Morning all, Feeling tired after yesterday’s efforts in the heat, but job went well. Hedges today.

The obvious is to clean out the bar groove and oil inlet hole . Start the without bar and chain . see if any oil comes out of the out let . Careful how you rev the saw , don't want the clutch spinning off if its a thread on one . The hard to start when hot could be low compression . the 135 is not a pro saw so maybe not worth spending too much money on it .

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks gents thought it was strange with no sprocket. Will have to get a sprocket bar next time. Don’t think it will take long to wear as generates a lot of heat.

For all those who naively buy into this whole asylum seeker farce. Hope all those poor lads on the front page of the telegraph let all the woman and children on first 🤷♂️

Aww, nice one. Such a gentle voice from mr Brooks. A great era for cultivating imagination in kids. You had to be there!

Ask for a tap and die set for your birthday! If you use them gently (oil, fward and back etc) even the cheap ones will work fine to repair stripped threads. Sorry if you have done this but check the manual for the valve clearances and set them to the midpoint. I find setting valves incredibly temperamental and it often requires several attempts. Normally the tolerances are given as a range, ive sometimes fixed issues in used engines going for the tighter end of the range, if that makes sense.

Thanks for your responses guys. I'm really trying to get an idea of how well made this machine is, and how it might handle say, wet conifer/gnarly hawthorn ? I suspect maybe poorly, like our old gravity fed machine, than our timber wolf 150 -but the various machine owners in the Somerset area must know, first-hand.. 🤔 TIA

All these cheap skid steer loaders about…….
woody paul replied to Treetom15's topic in Large equipment
The type of work you are thinking of doing are you going to buy right machine. Would of thought not big enough to make life that easy or be productive enough. Ground clearance is what you need to look at, I know from using my Tobroco giant in woodland with odd high stump left and not seeing one until to late and sitting on top of it. -
Yes definitely de-stressed the bearings as the workshop manual states. Thanks.

Highly unlikely unless it was near full power back in the day and now has some trick delrin parts and a decent higher rated mainspring. What is it...Meteor, Mercury or Airsporter?

I decided not to use resin so used wood glue and the fine sawdust from the sanding. Seemed to work. So my wife has put at least half a dozen coats of Tung oil. How should we finish it off or is that ok. Does it need sealing with something or left to breathe?

Sounds about right, the Pineapples on their shirts had me smirking.

Out yesterday doing some scrapes with the jcb. The TAB boom is so handy- lets you pull back in nice and tight to undercut the bracken rhizome cleanly against the blade. Then lift it up tight to build a bund behind you at a higher elevation.

STIHL has expanded its AP System range with the launch of two new lithium-ion batteries, the AP 20 and AP 30, engineered to meet the needs of domestic, semi-professional and professional users taking on lighter gardening and landscaping tasks. Developed for select tools within the AP System, the AP 20 and AP 30 offer a cost-effective introduction to STIHL’s professional battery platform. The AP 20 delivers 144 Wh of energy at a weight of 1.3 kg, while the AP 30 offers a higher capacity of 270 Wh at 1.8 kg. Thanks to the intelligent battery management system, these batteries have a constant level of power whether the battery is at 100% or 1% charge – meaning the tool has full power across the entire discharge cycle, for reliable performance from start to finish. The batteries are also equipped with power boost capability, which supplies additional energy on demand when working on more intensive tasks. Designed for durability and longevity, the AP 20 and AP 30 have a working life of up to 1,200 charge cycles, making them an ideal choice for regular use. Certified to IPX4 for splash protection, the batteries are suitable for use in damp or wet conditions, ensuring reliability in a range of environments. When used with the STIHL AL 301 charger, the AP 20 can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes and 100% in 50 minutes, and the AP 30 can be charged to 80% in 60 minutes and 100% in 80 minutes, helping to minimise downtime and improve productivity.

Clarity On Hedges That are both Deciduous & Evergreen
GordonM replied to GordonM's topic in Trees and the Law
I strongly suspect 4 is fine to pay the bill to have the evergreen ones reduced to under 2M if necessary. Those aren't the concern, it's the deciduous ones next to them which they're much more protective over. It appears to be much sensitive with those. Personally i'm fine with that approach. Again i'm just not certain which way the council will go with this one. Hopefully the deciduous ones dont get affected too much. 😞
