  1. That ruined my evening, so I signed it
  2. Me too. Too much haste is often an issue. I try & be gentle on a chain brake (when I do use it - I do try) so when I need it to work it does
  3. Cleared cache & problem seems fixed
  4. When I use the unread posts button, it loads & then constantly reloads the page I'm on chrome & windows 7
  5. I love my hitch hiker & hate climbing srt. Bit of string & a pulley or a bit of ART gear & enjoy the 2 to 1 advantage......
  6. The stetson is a hard-hat (of sorts). Big trees - nice job by Rog & crew
  7. NGK - I class them as an item to be replaced frequently. It is my first action for a troublesome saw. We are, however, having more issues with the top coming off so I am looking at other options at the moment
  8. 20k if you want the top drawer
  9. I like synthetic - easy to handle, light & even floats. Super strong but obviously not as abrasion resistant. Decision down to frequency of use & care
  10. Timberwolf still sell flawed chippers. There reluctance to fix the rotar bearing issue - only saying that they should be replaced frequently at the owners cost in both downtime & hard cash, shows a non progressive & a refusal to fix what customers request. They did produce good chippers.......
  11. I have had one for over a year now. Very impressed as it performs consistently & kicks out far more heat than you imagine
  12. The issue of updates will only be relevant post accident or incident. The investigators (either insurance , HSE or both) will have plenty to say if they are not in place. It can easily be done by either a days training or achievement of further units. Not bad every 5 years compared to a lot of industries
  13. The old VW at Castlemorton, hope you weren't the one with the deep cut on the foot...that was messy for me, and I was quite battle hardened by then:001_smile: Nice derail... Was one of the few not at castlemorton:lol:. Nice old vdub
  14. Hope it works for you
  15. Nice Steve, great to see contented dogs
  16. Loving it today. Cold clear & sunny
  17. Looks nasty Mathew
  18. Fun & wrestling with Bear
  19. After doing similar with the 1st one, I have only done the exhaust mod. Best gains by far (& they sound fantastic )
  20. Do you find a difference in performance ? Never used anything but NGK
  21. I would also avoid Working below the stem. Lifting a knee & bracing yourself against your strop with it can help
  22. Race you
  23. if he chooses to buy husky does he have local dealer support?
  24. I would use a fishermans or similar cinching knot over a bowline or fig 8. Helps keep the krab orientated correctly, reducing the chance of side loading & is just tidier.
  25. Bad news Ian. Sorry to hear
