Some little trick ive used for a while since you dont need to start the saw up if you want to check for oil flow and you have an air compressor handy just spin the drum up with a blow gun pointed at the sprocket splines/rim. No chance of a clutch explosion using this method. Still didnt help me solve an oiling issue on a t540i though!

OK. Yes. That's a shit plan. I better go and cut something with it. Back to you in due course.

Did the reset and put it away. I'll find out how well it runs the next time I pull it up a tree (hopefully never).

Is the saw still running well and could you see a noticeable difference after the rest?

It's good to hear that you've got it running. It is worth using the original carb if you can get it sorted.

The 2511 is the one that people are using most. Stock its a bit boring, opened up its really excellent, if a little loud.

If it is like other fruit trees, don't take more than about 1/3 in any year and yes, you should be able to prune it back to a more pleasing shape. I think do it earlier in the year is better than now. As Muddy says, looks a bit dry too - some mulching around the base might help too, dig the grass back a bit to help that out.

Thinking of replacing my 201TC with something new, and the echo’s have been top on my list as I’ve heard they’re super lightweight and can be tuned to be proper screamers. there’s a CS2511 and a CS362, has anyone used either of these and can confirm if they’re good for medium tree take downs etc? Or any other recommendations? Cheers

Personally Id say it was suffering from drought, particularly given the brown lawn and healthy lavender.

I have a 6 year old peach tree which is increasingly lanky year by year. I have tried pruning but the long branches remain. Can I prune much harder, or is it failing for different reasons. I am a beginner with no knowledge

Sequoia, newer style. Spent a bit of time in a skyloctec, and the sequoia is by far and away better. Can't stick the webbing bridge.

how to annoy the US.... Russia bombs Ukrainian factory owned by US company... lets see Trumps head spin around, protect US interests or protect his own interests. Hmmmmm, I feel the Putin love-in is still going to continue Russia bombs US factory in one of war’s largest attacks UK.YAHOO.COM Russia struck an American business with cruise missiles overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war so far, Ukraine has said.

Had exactly that on my " Crocky " ported 395 . Bought a new spark unit for just over a ton and shazam ! It works again .

Hi @Steve Bullman I wanted to temporarily remove my tip site as not in position right now to take more (without deleting) so I used the "hide" function. I can't seem to find the site again however to unhide it (when I need to!). Grateful for any advice.

Depends what software you are using. OS Vectormap in CAD is dirt cheap but lacks fine detail, I have used it for large rural estates. Mastermap usually out of the question for anything big.

Hi, I'm looking for a groundie or climber to help out with the workload. Most of our work is domestic arb, hedges felling etc. Happy to take any level of experience. To find out more please feel free to DM me or ring 07779118685. Thanks.

Have you looked at the 3rd party mapping sites - I've used emapsite and 1km squares are less than £20 last time I looked. I think they have the tree survey mapping too

Trade Descriptions Act breach! They're dismantled shelves, not planks.

You could whittle some good spoons out of them!

Hi all. I am getting prepared for starting tree surveys as I sit my PTI next month. I have a large survey coming up incorporating over 175 acres. I was wondering which maps people use to plot out new trees and plantations? Google maps/earth seems pretty limited and poor quality for larger areas and OS is eye-wateringly expensive for the map I need. Does anybody have any recommendations as to what they use? and prices too? Let me know. Many thanks. Paul.
