  1. but possibly would have prevented further killing by the cnut, however things often done for all the correct reasons are looked at differently when the immediate threat has gone. I remember Tony Martin, who after numerous break ins and police inaction, cured the problem himself, but with a price to pay.
  2. Ok, whatever you say, but I fully expect this to proven correct. the Oregon CS1500 electric chainsaw will not effectively or safely run a 36-inch bar for milling. The saw is designed for homeowner use with a maximum 18-inch bar, and attempting to use a 36-inch bar for the demanding task of milling would likely damage the saw and yield poor results. Reasons against using the Oregon CS1500 for a 36-inch mill: Insufficient Power: Chainsaw milling is an extremely demanding, full-throttle application, much harder on a saw than standard cross-cutting. The CS1500 is a 2400W (around 3.2 hp) electric saw, which is underpowered for such a long bar and application. Milling a 36-inch-wide log effectively requires a large, powerful gas-powered saw (typically 70cc to over 90cc). Bar/Chain Limitations: The CS1500 is designed for an 18-inch, low-profile chain and bar system. The bar is likely too narrow to fit most Alaskan-style mill clamps, and a 36-inch bar for this model is not manufactured or recommended by Oregon. Oiling Issues: The saw's automatic oiler is designed for an 18-inch bar and would not be able to adequately lubricate a 36-inch bar, leading to excessive friction and rapid wear. Risk of Damage: The stress of milling with an oversized bar would put immense strain on the motor and internal components, likely causing the saw to overheat, bog down, and potentially fail. For milling projects, especially those involving large logs that would require a 36-inch bar, you would need to invest in a much larger, purpose-built gas chainsaw (e.g., Stihl 661 or Husqvarna 395XP class saws, or even larger)
  3. I didn't think oregon made a saw that is capable of running a bar longer than 18", most are shorter that that, my understanding is they are just hobby/occasional use saws and not suitable for milling. IMO even if you fitted a longer bar the thing would likely trip out the breaker under such heat/ loading required for milling. they are not made to withstand long periods of sustained loading that milling involves.
  4. I would fully expect such a move would bring out the worse kind of reaction,, and almost certainly result in a chaos that would be uncontainable.
  5. It's possible the dealers in question have ceased dealing with certain companies and manufacturers as their customer base has changed, or maybe another manufacturer offered them a better deal, possibly with a higher profit margin for them. or maybe another victim of rachel from accounts.
  6. do you drink in the same pub?
  7. Jensen woodchippers are not in administration. The German manufacturer, Jensen GmbH, continues to operate and produce woodchippers, with its products distributed in the UK by T H WHITE Machinery Imports through a network of local dealers. The company, established in 1884, is the original inventor and a market leader of woodchippers, and sources indicate continued growth and new dealership appointments across the UK as recently as April and May 2025.

    Fake 2T oil?

    not as good as the motorhome owner who,, tired of thieves stealing his fuel, damaging the locked caps and cutting fuel lines to gain access to the fuel decided to put a petrol decal on the toilet waste tank cap and leave it without any lock, a week later comes out and finds the cap lying on the ground, a piece of hose hanging from the tank and a trail of blue vomit and elsan fluid 200 yards long. never had a problem after that.
  13. These are pretty good, you can with a little practice get the saws, all the fuel cans,rigging, safety gear and enough food to see the day out, all in one go, with the added advantage if you misjudge it a bit you and all the kit will smash most of the top out saving a lot of work, and you can do the rest when you regain consciousness.
  14. reminds of one time I came home late from the pub, the missus was fuming, but look I said,, I won you a fur coat in a competition, what kind of competition she asked,, the biggest willy competition, I proudly announced. looking somewhat horrified she said,,"you never got it out for the whole pub to see did you" I winked at her,,,"only enough of it to win"
  15. take a little time with cucumbers, a slip here and there with the saw and the neighbours will be complaining about the giant penis in your garden, you know easily folks get offended these days.
  16. I once made an old stump into a big toadstool for a couple after felling a tree for them, they were happy enough, even painted it to look more realistic, but that moose is off the scale. a buddy of mine did a few "tiki" heads for a luau type event.
  17. chainsaw carving ya say,, how 'bout this guy,
  18. feck off! I have over a hundred used saws, some might be well worn, but none are stolen.
  19. sorry man, you gonna be ok though?? right. does that take the makita batteries?
