millions of little ****************ing tiny spiders everywhere in every stand!! and all over my car. second that about the card-only food. smaller than previous shows i think?
-
oops, just missed the big show where you could look at loads of different boots all in one place and try them on
-
ya cant cut trees in the buff. thats just not gonna be comfortable where the sawdust gets.
-
enjoy the heat, cos before long its gonna be pissing down. put some soft padding on the sweat band.

ask buxtons if you can stick a note in their shop
-
wasnt it the PFJ?
-
or just the ones who dont mind doing that and then admitting theyve done it? i might say committed rather than sophisticated
-
its just the shape it came off the rolled up roll of wire fencing you mean? its a fair point. i need to find some duct tape strips cos the only stuff i can find comes on a round roll so i cant use it on a straight surface. 🤦♂️
-
mostly seem to have a higher feed chute than a towbehind. means lifting branches higher to load in. thats about all ive got to say about that
-
why wouldnt you just leave the pallet square and put your cage on it? why make it round? seems like hard work you dont need to do
-
i like the idea of a check-table of chip weight, but i fear it wooden work

i think youre all forgetting the amount of fuel in your truck, the kit youve left in it when you go to tip, the size of the driver, any rain falling while driving to tip (mentioned above), dirt on tires, dirt in weighbridge, and the small-mindedness of the jobsworth that pulls over a carefully driven working truck thats just trying to make a reasonable living and not zooming around the place overloaded and spilling woodchip on roundabouts. the only way to be really safe is with a half load. or lots of trips and weighing so experience can tell you almost exactly whats a 90% load. down to 0.2 of a ton could be a difference of a couple of decent branches.

these days, occifers hurty feelings probably

fill it to the nipples and tell the filth to go catch a burglar
-
yaknow what, thats the pathetic way things are. as you say the scum that are looting a shop would actually claim compo for the beating they take off shop staff and im willing to bet they would get it too
-
i just pronounced it right, will you send me my fiver now?
-
always thought it was shursay
-
thinking about it all you really need is a 201T on a 12inch and a 500i on a 25 inch between them those two will tackle just about anything
-
from the limited details it sounds like youre being had right off. minimum wage for someone thats able to use a chainsaw and chipper and hedgecut, im guessing unsupervised? im seeing the lack of tickets being a play to keep you working for them, on lower wages, cos they know you cant go somewhere else without tickets. id consider wearing waterproof trousers cos youre clearly pissing into the wind. all of this is based on assumption. question: are you felling, snedding, hedgecutting etc unsupervised and left to it? or is someone on your shoulder every time? question: have you banked enough cash to pay for the tickets yourself and put yourself in a postion to request better wages or leave? assumption: someone is advertising an apprenticeship as a way to pay someone lower wages for a more skilled job under the disguise of training, and paying full minimum wage to keep you quiet.

glad you recognise my superior position im sure you mean literal not literary and ill take a uppercase G on the name please, underling
-
oh my god is this prick still going on?
-
seems to me that most customers have in their head as "i cant be arsed, i never get round to it, so i thought id better pay someone to do a nice job, but its only a hedge so it wont cost me too much"
-
1st step, whats your closest/ best reliable dealer? stihl or husqvarna? then just get a 261 or 550 on a 16 inch bar that will tackle everything youre likely to be faced with but not be too heavy to run all day
-
depends how big 500i or 661 is my bet 500 lighter and easier to play with all day 661 more power unless you define "fat timber" as less than 20 inch
