If anything I think there’s may be slightly fewer round here than there was. There was a period around 8 years ago where you seemed to see a different company pop up every week

You’re missing a trick here spud, you should be sending all your work to sveriges and creaming off the profit for doing nothing!

STIHL’s battery range continues to expand with the introduction of the new AR 1000 lithium-ion backpack battery, the lightest of those featured in its PRO cordless range. Weighing only 5.5kg, the slim ergonomic design of the AR 1000 allows the weight to be carried closer to the operators back, making it more comfortable during operation, particularly over longer periods. Also, the attachable rain cover means its use is not dictated by weather conditions. A comfortable harness with a waist and chest strap come as standard and the new design includes a USB port to allow the user to charge devices such as mobile phones. The battery backpack enables the extended use of STIHL cordless products such as hedge trimmers, blowers & brush cutters. This versatility is particularly well suited for professionals who perform a variety of garden and landscape tasks. The AR 1000 is ideal for use in conjunction with the powerful new HSA 94 R and T hedge trimmers, affording them an impressive runtime of up to 380 minutes on a single charge. The FSA 130 and 130 R brush cutters can also run for up to 230 minutes, with the BGA 100 blower running for up to 225 minutes. When used in conjunction with the AL 500 charger, the AR 1000 backpack battery can be charged in as little as two hours, cutting down the time expenditures usually necessary for charging. For added convenience, the new battery backpack also has a six LED charge display status, enabling users to quickly and easily monitor the charge level to know how much operation time is left before needing to re-charge the unit. The STIHL backpack is available exclusively from more than 700 STIHL Approved Dealerships nationwide, with experts on hand to offer help and advice. The AR 1000 has a recommended retail price of £630 including VAT. For more information on the new AR 1000 or STIHL’s extensive range of cordless machinery, please visit www.stihl.co.uk.

Hasn’t that bubble burst yet?

Quite possibly judging by this http://blog.stihl.co.uk/incredible-not-impossible-ultimate-stihl-prototype/ In late 2014, we created the STIHL Carbon Concept Chain Saw. This one of a kind saw is made from carbon fibre, titanium and cast magnesium, drastically reducing the weight of the machine without compromising power and durability – it’s the weight size of an MS 362 with even more power than a MS 661.

Brilliant story

Its contained under this sub heading: Exemptions from the need to make an application to prune a tree in a Conservation Area or with a Tree Preservation Order So its relating to conservation areas. I thought fruit tree pruning was exempt

And welcome to the forum

Is this regarding trees in conservation areas or Newcastle period?

Attractive! Commission piece?

Soup sometimes, steak, sausages, heat up left over stew etc

well I bought that gas cannister 4 years ago for camping but have only just started using it regularly at work so time will tell. One things for sure, it will be cheaper buying it this way than the little cans. I can't remember how much I paid for it either, but the initial outlay is in buying the can, getting refills I believe shouldn't cost too much

That on I use one of the big refillable cannisters with. Not the largest size, the one that stands about a foot high

I think theres tattoos and theres tattoos. Love/hate across the knuckles for example. Can anyone argue that doesn't cause a client to make a (justified)judgment on the wearer?
