  1. I'm about
  2. By the time you've added battery and charger the Makita is £500
  3. At 7:16
  4. Thanks, I'll give those a try first.
  5. The grease nipple on tube that sticks through the belt housing was broken at the thread in the bearing so I need to get the bearing off to try and extract the thread then replace the tube and grease nipple. Think mine's a 2011. Thanks for all the responses. It does exactly what I need and I want to look after it so trying to make sure everything's as it should be to maintain in properly.
  6. About to start fettling the new to me M300, any tips from owners re belts and bearing removals before I mess something up would be appreciated. I'm a Haynes manual mechanic rather than natural aptitude and available detail seems thin on the ground.
  7. Spam, black pudding and egg.
  8. Glengoyne 12 yr old, sudden inability to work a camera.
  9. Seen them in Wm Eyres at Brough and Sam Turners in Northallerton, shouldn't be hard to find..
  10. You might be looking for a Chapter 8 course, pick a training provider best for location and requirement chapter+8+training+courses - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM
  11. Sounds like the way to go, thanks. I'm assuming this vintage doesn't have sealed bearings but still an unexpectedly high level of greasing. .
  12. Thanks Dan, mine's a 2011 which says grease drum bearings daily, I'm thinking of using lithium but thought it best to check what works for others. Al
  13. Any Jo Beau M300 users recommend a specific grease for the bearings or other maintenance tips? I've found the blades torque setting at 60Nm through the search but not much else. The Netherlands manual I've found online seems a bit light on specifics of oils and lubes but might just be my language skills.

    Good to hear you've got somewhere sorted, hope it all works out.
  15. Tree officers round my patch still require an application for over the boundary pruning if it's protected.
  16. Looks like Lowe Maintenance in Settle is fully booked for the next couple but you could ask about cancellations. Fell and Process Medium Trees Over 380mm | Chainsaw Certification LOWE-MAINTENANCE.CO.UK Fell and process medium trees over 380mm (CS32) course today. Chainsaw certification courses run in Settle North Yorkshire on a regular basis.
  17. Haven't seen any dates coming up but give Tim Kirk's a call, over 380 often seems to be a bespoke event Felling and Processing Trees over 380mm TKFTRAINING.CO.UK The course provides the knowledge and skills required for learners to be assessed for the regulated qualification
  18. Good to hear you're fighting back and making progress against the medical odds based on Mr Average. My thoughts from from a distance based on events so far. You have the experience and you're demonstrating the determination to make the business work adapting to your capabilities as they continue to recover. I'm assuming you already took on assessment, advising customers and pricing based on site visits as well as the admin so your challenge will be largely the same as before the incident, reliable and experienced staff who you can trust to do the job to your required standard, safely and efficiently whilst you add value bringing in more work and diversify into new fields such as consultancy that can add income and value to the business. You are already making things work for you with hiring out kit. My experience post survived major trauma over 30 years ago in a previous career. Circumstances are different but may either explain some things or give food for thought as you continue your journey. The physical recovery as the leg knitted together was easier than the mental recovery which took years, though I had been banged about the head as well with memory of the incident and suppressed consciousness for 2 weeks, hopefully you haven't sustained any concussion being thrown. My key mistakes were 1. Turning down help when a colleague noticed there was something wrong, which I knew by then but was too scared of being let go from a career I loved. If help is offered please try it and if it isn't offered seek it out if you're uncomfortable rather than trying to hide it like I did. 2. Trying to get back to normal too quickly, 2 months after being released from hospital with a leg that required further surgery, no accurate memory, short or long term and expecting to perform to or close to the way I had before. Unrealistic and lead to frustration and a very short fuse. Again this was really trying to hide the problems I had and just made everything worse. 3. Just taking the cocktail of tablets I was given without considering side effects, one of them was infamous for causing short term memory issues. Not the easiest to write and I'm sure I have missed stuff that will come to me at zero daft thirty. You've got the ability and drive to make it work for you and your family, try to be honest with yourself along the way and trust others close to you to help when needed. Best of luck for the future.
  19. Is this any good? https://cdnassets.stihlusa.com/1625858305-stihl-ms-024-owners-instruction-manual.pdf Stihl 036 user manual (English - 56 pages) WWW.MANUALS.CO.UK Manual Stihl 036. View the Stihl 036 manual for free or ask your question to other Stihl 036 owners.
  20. Always had good service from them.
  21. The other qualification that get you in the door, certainly with arb don't know about forestry. is a clean driving license with +E, C1 or C will be sought after.
  22. How regularly are you watering and how much, what's their location?
  23. When you do you need to get put through to planning, most of the switchboard operators will direct you to the tree teams instead. First port of call is probably finding the council website planning portal, usually www. councilname.gov.uk/planning
  24. I bought the Hyundai, great if you can get it started but the choke is made out of cheese and doesn't (choke).
