  1. Past hour
  2. Good fortune for the future Pete.
  3. That's appalling. Whole sentence is crap. If I didn't know who Husky were, I'd shut the window for being tingtong. I weep when I see things like that. They've been making stuff since 1689. All that brand goodwill, teetering on the edge of worthlessness for a moment's laziness/crassness.
  4. Christ here we are again running the saw with no bar and chain, I strongly advise you do not do that, on the over run they can, and will spin off, once away from the drum you have two shoes one spring and a spider flying through the air at speed. Yes clean the bar delivery holes, next you need to remove the clutch and check the oil pump gear behind, then remove the oil pick up pipe and filter and clean, has this been running with bio oil?
  5. Today
  6. Good luck with that one, looking at the photo.
  7. Resorted to guessing different letters. Still clueless. Wordle 1,516 4/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟩 🟨⬜🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  8. watch out for Avants i have a 2017 Avant 520 1700 hrs when i brought it, i paid just over £8k plus VAT no attachments and no, it wasn't stolen
  9. Morning all, Feeling tired after yesterday’s efforts in the heat, but job went well. Hedges today.
  10. Yesterday
  11. I hope it is 50 per hour, requirements like for INTEL CEO😯
  12. For all those who naively buy into this whole asylum seeker farce. Hope all those poor lads on the front page of the telegraph let all the woman and children on first 🤷‍♂️
  13. Aww, nice one. Such a gentle voice from mr Brooks. A great era for cultivating imagination in kids. You had to be there!
  14. Ask for a tap and die set for your birthday! If you use them gently (oil, fward and back etc) even the cheap ones will work fine to repair stripped threads. Sorry if you have done this but check the manual for the valve clearances and set them to the midpoint. I find setting valves incredibly temperamental and it often requires several attempts. Normally the tolerances are given as a range, ive sometimes fixed issues in used engines going for the tighter end of the range, if that makes sense.
  15. Thanks for your responses guys. I'm really trying to get an idea of how well made this machine is, and how it might handle say, wet conifer/gnarly hawthorn ? I suspect maybe poorly, like our old gravity fed machine, than our timber wolf 150 -but the various machine owners in the Somerset area must know, first-hand.. 🤔 TIA
  16. Looks like a Constable painting.
  17. Yes definitely de-stressed the bearings as the workshop manual states. Thanks.
  18. Highly unlikely unless it was near full power back in the day and now has some trick delrin parts and a decent higher rated mainspring. What is it...Meteor, Mercury or Airsporter?
  19. I decided not to use resin so used wood glue and the fine sawdust from the sanding. Seemed to work. So my wife has put at least half a dozen coats of Tung oil. How should we finish it off or is that ok. Does it need sealing with something or left to breathe?
  20. At the old folks in Devon so batching a Lasagne.
  21. I use them all the time now, makes life sooo nice, didn't use them on the course had enough to worry about. Just put the rope through the right hole first🙂
  22. Sounds about right, the Pineapples on their shirts had me smirking.
  23. We are looking for an extra pair of hands to join our company on Friday (15/8/25) for half a day. Some hedge cutting and small tree felling. Aerial rescue required - Own climbing gear required for rescue. Possibility for more opportunities to come following Friday.
  24. Out yesterday doing some scrapes with the jcb. The TAB boom is so handy- lets you pull back in nice and tight to undercut the bracken rhizome cleanly against the blade. Then lift it up tight to build a bund behind you at a higher elevation.
  25. STIHL has expanded its AP System range with the launch of two new lithium-ion batteries, the AP 20 and AP 30, engineered to meet the needs of domestic, semi-professional and professional users taking on lighter gardening and landscaping tasks. Developed for select tools within the AP System, the AP 20 and AP 30 offer a cost-effective introduction to STIHL’s professional battery platform. The AP 20 delivers 144 Wh of energy at a weight of 1.3 kg, while the AP 30 offers a higher capacity of 270 Wh at 1.8 kg. Thanks to the intelligent battery management system, these batteries have a constant level of power whether the battery is at 100% or 1% charge – meaning the tool has full power across the entire discharge cycle, for reliable performance from start to finish. The batteries are also equipped with power boost capability, which supplies additional energy on demand when working on more intensive tasks. Designed for durability and longevity, the AP 20 and AP 30 have a working life of up to 1,200 charge cycles, making them an ideal choice for regular use. Certified to IPX4 for splash protection, the batteries are suitable for use in damp or wet conditions, ensuring reliability in a range of environments. When used with the STIHL AL 301 charger, the AP 20 can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes and 100% in 50 minutes, and the AP 30 can be charged to 80% in 60 minutes and 100% in 80 minutes, helping to minimise downtime and improve productivity.
