  1. The rooting/budding hormones are sensitive to gravity.
  2. 14in ok for pruning as the extra reach is always usefull, but when it comes to wrecking out trees go for a 12in if your not running a ported saw. It gives far better chain speed & performance. I presume wear on the engine would increase using the longer bars
  3. You have no manners windfall. If I insinuated that your mrs did dress like that you would probably go postal on me. Not funny dude
  4. A good grinder & carefully operator will consistently produce the best cutting chains. Especially noticeable with longer bars. I would not prepare chains for milling any other way if I still had one
  5. In a nutshell - yup!
  6. No right to protest when things are thought to be unfair (decided by ballot)? Strike is a necessary tool without which the opinions of the masses are no more than hot air. Not to be used at a whim but when needed a legitimate peacefully form of complaint. It made me laugh when the government said we could not afford a national strike last year - guess it spent all it's money on a national holiday for the royal wedding?
  7. Same as that. Got to be a change in timing
  8. The tree is in decline & the signals are indicating that it may be hazardous. I would recommend removal sooner rather than later
  9. chain binders, wratchet straps galore & see how it responds before you make a decision
  10. Nice job Reg
  11. Nearly beer o clock & I am looking forward to a night out with the family
  12. Depth of sink cut has little influence on this. Dimensions of hinge & failure to reduce side weight are the pertinent points
  13. Been playing with a 200t a little bit. Not noticing much in the way of gain post porting the exhaust. Guess Stihl did not leave much on the table when the produced them
  14. I really enjoyed that
  15. You could get some caddy pads for your existing spikes or buy new ones if you choose. May have to import them from somewhere like wesspur but they are very comfortable
  16. Hahaha. I will step out of this thread of fantasy & make believe now as you are obviously going to waste your life with your pretend god. Bye bye
  17. Nope - praise paddington bear. He would be a cool make believe friend !
  18. What are you expecting to pay?
  19. 460 is a powerfully dependable saw. Would serve you well
  20. In my interpretation of the wahr, you climb the tree & use your rope for positioning. If we did anything else we would have to adhere to different legislation. Get the drift of what I am saying? It is sometimes equally important to think about how we say things, not just what we say
  21. Tim, are you climbing the rope or the tree?
  22. Now you guy's are all climbing & working srt, then do you think there are other protocols to follow like the IRATA climbers. 2 ropes for example?
  23. I wish there was no religion in the world as it would be a better place for all - even the insecure who think they need it
  24. Yale blaze in bashlin colours, was called inferno & imported by fletchers
