  1. Past hour
  2. so our soldiers are dolescum too - scroungers with legs blown off
  3. Nope not on my last two orders of £159 and £120. Also ordered a Meteor piston and cyl kit for my G372XP clone saw. METEOR Cylinder & Piston Fits HUSQVARNA 371, 372 OEM Quality Product | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK OEM quality product designed and made in Italy. OEM part number -. Manufacturers part number (OEM) used for identification purposes only. GHS are...
  4. Quite a small amount may as well do by hand would take about 5hrs id guess for me to do the chunky ones with saw and axe & they look easy and nice to split. I assume the thin ones pile will go though the branch logger.
  5. if they are being held on remand that will be taken into account for the sentencing. i bet the stump is putting up new shoots already it took me 2 years to kill my sycamore stump
  6. Not on the 261, you get those on the 260. The stopper in the pic looks OK to me
  7. Today
  8. Yep, being 5 years ago I'd have to guess that the 1st post of part numbers was from researching the possibility online and the 2nd post in December is what I actually bought from my local Stihl dealer, I've just checked the bar and it's 1.3 mm [ 3005 000 4809 ]. If you have one of these saws and your running the shitty wee PM chain I'd guess that you'd be blown away by the difference from swapping out everything, I think from memory about £68. I started with Stihl full chiz 3/8" which I run on most of my saws, and I know you're thinking ' that'll hurt the battery' but it doesn't as it cuts much quicker and may actually do more work per charge. Also with the bigger chain the sprocket is of a larger diameter although with fewer teeth as the bigger chain won't go round such a small radius and the knock on effect of this is a higher chain speed, or gearing up. I know from the Stihl rep who was on here a bit back that the msa 220 has a slightly more powerful motor but that doesn't stop this mod to the msa 200 being a great improvement. Currently I'm using Panther full chiz 3/8" chain from Chainsawbars and I've gotta say that it's on par with Stihl performance wise but much cheaper and from memory about 1.5mm more tooth, so after a year of using I'll give Panther chain 5 stars👍

  10. 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,,
  11. Sorry, in a rush and got spell checked!
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. I don't want a groundie tugging me off, thanks.
  15. 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.
  16. Lovely firewood. With enough airflow it should be good for the coming winter
  17. Over 10 years experience in all aspects tree work. From lead climber crew leader some manager exp. Manly when needed
  18. 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.

  22. 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.
  23. 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
