  1. Different opinion. He's probably right though. I'm sticking to one powerhead and hyperskip chain [emoji6][emoji106]
  2. Might have to do this. Thanks J [emoji106]
  3. It's one ticket with it all printed on the back. Keep it next to my drivers licence in my wallet. There's an nptc number you're supposed to be able to check with nptc. Thing is.... I used to send a photo of my ticket. Who knows who's copied it? [emoji51]
  4. Double headed milling is fine if both powerheads run at similar rpm. [emoji106]
  5. Not worth buying. But worth milling. If you like MP. I hate it. Spiky sticky...... [emoji106]
  6. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106] Might have to upgrade my "bag for life" throw line bag.
  7. I didn't know I couldn't lift it until.... [emoji23][emoji106] It's the expense of another 880. One power head with the hyperskip chain is fine. Really impressed by it. Keeps the chain speed high. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  8. Kin brilliant, well done mate. That's a proper labour of love there. Love all the details. [emoji7][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  9. Been there several times... [emoji23][emoji106]
  10. Preferably in Yorkshire or Lancashire? Please message me Thanks
  11. It's in the back garden... Through our new kitchen... [emoji23][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  12. Yes. Horizon panther mills are that much better. Everything has been upgraded, Modernised, and redesigned. It's genius, literally. If you have used a granberg or chillaskan and then use a panther mill you'll understand. I couldn't go back now. [emoji106]
  13. Can't lift it on my own. Strictly a two person job now. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  14. 5am this morning, Awoken by my excited 9 yr old daughter. The cat was freaking out and meowing solidly. The four kittens were tied in a bundle by umbilical cords and other "stuff". Half awake with a pair of nail scissors trying desperately not to trim a leg or tail as this mass of wriggling mewling kittens tries to escape. 15 near wracking minutes later all is calm. 4 happy kittens, 1 happy cat and I'm covered in blood,****, and unidentifiable "stuff". Spring is here! [emoji16][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  15. With this: Stihl ms880 powerhead, 84" GB bar .404 Oregon hyperskip chain And the 80" horizon panther mill . Cuts like a dream. [emoji106]
  16. Junk. Effing liability. Can't take it to work. Unsafe. Effing dangerous were the originals, probably killed more tree surgeons than any other Saw. And you want one which has passed NO safety tests and made from inferior materials??????? There's still plenty of 200's on the second hand market. Get a tidy one and get it refurbished by a decent mech. [emoji106]
  17. But if it is solid. It'll pay nicely. That's the gamble. And yeah you get your firewood sorted if it's not for milling. [emoji106]
  18. This. After milling a "free" log, I've been told "That would of cost me £350 to have removed". [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I've also told clients who's trunk is "still up in the garden" If it's hollow it's £200 for the fell. [emoji106]
  19. Looks knackered to me. Hope I'm wrong. [emoji106]
  20. Got down to the burr today, [emoji106]
  21. In Yorkshire every pull over, park up and country lane has black bags full of soil and crap from weed growers. They are literally everywhere. Quoted a job in the middle of nowhere a few weeks back. There was 30-50 bin bags full of weed strewn all over the embankment, piles of ducting, lamps the whole lot. W-Anchors [emoji35]
  22. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] That's a biggy. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
