Bit of a long story... A local arb was on holidays and got me a solo job tidying up a woodland, with a big poplar for us to do when he got back. It went badly, he wouldnt climb higher, he just wanted to smash big peices from low down. He tried negative rigging when it could easily have been positive and controlled, wouldnt listen to me. Tennis court fence got smashed, also his ladder smashed, he ran away. I stayed, wasted an extra day fixing the fence. Fixed, not perfect but customer is happy. Anyway after the repair, I got paid for the days I was owed (not for the fence). Customer had some trust in me, so I recommended somone else who I know is excellent. He has no fear of climbing higher and he is much quicker than the other guy. Small peices and controlled. That brings us to today, not quite finished, the stem left to peice down and just me today. Not very high, I thought ladder would be a pain so left it at home, used spikes instead. I prefer spikes to ladders! Stem was about 32", perhaps 40" at the top. 28" bar on the g372. Thankfully the quote was to leave the logs as I cant shift all of that by myself! I did say I'd cut them smaller and tidy it up a bit.

I was really impressed by the build and specification when I first saw them some years ago. I was delighted to be offered a role with such a good product!

Tractor loader joystick third service button.
woody paul replied to markieg31's topic in Maintenance help
If cover has no holes just cut a rectangle hole in it to take rocker switch which you can buy cheap. If loader has third service are you sure not a switch some were near joystick that works it. -

STIHL launches new high-performance, SGA 60 battery-powered sprayer
Steve Bullman posted a record in News
STIHL has expanded its sprayer offering with the launch of the SGA 60, designed to combine operator comfort with automatic and precise liquid distribution. Built for groundskeepers, landscapers and gardeners, the model removes the requirement for manual pumping, delivering consistent pressure throughout the spraying task. Providing a working pressure of up to 4.5 bars, the SGA 60 uses the STIHL AK System battery and features a 15-litre tank capacity. Its five nozzles enable users to tailor the spray pattern depending on the application, whether applying fertilisers or other solutions across a variety of areas. With a quick-change feature, professionals can choose between single, double, quadruple, fan-jet, and adjustable modes, ensuring effective coverage specific to the application. Ease of use is at the heart of the SGA 60’s design, with straightforward pressure controls, an intuitive ON/OFF switch and a clear battery charge indicator. Additionally, padded shoulder straps, back support, and a hip harness evenly distribute weight for minimal strain, allowing for comfortable use. The 2026 addition arrives as STIHL celebrates its 100th anniversary. Since 1926, STIHL has defined the global standard for battery and petrol-powered forestry, landscaping, and residential gardening equipment for professional and domestic users.

searched for a bit, couldn't find any good examples, but did find this.

5G does not get through trees very well, or the coming 6G is even worse at this, so the BS about the trees roots damaging pavements in places like Sheffield etc is just that. On the one hand they love trees and on the other they hate them for preventing us from being exposed to their shit... imo only obviously.
