  1. 40 man days? Duck me, does that include travel from new York every day?
  2. Any one in need of these books? There in as new condition but been sat about a year Or 5! Never been looked at but some storage marks. currently listed on arb ass web site for £100 open to offers, happy to post.
  3. Work out your over heads per day/week once you know that your half way there, once you know you need to bring in x per day plus enough to grow, pay for repairs, have a week off in the summer etc then you look at the job and think I can do this in x number of days add the two together and your somewhere near. Also once you have a price always add at least 10% if it’s connifer as it will be 10% + bigger than you think it is 🤣
  4. There is no minimum area for a forestry barn, read the planning book. I got a 15x10m barn on 3 acre (1ha ish) of woodland
  5. Nicely done
  6. Will C

    Jokes???

  7. The 300 is a poor choice imo. It’s heavy, cumbersome with poor balance and don’t get me started on that bloody button on the side! It’s alsofar out preformed but a stihl 261 or husky 550. the 220 on the other hand is a cracking saw
  8. Round this way it’s 100 upwards for a good groundy, there is one I will happily pay climbers money to on a big rigging job, he is good at it and I don’t have to worry what’s happening on the other end of the line! Others are only just worth (on a good day) £80-£100 to drag brash, any further instructions and you can see there tiny brains explode! if you want to earn decent money turn up on time, be useful and always have your dinner and sharp saw to hand. some places would rather you use there’s others prefer you to take your own, this is usually reflected in the day rate. Another thing is to treat the company’s kit with the same respect as your own or you won’t be with them long.
  9. The gap should only be credit card thickness
  10. For the minute I’ve decided I’m finishing my old vw camper rather than side tracking on another project, it will come tho👍
  11. Nice one eggs 👍 good luck with the new venture
  12. If the flip line has no ce mark or id how are you going to get to loler tested? I wouldn’t test it, to me this says it’s junk. It may well be fit for purpose but if it can’t be tested expect your insurance company to walk away if anything goes wrong!
  13. They can be a bunch of twats sometimes, others people reap what they sow.
  14. I’m in the process of building a van, a safe box is now on the to do list! as to the possession, maybe you need a hidden box as well 🤣
  15. I didn’t think they could do drunk in charge if you were obviously making no attempt to drive ie in a camper living life?
  16. Either the blade to anvil gap is wrong and it’s catching or the drum isn’t centre in the chamber and the end is fouling on the body. Would be my fist thoughts. You won’t get any specific help until you tell us the model?
  17. I was driving a tractor and potato harvester at Brandon in Suffolk. Initially thought it was a Chris moyles wind up on the radio then it became obvious it wasn’t! I didn’t see the pictures till the next day.
  18. Where are you? You might find someone local to you can help
  19. I’m pottering clearing the barn up, could of been stump grinding but it’s wet as changed my plan! might evan get my old tractor out for a bimble to the shop!
  20. Not sure on the starter set up on them but on a lot of small engines there is a Solinoid separate to the starter, you can bypass this to see if it’s at fault. If you run the starter direct the solinoid may be faulty if the starter fails to go it could be that. have those got a pull start as well? If it will start from a pull you know it’s a starting issue if it won’t it could deeper electrical
  21. I don’t worry about the fall it’s the sudden stop at the end I don’t like the sound of - quote Fed dibnah ( I may have miss quoted but the meaning is there! )
  22. More than you think based on seeing some right cluster fcuks with rigging and climbing lines crossed over the years
  23. I can’t see it being stolen as why go to the effort to put 2 stolen machines together to make what is in effect a stolen machine just not worth the effort, my fiver is on it being legit.
  24. If it had of been tied with a ring in the centre it would have been fine to climb on in principle but he ain’t tieing my knots
