    I rest my case:001_cool:
  3. last time i lend you owt- bet you scuffed the heels driving the truck in them too before you gave them to her
  4. There not his AND I still want the back Ed- you better not have trashed them:sneaky2:
  5. I agree. I have 2 200t's but others havent had the time to save to purchase them would be glad of a 2nd climbing saw to finish a pruning job with no doubt.
  6. I agree as somone who learned to climb with a bow-saw and a 254. But why not use the correct tool for the job. It looks an excellent little pruning saw for a good price

    The old ones do have a nasty habit of opening when idiots fill your saws. It's nice getting covered in chain oil huh Ian If you need help sorting the new caps out i think you should ask the nearest 10 year old hehehe
  8. A back up top handled saw with a back handle? That's a sustitute
  9. Gotta love the friendly welcoming attitude you have. Is there not a stone you can crawl back under?
  10. Heat no. With the constriction of the muffler removed it actually reduces the head in the piston/cylinder as the saw can expell the hot waste gases more efficiently. There is going to be a little more stress on the engine, but not that much, as your are not increasing the rpm thatthe saw is runing at but the torque
  11. Looked as crappy as you described it. Was there no scope to pull it over backwards?
  12. Are you refering to the sheath of the rope stretching and settling ? Both of my ropes have done it and if normal on some cordages http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3654
  13. If you don't fully cook the porriage it allows you to eat more with equal volume as it slowly expands in you gut. Works for me as i stopped eating it for the same issue your having until this was shown to me
  14. Fair sized ash there. Good job, looked fun
  15. I like trees, but thankfully i don't get sexually aroused by them unlike tree monkey
  16. How do you know my mum?
  17. hahaha that's ace
  18. For this to be discussed fully I'd start a new thread. There are different opinions and too much to discus in this one
  19. Both my blaze ropes have milked. i just make a habit of drawing the friction hitch right off the end of the rope when I see it happening. Gently however as you you don't want to stretch the sheath just settle it down. Good rope - the problem will not persist long
  20. Out of interest could everyone who has had hospital treatment for a cut with a handsaw post also. they can be as dangerous as a power saw
  21. That's some big timber/trees. What kind of weight were those stems you were cutting?
  22. I replied whilst in a tree, but was with a top handled saw. Good poll, i'm interested in seeing the results.
  23. So no NPTC, then who do you go to as an employer, with a duty of care to train and certify your staff? Or do you just pass them a saw and hope for the best? What if you are a contractor who has to demonstate his competence before he commences work? As for the money, you will find that a small portion goes to NPTC...........
  24. Or how stupid people are who choose not to read there legislation incorrectly? I will support the system as without one we will be in a much poorer position, although it's failings are obvious.
  25. huh? i guess your expert opinion differs............
