  1. Ben, did you log the limbs? In the pic it looks like it. I have a few tons of walnut but nearly all limbs, still got plenty of black in them, but the tree sounds similar to yours-whole root ball shot and most of the stem.
  2. I like that one, probably because its the same at ours:wave: Will post mine when i find a decent pic!
  3. Everyone keeps saying the same but think someone ought to tell BBC in our area; http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2160
  4. Oh, and good look with it Jamie, looks like you could make a career out of it- nice to do something you are interested in and make a few£
  5. Just stick some insulation tape on for the short term mark, easy to inspect also.
  6. My brother just had a side swipe in his navara too, an old dear didnt stop at a give-way, it took out front corner, wheel, sidestep and all panels down one side, and, the airbags didnt go off! When i asked him what the old dears car was like he replied with one word...........you can imagine!
  7. Cant believe he works for free! Sounds like he was trying to shaft me- said he would work for me for £40 a day:008:
  8. Charlieh, i have my 192t muffler modded, i followed instructions someone put on the treehouse, i think it might have been the mighty uncle Al Smith. Not much to it, if you get stuck i can tell you how i did mine, but, i hope you threw out the spark screen anyway?
  9. Sounds great arborist, will depend on price though, just found out my brother is going to orlando at easter...............bit reluctant to bring me a saw though, said he wanted to fill suitcases with clothes and shoes:heeeelllllooooo:
  10. Sure treemotion, great saw, trouble is its not available in UK. List is $299 US retail but i paid £300 three years ago! Not found French or Dutch price yet. Lancstree, this is the top handled saw, small brother of the 200t. The micco mini bar/chain that the 192t comes with does have a slightly more pointed tip, but its not really a carving bar- in fact i wouldnt use it- just fit the same set up as the 200 has.
  11. Sure Pete, could send her for the saw while i go sight-seeing:wave:
  12. Not had time lately to do much checking pete but a trip to holland is a cheapie at the moment- around £40 per foot passenger return. Obviously the saw would be the only reason for going:drunk:
  13. Dont really know about price over there Jay, suppose i can contact some dealers. Cheers.
  14. As treejumper said, great, ive had mine 4years now i think, put same bar on it as 200t as the mini picco chain is crap supplied with the 192. Mine also has a muffler mod with the spark screen thrown away, giving it lots more power. Its never going to be as powerful as a 200 but its far, far easier to use for pruning. Adam, dont buy one instead of a 200, get one as well as a 200! A saw for every job!
  15. Nice one mate, walked into that i suppose!
  16. Cheers iain, recieved and mailed back.
  17. Nice to see mark, reminds me of the days haymaking when i was a lad!
  18. Think its perhaps a common thing, recon i`ll need a new hip in next couple of years:scared:
  19. Take note fallas next time you take the mikky out of a fat bloke:wave:
  20. My 192 is getting on a bit now and im starting to worry about it letting me down. For those who are not familiar with this saw, to put it briefly, mine gets more use than the 200! I have also been asked by a mate where can we buy them from. So the question is, does anyone know the best way to get hold of some?? Also another thing is, if we get them imported without going through a dealer, does the warranty still stand?
  21. Great news Iain, does that include chips, rakings etc? Any chance you could post the letter so we can all run a copy off to keep in the cab?
  22. Just a sneaky snippit for you Anna, totally NAKED;
  23. A saw for each job, i have had a 192t for a few years now, great saw, i WILL buy another! Thinning, lifting, dead wood, any pruning bits -great! It will never be as powerful as the 200 but ive opened the silencer and thrown the spark screen-its a massive difference!
