glad times have changed

really ??? he looks like an old time timber faller to me and knows what hes doing!

 

indeed

[Steve Bullman]

the ppe or lack of in this vid also the safety features on the saw, i wouldnt work a saw without a chain brake n safety throttle.

i like to have a rear chain brake on the handle also, makes it that lil bit safer

 

nothings changed mate. except for the chain breaks

[nuggsy]

im not saying hes doing anything wrong btw, im just highlighting the lack of ppe and safety features

[nuggsy]

and low kick back chains, different bar designs different cutter designs different metals used for the chain

low kick back chains???:thumbdown:not somthing you want on a saw especially one that size.

They make a lot of people swear,the first thing i do after buying a new climbing saw is bin the chain and put a proper one on.

no not at all, we get it drummed into our heads at college about all these differt chains and bars and all sorts, i dont like the ramped hobby type chains but im just making the point of all these things are in lace for our safety, it is then up 2 the oprator weather they use them or not

If I saw one of those at a farm sale i'd snap it up streight away.
