  1. Past hour
  2. Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well. I looked at a few pruning topics but couldn't find anything that really answered my questions (although I did pick up a ton of good info). Some friends of mine have this mature apple tree in their garden which they love, it provides them with a good crop of cooking apples every year and is a feature of their garden. They want to prune it which I said I was happy to do but I just want to get the balance right. My plan so far is to open up the middle a bit, remove dead and crossing/inward/vertical branches. Is there anything else I should be looking at? Some of the shoots are fairly chunky now, should I be reducing their number or focusing more on smaller branches/shoots? I'm looking at removing about 20% of the canopy overall. Thank you!
  3. It was pretty culturally insensitive of him to interrupt their traditions.
  4. OK thanks I understand now. If its squirting only when the chain is moving, my guess would be there is nothing wrong here just excess oiling, which you could turn down. or oil is too thin. But always worth checking. Sometimes the bar or faceplate can get dirty or dented allowing oil to leak out in strange places. Normally though oil would just leak downwards to the chain catcher area You can make a paper copy of your bar to check the alignment of the bar hole? You could run the saw gently without the bar off to see where oil emerges from the body of the saw. The risk is that the clutch flies off, so I do this outside, pointing in a safe direction and after the saw is warm so it doesn't require much revs.

  6. From the top of the bar area, a good squirt was shooting out every second. With the saw held with the recoil side downwards, gravity had it landing on the exhaust. I'm about to fire her up, if its not cured by yesterdays cleaning I will try to get a video.

  8. I was trying to place him, and i did wonder if that was him.id have like to known what he originally did time for , be funny as if he turned out to be into nicking small plant , chainsaws and arb equipment . At the end of the day some people fight so people flight , its becoming so normal now that its not shocking to hear this on a day to day basis anymore . I just feel for the victims and all of the medical staff having to deal with war zone injuries in a civilian set up and the scars they have to deal with.
  9. Can you clarify what you mean by oil squirting "from the bar mount area, directly to the exhaust"? For me the bar mount area is on the side of the saw and the exhaust is behind this. Oil should stay on the bar mount side and it shouldn't be possible for bar oil to squirt onto the exhaust.
  10. Hi I’ve been looking for a little mini digger for a while now, a neighbour is selling a 2008 Kubota KX 41 3V for not a lot of money. Straight enough machine with a good cab and sharp responsive hydraulics. It’s not gonna be used commercially rather a bit of landscaping, Foundations and general work around the property, just wondering if anyone had used one or had any experiences good or bad. Cheers

  15. Morning all, Hopefully finishing last week’s job off if rain not too bad. I was never the best at branch walking, and pruning beech in the wet is not my greatest ability. Have a good week
  16. What has that got to do with it? He stepped up shouted “**************** you I’m Millwall” and steamed in to the attackers. It was probably because he was Millwall firm member. Whatever his past, he got up and took action whilst all the others just gasped or ran away.

  27. Yesterday
  28. My tort lecturer was an ambulance chasing toerag before going into teaching. He ran the scan vans that toured post industrial areas, told people they were afflicted and going to die in miserable pain, and then sued their previous employers (or anyone standing still enough for long enough) for the psychological damage his scans had caused. One of the appeals was one of the last cases heard by the house of lords before the supreme court took over. It’s funny now and he can enjoy his contribution to legal history but it was seriously scummy stuff.
