    The good old British Brainwashing Cooperation - the worlds biggest, publicly funded propaganda machine 😬

    They will have dual ratings - One for the winch and the other for the bollard. Depends or your intended use to which you choose. If your intending to spend every day slamming and catching big timber as opposed to lifting then don’t discount the Hobbs.

    That’s fine on a clean filter in a controlled environment - the issue with the HD2 is the speed it clogs up & the fines it can let through. Neither improve performance or saw condition

    Choice is always a fine thing 🙃😎

    Not for everyone, but they are a step up 👍

    Google is your friend Saul (only friend for some!) MAXFLOW CHAINSAW AIR FILTERS for Stihl Chainsaws. WWW.MAXFLOWFILTERS.COM

    I buy aftermarket air filters - MaxFlow. They are streets ahead of the Stihl ones, but expensive. Remember to retune your saw after fitting one 👍

    Just a super deep gob to avoid bore cutting perhaps
  10. Pete Mctree
    Just put your hand in your pocket and invest in MaxFlow filters if you run bigger Stihls. They are not only an improvement in filtration, but an increase in performance too. Don’t forget to retune your saw after fitting. if you fit an aftermarket dual port muffler too, the gains are noticeable MAXFLOW CHAINSAW AIR FILTERS for Stihl Chainsaws. WWW.MAXFLOWFILTERS.COM

    Location would be helpful 👍

    Just don’t answer it !

    When stems get bigger, you need to “roll” the flipline - there are a good few videos online that could help, Reg Coates does one that is quite good. It is a new technique and will take a little time to learn, but stick with it as it is worth the effort. Here is a vid that shows the more extreme end of it. I was lucky enough to be stood next to the cameraman and have a go at it.

    It’s nothing that can’t be achieved with a sharp knife, roll of insulation tape & a lighter - simple solution for a simple problem 🙃

    Pull it all the way out. Then winch in with a decent log attached. The binding is often due to poor winding on the spool

    Sorry but I’m a big Peter Cook & Dudley Moore fan 😂

    What chain though? My square ground is at 10 and 25 would just be too aggressive
  18. Pete Mctree
    Angle is manufacturer and chain dependent- I generally read the information on the box and go with that. You can change things for hardwood or softwood, but I usually leave the top plate angle alone
  19. Pete Mctree
    Either zip it downhill on a rope (gravity is cheap) or pull it uphill with a winch. Simple solutions are usually the best in the woods

    Sadly it is a subject I know far too much about. Please tell me how the conflict was not a civil war? The media & government called it “the troubles “ but only to calm the population on the mainland IMO and to try and deflect international attention.
  21. Pete Mctree
    It was a dirty full on war - the British have no right to complain about how the IRA acted and vice versa. Yaxley-Lennon or what ever the scum called himself nearly de-railed a huge trial of a grooming gang. A good friend of mine works at the court & his breaking of the court order of media silence gave the defendants lawyers massive leverage. Thankfully his actions did not prevent all being found guilty

    She drank over 7l in 90 minutes because she was off her head - relevant to the discussion ? (unless your getting smashed and partying the conifer hedge away that is)
  23. Pete Mctree
    When working flat out in this heat, I try and get at least 6l into me over the working day, preferably a litre an hour. If you don't have isotonic drinks (not needed all the time), I eat fruit and salted peanuts or crisps as a snack. Helps a lot IMO

    I had an umbilical hernia the other year. Recovery was not quick, but would not have been as bad if I had not been told to cease all activity prior to the op. I sat on my arse for nearly 8 weeks and that made my recovery twice as difficult IMO- the surgeon was not happy with the advice I was given either. Get some advice on exercise limitations ASAP

    You could easy afford these bits and pieces on your day rate surely 😆
