With the exception of slack on here that has been my exact finding of wood turners.

If you want to be a working arborist The Fundamentals of General Tree Work by Jerry (G.F.) Beranek has all you need to know. It is with out a doubt the best book out there imo .
-
Fascinating question ! Care too divulge the answer??
-
I use the petzl and pinto but I think the pinto had a higher rating also it looks good and fits in nice and tidy with the dmm oval.
-
Internally Steve it was spotless , it was snowing up the log heaps when we tested it.

It's the one you gave her mate

My girlfriends 550 after a new oil pump , clutch , piston and ring and light port work, saw already had a muffler mod but was relieved after a chat with Steve about opening up ports to much ,it ran great after ringing up some sycamore.. Pick up and revs still great and no apparent torque loss and should get stronger once the ring has bedded in properly. Can start on the dolmar 166

How did you beef up the rear springs james ??
-
It's supposed to have the der reise map released soon as well as an add on and the only reason I brought this cod ,they really need to do a world at war remake soon or some modern warfare this futuristic stuff is just total bollox. The new Star Wars battle front is a great game !

It's hard to give up the after work drinks and the weekend binges , but for your health it's worth it ! Try and find a routine of some thing you enjoy doing , hope it works out all the best Rachel and Mat.

I remember seeing some huge stumps along that front years back.. Obviously not beech though?
-
Could probably jump higher than a set of telescopic ladders would get you .... Used ladders plenty today as the tree did not lean itself to SRT at all..... the tail of my working rope would of been dunked in this all day !
-
That is exactly my feeling on greasing them stubby,I have never greased any other Sugi bar either.
-
Will rarely take them on site these days as the amount of room they take up and the effort in moving ladders around it's not worth it if your climbing SRT, a decent rope walker system takes is a lot less effort and is safer but they do have a place I guess as much as I hate working off them!
-
I would give it to spud mate to find the fault ,He's also very good at salvaging cylinders and Pistons too if it needs them.
-
I don't ever grease any bar sprocket any more mark , I found you have to keep it a near daily routine as weekly sporadic greasing seems to make sprockets fail quicker from my experience so it's either all or nothing. I found the tech lites bend nicely back Mick, unless they delaminate.
-
You know you jinxed tomorrow though by saying your 880 has ran with out fault!
-
The piston was good but I will use oem rings and circlips just incase they are brittle not that I have any reason to believe they would be but just out of caution and peace of mind but the Saw is still going. Meteor stuff is good but I don't think they are doing one yet for the new huskys.
-
Sent them an email about the bar tips, did try ringing earlier and could not get through.
-
Spud Cleaned the cylinder up and used a red barn Piston with a oem ring on my 560. Is the bottom end intact , you can get complete short blocks for around £200 from memory.
-
On the bright side mark I had to go on a bargain hunt at David dickinsons for the bar , walked away feeling robbed though. Your right, it didn't like one handed on the ground logging but I think it was being over power lines in gale force winds with out UA tickets and one handing at the time that told the auto tune to blow it up.
-
Well three bars in 3 years and the Sugi lasted 3 months so back on the tech lite. And there I was raving about how strong they were last week 😁
-
I'd stick with the truck you know , many over priced dogs out there.
-
I have no idea but the death of an oak tree will usually be a slow one and give it plenty of time if that is the case to develop and it won't rot as badly on the stump as a lot of species
