  1. quick question to all you fencers How do you secure your end posts usually ? Do you use postcrete or wedge them in good with stones ?
  2. What would level 6 in arboriculture give you other than knowledge, that can set you apart from other tree surgeons and arborists ?
  3. palmers original waxy cream
  4. Stihl 017,018,MS 170,MS180 chainsaw carburettor carb Walbro type,new | eBay this
  5. i bought one for the 017 (almost the same as ms180) on ebay
  6. makita/dolmar i can't fault. the makita we have was bought 14 years ago, been run on regular fuel, has been stood for months at a time and has probably cut 1000's of tons of logs for us over the years. So far 2 bars and i cannot count how many chains we've used and a re-tune now and then and absolutely nothing has ever gone wrong or broken with it. Completely original from new. Amazing really.
  7. looks to me that he tied the top part of the tree to the lower part ? hard to see 100%... as the tree started falling it leveraged the tree forward (cos the rope was taught not loose to allow the tree to fall in a controlled manner) as you see then the rope snapped making the tree ping back like spring steel i guess its the lowering rig(whatever you call it) that jammed ? watch the vid in slow mo and you see what i mean
  8. i always assume this ^^ to be the case just cos its too expensive and dangerous to assume otherwise
  9. aii..... its something my dad and grandad have had and i get it after a long physical stint carrying things like posts and stuff usually numbness in the fingers are the symptoms the operation to fix it is straightforward and simple as has my dad underwent with great success, however they'll try to inject it first with steroids see if that works which never does in the long term
  10. aren't ther the 2 pacmans internal and ewxternbal shapes going from the diagram ?
  11. Jays Fluid.......mixed a little stronger than recommended on the tin....... 2 days after application and the moss and algae is gone. Brilliant stuff.
  12. yes but.... IMO Aspen is ££££ Id much rather use a 2 stroke oil with stabiliser... Am i completely deluded ?
