  1. I was watching my mates 280 track on site the other day , I think it was doing 20mph!! … I think our Schliesing is about 1mph if that … can’t say I’m bothered by it much , the speed would be nice but I’m pretty sure I would drop tracks more, the slow speed seems to make you more aware of stumps and obstacles that could de track.
  2. Sounds interesting
  3. Did did you get it sorted ? I’ve looked through my 325 manual and can’t see any guidance on spring settings.
  4. I doubt it stubs … if they do decide to put shotguns on a section 1 it will take a long time before it happens.
  5. Aye I don’t really want to insult him as he’s a good friend though😂 on the plus side the misses seems happy for me to buy another gun so I might bide my time on this one.
  6. Yeah that’s what I’m thinking Mike , I just fancied a 20 gauge in the cabinet.
  7. I don’t think so, guy who owns it likes his 12’s and shoots another 20 , this I believe came from his father…there is a crack in the stock that has been fixed , it feels tight and shoots nice and has ejectors ….don’t suppose I could ask for more but it’s a pretty ugly thing though! He wants £500 for it but it seems really a buyers market out there for older second hand guns.
  8. Does any one know owt about proof marks on shotguns? been offered this old miroku 600 20 bore .. not really interested if it can’t shoot steel though.
  9. If you ordered the spring through a Schliesing dealer a quick call on Monday will set you right. I’ve found Dave at overland extremely helpful with any questions on ours when fitting new parts.
  10. Was that hit Pete or did the chassis just snap?
  11. Some from the last few months.
  12. What I do ty… take a drill and make a hole. Then take a larger drill bit say 9mm and enlarge. And you have a bigger outlet in the area that does not have plastic. Don’t force it as it’s easy to drill out the other side of the exhaust! It will liven the saw up a lot and make your exhaust guards last a bit longer.. don’t look at mine though as I’ve still smashed it to bits dropping it off those long recoil lanyards and had to order a new one this morning off Skylands… still it’s lasted me over 12 months at least instead of melting.
  13. Amarok , I would buy another when mine finally dies… which seems a hard to do fete.. feels far more refined than most 4x4 pick ups on long journeys and with the kids in the back.

    020T av mounts?

    It would certainly explain the shocking state of my hands after using the piles of shit for years , 90’s saw with 70’s AV’s

    020T av mounts?

    That’s the point I was trying to make , surely the 020 AV doesn’t have the same mounts as the 200t 020

    020T av mounts?

    What 020 do you have , the original aluminium 020 or the ms200/020 that replaced it? That parts diagram is for the original aluminium saw.
  17. Once you’re used to them you won’t go back, another plus is it’s easy to drop the trailer off without lifting off a huge valve block for the levers.

  19. Dunno I’m a snob and only use English braids Joe for my rigging 🫣
  20. Another reason to take double braid over 16 strand?
  21. Yep looks like an old Yale climbing line
  22. School trust fined after member of public hit by falling tree branch – HSE Media Centre PRESS.HSE.GOV.UK When your retarded enough to use an old climbing line or something not rated for the job… can’t believe he only got a suspended sentence considering the amount of time and money the rest of us have to spend on gear , training, insurance , loler and all the other endless crap to get on these sites… and he had f all !!
  23. I think of every 30 climbers who enter this industry maybe 2 will still be in it in 10 years time..would be hard to get the experienced climbers to teach the level 1’s anything as there is rarely the time on site.
  24. Any advice given and you will go and do the exact opposite … so I’m out.
