Hi Does anyone know if you can sharpen blades on a stihl hs81r without removing them from the machiine and taking them apart? Thanks
-
Yes. I've got a reference no. Says quote is good for 30 days, apparently! What a load of nonsense tho. I asked an insurance co to breakdown a quote once, ie what each portion of the amount for. They couldn't tell me. I'm sure they think of a figure and double it
-
Well, the quote is good for 30 days, so a bit of investigating tomorrow and then I think I'll give it a shot. Nothing to lose really!

Just had an automatic renewal quote for my car insurance (£407.00) i won't name the company. Went on a comparison site and got a quote for £212.00 ! It's the same insurance co. !!!! Two questions, What's that all about? More practically though, can I accept the quote off the comparison site and ask them to send my NCB to themselves?!?!

Next time you're having a bad day!

No 1. Maybe passing stuff on so they are not struggling past each other. Defo a day to be climbing. Doesn't look like enough space to terminate a zip line unfortunately. The 72m crosses a road? Wouldn't trust any zip line I've ever set up to go over traffic.
-
Thanks. I didn't know if I need permission which is why I put the post up. I thought I might need to inform the rail. Since 2004 I have never done a job anywhere near a rail track and then I was working for someone.
-
Thanks. I won't be doing anything until I've had direct contact with rail network
-
I'm getting it second hand from the clients, but they said nothing required doing, but if they wanted to reduce them they could. Does that not seem right to you? Think I'm walking away from this one anyway
-
Wise words. A f***k up would certainly be one way to get their attention. As I said in the op I am quite confident that the job would go ok, nothing going track side of garden, including me. But I don't need the job and I certainly don't need to be half way through the job and be stopped. I will try and contact rail network, and if they don't respond I'll give it a miss
-
Good thinking. Pick a strike day! Shouldn't have to wait too long
-
If they ever ran on time I would?
-
Thanks. I appreciate it's impossible for anyone to give me an exact course of action. But you've pretty much answered my question in that I was looking for procedures, protocols etc. Regarding the trees, were they to be felled they would reach the track but it's not a fell, just reduction. Also forgot to mention, the clients had rail network out in the hopes that they would do the work. They said no, as they weren't there's and they posed no interference to them
-
I've been to look at a job. The client's garden backs on to a railway line. The client has a row of beech which was once a hedge to reduce. Behind the beech is their fence, 30 ft of embankment and then the tracks. I am confident I can deal with the job from the clients garden. Do I need to inform/ get permission to carry out the work. The line is low speed diesel trains (not electrfied) Thanks
-
That looks to me like 3 young lads who've been sent out and told to get the job done. With a bit of guidance from someone with experience they would've coped with that, learnt something and had a positive experience. I bet none of the people in the vid own that company. That is the person who is ultimately to blame
-
Thanks. There is someone locally. It's an old chipper though and I don't know if it's worth doing. Just trying to get an idea of prices to see if it's worth taking to them.
-
Hi Does anyone know, roughly, how much it would cost to get my chipper chute and flywheel casing shotblasted and 'repainted? Thanks
-
Tricky customer Quibbling price after emergency job, what would you do?

Please don't let him get away with it without a fight. Tell everyone what he's up to as well. If I was one of the builders I'd be giving him some too. Too many hard working people get ripped off by his type. Stand up to him and hopefully he will think twice next time. Good luck. -
Thanks everyone. Took carb off cleaned everything. Didn't replace anything. Working ok for now, carb kit ordered. Thanks
-
Thanks. I've had the needle sticking in the past and it caused similar issues. Think it may just be tired. It's an '08 and done it's fair share. Just can't put my hands on 500 quid at the min so trying to keep it going for a couple of months
-
Ha ha. Like that. Forgot to mention tho, I changed spark plug and was exactly the same! Will look into coil tho. Carb kit first as it's cheaper?
-
Ta?
-
Any ideas? Starts ok. Will idle ok. Pull the trigger and it runs for approx 20 secs and dies suddenly. Start her up again and does the same. Thought it might have been the breather. Blown and cleaned out. Same with fuel filter in tank and air filter cleaned. Problem started after a refuel, when I let it run out. (Try not to do that usually). Haven't looked at carb yet. Is that the next step? Thanks

Thanks Pete for putting me on to Gibson's. They've sorted me out. Very impressed with their service. Get this though, I've put everything back together and the top roller is going in the wrong direction on forward and reverse. How on earth have I managed that? All I can think is l manually turned the rollers to access the bolts, could this be the reason? I'm baffled (Not removed any hoses etc)
