  1. i run two 620's and can tell you you won't be disappointed
  2. will be starting some construction work at some point in the near future so just seeing whats available. if anyone has any trees they might sell standing let me know and ill keep them in mind. larch would be great but would also be interested in macrocarpa, oak , red cedar, robinia etc wouldn't have a huge budget but will fell and move trunks myself, would also need reasonable access. if any tree surgeons out there want a felled trunk removed form a garden for free i might consider helping with the fell and removing the trunk myself depending on quality. i'm based in st margarets bay
  3. £120 minimum if your climbing. you could take slightly less on paye but don't accept anything under 24k a year
  4. oh i thought insurance companies had specific policies for tree work?
  5. if your using an alaskan don't you just need to be insured to use a chainsaw?
  6. looks good people make similar ovens from cobb fairly easy build
  7. sound advice guy cheers. i think i'll leave itand do my own thing
  8. ok looking at what other people are saying £200 is way to low
  9. maybe i should be asking more thinking about it
  10. if i go through alot of chain i ask the price of a new one
  11. i actually offered to go down and run the business for a month to see if it would work, but he wanted nothing to do with it he said hed rather let it sit in the shed gathering dust that have to deal with it
  12. id love to do that but i think he just wants nothing to do with it i think he'd sooner sell the equipment, its a shame though
  13. 3 new ones they have a problem with weak casing that holds the chain break and the pistons score for no reason, defo wasn't my mix as i was using the same in my stihl 260 and thats still running fine. that was a few years ago now so maybe the new ones are better. i hope you have better luck with them than i did anyway
  14. £200 a day is what i charge for an alaskan and a 880
  15. the dcs5000 is a terrible saw i went through 3 of them in 6 month when they first came out . save yourself the hassall and get something better its just going to break down again
  16. he spent big £££ on the web site i dont think hes going to budge to much on the price,
  17. cheers guys you've made me see sense
  18. what kind of money are you looking to spend to get them milled
  19. think thats good advice, if it were me id just sell the equipment and call it a day. thinking about it i could prob do better myself for less money.
  20. given me alot to think about, it may not be a good investment but i do hate to see the business go to wast
  21. he's retiring has a bad back a new born and a couple other business's
  22. it been operational 4 years but no enquires have been followed up on for 8 month
  23. i was in contact recently with a guy i used to work for looking to see if he wanted to start back into tree work. we talked about his company and after a log conversation cane to the conclusion that he wanted nothing to do with it at all and wanted to get rid of it. i asked him what price he'd take for it and after going through what he had came up with a figure of 20k. the equipment is only worth about 10k the other 10 is for the website and name. the company has not been operational since february but he gets two to three enquires a day. my main concern would be that by not taking on work or even answering these enquires people will think that the company is no longer operational (which it isn't) and this may have damaged it's reputation. i have someone who might be interested in investing with me and if he did i really wouldn't want to let him down. is there still a viable business there? cheers in advance for any advice
  24. they do a light weight bar Sugihara .3/8 .050 solid pro lightweight chainsaw bar Husqvarna mount i like sugi have them on my echos much better than huskie bars
  25. cheers for the suggestions. all look a bit big though im thinking small as possible so will fit in my climbing kit with all my ropes etc
