Good point.

With my 352, so a similar saw, it doesn't have anything between the bar and plastic case. The gap between the oil hole and the chain channel can block so I give it a good clean and blow out. It's only a small saw so you don't get a great oil flow but it'll splatter a bit of oil from the top of the bar if tested.

Housing shortage, so what’s going on here then?

What would the average price be per house there Steve? -

I never noticed the garage door thing when I looked at the photos - not sure if it is a design thought to reduce on street parking (if it was me it would fill up with stuff that would go in the shed), just wondering if it counts as a porch / car porch for the planning -
That's a clever bit of nudging.

Cars are generally getting bigger so maybe it's not the garages' fault. I mean it clearly is also the garages' fault but what if.

I agree! Even better if new build garages could accommodate something bigger than a Smartcar! -
It has no clutch, the drive is taken directly from the motor. You're correct that the drum is only used for the brake band as in most battery machines. The only saw that I have seen that has a clutch is the Husqvarna T542i

Cheers for the feedback Steve. You're right it does take up too much space. I'll pass the info on and hopefully we can improve the look.

I have these for my Worky Quad, they work a treat. 3 tonne rated. Just slightly too long to fit flat on the bed, but they fit just over the tailgate strapped down. https://jacksta-energy.co.uk/product/aluminium-loading-ramps-3-ton-heavy-duty-3m-10-foot-long-pair-includes-vat-collection-only-copy/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21276624464&gclid=Cj0KCQjw953DBhCyARIsANhIZoYI4IhOTEkQRpbv2z8CzuNoLrepIx_LiRkgOlVXa-CRGDB77t0xDw4aAoS1EALw_wcB

Looking for a reliable, experienced freelance climbing arborist to join me for days of work here and there – nothing full-time, just as and when jobs come up. Mostly domestic tree work, some larger takedowns from time to time. You’ll need your own climbing kit and saws, be confident up a tree, and ideally have a good head for rigging and working efficiently. Day rate depending on experience. Work is mainly in and around Ipswich with some jobs further afield. If you’re local or passing through and want to get on a few days here and there, give me a shout. Cheers! Leon 📞 07564648336

ISC Squirrel Tether with Pulley The Squirrel Tether is the ONLY metal tether for the ISC Rope Wrench, designed and manufactured exclusively by ISC in Wales, United Kingdom! The Squirrel Tether is designed for low-friction ascents and optimal engagement of the Rope Wrench, as required during descent and lateral movements within the canopy. The new Squirrel Tether is manufactured from Aluminium, which ensures that twist and flex in the Rope Wrench system, is minimal. This means that the Rope Wrench remains in the optimal low friction position during ascent, (allowing the climber to achieve maximum climb efficiency), and ensures that the Wrench engages efficiently, as required during lateral movements and descent. The Squirrel is fitted with a stopper bollard, which keeps the Rope Wrench correctly positioned, to ensure correct engagement on the rope. The stopper bollard also prevents the Rope Wrench from pinching/squashing the user’s hand. This means that the user can safely handle the upper or lower part of the tether, when tending/adjusting the system, on the rope. The Squirrel can be used with an SRS Chest Harness, for hands-free tending of the system, while ascending. The Squirrel offers a choice of four SRS Chest Harness attachment points, allowing users to position their harness, according to the type of chest harness used- and to their personal preference. The secondary aperture of the Squirrel Pulley provides an attachment point for the addition of a secondary system, which means that the Squirrel system can be used for rescues. The Squirrel can be used with the 11-13mm Rope Wrench (RP280) Please note the Squirrel tether is replacement part for existing ISC squirrel tether PPE kits. Registered Design No. 6108494 Technical Information Compatible with rope diameter (mm)11-13mm (MBS) Minimum Breaking Strength (kN)24 (MBS) Minimum Breaking Strength (lbf)5295 ANSI compliant versionAs standard Serial numberingAs standard FinishAnodised Weight (grams)350 Weight (ounces)12 Height (mm)319 Height (inches)12 9/16″£114

Purge bulbs are pretty easy to replace, just make sure you get the lines back in the right order. Regarding the bar oil leak, to see if all parts are there, you are best to check the assembly diagram online for your model of saw. Also get the saw and bar spotlessly clean and check that the face plate is flat and sealing properly. Confirm its the right type of bar and correct number of chain links for the bar. Also check that the bar oil holes line up - a good technique is to make paper or cardboard copies of the bar

If you can pay for your Rhodie clearance work by making charcoal that would be fantastic but hopefully a relatively short term thing depending on the scale of the problem and the woodland. Otherwise, like SP says above, work with what you have , in other words what the planned management will be generating. The poplar is a one off, don't plan too much around that...
