  1. Seems comfortable and has had a good report from the chiropractor. One crunch bit and back for a second visit in two weeks. Was well behaved and quite liked it. He's definitely walking a bit better on greeting this afternoon. Straight back on his seat and sleeping.😁
  2. There are currently 17 jobs listed on indeed
  3. Mines not a fan of tree work, he's a arb truck guard mostly. He does like surveying tho and is happy to go miles through the woods etc. I think it's the noise of machines that puts him off.
  4. It's definitely worth mixing in woods. I keep different types separate for this exact reason. Fast burning stuff to build up the bed then thick dense wood to tick over and radiate heat .
  5. Why don't you drive a 4x4 as normal people do.....?🛻
  6. Ash and sycamore are some of the best so you will have to go a long way to match them for output. Fir tree is a soft wood that doesn't have a great value in comparison.
  7. Oh do push on and do something useful 😁
  8. Well certainly nothing we are given to see on the TV will ever be true It's all fake like the internet videos you see these days. Computers can now think for themselves and produce TV and video of what ever you decide
  9. Well chiropractor today as he's crunched himself running like a mad womble into a hole... Not a fan of the bath but he needs to be clean and smelling of roses...😁
  10. Pffft I did the biggest plop today and I'm on the deck for the day ..... Summer contracts starting up so clear,tidy, stripe and some windblown to chop up.
  11. Yeah that's a good point. I have ported my 66 and it has A LOT of power now. I run a 30" bar and haven't failed to cut anything I've taken on yet. I love the mid range huskys and the 455 is a lovely little saw. My old 362xp is my goto saw with 18" bar. I'm a husky fan especially doing soft wood forestry and general private work,they just run better. @FlyFishn As for the big husky saw 90cc upwards I never really got on with it. A big saw for me needs to be big and powerful and I never felt I got it from the husky over the sthill. I was going to go for an 88 but decided it would be too big and opted For the 66 . I have found over the years te 660 has never missed a beat . As much power if not more than the big husky I had which also had a bigger engine . I can handle the big still easily as it's not huge. The big huskys are better these days but if you can get your paws on both I would first. If not then I would go for a big sthil. ..

  14. Yeah just seen that. 😂 Them Koreans are mental and far beyond anything that classes as mental in America....😂
  15. Cool I'll pass on the info. It does look better for the groundies especially when stuff gets dropped into brambles etc.👍

    Ain't milk brilliant 😂
  17. Have you got posters of Alan twitcharse on your bathroom wall?🤣
  18. Thanks Does it jam up at all on big stuff?
  19. Was waving the msa220 around today. I'm not sure it's very handy.seemed big and cumbersome over my 151 petrol saw. Not got my paws on the echo electric yet.
  20. Can't say I've seen it either. I have only been taught timber hitch and that was a very long time ago. Only ever used it for lowering off. Could be a highwayman ...
  21. People charging too low is the biggest problem. It's got to be at least £45 pH to make insurance costs and kit etc these days.
  22. ...in the wheelie bin for land fill. There was a case a few years ago and I don't think they ever did find him
  23. 20m of 12mm static with 12kn is £25 on Am azon....🤣
  24. What do you use it for? Lowering off?
