    It is not always the case of a job “cannot be done”, more often it is that it will be much herder, slower (read less productive and profitable) and quality of work may suffer. I choose the most appropriate job for the conditions when possible.

    VAT - they won’t even get a tip 😄
  3. Pete Mctree
    Agreed - two things are guaranteed in life - death & taxes (or something like that)
  4. Pete Mctree
    We taxed fairly across the spectrum of earners- so, the rich paid some as did multi-nationals. Radical behaviour I know 🙃

    It does look super aggressive in comparison to other chains. I wonder how it will cut when it has had the edge taken off it? Square is useless when dulled- full chisel tolerable but only just.

    I really need to move over, however the thought of rebuilding all my saws is not appealing, nor is funding my season of hand cutting when 6 or 7l a day is common.
  7. Pete Mctree
    Be all unseasoned though 😂

    I seem to remember that was after a massive winter storm tore through Scandinavia. The OP is just spamming us with click-bait as usual 🖕🏻

    Looks like a new version of square ground chain, which is 20%plus faster than normal round ground. Really interested

    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
  17. Pete Mctree
    I buy aftermarket air filters - MaxFlow. They are streets ahead of the Stihl ones, but expensive. Remember to retune your saw after fitting one 👍
  18. Pete Mctree
    Just a super deep gob to avoid bore cutting perhaps
  19. 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 🙃
  24. Pete Mctree
    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 😂
