    There’s always an element of ‘I have one so they must be good’ But my Rayco 1635 is a very reliable powerful machine, the 25 hp one I had before was excellent also. Dont know how they compare price wise to the European machines.

    You run a saw like that from new. Of course they have to put it together for the PDI.

    Change thermal for petrol is your first job. Dan is right, just copy what the anglophone websites write, but jiggle it about a bit to avoid plagiarism.

    Can’t say fairer than that!

    Well I wouldn’t go that far! I’m no forestry faller, so I’d hesitate to use it without mechanical assistance or an obvious lean if there were high value targets in range.

    The NHS is a bit of an anachronism in that way. In France, supposedly a far more socialist leaning country, there are all sorts of extra charges and top up insurances necessary to get total medical care.

    I’d say get rid of it now and plant another one further away.

    Getting a few late ones in…

    No, you bore the hinge out, common practice.

    Hilarious alright.

    It’s from the movie Scarface starring Al Pacino. Whats funny about this?

    It’s not really about Ivy anymore for this bloke is it?

    I use my real name on the forum, I live in France, any google search will give you my address and everything else. You are anonymous. Who is the troll? You are a retired scientist, tell us about your field of expertise and how it relates to this subject.

    Ahh, I see the problem. For the record I have zero respect for your input, you have no experience, qualifications or relevant knowledge. They do give me a laugh, I’ll admit that. The Easter weekend of 2022 will always be Crazy Ivy Man weekend on Arbtalk so you’ve left your mark I suppose.

    No, it’s been knocking out 35hp since the late 90s, the turbos produce 45.

    We run a 35hp Greenmech and a 73hp Schliesing. The GM is obviously not a patch on the bigger chipper, but the GM is great on some jobs, preferable even. We took down some Douglas on Friday, everything was either under 6” or trunkwood that wouldn’t have gone through the bigger chipper anyway. Stress control kicking in all day but didn’t cost us any real time on the job.

    Just get it reduced, it’ll be fine. Be a shame to damage that fence though!

    Would they do this? They're not stupid, they wouldn’t risk prosecution for someone else’s benefit.

    Euros, it’s the currency out here!
  21. Mick Dempsey
    Of course, but the tree bloke would have to be fairly gullible.

    Finally managed to sell my 9.5. Took ages! Could not understand why it wasn’t snapped up. A market gardening company from the other side of France came and got it. Months of nothing but scammers, then 3/4 serious buyers in a week, bizarre! I have a few quid in the bank now, so I’m a dangerous man.

    No tree surgeon is going to go onto someone else’s property to reduce a hedge that the owner does not want done. Your neighbour will have to lie to the tree bloke about your permission.

    They wouldn’t have anything to knock off if the pharmaceutical companies hadn’t spent money on R&D to develop these drugs.

    While I enjoy these pics I feel you missed a trick here @KateH. Its too broad a category, and we already have work pic threads. What I believe we should have is narrower categories, like..… 1: Starting the day. 2: Training time. 3: Moment of truth. 4: Packing the gear away or whatever…. Coming from a recruitment perspective I think you’d get more staff centered pictures and it would encourage more thoughtful, funny or artistic pics, not just big trees and big gear.
