Collecting Tom from Heathrow then spreading the good word close to home. He did good in the states! Messenger_creation_52285574-FADE-4CD3-B628-68DFF71033BA.mp4

Looked up the towing specs of a new one here, 3door, braked 1300kg, unbraked 350kg 😆 but a mate had a new one, loved it, another had the older one, scary to drive if nearing motorway speeds

Morning all. Back on the site clearance job today, looking forward to it. Mostly felling large Poplar, some were pretty manky. Inclusions, splits and hangers so the brain was engaged all day but the crane taking the strain. Mustn't grumble. Another thing, no base layer yesterday and just a t-shirt by 9am, was lovely. Have a good one folks.

In th late 70s early 80s we used to cut a good amount of blocks for supporting boats on that where out the water for maintanence for Fleetwood docks, so these would of been for some big Icelandic sized trawlers back then, if memory serves me well most of these would be 24" down to 12" square and from 4ft to 2ft long, we all so used to cut some big wedges as well and all cut out of Elm but back then elm was every where and for little money, today it be a bit difernt cost wise,

As above its the switch from pump fuel that shows this up. In other respects i find autotine 261s very easy to start and forgiving. Also being a 2015 saw it could have other issues, not idling well could mean it has an air leak. Its worth checking the rubbers and a pressure and vacuum test.

Check out Matt Watson from Carwow. He has a few vids on YouTube where he has imported Jimmy 3 and 5 door from Japan. They look great tbh.

Fine then but Jose was being recommended a Jimny and I was warning that there may be a problem towing an unbraked chipper with it. I'm out.

mine is a Discovery 2 and I worked for a large independent Land-rover /off road specialist for around 7 years. mine is very well maintained.

Customer wanted the logs cut smaller and stacked a bit neater. Ignore the long ones, think those are getting chipped in a week or two, and the noodled quarters might be tipped as mostly rotten. Seemed a good time as any to do the comparason video between the 2511's. The clone has 3/8" full chisel while the Echo has a Stihl 1/4" pm3. Clone starts every pull - Echo only when I remember the stupid slide stop switch! Echo bogs a lot, I remeber it being better on the 3/8. VID-20260209-WA0026.mp4 Clone has a slightly larger cut VID-20260209-WA0027.mp4 I greatly prefer the 3/8FC chain and the clones stop switch, and I think with the bigger exhaust it has more power. The PM3 chain works but I wouldnt buy it again..

can't go wrong with most tbh, if it sounds good, holds oil, doesn't leak and digs! buy it. today I through a track for the first time in a few years I think, big boulders under leaf litter and fly tipping. luckily I now have a Dave, my right hand man who was a fitter for 15 years and operates everything, I ate lunch, he put the track on.

I can find Oak and DF at a Military Surplus described as "Docking Blocks".

But im not looking at unbraked trailers , all the trailers i have were braked

All of which is about the rubbers, not the idle. My 2010 261 is manual carb, I don't know if a 2015 saw would be manual or mtronic?

To be honest it'd be worth going to dealership about a new one , i just googled what it could tow .

Il have a look tomoz

Might be Biennial Cropping. Some varieties are more prone to it. One of ours does it, it's a bit annoying. Laxton’s Superb I think it is. Lovely big tasty apple, every two years!

Ours tend to go in phases, last year for us was a good crop... of windfalls given the storms that passed through, the year before about half as many

I'm not disagreeing however my 020T might be 20 years old, as far as I know all the rubbers are original, and she runs great on E10. Either way, making the swap to alkalte is not something to be done on your daily work saws without some preperation or a spare saw.

That's irrelevant a 110/defender weighs 2 tonne unladen so a 750kg unbraked chipper is way under half its weight. The C&U regulation only effects lighter vehicles that weigh under 1500kg unladen when towing an unbraked trailer

That applies on saws with some life behind them and is not the fault of the Aspen; it happens because chemicals in the pump fuel have dissolved out rubber softeners present when the saw was new; is my understanding.

A bit of both I expect.

The pump fuel is the problem . The alkylate fuel is just showing it up . Use a saw on alkylate fuel from the get go there will be no issues .The petrol removes the coating on the rubber components but keeps them supple because it is slowly attacking them . Alkylate fuel does not attack the rubber . But , if you have been using pump fuel for some time then switch to an alkylate fuel the rubber components turn brittle and fail because they are no longer being attacked . Change rubber components .
