It is advertised as showerproof, not waterproof

I dont know why it was deleted it. I have restored it anyhow

Well said

I used to be like that when I was younger. Would pretty much climb in a t-shirt throughout the winter months. Seems the older I get the more layers I need, and its very restricting sometimes.

Nope. 201's, and 460's. I don't really use much else. Did have a 341 though which was a great saw but when the electronic ignition packed up for the second time I put it on the shelf and there it stays. I should sell it for spares really i guess. Bottom line is there are good and bad saws throughout the range of all the manufacturers saws IMO

In the last 2 years on 4 saws I haven't needed a single spare part on any of my Stihls

Carefully you don't scratch the flooring

I'm hoping to make it down on one of the days, hope to see some of you there

Since then the Company has operated from premises at Commerce Park, Frome, Somerset and 3 years ago, due to business expansion, acquired additional premises in Westbury.

Nope

They offered him a bypass and he turned it down. I found the same joke when I googled him

Cutting down trees ironically Swampy's new life: Former eco-warrior, 40, lives in a yurt with his four children and he even has a job! | Daily Mail Online

Interesting article I just came across, source Where Did the Phrase “Tree-Hugger” Come From? | Latest News | Earth Island Journal | Earth Island Institute The first tree huggers were 294 men and 69 women belonging to the Bishnois branch of Hinduism, who, in 1730, died while trying to protect the trees in their village from being turned into the raw material for building a palace. They literally clung to the trees, while being slaughtered by the foresters. But their action led to a royal decree prohibiting the cutting of trees in any Bishnoi village. And now those villages are virtual wooded oases amidst an otherwise desert landscape. Not only that, the Bishnois inspired the Chipko movement (chipko means “to cling” in Hindi) that started in the 1970s, when a group of peasant women in the Himalayan hills of northern India threw their arms around trees designated to be cut down. Within a few years, this tactic, also known as tree satyagraha, had spread across India, ultimately forcing reforms in forestry and a moratorium on tree felling in Himalayan regions. Despite this powerful history of nonviolent resistance, we still consider tree hugger a derogatory term. Meanwhile, a current example of forest protection in Brazil, where the country’s environmental agency has a special ops team that hunts down illegal loggers, gets all kinds of glory. Not that it shouldn’t, considering Brazil has cut deforestation by nearly 80 percent since 2004. But do environmental heroes need to, as the BBC recently described Brazil’s forest agents, “wear military fatigues, with heavy black pistols slung casually on their thighs” in order to get any respect? In Africa, there are several conservation organizations that have a shoot-to-kill policy when they see a suspected poacher. Private security firms in Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Malawi provide military-style protection for the iconic animals that Western tourists flock to see. While some have argued in support of these desperate measures–pointing to the dramatic rise in poaching in recent years–the “shoot first and ask questions later” approach has led to the deaths of locals, who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. These incidents of course lead to resentment toward conservation, which has been shown to be most effective when local communities are involved in the process. Not surprisingly, people want to protect the land they live on. And like the Bisnhois and people of the Chipko movement, they are often willing to lay down their lives for it–armed only with their own two arms.

Thats what I assumed the trolley was for, then he started his demo. Quick, patent the trolley idea before he realizes his oversight!!!

if you're using a tracked chipper, chances are its somewhere a truck can't get to!

I have a Stihl 4-stroke strimmer with the Honda 4 stroke engine. Starts so easily compared to 2 strokes.

Does it have somewhere to top it up with oil? If yes its a 4 stroke and not a 4-mix. Don't know if Honda even do a 4-mix

I have indeed, been in action since whenever it was the mk2 was released, well over a year now I expect

Am I the only person wanting mine to crack so I can get a brand new one for free before it needs retiring anyway?

Welcome. Either of the Stihl or Husky would be a good choice. Never used a mitox but as I understand it they are the better of the cheaper brands of saws. Unless you are on a budget I would definetly stick with Stihl or Husky though.

Looks good Jay, love the wavey effect. I was stuck on big Oak tree deadwoods today, the foggy damp weather made it hard work.

What's psa?

Those sprinters do look cool. I'd love to see a vito converted
