Tree monkey 1682

Get a wragg, decent built

It was new ish but out of warranty, like I said he'd not take stuff out of service to get things fixed and often would lie.. Yet would happily go around in a new car (evo) I'd do the same again if needed. I do climb (and still do) hence the whole question about overhauling or scrapping. I was able to carry on doing the dismantle up the tree with a 42 13" bar.. As far as I'm aware employed people don't provide there own saws.. By chance took one of my saws that day. Hope this has cleared things up smart arse. The owner of the company was a hunt.... I mean would you send your teams out with domestic saws, day in day out?

I have three or four, but if your employed why should I be using my tools on an employed job? I ended up taking my h42 and finishing the job... That way after chucking the saw on the pad. The best bit is I knew what he was charging, but he'd never invest in new equipment. I see things in black and white... Nice and clear cut

It was sent out for dismantling/section felling mature trees and doing mega awkward work around lv, hv work.. And crane jobs. It would run, cut out, fling chain around, die, not start or die halfway through cuts, it'd stall. I'd had enough with being lied to and shaved costs whilst the boss ran an expensive evo....

And what would you rather, the was nothing around in the darkest depths of Dorset bar a conifer and a concrete slab below it... Would you rather I knocked on your partners door and said sorry Gary had a fatal accident due to a faulty saw up a tree today or lob it onto concrete and it's broken beyond repair...? Just because my boss didn't, wouldn't or lied to me about the state of that saw.... By the nature of the work its dangerous let alone bosses running faulty equipment to shave or save money. Call it pre maddona, call it what you will but it got the result.... No one could use, repair or do anything with that saw it was out of service pernermently. End of

I was told it was fixed, simple. No one else could ever use it. Non of the people I've had in gangs or worked around have had an incident. I'm 39 first placement was 13, first used a chainsaw at ten. I've done very discipline of arb work, I've never employed stoners or coke head s which I know is rife in this industry. You don't know me, so don't judge it or the environment or the site I was on. And if you have nothing to say useful don't say it.

Have you ever worked for me? That incident was after a boss wouldn't fix a saw after I took it out of service, due to it causing a near miss with a different climber and team. I didn't have an option or would you rather the would have been a fatality and yet again this industry gets a heavy investigation by the hse again?

Ex boss had three 338xpt... Non of them ran right... Sad as they were a nice saw, always were able to pull them through thick trees and were a quick cutter.... But they weren't "right" Prior to that they ran the old echo 25cc that was painfully slow as they wouldn't pay the extra for the ms200t.

Don't run silky either, better off with ars, or Windsor.

I am picky and fussy when it comes to equipment, I also won't tolerate faulty equipment - I was once known to throw a new ish top handle out of a tree onto concrete as it was dangerous, irratic running. I have brought an echo 362tes for the time being.

I'd literally not run a hyundai, it's not going to be an efco/emak, Hitachi (hikoki) brought out tanaka and said their pulling out of Europe, tanka made alot for dolmar / makita along with fuji / Robin. So the old huski 338xpt wasn't a great saw... Numerous faults. I had loads of stihl units at one point, but hey ho.

It's not a hyundai I'd never run that shit

Nope, hedge cutters, blowers and strimmers yes, chainsaws nope

Tell me what? Yup still can get spares either through jonsered or tanaka

An agri cultural store in the darkest depths of Dorset, and its an in-house warranty.. Actually was a nice saw, didn't bog down. ( shock horror I brought a tanaka) 🙄🤦‍♂️ But going on how many faults I've had with stihl stuff, and how huski was dire, and echos being slow... I thought why not came with a 16" bar on 😳
