I'm running stihl hp super and it's measured with the stihl sqeezzy bottles . ms150 did it badly until I drilled a larger exhaust hole ,then loads of liquid started coming out!! Guess the exhaust was so restrictive it can not escape and the gas turns to liquid before it has a chance to exit, the spark arrestor would cause the same.... I could be talking bollocks though but I never noticed it on my t540 that I did take the spark arrestor out of straight away. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Take out the spark arrestor.... But all saws do that it's worse though when the exhaust flow can't escape like on yours because the arrestor is still in. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Sorry to hear that.. What part of the country are you in ? Really right now I have had enough of the uk it's got beyond a joke, even if the police had there hands untied I don't think it would stop the volume of thefts in are gear ,they won't go near certain elements of are society.

someone told me a much quicker way to rig but is it safe?
MattyF replied to samiad's topic in Rigging and roping
How bigs big?? The rope in that vid looked like it would give up before a big dan and half hitch combo would. If ever I have snapped a lowering rope it's been on the first half hitch that its failed, IMO you can go pretty large before reverting back to say a timber hitch. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -

MattyF replied to samiad's topic in Rigging and roping
I rig a lot with a big dan steel krabs with a half hitch in front if shock loading a piece , how tom described with slings works great as well but tbh I would not want a screw gate in there as it's a fiddle doing it up. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -
I don't know any body who would make a claim for one saw or a climbing kit ... It's not worth the excess or premiums going up the next year. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Thing is I'm moving a load of walnut , yew and elm out of my work shop now , when you take in to consideration the rent of it being stored there its probably worth more as logs , if I had a saw mill now I would be making loads of fence panels and chucking them out at £40 a pop and they would be selling!

Juniper looks interesting when it's milled and carved as well! The juniper is in the middle. I was not overly impressed with alder in a wood I used to manage ,it grew to quickly dominating and killing off the other broad leaves planted , lots died off naturally falling and damaging the surviving trees of other species it had not smothered and a lot grew badly formed and didn't respond well to formative pruning rotting quickly and it suckered like crazy when thinning attempts where made, I would plant it but very sparingly if I had to design my own wood.

Another Query - Chainsaw Trousers / Ballistics
MattyF replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
Have a pair at the moment, had to take out the combi spanner holder for climbing and they are just starting to fall apart now at 6-7 months but at 99 you can't go wrong really. I will get 12 months out of gladiators but they usually are torn to pieces on the side I have a saw hooked on my harness. The tear proof material really makes not a great deal but they are ok I would still opt for the stretch air arborist or sipps progress over the gladiator though. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -

Lease hire is a good option for tax benefits but the machinery needs to be near new... I tried to a lease set up on a 26 year old mog chipper crane combo a few weeks back and it was refused on the grounds it was to old though so your limited. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

If you over load a screw gate krab ie tie to a tree and pull with a truck the gate will always face inwards, but you can still do the gate up if needed.. Just don't get it caught rigging as unlike a caritool that will snap it will drag you out of the tree but in those sort of situations you can still lock the gate if you have a line running past your saw side.

Now it is your machine martin ... I imagine you will not be chipping the sort of crap like the previous owners that causes this sort of damage. change the blades after gravel drives or once a month other wise and you will easily get 600 hours out of bearings and fins mate. They are good machines !! Don't forget to change the anvil !! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
