  1. Day out milling some nice cedar.
  2. What's tilt? Do you mean camber? 0 degrees top plate angle gives a very smooth finish. I run standard 404 and 3/8 and Never had a chain snap.
  3. Steel or toffee? It's a hard choice Rob. [emoji848][emoji12][emoji106]
  4. Seen a lot of this. Stop traffic, drop tree, then 3 cars back some **** in a 4x4 floors it over the crown and drives off. With kids in the car too. Old lady drives up to me waving, Stops next me blocking all traffic, to ask if this will take long?????? One van driver swerved the stop/go guy then stopped under the tree we were felling!!!! Couriers..... But that video is a shocker. Revoke their licenses Sack em.
  5. 3 acres for 50k? Where is it, London? 5-10k per acre for mature hardwood in the south. Even less at auction. Semi mature softwood is worth er... Nothing for at least another 20-30 years. Have a look at johnclegg solicitors for woodlands. [emoji106]
  6. My small saw is a stihl 261, when subbing it was normally the first out the van. [emoji3] However at work we run mainly husky ground saws. 346,550,560,372,395 mainly. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Whatever you get, give it a year to get used to the power difference, then send it to spud to port it. You won't need a 70cc after that. [emoji848][emoji12][emoji106]
  7. Everything is bigger than a 171. If you're looking at medium sized wood 12"-25" then a 70cc class saw is what you'd need. Personal preference would be a stihl 460/461/462 I run a 25" bar 3/8 full chisel chain and it will cut anything up to 24" very quickly. Warning. A 70cc saw is totally different to a 171, The torque is VERY strong. Push back followed by kick back is quite scary. Just make sure your PPE matches your saw choice. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  8. That's cowboy country. Choose carefully who you work for. [emoji51]
  9. Rim sprocket or spur? Change it to .325 anyway, it'll cut faster. [emoji106]
  10. Looks flimsy. I've destroyed cheap winches before. Rather dangerous. [emoji51]
  11. Love to see a video of it in action. Electric is the way forward. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  12. Last time I was there was 92. Changed a bit since then. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  13. In sight of Alexanderplatz. in a very cool capital ?
  14. Fair enough. But go easy on the other members. (Even Vesp[emoji57]) [emoji106]
  15. You're a judgemental **** jimbo. What's your immaculate story?
  16. You're right Mark, 100%. Always phone the police first... [emoji848] Realistically though, I'm only going to keep a few hand tools and a trailer on site. The main reason is I need storage for logs and timber I cut. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  17. Very honourable advice gentlemen. [emoji106] However I'm struggling to feed my own family right now. But I've worked with enough ex military to know they're gold dust employees. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  18. I had a spare day a few months back, so I did a day with Mikes crew. Very friendly and professional, no macho crap. [emoji294]️[emoji294]️[emoji294]️[emoji294]️[emoji294]️ [emoji3][emoji106]
  19. A Dublin man sees a sign outside a Kerry farmhouse: 'Talking Dog For Sale'....He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back garden. The man sees a very nice looking Black Labrador Retriever sitting there. "Do you really talk?" He asks the dog. "Yes!" The Labrador replies. After recovering from the shock of hearing the dog talk, he man asks, "So, tell me your story!" The Labrador looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I joined the Garda. "In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world drug lords, because no one imagined that a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years, But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at Dublin airport to do some undercover security work, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals. I got married, had a few puppies, and now I've just retired!" The man is amazed. He goes back into the house and asks the Kerryman how much he wants for the dog. "Ten quid!" The owner says. "£10? But this dog is absolutely amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheaply?" "Because he's a lying cunt. He's never been out of the garden!"
  20. Wait til he's pm. Another dynastic, nepotist, eton, oxbridge, parasitic sucubus for a leader. Again. And again. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
  21. Seen quite a few different colours. Green, blue, pink, yellow. All driven expertly. [emoji848][emoji106]
