Not sure mick I may be talking crap but I think it was not ce marked for a while but every body wanted it. I'm not entirely sure what the rules are regarding hitch cord with tied eyes instead of spliced for loler as I know some firms who won't let there guys use any thing but ce marked loops and made eyes and they are triple the price of a length of cord .... I suppose that is why the zig zag will do well.

Roblon and Sirius bite well but don't last ,the lime green armour prus is almost indestructible but slightly stiffer and harder to set with less wraps so there's a compromise. Tbh I have not used any thing but armour prus since trying it as I can burn out a length of the first two mentioned within a week.

Do exactly the same ... My groundy can not physically do it though as he is too muscle bound from rugby training or so is his excuse !

A pretty good deal for £150 and they come with two different size gaffs! I had some Honey Bros own brand spikes many years ago which where pretty dire and had a round gaff but these look very usable.

Husky parts are usually super quick ... I find if not its down to the dealer not ringing them.

Personally I seem to bend and split all of the above within weeks so would say the Arb trolley if you have the cash.

Called out to a large wind blown pear today nice long straight trunk approx 3ft diameter 7ft to first limb and a nice straight secondary the rest looks fire wood will cut off stump tm to see if it is sound if it is, will it be worth milling ? And knocking money off the job for the decent timber.

Im pretty sure those ideas have come from a book I'm reading called "feral" by George monbiot and it's giving this argument to re wilding Britain... I quite like the idea tbh.

Any views on Stihl MS 150 TC ultra light top handle saw
MattyF replied to NickinMids's topic in Chainsaws
Its good in the right conditions it's basically a chainsaw lopper ... I am in two minds about it on reductions though its light and easy to use but I have found it really inflames my tennis elbow although it is light you apply to much pressure to make it cut if that makes any sense! Also the potential to tear branches is higher as it won't cut fast enough to chase a cut in some heavier wood. -
Can you explain why I went through 6 carbs on the last two 200t's I brought then ? Before that they had issues with the fuel breather snapping off they always have issues with the earth wire breaking and the chain brakes snapping and the anti vibes are medieval.... then there was the exhausts that broke when you looked at them and the air filter covers that magically disappeared in the earlier models ... 200t was frustrating and never had the torque of its older brother the Aluminium 020.

Is this Fransguard winch any good?
MattyF replied to doobin's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Mmm make them an offer ! I don't think you would loose money on one, but that other igland was cheap!
