  1. Hello guys Need to borrow your knowledge for a minute, please advise... Im gonna buy myself a camera i can use on my head while i do stump grinding.. Mainly i will use this recorded material to post on my facebook page i got for my company. Perhaps even post video on Youtube. I would like a camera i can record for at least a couple of hours. And it must be water proof, my budget for the video recorder is 150 £ If there is any remote control with it would be awsome ! Thanks

  7. I'm going to get a camera.
  8. Petzl TIKKA® RXP Headlamp Now thats alot better compared to the one i use at the moment. So tempted to "Add to cart"
  9. Felled trees beside life power lines for alot of years, when you get in to the swing of it its quite easy. Don't even need to double check, it just goes by itself. Never had the time for hesitation, and only twice did i fell a tree over the power lines, once i did the felling cut to small so it broke further up and took the line out. The other it was very rotten and lending quite heavy over the lines. In Sweden we do the power lines a little diffrent compared to UK. There is such an amount of trees so the work would take to long if we used special equipment or climbed them. We fell them in one go, many times we fell them so they just touch a little of the line. When cold in winter it can easy go wrong, specially on pine trees they break so easy when its below -20 .. Felling in summer is easy, back in my hay days, or even today i would not hesitate a second to fell that tree. did simular trees or harder many times daily
  10. Tree Man Tom, now that would be right down lazy
  11. Try and get involved discussions on facebook in areas you like working in, thats what i'm trying to do. A friend to me get's alot of work that way. I search on a town name, and see what groups it have, i press like.. and then i try to take part.
  12. I will try the green teeth at some point
  13. Brilliant !
  14. it's a tungsten grinder for tig welding, i took the angle grinder to open it up a little more so i could get the stump grinder teeth in there. it's a diamond wheel
  15. How do you guys sharpen your stump grinding teeth ? I add a few pics how i do it. That was the first teeth i done, so quality can only improve with time. video on https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stump-Grinding-Direct-Ltd/535977609864991
  16. There is also anti vibration gloves to get, i use them all the time if i use power tools now a days.. The vibration of tools can give me a week of even lower ability if i dont use the gloves.
  17. Female Arb Would you return the favor ? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Stump-Grinding-Direct-Ltd/535977609864991?ref=hl
  18. Mountain man, my thoughts exactly still liked the page tho lol !
  19. I'll keep that in mind, i might need a bigger bar for my Stihl saw.
  20. Some would have to pay me to get in to one !
  21. I would have had been 30 pounds if it wasn't for me being a smoker.
  22. We used Aspen in Sweden while doing power lines, and it was like night and day. Before bad head at nights, and with the Aspen it made the nights so much better. Another benefit with Aspen was the guys never made the mistake again to put in straight fuel in the power tools and burning them out in half a minute. A shame i never had any Aspen when i was 12 years old and started working in parents forest, aiming for 3 loads a week, cutting after school and up with the tractor in weekend. Could have saved me alot of bother back then if i had the Aspen.
  23. The first job i did with the grinder was beside a fence and was so near with the wheel to the fence all times, so i stood infront of the machine, not thinking the fumes points directly forward. Was a very bad experience not to be repeated, actually the picture below my name shows just that job.
  24. Thank godness for light screens and remote controlled stump grinders
