  1. How do you calibrate your mc meter? Is it correct? I had failing batteries once, Highly inacurate readings.
  2. Send it to spudulike. Probably cheaper than a decent new Saw. [emoji106]
  3. I've been on the short end of this. When I was greener, I'd take shut like that. Now you book x days you pay x days. It's in an email. Of course it's very negotiable fir the decent contractors. And yes I have ended up trimming hedges for mrs Miggins to fill up the week. Best advice is Dempsey's, Get your own thing going. Working for decent arb firms however will teach you many different ways of doing the same thing. Great experience. Where you based? [emoji106]
  4. Where abouts are you chin? There's a lot of very reputable tree surgeons on here with references. [emoji106]
  5. Phone a tree surgeon, Get a quote. [emoji106]
  6. If you're into making resin tables it would be ideal. Especially if you enjoy sharpening 48" chains.[emoji6] As BigJ said, often those bumps are bland. Doesn't look like true burr either. However in 3-4" slabs it would be rather nice. Mill it. [emoji106]
  7. How big an Elm? Burred or pippy? Might be interested [emoji106]
  8. Too expensive. A 2-3 year old 461 is about £250-400 Ideally contact your local stihl dealer and ask if he has anything second hand. I've bought over a dozen saws off eBay, all were crap. Bite the bullet and push the budget to a new Saw. Don't forget trousers, boots and helmet either. And spare chains, files..... [emoji106]
  9. Yes. But only after it's drank half your coffee [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji6][emoji106][emoji106]
  10. How much do you need? Clean ash or olive ash? [emoji106]
  11. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] If you thought being a part of the EU was bad, Wait til we owe the Chinese £25-£100 billion and we default.... [emoji848]
  12. Still looking for subby climbers and groundies. [emoji106]
  13. That's not a hospital. It's a morgue.
  14. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106] Well I've got a week of 45 degree slopes felling and dragging mature hawthorn, Over flooded rivers. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji106]
  15. Yep they knew what to get. ****'s Sympathies mate.
  16. I'm looking for a cheap 4x4 if anyone has one for sale. [emoji106]
  17. I want a tesla wood chipper... In the meantime, I'd prefer a diesel every time. More torque. [emoji106]
