  4. A quick clip running off my little Yanmar which is on the limit for this saw , well built and comes ready to go has its not a cheap bolt together job ,I find the working height ok even though i am 6ft . I have demonstrated using it without holding the logs but really left hand should be holding and right hand pushing on handle . Note I am cutting slow for demonstrating. Only criticism I have is when cross cutting has the waste discharge chute can block up . It has handles which I shown in clip and can easily moved about . Ste Ps Jim@ spectrum plant I drink Budweiser lol

    Prices

    Charge accordingly.....if you are up to your eye balls in finance and a good outlet then hey ho £80 plus but if you have low overheads ie one man band and want to keep hold and look after a few regular customers then £40 . Just remember the more you charge the more the customer will moan about the log size etc and will go else where . Moral of the story with every job ....DONT BE GREEDY ..keeping busy 5 days week is better then 2 greedy days a week and spending time looking for work when work just flows in being Fare . Ste

  14. If I had a pound for every Husky name plate I have picked up over the years then I would be able to buy a new saw , useless ID plate that vibrate off or get ripped off . Ste
  15. I think most of us have been down the same route when starting up a business , stick with it has the first twelve 12 months can be a bit more down than up , you will gain heaps of experience then following year you should reap the rewards. . Ste
  16. Great news , oh the joys of running a business. Ste

Don't jump the gun before you start......dont waste your money doing other courses till you have plenty of ground skills before you do your climbing or else you will become one of them buffoons they chuck through courses willy Billy and haven't got a clue and freeze halfway up a tree . You can easily make a tit of yourself if not careful,crawl before you can walk has they say . Ste
