There are lots of varieties of chains with the same pitch and gauge - this has a shorter top plate and is unguarded compared to the Oregon 25AP and Husky chains.

Yeah the American public were aware of who and what they were voting for. 😂liable I like it Mark you tread lightly eh. A split jury a, a woman who went into the changing rooms with Trump and a porn actress. 🤔There's a reason he’s not in jail on criminal charges Mark and you know it.

Cheers for the reply, yeah I've bookmarked the 9102, but will that give clearance over the exhaust manifold?

Yep .

Few less spoon whittlers on the planet? meh.

It's got the same chuck and therefore quite possibly the same gearbox as the DHP486Z 18V LXT I had. Unwilling to place further trust anyway when there are other brands that haven't sold me something shit yet.

Oh OK fair enough!

Get well soon @peds Other news, pruned these back a smidge, was ment to be chilling away from home at some relatives, but couldn't help myself🤣 Not perfect buy a long shot, but saw decided that the battery needed to be empty.... Silky job it was

I think this might of been better just sent directly to @Crocky as I’d imagine he’d know 😂

Millions spent on hydrogen buses left stuck in depots due to lack of fuel APPLE.NEWS Liverpool and Aberdeen are amongst the cities that have seen dozens of vehicles off the road since last... Well there’s a good place to start. This is a well known joke up in Aberdeen. Saying that I didn’t realise they were half a million a pop 😳the left never have a problem when it comes to squandering other peoples money.

Are you confusing Stubbs with Constable? Or am I missing something here?

best way to get rid of it is burning.... best way to burn is dried, unless you are running short of space

Winching trees that don't have anywhere to go. I am starting to appreciate the power of this winch, to create it's own space. 20250516_095409.mp4

This has been my thinking. Combi seems useful for the versatility but I’m guessing purpose built would be a lot better

Sailor’s been pretty bloody good recently. Usual annoying babe under my feet but recall etc has never been better. Walking tighter, not bursting off so far and so quickly. Asserting himself with the geese more and hassling the chickens less. Often herds usefully. To what do I attribute this advance? My deep understanding of the canine psyche? Doubtful. My slavish devotion to routine? Err. No. Savage beatings and round thrashings? Sadly not. He hasn’t needed any. My calm demeanour, reassuring consistency and patient husbanding? Some of that. Inherent maturity (he’s 2.5 now)? Probably helping. Basically I’ve stopped walking him. Instead of 1-3 hour sorties in the countryside, we pod around the garden and do a 500m lap of the fell (becoming his territory) on the way in and out. He’s not cabin feverish or obviously missing it and approaches domestic activity with the same enthusiasm he did for the outside world. So that’s a result. IMG_5461.MOV

I would say yes. I get a lot more machines in for repair that have carb issues these days. Although, a lot of the machines are either stihl blowers which ive covered on another thread or machines that have haven't been used for approx 6 months. I think that a switch to super unleaded or whatever the equivalent is of E5 might be worth doing. Its not a massive increase in price of the daily costs but it could be worth it in the long run.

What do you need to cut? A good option is a Fiskars UPX86 or the £85 screwfix Magnusson pole pruner. 4M reach, very light, telescopic pruner for small stuff and a saw blade for thicker. Similar price but the Fiskars you have to buy the saw seperately. I have a Makita split shaft unit with the EY403MP pole saw head and extension. It works quite well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B096VSN6SW Do you have any power tool brands battery system? Most of them do a pole pruning chainsaw. I also have a cheapy engine milti tool kit with pole saw. The saw works finenbut the 52cc engine is very heavy. The 25cc or 35cc version would be much better for this.

I am no fan of Starmer or Macron, but on this occasion I think it was just a tissue and a stirrer.

Well call me next @#+¥ing year then! Jesus H Christ, You have to leave your own house, drive to theirs, knock on the door, act all nicey nicey, talk to them for however long, all in the hope of securing a day or twos work. Yesterday I drove 40 minutes to what sounded like a promising job. They were nice enough (the couple) the job was two small medium ash over a septic tank, piece of piss. I pointed out a 3/4 dead cedar right next to the house. I said if you want to spend money on trees, that’d where I’d start. She says no initially, then asks if I could just leave the trunk and cut every branch to a foot or so (still attached to the trunk) so it looked like a giant heated hair roller (she thought it would look like modern art) I said no, that’s stupid, I won’t do that. Anyway half an hour later, I secure a days work doing the ash. Funnily enough it was a water mill very near a chateau where I worked for an American couple years ago. A few bits and bobs the main job was a single big Leylandii removal. We parked the chipper and truck next to it first thing and whilst filling the saws the husband appears and without a hint of embarrassment asks if we can do the other stuff first as the wife wants some alone time with the tree to say her goodbyes! I said no way. Sometimes I think line clearance sounds nice, no public, just head down and go. Then I remember I’m usually drinking tea on the sofa by 2.30. Swings and roundabouts etc.

Looking for anybody with a stroke processor for hire or sale? Thanks

I think Difflock is from Northern Ireland, so maybe for them a hot dry summer is a rarity.
