They are based at honey brothers. If they haven’t got what you want they will order it in for you I expect. I don’t think anyone else sells it in the uk.

I’m looking for an occasional ground worker to fill some days when extra staff are required.

Based Haslemere in Surrey.

Please message for further details.

Thanks.

I look at it the other way around. Yes cost is a critical factor in business but not when it comes to the most important factors and imo the chain is one of them. You can have as much experience and skill combined with the greatest saw but a less than sharp/durable chain makes it all pointless.
If I could notice the difference in performance then I would not bother using a cheap chain. Surely production goes down and using the 30 chains a year saving £1.5/£2 a day I think I would definately give that a miss, if not for the fact of having to sharpen them before using them alone. The more you replace the worse it gets.
 
Each to their own and I certainly wouldn't want to tell anyone how to run their business but it just seems like false economy to me.

Surely cost is irrelevant in in this situation especially as it is only a very small cost if you are running a pro saw?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I don’t really care about it cutting quicker out of the box. Chains seem to take a couple of sharpens before they start performing good anyway.
What I want to know is, does it hold an edge better? Is it easy to sharpen (hardness)?

The echo. Such a good cutting little saw. Get the carving style bar and it’s lovely for reductions and thinning as etc. You won’t use a silky again.
I’ve got plenty of stihl kit but I wouldn’t replace my echo with a 150. Not had any durability issues with mine.

The husky axe lives in my van all the time. Love it. Splits well and very well made. Perfect for on site.

Echo 2511 with the pointy carving bar and stihl chain. ms200t for bigger stuff. No need for a silky.

Can only offer a single data-point m'afraid.

Some time ago I muttered about selling my old S11a lightweight, fitted with a rover V8. Well I'm eventually getting around to it, a couple of you expressed some interest a few months back so I thought I would pop it back in the forum before auto trader etc. I have lots of pictures and details so if you require further info please just send me a message and I will answer as best I can. Cheers. 

Ok , you’re not a million miles from me. I’m based in Haslemere, Surrey and sometimes get work in between our locations. Do you want to pm me with your contact details and if I need help over that way I can sound you out in the future and see if you are free ?

Hi Shaun. You’re not too old if you’re fit and keen. It won’t be an easy transition in terms of keeping cash flow coming in as you change but I’m sure you will have planned for this.
Where abouts In Hampshire are you ?

Cheers Steve.
I will put the quote over to the customer for other works tonight. Can you pm me with an approx cost for the picus
Cheers.

I’m going to recommend a customer has a large beech tree surveyed

In the event they want it tested would you cover chiddingfold. Surrey / West Sussex border ?

Cheers

It does indeed. The juvenile/ top growth off a coast redwood is almost indistinguishable from a cryptomaria but the cones of the coast redwood are like a large alder catkin whereas the cones of the cryptomaria are like those in the photographs.
At Polecat Valley at Haslemere in Surrey there is a grove of giant redwoods - Wellies and Coast redwoods (amongst the tallest trees in surrey - there's a contour on the 2 1/2 inch O.S. map right by the side of the road where they stand and a spot-height at the junction up the hill from which, with an inclinometer, you get a 1-2 degree elevation standing on a six foot bank which makes them at least 43m or 140+ feet high) and around and about giant hemlocks and silver firs and over the hill monkey puzzlers (hindhead road outside what was olivetti is now Jamia Ahmadya; look up) and vars other, (a magnificent blue cedar totally hidden) all part of a planting from when it was part of the old Frensham Hall old estate.
I went for a walk down through there one time after a storm - the ground was littered with walnuts! - which turned out to be cones from the wellingtonia - and picked up a sprig (of juvenile coast redwood) and checked every tree looking for a cryptomaria!
Have a look in Alan Mitchell's majesterial Conifers of the British Isles, there's some pics and descriptions in there.
That sprig is still on my kitchen windowsill and still with the alder catkin like cones although brown now rather than green.
Incidently some time back now someone did a 'what is this' - I'm sure it was on here - of a large alder catkin looking coney thing, I couldn't get back to it at the time, but yep! that was a coast redwood cone.
I seem to have wandered from the point!
Happy days

The cruiser would certainly be my pick. The plus side is if it’s not the vehicle you want they hold their money very well and sell on quickly. I rate them highly.

Land cruiser Amazon v8. Brilliant wagon. Good diff lockers too. If your towing in that scenario they are a must.
Also had a 3.2 shogun. That was a bomb proof car too. Towed well. Both are ultra reliable.
Another consideration is an old Range Rover. I think L322 is the most reliable they made. Certainly way more so than a disco 4.
These are all nice and comfortable and at that budget you don’t have to precious about them in the woods so ideal. If your going off road you might as well be comfy.

Any good recommendations for a company to fabricate high sides /barn doors / roof onto an existing tipper.

Looking in the Surrey / West Sussex /Hants areas.

Boulter tippers in Basingstoke look pretty good. Anyone used them ?

Thanks in advance.

I've only used granberg so I can't compare but I would say the ratchet system for adjustment looks very handy on the panther. Rob D will be able to advise you how they compare If the build quality is good they certainly look decent.

Gents if any of you are interested in a large trailer I'm about to sell an Ifor 12x6 caged sided tipper. Fantastic condition but I have to say maybe a bit large for log deliveries but you guys know your rounds. Anyway if anyone is interested let me know and I will send further details.

Cheers

Old picture from when it was bought approx 3 years ago. Im dropping at the the garage tomorrow to get Mot'd and ready for sale. Weather is supposed to be a lot better tomorrow so will try to get more pics if its still light. 

Haslemere on the Surrey / West Sussex border. Bit of a trek I'm afraid.

Can take some over the next day or two.

Which part of Sussex ? Cheers

Slightly off topic as not land rover work related but I'm about to sell my 1968 11a lightweight. Has a 3.5 litre v8 fitted. If anyone is interested pm me on here for more details. Cheers.
