  1. Great work Adam ,really nicely done.
  2. Used to pay £100 a month and give the farmer all my soft wood, winning deal!
  3. My newer hardly used 560 has snapped its throttle cable is this an easy repair or do you have to take the saw to bits? Just weighing up doing it myself or trying to get it done under warranty.
  4. Nice tractor jimmay looks tidy get some pics of it in use. How do you find the winch?
  5. That AV spring looks remarkably straight stubby ? How long did that last?
  6. Same as , you can have them both in mark, I'll try and get you a close up tomorrow.
  7. I have brought sections in the past after accidents .. Not the cheapest fix though.
  8. It's going well pete, I'm still going to this saw over the other 560.... And it has not seized yet despite its over fuelling read out.
  9. Sorry to hear this ,All the best in recovering as fast as possible.
  10. Can't believe that bench is intact as well ! I've broken every wooden fence I've looked at this week. Dying Oak pollard/mutilation/monolith from wenesday morning . Job spec was cut and leave and don't mind the fences
  11. It's probably my least liked pro saw of all time ,never had a positive experience with using one unless it was by the chipper, I even prefer the 261 over the 260 but it has a big following so most folks can't be wrong
  12. Industrious bugger wasn't he !
  13. Nice work , pretty sure I saw those dumpy bag pics on the net some were and was wondering how you got them up there!
  14. Good work and nicely put together Sam.
  15. I trust my petzl foot tape
  16. Interesting work, thanks for sharing J
  17. If that's the case your basket filter in the carb will need cleaning I would of thought as well.
  18. What's worse is when they stand over your shoulder with a pair of loppers whilst your chipping giving you nudges every time you put a twig in over 3" waving the loppers in your face and rubbing there hands for potential fire wood ... Even worse if it's there neighbour doing it who's wood hungry and heard you will be there. It still makes me laugh when I hear oooh can I just put this in your mincer??? Always tempted to say no you can't that groundies not here today.
  19. One of the best things He did was tell the story of his wife's father who was a CO at Arnhem , hopefully if he goes he will do more stuff like this, he tells a story well.

    husky 266

    Imo none mate , the 266 is a torquey beast make the most of it pulling 3/8 no bother 👍 24" bar on ripping chain would probably be its Max though.. Can you get skip ripping chain??
  21. Fair enough , when I've been asked to fell on estates I've interpreted that has meant leave them safe as well and would do so accordingly.
  22. Totally agree , I would not be happy leaving like that for some one to sort out.
  23. Nicely done mate.
  24. Don't think there's many people who are going to rig just for the sake of it... Easiest and safest option every time 👍
