  3. It's not vocabulary police, the Americans especially buy cordwood that's stacked and has very little air gaps. Whilst it's a nice measure of the timber if it's all straight and consistent. UK firewood isn't, some people just chuck it loose in a bag and they get next to nothing, others like me treat it like Tetris so it stands up and won't flop over. If it's very loose you're maths is going to be a little out in bag numbers for a start.

  14. Yesterday
  15. Hello. Hope you get some interest. See you next time your in the shop
  16. Do you have any photos that you could share? Bit hard to try to diagnose the problem without being able to see the issue. Is there any obvious damage to that one bough, physical or physiological? Maybe Canker or some other infection.
  17. Opico M10X mini skidsteer loader trencher auger WWW.EBAY.CO.UK <p>Opico M10X mini skidsteer.</p><br /><p>Good little tool, an older machine but very basic and simple to use.</p><br /><p>Comes complete with bucket, trencher, auger drive unit... if anyone is looking, Harry is a decent guy too
  18. Of F*** didn't look at the date... yeah, hope for him hahaha
  19. I am a home user I guess - an occasional bigger tree or larger logs, and the 181 does me fine - still going well 10 years later - but as above and like all machines you need to keep on top of the routine stuff - cleaned (wiped down at least) every chain sharpen, decent oils (home user, for what it costs every so often, this one always gets Stihl stuff), spark plugs as and when and air filters, and it gets started at least once a month even if it has no use... I think where the ebay and similar stuff falls down is never had the routine stuff done (why would you if it is a few logs twice a year), petrol left in the tank evaporating or going stale in the petrol can and the carb left dry for a long time but it is expected to start 2nd pull. For what it is it is a good little saw. But got to appreciate what it is. Having said that, for a home user I think I would suggest a battery saw, a lot more pick up and play. Probably wouldn't recommend a cheap supermarket one though. For the OP I'd be checking the spark plug, is there a spark. If the piston is a little worn or scored it should still go but just be down on power? Are you using new fuel?
  20. STIHL GB proudly announces the grand opening of its new, purpose-built head office and state-of-the-art distribution centre named Contra House, ushering in a new chapter of innovation and service excellence for the business. Dr. Nikolas Stihl, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the STIHL Group, presided over the opening ceremony, marking a significant milestone in the company's long history.

Home to more than 100 staff, Contra House is meticulously designed to enhance operational efficiency, customer service, and employee well-being.

  21. You might need a little more than that to sell yourself. For example, do you have any chainsaw tickets / qualifications? Or is it experience from around a farm or even just chopping up your dads firewood pile. Things like diggers, again any qualifications, drivers license (clean or otherwise). Carmarthenshire area... but can you travel freely in that area - car, bike, bus or whatever, or would you need picking up in the mornings. Are you happy to start at the bottom rung, dragging brash, labouring, and use the machinery as and when you get the relevant tickets to use them in a contracting profession? Essentially you are asking someone to give you a few hundred ££ a week on the basis of 26 words? Give them a hand and persuade them why. The folks on here are generally more than happy to help out, but they do need something to go on.
  22. That's quite a vague request We would need to know a bit more about your intentions to guide you to the right arb-truck
  23. The same. Mainly CDs with a bit of YouTube and other online streamers occasionally.
  24. Last week
  25. So probably an 8cm grouping at 100m with irons. Impressive. I doubt i could hit my Mrs at that range, and she's about the size of a well fed deer.
