Cheers Doug. Should I put milk and 2 on there?
-
2 hours since I posted this topic and it’s fair to say this has been 100 percent fully derailed. Good work men
-
Don ah gee. There’s a million ways to pronounce it 😂
-
Seems like a good bit of kit that!
-
Try and pronounce it and see if you get it right… If you do get it right, I’ll send you fiver… Might VAT reg name is JD Forestry/invoice name as well… Any suggestions for the name would be taken into consideration as I’m well aware ‘Initials Forestry/Tree service’ is pretty common and basic… I am a complete donut when it comes to marketing on the Internet though for sure so any help is gonna be appreciated

My friend uses it and they looked all right like! When was the last time you used it? I’m sure his were like 50 quid for like something daft like 500 of them…
-
To be fair I could always do a double sided card with that flyer… Maybe change the pictures about a bit to something a bit simpler as it’d be very small
-
Aye I’d never fell anything in a garden to be fair would always get a climber as it’d be an absolute nightmare. My work mate has felled pine trees between a garage and a house recently and they were that small either and it worked out for him but I’d never attempt that.
-
Aye you are right. I know plenty of climbers to call on if needed if it needs it.
-
Hey. Going to make business cards to follow up with this flyer as I now see the importance of it. Vistaprint seems pretty cheap for a couple hundred of them. I need to make a logo and make it clear as to what I do and not come across as a tree surgeon as I’m not a climber. Anyways. Where’s best to make a company logo?

Forestry employment issues

Surely you can’t be expected to run a saw, van and all your own kit for anything less than 200. I get more than that and don’t even think it’s enough at times! -

UK Hand Cutters page on Facebook? A lot of Scottish on there but the odd English as well I think. Wish we had forestry like you have down south. Surely the rates for a 8 hour day will be 200+. @Stere -
If it’s out of warranty it’s a major gamble lads…

Has someone been watching a little too much Buckin Billy Ray last night

Got this for sale in the Scottish Borders. Massively underrated saw. I’ve probably cut a good… 20 odd lorry loads of hardwood with a 24/28 inch bar (double cutting some of it). Never misses a beat until I had to put a new carb on it through warranty. Ran on that XP expensive Husky oil. This saw you literally just need to touch the throttle and it is revving right up and pulls into the wood. Word of advice is always check your chain if you do buy a bigger saw. This 585 will cut fine with a chain with the points off the cutters so I always check mines to make sure I’m always sharp as it’s decieving. Only selling because it’s too big and heavy for softwood felling that I do, and carrying it up hills is a pain. Slavor over… back to felling some stinking spruce

More milk and porridge in the morning and grow into the tape
-
It’s next on the list I think… Buy my 585 and 572 then so I don’t have to sell my tight arse. @htb PM me
-
Would love a 346. Crocky does one and my work mate has one and it absolutely unreal
-
I just think they suit me better. The high top filter cover on my 372 really compliments my eyes.
-
May or may not start using Stihl bars as well
-
Currently got a 353, 372, 395, 572 and 585. Don’t really need the 5 series anymore and they just sit in the garage.
-
Good. I’ll meet you in Elgin, around the back of the co op. Fire up.
-
Ah fair play. And yes they all work.
-
Not sure if I’ve posted this on this forum but seems like a good topic to post it on… lol IMG_5107.mov

I’d use this 585 none stop relentlessly cutting firewood and my hands would be in agony after 10-12 litres through the saw. Put anti vibe tape, think it is for pushbikes or something. Makes a hell of a difference, makes the handle thicker which is perfect if you have bigger hands I find.
