What’s the job? There are many freelancers up n down the country that could probably help you out by turning up with a suitable saw for the job. Im not far away but the boat cost would kill it. There is a freelancers map on here some where, I could be tempted to have a look on the grounds that  if you can’t find the saw to hire you have 2 options. 1 buy a bigger saw yourself or 2 hire a man with a saw.

The boat prices are extortionate, I’m not sure if it was you?, but someone told me it is the most expensive stretch of water in Europe to cross.

Hiring chainsaws from hire companies pretty much ceased 10 or so years ago. Hse put paid to it....by stipulating on top of providing all the safety kit with the saw. Bar length couldnt exceed 14" and all saws had to be hired with a brand new chain fitted. They used to simply re-sharpen a chain that had been used for a bit of weekend warrior work. Cost to hire the saw, with a new chain, and all the safety kit with insurance waiver started to cost near to £100 for that sort of money you can buy an electric or nearly buy a cheap petrol one new

The ferry is cheap in comparison to the fleet of £300k plus boats that sit in the marina at the Hamble and do nothing (and I mean nothing) other than cross the Solent for people to get lunch on the island. It's insane. It's like the M25 on a sunny Sunday.

That explains the ex-hire saws for sale all around the place, I bought a PS6000i off shavey with a 20" bar.

So my post on hiring a saw wasn't relevant then?

 

Lol.

It’s mental prices at the moment, they will dip again a bit after the school holidays but evan so we’re almost trapped here! On the plus side it does keep most of the wrong uns out!

If you were closer I would be more than happy to come over and give one of my many old school shelf queens a run out for no charge at all. Never get much opportunity to cut up a large diameter trunk of late
