    new helmet

    The alveo is worth a look it's the lightest out of all the lids on the market I have had.... Owned the vertex ,edelrid ,protos and stein plasma and its between the protos and alveo that I would choose but with the the alveo you can put decent MSA ear muffs on.
  2. For TKO Mistakingly I put the bearings in with a package for spud but the cranks all there genuine and unused.
  3. Did they go out side last year?.
  4. If you had four 200ts it would be a miracle if they all worked as well. I used to bring in my own 200 so I would not get lumbered with a dog, should not of had too but there was always saws that never ran right, if lots of people are using them unfortunatly that is usually the case.
  5. Easiest money to make is in tree surgery.
  6. Found a big difference in comfort using a 560 with a 15" over a borrowed 261 on a 16" so I'm after a new small saw .. I would go with a 13" interesting no ones using one! Found the 261 handled nice and can use all day but lacking a bit of power.
  7. Interested to hear what size bars people are running on what saws for felling and snedding and a comfy productive day in the woods. Dolmars stihls and huskys as I'm trying to narrow down what I want on one. Cheers
  8. J's about right on £28
  9. Would love to build one ,if I had the skills ,Time and money, you could pick up a lwb 4 door barn find and build it for under 10k I recon.
  10. Ain't that the truth Stevie!
  11. Yeah I remember that ..... My way would of worked if I had not missed a bolt.... Very important that josh !!
  12. Any body have experience with the avant 320 skid steers?
  13. Splitting the crank is the one hey Steve!
  14. Haha possibly so, give us an update in a few months Darrin.
  15. Those winches for them look a great idea as well and take a lot of strain out of milling. Thing I always hated about chainsaw mills was sucking in the exhaust fumes and dust as your right by the power head, band saw milling was a very refreshing change.

    Ms150t

    I usually ring up FR jones for my spares, last 150 handle I brought off them was about £20 cheaper than one I brought off a local dealer previously as well. 👍
  17. Was reading an interesting thread on tree buzz about how just removing dead wood on pines can make new wind tunnels and cause wind throw and lost branches.... I recently dead wooded one of the bigger Scottys by the house for a Rec climb tree and it was the only one to loose big limbs in the recent storms...I've seen on other pines that have been worked on over the years as well. Maybe thinning/tip reducing them after a dead wooding is not a bad idea.
  18. Didn't look like there was of foliage to begin with.
  19. How big are those Darin? Looks bonsai but fair play for target pruning and nice they didn't just cut them in half.
  20. Nice work,Looking forward to some more.
  21. 560 576 395
  22. Happy days tim, short n sweet .
  23. Not really,any of the above as Pick ups are work trucks .....crew cabs may fall in your category's though.
  24. Aye it was a monster tree I saw some pics and the tree report with the picus findings , I was tempted to come down and do it for Fred as he didn't have time to do it and had to sub it out and offered it to me but its a long journey!! , told him to use matey to shift it as Paul always wants the timber if it's beech. I will get on that at some point tm then mate.
  25. Can't wait looks great progress so far, good thing you have some nice beech to bring the auto tune in to check on . Do you want me to order an oem ring for the piston ?
