  1. Thing that pissed me of was not working out what was stolen or being able to replace it even though I had a 9k limit on a business credit card ..and they came back again took a new stihl Ms 241 when my dad was taken ill..but its the damage they do and the police 's piss poor attitude.
  2. Has it got much lift by the time you take the cutter head out ?
  3. Keep saws in house or shed, in personal experience most time theifs only want whats easy to move on sell on and trying to replace kit is really hard ,because no one carrys much stock in .-unless your fortunate to live next door to the big sellers
  4. We had a box ,all they do is leaver the box to break the padlock , Really you want a box ressed into the door itself , but then they come along with a plasma cutter and cut the side of the container . The loss adjuster came out once and said to me he had a client that buried a shipping container, they were in and out within 5 mins . All u can do is reasonable precautions as if they want it they take it and thes nothing you can do. Also the law doesn't work in your favour they just see it as a business theft ...oh well.
  5. Things like the trees in the London parks normally managed by big tree firms . But I do recall few years ago surrey council wanting a climber / office bod and they were to oversee consultancy and tree teams ...for that they were offering 33k a year and also needed a degree to do the job too. I await the usual twats to comment . But I looked at it and thought it wasn't worth the wnk
  6. I dont know of one or ever heard of one ,have heard of crane hire companies asking for cpcs slinger/signaller from tree surgeons climbing using cranes ...how ever be aware that it gets messy especially if they want an appointed person qualification .
  7. F me ,but if you dont have a clue about excavators ,you'd be better hiring one , no problems no asset deprication, no problem if its the wrong size ... You'd probably get a decent rate for 18month Or failing that you could get someone that knows what there doing and have it done quicker
  8. Would help if u said what side of Worcester and if u have any qualifications yet ?
  9. Alot of sprockets are harder to get hold of now , due to oregon buying up alot of its rivals, so where has ud get a rim and sprocket -more found on pro or saws of a certain cc... you will find it hard to cross over chains bars ,sprockets and stuff like that . It was a tosser going from 058 to 050 recently on an echo 37cc pro saw
  10. If its anything like the backpack brushcutter its slow, massively underpowered for a fourstroke so generally shite
  11. Oh dear you'll 😃, if it really have to ...for me id rather have a quick cutter over grunt , also depends if u want a forestry saw or more geared for tree work and dismantling. One size doesn't fit all,also recently tried other saws including an echo 4310 (i think) wasn't impressed with that . I feel husqvarna have lost their way now were on the 5 series and seems to be teething faults with certain models. I'm not tied to any one brand with saws and one might be good another might be crap . But the saws I'm currently running arent available anymore , All my stihl are gone ,all of the husqvarna are gone . I'm now running older none electrics echo , but compared to today's saws there ok. And efco /oleo mac ...old school series before everything got farmed out. Efco 156 is my equivilent to the 261, and efco 4100sp /4400 for the 241 ...gave fecking horrid back ache from that . But the efco and oleo mac last series were like the husqi 2/3 series ...I'm hoping ive enough till i retire
  12. Never been keen fan of them, I'm greatful my 241cm got stolen..although a pro saw was very heavy for a 40cc saw and the 260/261cm wasn't much better
  13. Because I'm only in it for the money , .I also turned down the chance to fly around the world with trant civil engineers doing airport surfaces ,but I didnt have enough info to make that a viable option either..hate to do it then get stung with a huge tax bill. If it doesn't pay enough I'm not interested to be honest . To be also straight -I'm not keen on Oz,new zealand, usa or Canada.
  14. Finally someone who can sharpen a saw properly!
