I believe you are right the 6 weeks start when you send the notice, but to my mind that would put the onus on you to prove you sent it on a particular date and calculate your expiration. Maybe not a huge problem to do but on the other hand if you work to the dates on the planning portal then it takes the problem away, customer can also see the date is official, so I have always just followed that path as least resistance.

There's still an engagement with the gate but not as secure because it could pop out as the biner flexes. In any case we're talking speedline kit here, nothing is anywhere near to the biner rating.

I think the TO is a bit confused, they have to either - put a TPO on - say they don't object - do nothing for 6 weeks and this means that they don't object As long as the clock for the S211 was properly ticking, eg by the date on the planning portal, I don't think they would have a leg to stand on as far as prosecution goes - but wouldn't be best for future relationship. And I personally wouldn't want to risk that on the basis of some bloke on arbtalk, I think I would clarify what basis the TO is using to ask for the application to be withdrawn.

They catch and do themselves up. Thought about unscrewing and loctite.

Bit like mine - have you been digging? No no, not me.

261 is 4.9kg, 3kW. Just saying, like.

I bought some of these, they were cheap. To be honest swaying about at the top of a leylandii on a windy day I wished I had stumped up for triple lock, screw gate are a pain in the arse. CONTRACT Steel Oval Screwgate Economy Karabiner WWW.HEIGHTEC.COM CONTRACT Steel Oval Economy Karabiner with screwgate closure. Requires two independent actions to open. Steel body with alloy barrel

Two harnesses, three ropes. Stands to reason it's got to be safer than one harness.

261 then, crankshaft is sorted now. There's not a huge amount between 261 and 550 from what I've seen, the echo 50cc is lower power but obviously has its fans.

I am pulling your leg, but that is the arb courses page.
-
I think medium durable, I've left leylandii stumps to nail fence rails to and they are still good after 7 years.
-
It was curiosity about what a ROLO course is led me to the list of arb courses. I've done all the first page except transport of animals by road - presumably you're aiming at the horse logging people?
-
Lack of data is a huge problem, I've seen similar to that 1994 chart before. Top handle saws are much more popular in the US and this accounts for all the left hand injuries, also how many older saws without chain brake were still in use then?
-
Fair enough, I can't see the tree and what I know about bracing you can write on a postcard. Could be that rollard is the right answer though, to me there's something incongruous about a bit of plastic rope in the scale of the lifetime of an oak tree. Also, I've seen a fair few braces hanging off one end whilst deadwooding around Cambridge, they seem to be fit and forget whereas evidently you need to keep going back every few years and checking, moving, replacing as the tree grows.

Qualification Info on Chainsaw mill
Dan Maynard replied to Gadgetman24's topic in Chainsaw Carving Forum
I should probably have written CS30, so basics of running a saw - cross cutting wood, sharpening, bar maintenance, saw safety features, PPE requirements, etc. Felling being CS31 less relevant. Also as Andy said you're going to cut something out of the mill at some point. -

Are you using them for work? If you're at home, crack on and do whatever you like. If at work then Puwer puts an onus on you (and your employer if applicable) to have received adequate training but doesn't say what the training should be. I would have thought it's difficult to argue that you don't need the basic chainsaw ticket to use a chainsaw mill, as far as I know there is no specific training course for milling anyway. So I'd say CS30/31 modern equivalent. -
You're right though, sounds like one to avoid if they won't agree to any reduction.

Tree 100% safe.

I take a big wheelie bin along, it's light blue so obviously mine. My trailer is much lower than a transit though, I can see would be more of a pain into a truck with it.
-
If you look at the course details it will say which certificates are pre-requisite, for example you don't need anything before to do the climb and aerial rescue, but then must hold both climbing and chainsaw tickets to do chainsaw in a tree. So yes you can collect the ground ones only, as you want to.

I know what you mean, I wondered that because the leaves look too big to be hawthorn. On the other hand they are hawthorn shape, just magnified.

Well just to update and close this thread, I was going to buy a muck truck HMax but due to engine shortages from Honda none available. So I went for the ex-demo orange one, and made some enormous greedy boards. Brilliant bit of kit. Shifted 2 tonne of wood the other day up a long garden, didn't break a sweat. Thanks all for the comments and advice.
-
I went for a 9010 which came with a bar and five chains - but they were all junk. So after buying bar, chains, sprocket, air filter, oil pump, clutch bearing, and spending time sorting it out, it's a good saw but not such a bargain as it looked. Good luck with the 661, it's probably what I should have done in the first place.

If you've got a long arm on a kombi that is more like the rough cut anyway so sort of covers that.
-
Thats a bugger. On the other hand I had a genuine JoBeau blade which cracked (not catastrophically) and they replaced the pair no question. I have stuck with genuine since.
