Thank you all. There is some good points there both fore and against. I only run one truck now, and i alone drive it. The driver issue isnt a big one, try finding a groundie with a trailer licence to tow the chipper any way! The older lads that can most of them have there 7.5t licence any way from before the rules chamged and if the cpc isnt needed that makes it easier

Weve been thinking of upgrading our 3.5t canter to a 5.5 or poss even 7.5t so the numbers add up a bit closer to the mark on the weigh bridge Whats the true cost of going bigger? I know the cost of doing my cpc and getting a operators licence but that seems fairly straight forward so i must of missed something So what have i missed and how much does it realy cost to go bigger? Set up cost as well as day to day? Also do i need to do the cpc when driving the truck doesn't earn me money only what i fill it with once im there? Cheers for any thoughts/help

We try to stop, but it doesnt always happen. I dont mind being called any time/day in case of a genuine emergency but calls late at night or on a sun for no good reason will be rung back on the mon

exclent. thank you very much, im looking at ringing Rob D for a alaskin next week, been talking about it for a long time, its time to have a go me thinks. Ive been looking for a use for laylandi for a while Thank you for that link se7enthdevil looks handy
-
Cool, thanks. I have seen it used and knew it was a durable timber but i wasnt sure if i could work it green (Ive not got anywhere sutable to season timber but could find a home for a few benches to sit for a year for the sticky stuff to escape
-
Can laylandi be worked into benches etc green or would it twist and split into nowt but logs? I know its going to be no use untill its seasoned cause of the sap escaping and leaving sticky stuff all over you if you get within 5ft of it:laugh1: but in theroy if the bench was made green would i survive untill it dryed enough to use? Thanks in taking time to read my rambles

We have had no probs with northern arb, good service every time, spent £1500 with them today in confidence. The only prob is if you ring up they dont talk proper like us lot down ere Every one gets it wrong at times, i waited 2 months for a rope from the jones boys then to be told they didnt have any, northern arb delivered one in 36 hours Also as often as not they are cheaper than most as well, bonus

Very good, i once melted the riddle grill out of a multi fuel wood burner with blackthorn
-
dWouls the ash / birch / sycamore and maple copice in blocks? that way you get good fire wood every year and the wildlife will move from the block you just cut to the next one, if you can work out 10 blocks and work one a year you will have a decent size timber for fire wood by the time you go round for a second time. Pesonally i wold lose most of the laylandi buts that a personal opionion. they could be milled up on site to build you a tea hut etc.

We were woking on a windblown tree over a stream the other day. Had to abandon the saw boots and wear waders During the day we had a conversation wondering if anyone makes waders with saw wellies built into them? I always do this sort of work my self as i worry about sending the lads in with no protection (from a libality side )

Ive send my 540 back as "unfit for purpose" Had a call today from the dealer saying husky have sent him a new saw for me do i want it or would i rather have something else. I went for some thing else, never will i own any husky stuff again Ever!

We use a 441 on our team daily, spends most of its time with a 16" bar in which makes it light enough to swing all day with ease but its also got a 25" bar for bigger stuff. This was my main saw for every thing apart from a climbing saw for 4 years, now got a bigger one as well so it doesnt have to do the big stuff any more. Ive also used to 441 for hand cutting in the woods, can turn about 12 ton of beach (stacked as well) in a sensable day with a gallon of fuel to give you some idea how they cost to run I would recomend it, for the size it relativly light and v well balanced. One of our subbies has a 361 which is also a good saw and almost keeps up with the 441 but im not sure how big a bar it will run for your milling

Filled out, would be happy to help. never used oregon stuff due to lack of a good local oregon dealer.

Do you find it help with the CTS? I suffer from a pens and needles sensation from a old neck injury (nerve damage), thinking it could help
