    From the point of view of someone who doesn't climb: the chainsaw, silky and three inch chippers.

    Whereabouts is the work? Someone on here may well be able to help with the herbicides as a good solution may be one person with a chainsaw cutting the rhododendrons and someone following on behind painting the stumps with herbicide.

    Don't worry about it

    To be honest I wasn't anticipating this thread to turn into a license explain minefield.
  5. David R Barras
    Are we in need of a separate thread explaining what you are allowed to tow with what and with what licences?

    Need a trailer with a one tonne gross weight.
  7. David R Barras
    I think I'll be sticking to a one tonne trailer for now as anything bigger will just be too awkward for my current needs. It's mostly going to get used for shifting a 100kg shredder, and having a lot of extra pay load isn't needed.

    Has anyone on here used one of the Ifor Williams eurolight trailers? I am driving a panel van so if I do need to keep anything out of the weather I can put it in there. Should say it is for carrying a small shredder with me. Will likely also be used for moving landscaping supplies to get my monies worth out of it.
  9. David R Barras
    Too big for me unfortunately as the maximum towing capacity on my is for 1000kg gross weight. Also I was looking more for suggestions as to what is best.
  10. David R Barras
    Does anyone have any suggestions for a 1 tonne trailer? I am currently considering buying one to tow with my and the towing limits for it are 1000kg with brakes and 500kg un-braked.

    Have you tried google docs?

    It sounds like a case of mishandling to get covered in that much round-up to me.

    I can understand using the money from selling the council houses to pay for new houses where they would be of more use or when not as many are needed. If I was to introduce this idea myself they would be sold at market rates to encourage the tenants to work/provide money for new council houses.

    Whereabouts in the country?

    Apparently some airlines are O.K. with saws-you just have give advance warning, disassemble them and drain of fuel.

    I once had a cleaning job where we had to clock in and out with a fingerprint scanner. It was at most a minor inconvenience and a really good way of being certain about how many hors you had done.

    Update: I am able to start earlier than October if people want me to. This is due to having some leeway as to when I finish the work I am doing during the week. Also I should say that I do have my own transport, saw ppe and I am willing to travel. Curriculum Vitae 24_02_2018.pdf

    Same stuff I use and it hasn't given my FS460 which is autotuned any problems.

    Personally I wouldn't bother with one shots due to the expense-this I why I use five litre bottles. Also if your machines run well on the Husqvarna's oil there is probably no point switching to other oil. So long as the oil you are currently using is semi or fully synthetic and you use fresh fuel you should be fine. If you do want to switch to Stihl oil try the Inverness branch of HIS. Can't comment on the Oregon oil as I've never tried it.

    Hi All, I am currently looking for forestry work from October onwards. I have CS30/31. David

    My advice: bin the bump-fed and get jetfit as it lasts longer and is easier to fix and live with especially when doing heavy work. Unless I've been missing something major the bump fed heads don't need any washers for stihl machines.

    Mobile phone for phone calls only, laptop for everything else with me. I've never found that I could make use of a smartphone for anything other than making phone calls.

    If I have the cord on the 460 to long it messes with the mtronic and causes the engine to run too fast, plus with four strands and mulches up the grass.
  24. David R Barras
    4mm is about what it can handle comfortably. The best approach with the jetfits is four strands and a suitably big machine to power it.
  25. David R Barras
    Cuts better. In a 36 cc machine I'd personally use 3/3.5mm. Jetfit heads can handle 2mm to 4mm cord.
