Does anyone have any more info? At first glance it looks like a midline attachable zigzag that can also be used for SRT.

at least write a short non fiction account, the build up, the violence, the aftermath. Surely I'm not the only nosey one who wants the gory details

There’s a rubber thingy that will hold a Krab rigid in a rear handle, I’ll see if I can find it on the net..

Before srt Inused to use a pinto with a belay master carabiner and sling as my anchor. I just accepted I went back up to get it at the end of the job... now I think **************** that as I retrieve my base tie line from the ground

Interesting. I remember doing that sort of logic at a school club in the 1990s. That and programming a minotaur to walk round a maze.

Very pretty but as far as I can see it is a complicated/expensive way to save a small amount of time.

I had a slightly more sensible response from Dan @ Stihl GB. Still doesn't make a huge amount of sense and I think it shows how much 'out of touch' Stihl GB is from it's customers. \\ Good morning Mr Bartlett, Thank you for your further email. The part you are enquiring about is used on the Rescue Saw version of the MS500i which is not supplied or brought into the GB market for numerous reasons. I am sorry for any disappointment caused, however should our ongoing market research deem a need for this specific machine in the future, we are happy to review it's introduction at a later date. Kind regards, Dan STIHL GB Andreas Stihl Limited //

Hi all, I live in a property that borders a strip of "unclaimed land" (located here...) what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location W3W.CO Every 3 metre square of the world has been given a unique combination of three words. Used for e-commerce and delivery, navigation, emergencies and more. The last known owner died in 1858 (Major John Henderson). The area in question is within a Tree Conservation Area. One of the trees on this land is a wishbone-shaped tree with one of the mature trunks coming down during Storm Amy and on to a parked car (written off). This incident drew our attention to the dozen or so trees on this small strip of land. There is a mature oak tree. Upon inspection, the oak tree displays fissures and stress damage around 6ft from the ground. The tree is around 70ft tall. The local authority has refused to take any action as the tree is not obstructing any roads (see Scottish laws). They have refused to enter any discussion on safety, despite this being the major concern. If I may, can I ask for your educated and expert opinions on the photos of the trees in question?. Is it possible to identify professionally the issues we should be concerned about, and if at all possible, what we need to say to the local Council in order to get them to act?. Many thanks!

I got fed up after both a Husqvarna and an Oregon one failed and leaked. I now just use an 5L aspen can filled with pump fuel and a 5L oregon chain oil can. Both pour really well without a funnel if you keep them at about 3/4 full. But I'm normally never far from a vehicle.

Thanks for your correction -I didn't realise it was actually a 10cm thick branch . So, that's actually quite good productivity, for a machine powered only by a 13Hp engine.. When I quizzed the Carlisle agents, they were insistent that their bigger 25Hp engine unit made no discernable difference to chipping performance, only to tracking speed up an incline. Hence they would only now sell the 13Hp engined units. Perhaps I'd better get up to Carlisle, to test out the demonstration unit.

Morning all, Drizzle just now but 15 degrees and sunny forecast. Crazy. Side pruning some conifers today.

Ahh, that might explain it.

@shavey

Yeah, that was what I concluded. Though I had them in a dim unheated garage I think, maybe if they were in a bright, warm conservatory or something they'd do better. No need to buy more seeds, just use some from last year's chillies. They're always viable. Dead easy, especially if your drying them out anyway.

Looking for insurance for our log business machinery and public liability who is using who ?????

Yes and yes, although the hinge quality on most Ash trees particularly the larger ones are unaffected by Ash dieback. Another tree served notice on by the highways. Set back 5m from the road edge with relatively lol usage and hardly declining. No way did it warrant removal let alone 28 day notice from highways. Very poor judgement. Sadly I was just the hired gun to kill it for another company. I'm awaiting a job direct for myself where I can offer to appeal the notice. Its all to common the highways are serving notice on trees that would be deemed tolerable risk if using QTRA which I know they use. So appealing it should be fairly straight forward.

This is the big turntable machine isn’t it? Couple of peeps on here have them. I may be wrong but I heard TW stopped supporting the machine. So you may have to get engineery with spare parts. Got any pictures?
