I went for the 560 in the end, little beast of a saw, on a par with the 254 imo.

Very nice work, both the carving and the video.

Even if she is, you'll never find her in a shirt that size.....

Might be worth spending the extra on a top notch bar then. Not sure I'd want to do much milling with a 42" on a 660 myself, if you do make sure you use plenty of bar oil and take it slowly, its a big ask for that size of saw.

Rob D has one in stock, a Cannon at £250ish, and no plans to get any others. Heres mine wearing its new bar.

Yes, hardest part is finding the bar, I'v just imported one from Germany, looks pretty solid but havent given it much abuse yet.

International Society of Arboriculture Sounds a bit like QTRA.......

Undo the bolt, reuse original nut. Check its still there before each use, wouldnt worry about torque setting. The non-removable bit is just to distinguish it from the type with a pin rather than a bolt.

Now up on ISA website International Tree Climbing Championship

A fear of heights is irrational. A fear of falling however is both prudent and evolutionary.

Yes, I still have one. You can stand the gate on the nose every time, but they are perfectly safe when used correctly. Lots of them got failed for it though.

I think you'll find its spelt pernickety.

Does firewood actually dry in cord form?!!!
Peter replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Firewood forum
It does dry, not so quickly as cut logs. If you can fell and leave for a few weeks before snedding out the leaves will pull a lot of moisture out of the wood. -
Fit a decomp valve?

Canter is much bigger (and heavier) than cabstar. The 3.0 cabstar made around 2005 is a little beauty though.

You obviously haven't read the story. £5m to buy the site, and pay for the next 20 years of work, including creating 30 miles of footpaths. Sounds like a bargain, although whether its necessary or desirable is another matter.

This is an FJ Cruiser...

Sure, if your business is producing a timber crop. If your business is a service to individuals or organisations, and removing timber or woodchip is a part of that service, its a different story. Firstly, tree surgery is not forestry nor is it agriculture. Secondly that just reinforces my point that there isnt a blanket exemption that covers everyone involved in cutting trees, you need to look at what you do and whether it is covered or not.

This has come up a few times now, the short answer is it depends what your drivers are doing. If you drive truck to site carrying tools required for your job, do the work and drive straight back to the yard, then you dont need it. If you deliver anything to a third party, ie logs or woodchip, then you do need it. If you go to site, load straight up with timber, and run it back to the yard, then you need it, as the main purpose of your activities is to haul materials. If you drive truck to site, do the work and haul a load away at the end of the day, then you may or may not need it depending whether you consider arisings (logs, chip, rakings) to be "materials required for your work" or not. Hope that helps.

Or hauling valuable loads of mulch and firewood for resale......

That looks really smart, like you say the build quality has come a long way.
