Good morning Arbtalkers 😊 Rain again 🙄

Morning all, Had a great day yesterday improving my control with the grab on the Bobcat E10. Two of us managed a large conifer take down with much less physical effort. Fed a lot of it into chipper with the grab. An indoor day today I reckon.

It was a 350cc Villiers engine. Made light work of any sawing as the torque was there. 6ft bar and the teeth were huge. Just a real b@stard to start.

Good morning Have a marvelous day.

Morning pete. Got a plan of action for a new job or is retirement an option.

Hi. Sorry for my late reply. Tried using that after it's rebuild but still no joy. I'm starting to think that this particular model of saw has a carb with no priming bulb which personally speaking is a problem. The models before and after the TS400 both have priming bulbs.

If you hammer it it’ll likely croak, they (genuinely) don’t respond well to heavy pruning.

That’s a columnar or whatever they are called. Never seen one before, looks good.

Morning Team. Rinse and repeat for me. Windy, awake too early and read the papers already! Be safe out there! Ferry, Tails.

they were determined to make this one behave

so why is it a pissardii and not a nigra?

A large number are using Rotatech oil, and the many other brands listed in this discussion, with no problems. The only issue I've had with rotatech oil was a small sealed pot of it that I left some chains soaking in the garden outside, wasnt as sealed as I thought! After using the electric sharpener I was dunking/soaking them in diesel for a few days and then oil. The diesel probably had water in it. Rain got in, and the oil turned to a thick white emulsified gloop. I believe thats caused by the sticky additive for making it cling to the bar, reacts with water. I'd expect water might turn other chainsaw oils to gloop, perhaps something to test with several different brands. Anyway thats never caused an issue with my saws, I'd happily buy it again if the price were more competitive.

Don't hammer it or it will kick off. Sympathetic reduction and that's another £500.00 every two or three years for the books. Or hammer it and rinse them until one of you gets bored of the tree.

If you have electricity to your yard I would invest in motion cameras and an alarm system that notifies you whenever someone steps foot into your yard, and a security system that alerts a 3rd party. Someone needs to be alerted otherwise they have all the time on their hands to do whatever they need do to get past all of your padlocks, gates fences etc.

If you do have a container you'll probably be drying your kit in it. Why not dry your sea fishing rigs, once you've rinsed them, too? You'll have to remember that you put them there to dry otherwise you could be scuppered by mackerel feathers.

That's my line!
