round a bit. But next harness will be a tree motion I thinks
  20. Yep, thanks Steve I found that last week
  21. I guess I'm hoping they will see my fb posts, but it just seems to be home owners with tiny drive ways who want no more than a wheel barrow full! I'll have to ring round some places I guess
  22. Yep looking for a yard. Still need to tip in the meantime
  23. I don't have my own yard to tip woodchip at. I can tip at another tree surgeons yard but it is a good 30 minute drive or more from where I normally work so I have advertised it free on the local Facebook pages. Lots of people want it but it is a pain having to stop to reply to messages and then waiting for people to get back to you. Or then getting there and people saying' oh I didn't want that much' and only tipping half of it. Does anyone else have this problem? And an answer to it?
  24. Never let the client tell you how to do things. Just agree with them, wait for them to go away them do it your own way
  25. Yes can you pressure and vac test it for me please. The reason the clutch drum is missing maybe that I might have used it for my 372 so yes it may well fit so I think it's worth trying. Thanks will
