Try and get a little experience before jumping in, a lot of people like the idea but don’t cut it once they get in the industry and don’t expect to earn big money to start but avoid working for free to gain some experience. How old are you? If your young enough and got no ties look at the college courses, a couple of years and you will have a basic grounding of most parts of the job. be cautious of the 10 week (ish) fast track courses I’ve seen guys leave with a load of tickets but no clue. There prob great for someone that has done 6 months at the bottom learning what it’s all about.

When moving the last bit of any job my grandfather used to say “that’s the one with a sixpence under it”

I use a short quick draw tape sling with heat shrink on, if you get the heat shrink tight down on to the shackle and the rope wrench it removes the floppyness which does help. My rr sits just high enough it can’t contact the zigzag, probably about half the length of yours @naturarbo I notice a huge difference when the heat shrink wears, I redo it every 6months or so.

If your worried report it, if it’s nowt it’s nowt but if it’s been removed from some ones yard they will be grateful of it’s return.

A match would also reduce the bulk! A proper chipper with good blades will chip hazel no bother. Drum or disk shouldn’t matter. Don’t waste your money hiring a small home owner jobbie, you would be quicker with a pair of loppers to get it in bags.

Have a look at the good year wrangler duratrac. They are a little more money than your old ones but last well, they are a fair bit cheaper than Goodrich at.

I had forgotten about the arborella, excellent video. @RC0 are you still using your arborella or the arb trolley? Our trolley still comes out regularly and is a god send on the right job, he is called Frank (en stein). It has had no repairs apart from a couple of r clips on the wheels and the little knuckle protection bar fell off years ago never to be repaired.

I thought it was funny, but reckoned some might not, so thought I would see what everyone’s thoughts were.

PRIVATE AMBULANCE BLASTS OUT 'ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST' OUTSIDE SHANKLIN FUNERAL HOME WWW.ISLANDECHO.CO.UK Undertakers at The Co-Operative Funeral Home in Shanklin have been left red-faced after Queen’s hit 'Another One Bites the Dust' was blasted out by mistake - directly outside the... Funny or bad taste?

The air flow knobs on the burner look like Charnwood. More importantly what is the under body seal in the box for? Classic car owner?

You won’t be disappointed, cracking welders. It will also do as well as a smaller machine if you need to run it on a 13amp supply at any point just don’t crank it right up!

I’ve got a loncin engine and it’s been no bother, starts on second or 3rd pull even if it’s been left for 6 month or more. It’s got to be best part of 5 yr old and never had any maintenance past a oil change and spark plug wire brushed off and tapped on the concrete or had a combo spanner jammed in it to set the gap!

That was a bright idea 💡

It’s no surprise, the bloke is as camp as a row of tents.

@Rich Rule don’t worry your not the only one! I’ve managed to never watch startrek and don’t feel any need to start now 👍

Full time but self employed with there own insurance? When the sticky brown stuff hits the spin you thing on the ceiling your going to get well covered in it!

So most/half of the crew is unqualified? And half of what is left is only part time? Apart from the kit and stock the only other thing that holds any value is any fixed contracts that pay £x for x period of time. By selling these you are in effect subbing the contract out and this can bite you down the road of the work is not up to standard/on time etc. Check your contract carefully first and seek advice from a legal pro if your not sure. unfortunately your reputation is just, that it’s yours not mine, not Dave’s from the pub and ultimately not who ever buys your name. A limited company that can operate with you or a different director at the helm has a value but putting a value on that can be hard, I have been told some work on 10% of turnover (plus assets) to value a company that could carry on with any owner but don’t quote me on that figure. I didn’t mean to come across harsh but reality can be just that unfortunately. Edit: the climber coming from London will have no digs when you go so is next to useless to a new owner -sorry.

I would like to see the stats on the conviction rates as well before answering the question, how ever I’m leaning towards the latter answer

201 rear handle has the best power to weight ratio by a country mile. Cracking saws.

Cyder makes the world go round (along with ice cream)

40ft deep gravel? Customer must have enough coin to pay for helicopter extraction 🤐🤣

Most agricultural dealers will find you something. Be prepared to know what gear ratio you want.

I would go higher quality/hp but second hand for similar money if you can find one.

The earlier folding stein catapult was crap and didn’t last me over a year, the big shot has done me years and isn’t really showing signs of giving up. That said I can’t comment on the new stein offering on display here as I’ve not tried it.

Is copying not the highest form of flattery?
