Yes but for those logs that just need a single split my old Kisa Combi would do the job, mine doesn't have a conveyor and that is not a problem if you are stacking in a shed.

Gonna get a lot more expensive too, I wonder how many taxpayers that’s gonna take to keep it going.

Andy at A&G had his machines done about 12 mth ago, all with locking caps, they just cut the kneck off the tank and took fuel but it cost him a fair do to replace the tanks,,

Sorry, in a rush and got spell checked!

On occasion that I remember to stick the fig8 in the caritool, I do decent on it but not often tbh, been climbing a decent bit of srt a fair chunk recently and the chicane seems to do a fair job of doing what a fig 8 would do

I'd be more worried about what they're going to build next than the state of the tree. Developers don't just randomly leave 20ft of perfectly flat ground for nothing, guessing access road for phase 2 considering there's no garden gate and the panels are attached from the outside.

I don't want a groundie tugging me off, thanks.

I already have an Echo 2511 climbing saw. I like the idea of a spare clone for any abuse work but the ones on ebay at £200 are too much. I have bought from Farmertec before, and see they have added a clone G2511, works out £92 delivered.

I used to love listening to Bob Harris Country on the way back from the smallbore club at Bury St Edmunds. Used to overtake everything for sport in my fabulous little 1.6 petrol (carburated) Vitara. Fabulous thing. Haven't had a vehicle with a good radio since. Wednesday nights from memory.

Ten years would be nice.

Lovely firewood. With enough airflow it should be good for the coming winter

Over 10 years experience in all aspects tree work. From lead climber crew leader some manager exp. Manly when needed

The smell from the just flowering hawthorn walking out our lane in the morning, while the dew is still on the grass, or of any random evening, is quite sublime. Though a few Oak seedlings in pots seem to have had their tender leaves nipped by the couple of mornings of tight hoar frost this past week. The weather here in N I. Since March, has been shocking fine and dry and sunny. Today there is not a cloud in the sky, and a warm wind from the South. Other years, mid May, it could be perishing cold , wet and miserable. With a proper bastard lazy wind.

I sort of don't get how any small firm can offer proper apprenticeships these days. The thought of paying someone £12,000 for you to train them for a year, and then £16,000 to train them again in year two, never mind the relentless paperwork and red tape. I am probably being a bit negative, and I do get that someone who is really keen could actually be useful in year one and two; but many youngsters straight out of school or college won't even know how to tie their shoelaces, and trying to keep someone like that not only occupied but constantly supervised sounds like something you would pay to avoid. Never mind that if after three years of hard work moulding them to be a safe efficient productive worker they leave. In larger companies where there are structures, and well established processes and procedures it might work out.

Bit of wood out of a domestic felling job earlier this week. Don't usually get chance to get it out in 2.5m from a back garden! Not up here anyhow

That's the old girl anyhow... dragged and stacked some timber to somewhere I could get tractor to earlier this week

Thanks for info will check all items.👍

They haven't said which October though.

Saw Motörhead twice in the eighties and nineties when I still had hair - absolutely brilliant and legendary performances 👍

Interesting. Googling it a good bit just now, and there seems to be a mix of people selling it with 1.3mm and 1.1mm... same with the Stihl corded electric saws, a mix of the two. To further muddy the waters, I found @Macpherson's posts about his conversion and in one post with the parts listed provided the product code (3005 000 3909) leads to a ⅜ 1.1mm bar, but on another occasion (3005 000 4809) it leads to the 1.3mm. Maybe he can stop in and confirm what he went for. Something to be said for either approach... the 1.3mm will obviously eat battery quicker, but sticking with the 1.1mm is... still 1.1mm, just at ⅜ instead of ¼. Well, I suppose I'll just jump straight in to 1.3mm. In for a penny, in for a pound.
