  8. STIHL will be unveiling a wide range of new tools and technologies at this year’s SALTEX, one of Europe’s leading grounds management shows, taking place on 12–13 November 2025 at the NEC, Birmingham. Among the highlights will be STIHL’s latest charging solutions and a series of new battery-powered products launched in 2025, including the PKA 30 battery pump head, the SGA 30 battery sprayer and the WSA 40 battery water container. A key attraction on the stand will be the CM 8 charging management system, which allows up to eight chargers to run from a standard 230 V socket. The system enables twice as many chargers to be used on a single fuse, with built-in overload protection ensuring safe and reliable operation. Designed for straightforward setup, it offers a simple yet innovative way to manage charging across multiple tools. Also on show will be a selection of AP System battery-powered machines, including the RMA 7 lawn mowers, BRA 500 & 600 backpack blowers, and the HSA 140 & 150 hedge trimmers. Visitors can also see live demonstrations of the new GTA 40 pruner and MS 400.1 chainsaw, which delivers the best power-to-weight ratio of any professional chainsaw in the 60cc class. STIHL will further expand its PPE range with three new lines of chainsaw protective clothing. The FUNCTION range is designed for occasional use, while the ADVANCE range is tailored for professional arborists and tree workers, ensuring every level of user is supported. Visitors can also discover the full line-up of STIHL’s latest spraying and water management solutions. The PKA 30 pump head provides automatic constant pressure when added to the STIHL SG 30 sprayer or cut-off machine water tank, eliminating manual pumping for greater efficiency. The SGA 30 sprayer builds on this innovation with a complete backpack solution, offering variable pressure adjustments and precise liquid distribution. Completing the trio is the WSA 40 water container, which delivers a mobile, pressurised water supply to cut-off machines such as the TS 410 or TSA 300, supplying up to seven tanks or 30 minutes of operation with a single AS battery. STIHL experts will be on hand throughout the event to provide demonstrations, advice and guidance across the entire product range. For more information, please visit www.stihl.co.uk.
  9. Recently I've encountered many zama and Walbro carbing issues on saw rebuilds. Sometimes it's purely a case of a new kit and its sorted but when that doesn't work is where i come up against a brick wall. Could it be a welch plug issue or the check valve below the brass piece? What i'd like to know is is there someone or a company that will refurbish these carbs so they're good to go and as good as new again as they tend to be from older or saws that have been laying around for a while that i completely rebuild thanks
  10. My Brilliantissimum has this same problem. Were you ever able to diagnose it or fix it? I was so disappointed when this year the leaves quickly started developing this browning in the middle again, despite removing the affected leaves quickly.

    Jokes???

  13. Morning all, Weather ok today, so can get some planned work done for our friends. Amazingly none or their trees suffered. The last 12 miles or so along the Ardnamurchan peninsula had a massive amount of storm damage. To the extent I would think it would be more efficient to accept the BT cables being broken to allow tree clearance to be faster, rather than trying to work round them.

    Good call - I will take a look at some local arboreta.
  15. It must have been really good. Your zip is down.
  16. Hello, I have a set of procoms and find that if I am listening to a podcast and using a strimmer/saw/chipper the volume is not loud enough for me to hear the podcast or music. When I am communicating with other procoms that is not a problem, plenty loud enough, any one got any suggestions? Phone volume is at max.

  18. Hi, I found this fungus on a cherry tree. I'm not sure what it is, can anyone help? Thanks
  19. Got home at around 3.00 and saw loads of them on sunny wall. Cut a mixed hedge the other day and as I cut near top Craneflys came out of top.
  20. yes there's a dilemma in that during the nesting season if you have enough cattle to trample the bracken you increase the chances of trampling eggs I suppose. The nesting season is the only opportunity to cut and collect the bracken.
  21. Manual controls
  22. Yes, I understand that, amazed the bit(s) didn’t leave a single mark left on its way, but if that’s what experience says then I’ll check the brgs. Maybe I’ll find some damage in the bottom end if/when I end up splitting the cases. My blow-by question was relating to the black on the crank weights. Same shade of black as the carbon deposits on the piston skirt above and below the ring. Which is combustion gas getting past the ring. (Piston hasn’t been hot enough to cook the oil). Thanks for your reply’s.
  23. This lot are great. Like a much easier 65daysofstatic and a much better Sigur Rós.
  24. Duh.
  25. Just open up the coil to flywheel gap, the ignition timing will be retarded ( if you can call it that nowadays) and the saw will be easier to start. Don't go too far as the spark will stop.
  26. Time Left: 6 days and 4 hours

    So the last shall be first, and the first last.
  28. Thanks. It was a momentary lapse of concentration and I just caught it. I've packed the soil up a little more. the strands that are growing out of the join.... I was concerned that is some sort of fungus infection.... but it kind of looks like I've caused it to root from where the damage is. Amazing that plants can do that
