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. 
 

The gap should only be credit card thickness

Thanks fella, didn’t think I’d be back in a pile of bricks just yet, but winter is hard roadside. Have you started your van conversion?

 

Missed out coming your way tomorrow, mate of mine delivers garden furniture, he’s running down to the IOW tomorrow for a few days.

For the minute I’ve decided I’m finishing my old vw camper rather than side tracking on another project, it will come tho👍

Nice one eggs 👍 good luck with the new venture

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!

They can be a bunch of twats sometimes, others people reap what they sow. 

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 🤣

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?

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? 

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. 

Where are you? You might find someone local to you can help

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!

Let me clarify the thread title, I cut for one of the larger chestnut fencing suppliers in the UK and occasionally we need more people on the saws - I have placed ads for the company as I have been on here a while but on the last few occasions we have struggled to get response. I'm a realist and know the money is generally on domestic arb but where other than here and maybe Woodlots are they supposed to find cutters, any advice welcome cheers 

Where are you? 

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

That would be fine.

 

If you fell hard enough onto that setup to find a weak point,the fall would be the least of your worries.

 

 

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! ) 

More than you think based on seeing some right cluster fcuks with rigging and climbing lines crossed over the years

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. 

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

If it’s not stolen they will possibly be able to tell you the history as to why it’s like that

This thread is a good argument for the need for trailer training. 

Any trailers needing a mot test

which would also bugger up all the lot with stolen trailers! No chassis number sir? Your nicked. 

Another vote for rtec

mine is 8years old and apart from a couple of torch liners has never needed anything. It’s done 7-8 bodywork restoration jobs plus all our tree/farm stuff. 

what ever you do get one with a dial for amp settings the older ones with a high/low and a 1/2 switch are crap in comparison. 

The aa fixed my truck last year

Pops are barstards for that!
 

More importantly did any one film it?

That’s part of the body not the truck. Has the body got a makers plate on? If so try them

If you don’t do it the next man will!

I’ve given up getting hung up on it. Price strong and hope you don’t get it, if you do get it you earn well. 

unless it’s an absolute cracker of a tree then morally you have to stop but your average semi decent tree will grow back, if it didn’t we would all be out of work!
