  1. Hi joell,Ive had the same conundrum myself,ive put a swivel on my treemotion bridge and left the ring on.It just my preference and gives you the option to use the ring if the swivel isnt required. To be honest you could go both ways with this ring on or not its personal preference really. As for the ring not goin to the right,i dont quite understand your point mate:confused1:
  2. Nice lippy jon,not sure if the red does your eyes justice. Go for a rich pink...you go girl!
  3. Merry chrimbo all
  4. Buy crap item made by crap company get crap customer service. Trading standards or citizens advice id think. Next time use a reputable dealer. Hope its not an expensive lesson learned mate
  5. 800 is way over imo mate
  6. Ive seen people get work because its one of the most expensive quotes. I think some people believe the higher the quote dictates the quality of the job when thats just not the case. Perhaps its how you are presenting yourself thats costing you work. Difficult to price any job on pictures alone with no clue as to logistics,wage demands and running costs,but 2 men approx 5 hours is 400-450 job lot.
  7. Merry chrimbo to you and your family jon.Dont overdo it on the turkey and cider mate
  8. 50-60 mph gusts and heavy rain here in glasgow. On call over christmas,hope its calm!
  9. Just some quality time at home and being able to switch off for 4 days will be greatly appreciated.
  10. The wifes got a hog roast..im not quite sure as too what cut it is but i love pork.Im sure it ll be great.
  11. Rather you than me jon,its crazy out there-have fun mate:thumbup:
  12. General rule is if it sounds too good to be true then it is. That chipper looks like it should have donkey ears to me...no offence meant stefan but a better chipper would be an investment.
  13. I think to the untrained eye pollarding(in the UK anyway) is looked upon as being lazy. People expect the tree to be specifically pruned and shaped to enhance the appearance,most people are ignorant to the benefits of pollarding in some species.Just my opinion. Im just not that experienced in the tree industry yet to know if its a trend or not.
  14. Cant even picture that in my head.Whats the benefits even if its possible...?
  15. Phone round your local tree surgeons,ask if anyone is taking on staff.Be prepared to work hard and start at the bottom,its a dirty job,drag and chip brash,banksman,assist the climber etc. You might be better putting your money into driving with trailer licence and a basic chainsaw ticket than goin to college on an arb course. Obviously this advice isnt location specific but is pretty generic to anyone in your situation. Good luck
  16. My fat bird broke it
  17. Haha yeah jon but 880's dont crap all over the kitchen floor.Seriously though pigs are smart creatures,loyal and easy to train ive been told.
  18. Solenoid on the starter motor perhaps.
  19. Seriously though get your basic chainsaw ticket,spend a couple of years honing your skills becoming good groundie,then aim for the sky
  20. So how come ive got a fat bird and drive a van....? Must be a justice free zone
  21. Be careful if you buy one jon,my friend bought one for his daughter,3 months later the pig had gained 10lbs-turned out it wasnt a micro pig at all just a runt pot bellied pig.
  22. Thanks for all the advice guys.Much appreciated
  23. Is this needle bearing issue on the newer saws,ive got a 2012 261,with a spur sprocket and never had any problems
  24. Never oiled or greased mine,is it recommended to do so..?
