Thanks.

Used a couple of wraps round the tree today. CBAed to break out the friction device for two lumps over a cast iron fence. The sky did not fall in.

That's your double cab? Don't forget the space taken up by the rear wheel arches, you going above those to get a flat floor? You won't be able to go crazy high.
-
So how long is the back?
-
So have you figured out the dimensions?
-
Will also cost a small fortune to buy and maintain.
-
Have you calculated how much the larger box will carry? (bearing in mind you can never completely fill it up)
-
They're all a waste of money. Can't carry diddly squat. Better off with greedy boards on your 4wd.

He has no need to, he's said what he wanted to say.

I'm guessing he's nothing more to add. He's given a perspective from a dissatisfied end user in the log industry.

Shame on you, stealing work from honest principled mechanics:001_smile: (I use it all the time for everything from cutting PTO shafts to length to changing bulbs on the vehicles)

Can I charge a lawnmower battery with a car charger ?
Mick Dempsey replied to Aaron2010star's topic in Chainsaws
It'll be fine. I've done my mower battery with my car charger. 12v is 12v -
Yes I think so. Good for farmers and landscapers:001_smile:
-
Semi pro aren't they?
-
Good to hear Felix, it's a big step up from the 13hp husky mower I've got now.
-
Ahh, getcha. Get some time away from the job regularly though. It's important.
-
Word, buy new. I know I've contributed to this thread with a recommendation, but... I cannot understand this mucking about with second hand chainsaws, and/or révérence to older saws for anything but a bit of fun. If it's your living, get new.

Classic conny bashing Jonhny.

You grind away at it and it falls down, doable if time consuming.
-
Sunday working? How come?
-
The 254 was a classic.
-
Treated myself to a new (to me) 600hrs on one like this (stock photo) Purely for home use, my mission this year is to improve my grass so I need to collect.

I would say he seems like a genuine consumer, if I were a log supplier I would, at the very least, look at his gripes and wonder if any of them apply to their own supply methods.

I've pulled a few stumps out with my 1.5, lot depends on species. Leylandii quite easy, spruce, not so much. Hated doing it as well, hard on the machine I always reckoned.

Brushcutter blues
Mick Dempsey replied to the village idiot's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
S'funny you say that 'cos I've got a big Stihl brushcutter that I've had (trouble free) for 12 years. On the odd occasion I've used it commercially I've had an employee use it to clear brambles or the like whilst I'm doing something expensive like climbing trees etc. It astonishes me how they think the throttle is an off/on button and that on a "empty" sweep it still has to be flat out. Not saying that's you of course (is that you?)
