  2. that's awesome....... well done!
  3. Yeah, will do..... thanks for everyone's help!!
  4. i'll have to try that, i had a genuine one fitted that was about 6 months old, and the first time i went through water it happened again!!!
  5. ok, thanks for the help. when you say water how deep are you talking? the water i've been going through is hardly 2 foot deep
  6. but it does only happen after going through water
  7. OK, i'll have to get under it and sort it out! thanks

    My work

    awesome, couldn't agree more with what alfie said. keep it up!!
  11. here you go! takes up to around 12 bar max! but to be honest its a bit crazy cos you can happily fire it further than a 50 meter throw line! but if you get used to what pressure for what distance your laughing....... its really accurate as well. its made from fire sprinkler fittings which i very much you'll be able to get hold i'm afraid. let me know how you get on!!
  12. hey Ainsley, i made one of them! pretty crazy to be honest! i'll just have to find the pictures.... there was a thread on it but not sure how to find it again!!
  13. keep it up paul, whenever i'm having a bad day i just have a look at this thread!!!
  14. who would actually buy it! seriously, that poor guy that's actually brought one, i wonder how he's getting on, only place you could actually put it without falling out is between the legs!! :thumbup1:
  15. Tree Surgeon Starter Climbing Kit for Arborists 10m Safety Rope Belt Harness | eBay
  16. just copy it into google and it'll come up!! :thumbup: i was looking for a new harness
  17. i haven't used any battery gear myself but i believe silky likes his saw!!! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/lounge/47093-desperate-times-my-silky-saves-day-1225.html someone posted the other day that they only have battery gear, apart from blower...... perhaps he might speak up if u ask kindly... cant remember who it was, sorry
  18. i have a 460 with a dual port muffler which adds around .75 HP, which means its around .25 HP less than a 660!! a mate used it who has a 660 and loved the 460 and now wants one!! oh and it has heated handles! i've got 20, 25 and 30" bar for it
  19. Yep, the battery stayed in and charged! Mind you, he brought a new heavy duty one the day before!!!
  20. Easter Friday!......... any disco would of got through no problem!
  21. It's on eBay if you wanna bid! :001_tt2:
  22. Morning all, I have my Stihl Lightning Contra for sale. I brought it just after it had be rebuilt and I have only used it once for 3 cuts!! If your interested please email me: [email protected] Many thanks (for sale elsewhere so be very quick!!)
  23. the larger pipe at the bottom is 2", and then it reducers done to 1" the more air you can fit in, the more powerful it will be!! the trouble i had is that you have to make the throw bag a bit smaller otherwise it is to tight in the end! so if you can, make it 1 1/4, not sure if you can get all the bits needed though in that size trust that helps, post pictures once you've made one
  24. yeah, its good for anything, as long as you hit it!! i am an office monkey for a plumbing and heating company which also do sprinklers (but a tree monkey at weekends!:001_tt2:) its made from fire sprinkler pipe which can take about 12 bar MAX!! but only safe to 10 its just mega expensive pipe!
  25. Just thought you might be interested in this! Pump up to 10 bar (or lower) jam throw bag down, aim and fire. Happily fires throw bag 50m upright! Every time I fire it I run out of throw line! Got the idea from treestuff and made my own! :001_tt2:
