Appreciate the advice Tom, I'll have a look at that. And IC trees.
-
Does look long, that wouldn't be an issue, I like the idea of a clutch and a heavy flywheel. Sounds like it would last till I retire (51 years old)
-
Looking around for a new chipper, I've always eschewed GM because of some bad experiences with hired machines (in the last century admittedly!) Blocked up with conny with that disc cutting system. This 220 looks the business, looking at the specs it has a nice sounding 50hp engine. Looks like a genuine step up from the old TW150 (which I won't hear a word against BTW!) Anyone got one? Want to give us a bit of feedback. Thanks in advance...
-
Brilliant, great card!
-
Fair enough, on reflection I think that recessing the top bolt so it sat flush on the top shelf would look better. (Like they said on the other thread)
-
Looks good, shame about the iron stain bottom shelf left end.
-
If the 88 or 3120 is paid for and in good nick, stick em in a corner (empty of fuel or with aspen) they'll never wear out and will pay for itself in the next 20 or so years.
-
Bizarrely I have all four of those saws. The 560 is not comparable to the 660, keep your stihls and buy the huskys. Thing is, when you really need the 880 it'll come through. Keep em all.
-
Looks like it. Nowt so queer as folk, as they say.

Hey, your only doing what you're told to do. Could you not have convinced him to bring it at least 2ft below gutter level? then you've a chance of keeping it from under the tiles. Zooming in on the roof, it probably lets water in anyway.
-
So you left it like that?
-
Did you get up in the morning, lick the road clean, get thrashed to within an inch of your life ( and thank him for the privilege) work 26 hours, come home, eat gravel for your tea.........
-
Could be any one of a number of Pinus.

Well it all went well today. It was a good way of really showing how annoyed about it without actually tearing him off a strip. Making a joke of it. He used the saw of shame all morning. In the van on the way back to the yard I said we'd do some sharpening practice at some point. Naturally (for him!) he said he could do it perfectly well already.....yeah right!
-
Nice shape on the alianthus Jay.
-
Good feeling, well done.
-
What's the difference between drop crotching and reduction? I know, I know about 250 quid!
-
Serious grinding! Good pics.
-
My letter is winging its way as we speak. (Joke, joke)

Oh it's not so bad, like I say he's great at lots of stuff. I picked up the 372, which was a light saber 10 minutes earlier, to fell a spar, suddenly couldn't cut butter. "What happened to this I say?" "I don't know" says he "one minute it was great, next I doesn't cut so good" I've noticed that in life, there are people who just deny everything. Until you prove otherwise, then just shake their heads in disbelief. My wife is a founder member!
-
They never helped for me. He's actually very engineery, fixes stuff I can't. He'll pick up the theory quick enough. Maybe just the morning with the 271!
-
Good advice (and you CornishWoodburner) I still feel he should use the saw of shame for at least a day.
-
I'm not sure staring counts as the ultimate deterrent.
-
Because in many others aspects he excels. Nobody is perfect, I doubt many people who have recently passed their CS whatever can REALLY sharpen a saw. It's just a lighthearted rant. Feel free to do one:001_smile:
-
Yes, and I'm sure he's not the only one.
