A small battery one but realistically the brand is your preference (big brands anyway, not knock offs)

Stihl MSA160T is what I have, now called 161T. If it's cuts under say 4" the benefit of not having to start the saw and no need for ear defenders makes it worth the very slight extra weight of a battery. Depends if you will use it often, quite a bit more investment than the cheaper brands.

On my hakki pilke the splitter runs automatic after cut is made. The problem is the splitter just keeps running back and forth and does not stop. Can anybody tell me how to adjust this so it will stop when it returns?

Get a decent accountant/ book keeper and go from there , no point asking tree surgeons about something to do with hmrc -

I've got turnable chute on my JoBeau, can't say I have noticed that turning it causes blockage - more down to overfeeding leafy or stringy material as it's the weight of chips which push stuff through.

Always had a bad experience with teachers ,they weren't the sharpest of tools in my experience and if u didnt learn a certain way you were thick,just because they struggled to teach in a different way ... nice to see a teacher doing a thicko's job ! He must get some 💩 working on the railways and most ex criminals .. lovely

Echo cs2511t with 10"sugihara 1/4 1.1mm bar

I’d use the Husqvarna T535i XP. Light, quiet just as sharp just as efficient

I've got a Stihl MSA 120 for sale but it's a backhandle. Two batteries, charger, a few chains. £200.

the swivel I think will cause more problems that not, anytime I used to turn the head 90 degrees it would clog up as it disrupts the flow of the chip, its ok until you get to 90 degrees. It's not like a normal chipper where the spout can turn at the point it leaves the flywheel/drum. It goes from a wide tapering chute to a narrower spout that you then will turn and create a flat wall so to speak. Gloria is perfect the way she is, just leave her be!🤔😂

Hi I'm looking for suggestions on a small chainsaw for pruning jobs. I recently repollarded a big row of limes and used a silky for the whole thing, the regrowth wasn't that big but my 201 top handle would be overkill. Handsawing the whole thing was pretty brutal after a few trees. Battery or petrol, does anyone have any recommendations? Ideally something small and light. Thanks

With an expanded team and a broader product range, FGM Claymore is well-positioned to meet increasing market demand in both commercial and domestic robotic turf care. -
He was a teacher for 2 years at Emsworth school . Good at it and they all liked him . However he wanted a job that you start and such and such a time and finish at so and so time Unlike teaching that was pretty much 24/7 . So much red tape . He was miserable all the time . Now he is happy for the same money .

There are ones that split and ones that don't, if the grains double twisted it does literally just bounce back the axe or maul.

Our friends down the road had one that died gradually, I was a bit reticent volunteering to get involved - luckily it fell over in a storm and he cut it up and burnt it.

That would be facts Oldfeller, not popular with some. The 20 times more likely just doesn’t seem to be registering with some people. As is always the case there’s never any compassion for the young child who was the innocent victim in all this from those same types . They don’t seem to be getting the fact many of these illegals are from a culture that does not respect women or girls at all and does not see the age of 12 in this case as a factor. But that would be those inconvenient facts again.

Little bit like hill farm of sheep is different to barley farm in East Anglia, there's arb from small garden work through to big tree management contracts in London streets. Some of it will suit you and some not, but there's definitely work out there if you're a reliable, conscientious type of bloke. Any decent firm nowadays is using hydraulics to take out a lot of the manual handling, hopefully the next generation of guys will see the benefits of this in less back and knee injuries so career spans can be longer. Also if I was advising myself of ten years ago I'd say embrace modern climbing equipment such as SRT and ascenders , doing that in the last few years has really helped my old shoulders and elbows.

totally agree - I'd be very interested to hear the details of recent rapes committed by white Hindu women
