  1. I have been mulling the idea that when the house build is more complete here ( not too far off ) I may see if there is interest in a bit of a camping / saw fest / beer up festival at my place. [emoji106] Sunday saws especially welcome [emoji23]
  2. Are they hot on H & S over there ? I.e you should wear chainsaw trousers , equivalent of Lola for kit etc when working professionally Or are they typically laissez faire
  3. Either way , great lid. From a safety point of view for climbing I’d say reinstate the chin strap Mick.
  4. I’d like to learn to port saws and have a Collection of working classics like bucking billy ray [emoji23] some of those old husky’s and mcCullochs he runs are great [emoji106]
  5. I use the same lid. I also like it a lot. Personally I keep the chinstrap done Up when climbing. I always thought if I had a mishap up a tree and fell the lid would probably come off my bonce before I either hit the deck or the trunk. Does yours have the gold coloured metal mesh visor. I quite like them. Easy to bend back into shape if they get squashed by other kit in the vans.
  6. It would certainly help my wallet.... I still can’t stop buying chainsaws I don’t really need.....
  7. Should think 450 / 500 ish. Better used than sold I would of thought. Decent chainsaw.
  8. I dunno mate. I think Mr Bullman needs to check some of the IP addresses , they seem to reincarnated under different names [emoji23]
  9. Must be pissed a lot, it’s not just today’s posts [emoji38]
  10. I’m not so sure , having read through some threads on here this evening sadly this forum is in part taking a nose dive. Too many clowns who nothing about Arb and seemingly don’t want to learn or listen because they know best. Which inevitably de-rails threads into bun fight. Funny sometimes but it’s kinda diluting the forum down towards Facebook levels ..
  11. The chipper in the video looks pretty woeful. Even if it is cheap. I could see it struggling on dense greenery such as conifers etc. The diameter material being fed in it in the video is pretty small. Make sure you do your homework before buying. You don’t want to be disappointed and unable to return it. [emoji106]
  12. If you think they are reputable bite their hand off at 750. Check if that’s plus VAT. It’s certainly a cheap price. Get a couple more quotes and average them out. If 750 is still way cheaper have a second think about it. Cheaper isn’t always better.
  13. Exactly that mr stubby. Exactly that.
  14. Looks like most of it’s be done for them [emoji23] Always easy to comment from a keyboard but i would definitely say a key factor in repeat business is going the extra yard to leave a job mint. In a saturated market full of tree surgeons its little details that keep customers [emoji106]
  15. Total madness. Totally unacceptable doing that to a customers garden especially when they have the kit to not to do it. A little bit more care and that garden would be left mint.
  16. Cork tree. Or as dalton correctly says , phellodendron amurense
  17. lux

    Mini digger

    Any more details on it ?
  18. Ask Santa for some track matts for Christmas...... Chuck some boards on the deck around the stump too. Makes clearing up a whole lot easier and leaves the job looking really good after you are done.
  19. Well that was a good chuckle catching up on this thread this morning. Good old keyboard slug fest [emoji23]
  20. The mafell would certainly be top choice. All track saws are a fair some of money if they aren’t a tool of your trade. In all honesty chap you could buy any of the big brands. Makita dewalt Bosch hitachi etc and they will all do a great job and exactly what you want. One important thing is look at what you have already or what you might want and invest in one brand so it’s all interchangeable and you don’t need lots of batteries and chargers. I’ve not looked at the makita 40v platform yet. That’s pretty new to the market
  21. Until you have used mafell and then wondered why you bothered with festool [emoji23]
  22. Mafell. Outstanding kit.
  23. Just picked up the demo saw from honeys. Looking forward to testing it next week. It will be available for demo again in the new year
