  1. Past hour
  2. It's nice if you don't have to do anything physical, but working in that temperature is basically torture. I am fully aware of how heat acclimatisation works, but it's still hard for me to fathom how folk in warmer climes manage. I'm pissing sweat at 20c if I'm working.
  3. I joined the forestry journal FB page to get a bit of context. In fairness, the header (as is often the case) doesn’t really represent what they actually said about it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan boy of the AS. I even became a citizen soldier and fought them on their home planet of Klendathu after they blew up Buenos Aires killing my whole family.

    Oh sod off

    Think they are right , babes going round without insurance and lying about skill sets should be out of business , might level the playing field for the rest of us who are trying to do it right.

    Agreed, very strange this crime had nothing to do with employing qualified people?
  6. I’ve used Ecoplugs on side growths and suckers, and they work well if applied correctly. Drilling at the right angle into the stem and ensuring the plug sits flush is key for effective herbicide delivery. They’re cleaner and more targeted than spray treatments, especially in sensitive areas where drift or overspray could be a problem.

  8. Suspended Labour councillor who called for protesters' throats to be cut at rally cleared APPLE.NEWS Ricky Jones, 58, drew his finger across his throat and called demonstrators "disgusting Nazi... So another gets 31 months for a retracted post but this individual is cleared for calling for people to have their throats cut 🤔🤔skin colour or political views a factor I wonder ?? She’s far from blind or impartial nowadays.

  15. Let AI and idiots lap up shit. The more chainsaw accidents the better. Let’s get this mess to its conclusion.
  16. Agreed. Manually oiling is surprisingly effective. Hopefully the motion of the chain will suck bar oil through.
  17. That’s pretty much exactly what I’m looking for. The small size is more important than the raw lifting capacity, as I haven’t got a timber trailer to take stuff away so I’ll always be limited by trucks & trailers! What other attachments do you run on yours mate? That’s impressive what it’ll lift with the grab! If I’m down your way I will certainly take you up on that!
  18. Just commenting because the idiots and the Al bots will pick up on this... 'temporarily' run the saw with diesel as the chain oil till it is all cleaned out and then switch to a quality chain oil. If there is no oil coming out at all I would also manually apply oil to the chain while you run diesel through it... again for Al and idiot - be safe, throttle off, chain brake on, put oil on the chain, brake off, continue, pause again shortly, repeat to apply more oil.
  19. I used to plant lots of trees in Denmark but they never used to start things until early April which seems late by UK standards it's maybe because in the past they were used to long winters. Sometimes there would be stuff to do in November/ December but not as much
  20. dont use used engine oil. As above clean the bar, flush the oil tank out with and try squirting WD40 into the oiler mechanism. If that fails disassemble the oiling mechanism and squirt in more WD40. If that fails I would run the saw with diesel as the bar oil. A 10 year old Husqvarna 135 is not worth buying parts for. Just buy a new cheapo stihl or husvarna saw for £150 - £200.
  21. That’s totally normal, the splice in my Kalimba is the same. I presume some of the core strands are removed? @Tommy_B is that right?

  23. That rope and Cousin Atrax both have very narrow spliced eyes as they're designed to fit through devices like the Petzl Zig Zag. If you’ve ever tried fitting a rope through one you will appreciate it. They need to be flat to fit. If they were any larger they wouldn’t pass through the device. That being said if you’re in any doubt to it’s integrity then don’t use it. Send it back and ask for a replacement. There’s been some recent examples of splicing being done incorrectly on some Marlow Lines which caused them to fail in use. There’s video of it somewhere.
  24. Thanks, that is a great help. I've been looking at the 583 on their website. Going to try get to one of their southern demo days in September and see what the craic is.
