    Not from mine , police will not go on traveller sites as they need armed response , helicopters and a lot of man power...I reported a theft and got the tracker activated on one within 20 mins once and there was no recovery full stop.

    My 560 will not cold start with the brake on I seem to remember my old 372 didn't either, personally I would never even try and cold start a saw with the chain brake on, I think it's ridiculous its taught you should be anticipating the chain moving when starting and in a clear space any way surely??Can not be doing saw clutches or brake bands any favours either.

    Any one know of where to get big dogs for an 880,ours got taken off for milling and lost one, would be handy for this bar.

    Engine carb the same , bar mount and running gear I believe are the only difference.

    There will be people on soon to slate them😄

    From cold or hot? I would not cold start any saw with the break on ,no saw really likes it either..

    I would say a 7.5 tonner cris would get the most out of your chipper.

    Look after them , keeping the blades sharp and rollers helps, productivity and longevity of the machine. We have a 2002 150 that's still going strong , put a new bottom roller in there couple of weeks ago and it's like a new machine .... But very rusty ! Same with jensons if they are abused they will fail spectacularly as well, I saw one break up its fly wheel and bits go through the engine writing it off once another snap its axle in transport.

    Was looking at the RB's a while back if you read the feedback on the ARRSE forum from troops who have worked on and used them it will put you off for life, You will not find not one positive comment.

    One of the guys I sub for has one of the prototypes so used it a couple of times and it's impressive I would say on par with a 190. The grease points are a great idea ,internally it's very well thought out with easy blade change with double sided blades the fans are steel and it has huge Greasable main bearings,double heavy duty springs for the wide rollers. It eats big lumps and crushes branches to feed well. If I was in the market for a machine for bang per buck I would choose it for sure.

    Still going mate. I marvel the bridge at wark it took 6 weeks to build over 100 years ago and in 2014 took 6 months and counting to paint!!

    You could do the social in stonehaugh ,won't open till 7.30 but beers cheap and Albert might make you an omelette if your lucky.. I'll be in after me tea . I'll ask my folks about the barrasford arms in the morning, I have not been there myself but heard them talk about it. If your going to humshaugh from barrasford be aware the bridge is shut in wark so chollorford is the only way across the N Tyne.

    Reduce wind sail.??
  20. MattyF
    The crown in humshaugh ,the rat inn at Anick. More west of hexham the general havelock. Or if you like a good curry the saathi in hexham itself. There's a few to avoid but on a whole most are pretty good.
  21. MattyF
    Don't see the point either.
  22. MattyF
    For a derail .... That's a very tidy site mate, low stumps or have they sunk along with the brash?
  23. MattyF
    There's plenty of machines disappeared forever in the bogs up here.
