  1. I don’t see the size or length makes any odds to weather skip ripping chain is better than regular ripping chain for seasoned wood but if it keeps you happy it’s 120 drive link .404 chain!
  2. Do you lot reckon a normal or skip chain is better for seasoned wood? if it’s any odds I’m looking at Oak and Mac. Cheers
  3. You not got a digger hire shop near you? Nutter! The hire rates this way wouldn’t of been much more than the boots, been done by dinner and not broke sweat!

    It will be fine for a little loader and a chipper. I’ve run as much weight over it as a little loader will carry with out leaving a mark in lawns. Beyond that I’ve run a 4x4 and 3.5t tipping trailer loaded over 6mm, it bends but won’t snap, that left a mark in grass but only a mark not a rut. I think the flex possibly helps spread the weight as it moulds to the ground. I can’t comment on weather thicker would be better or not as I’ve not tried it but can confirm the 6mm does the job well for a loader.
  8. Yes take the top out down to about 2 inch tall! All it will do by repeated topping is get wider and wider until it falls apart, the wider it gets the more material here will be and therefore the more it will cost to remove in due course. I would advise you to bite the bullet and get it gone rather than keep spending on it to potentially make it more expensive to remove in time!
  9. We only have reds over here. There is virtually no tree damage from them. It happens very occasionally if there desperate for moisture in a drought but I’ve seen 2 or 3 cases in the last 10 years, even then it’s a small inch or 2 square patch not branches striped to the point of wrecking the tree.

  11. A battery saw is a bigger initial outlay than petrol but if you will also want hedge cutter and strimmer in due course then battery kit can be a cost viable option as you can buy bare tools once you have a couple of batteries and charger. as to brand any of the main stream ones will do what you need reliably, pick the best local dealer and be faithful to them for the best price/service
  12. Evening John. It sure who your working with at the moment but Barlow was looking for a groundy/ second climber a couple of weeks back
  13. We used to use stock board as well. I made ours go further by ripping them into 3 length wise, if you put one 3rd down for each wheel you get 24ft of road from 2 sheets. The small skids will turn on a half sheet easy enough. (Cuts like butter with a circular saw) I use 6” nails through a hole at the end of each road section and 3 on each side of the turning boards to peg them down to lawns so they don’t slide about when you turn. 6mm will take a little loader no bother but struggles with a truck.
  14. RIP Chap. Some driver he was, probably doing doughnuts round the pearly gates 🤣
  15. Rustic should sell it
  16. Good evening. How do? Long time since we have had the pleasure of your positivity round here 👍
  17. Some one has really put 50p in your meter haven’t they?
  18. Sorry but that just doesn’t compute, you have quite successfully just fried my brain!🤯 you can sleep with and pretend to be who you like but you are still man or woman. 🤔
  19. I believe you can teach the next ticket (cs38 or what ever the numbers are now) but to use the saw you would be teaching 39 which needs 38 as a pre required qualification so you would be in the wrong if anything went a drift.
  20. I would say not as it wouldn’t cut on either side of the bar with a backards chain
  21. Have you got the slider underneath the stove? Our bigger Stockton (8 or 10?) has and it puts air into the back of the fire box. Makes a huge difference, pull it forward to open it. unfortunately our Stockton has all but fallen apart in 5 seasons and I won’t be buying another, low heat and poor build quality IMO
  22. True. We did a small 25m section today to fill a gap, one half in sun and half not, the half in the shade I lost 3 pleachers but none in the sun.
