What machine kevin? I spend a day a week on Machinary, trucks and saws ,often wonder if it would be better paying a fitter a day a week as my knowledge is limited... thing is though I’ll know I’ll do it right what I can do other than pay for dubious at best for services that leave machines more prone to failure.

540 is alright to strip down and rebuild I’ve done one with no issues , I don’t find any of the husky auto tunes bad to be honest ,having done a few 550’s and 60’s too. I wish I could say wow echo they are so reliable but I’ve owned and own a few now and they don’t seem to be.

Yep they do feel good in hand , they just feel like they belong .... but I took down a large spruce recently with the last one running ,I had and was going to keep for nostalgia reasons ... half way through I wanted the 540 back on and decided to get rid and put towards a ms400 c

Got on to thinking after the escapade the other day with the hydraulic pump blowing it’s back out again that maybe on an average year the crane is dropping and dripping probs about 15 litres of oil straight in to the floor , not good especially if it’s in concentrated areas where we are processing timber or that a lot of our sites are near water courses. Would like to know folks opinions if they are running or have ran it in there machines ,Especially if they have had problems!

I brought the 660 kit as some thing to do , changed the crank bearings and sills for genuine along with carb boot and fuel caps as there’s leak and it was alright .. sold it after a month or too so will never know how it lasted... Don’t really get why any one would want a 200t or the mythical status they have .. just sold my last running one and any left over carcasses I could find .. they where shit on the day they came out and where just as shit and unreliable in the last models off the production line and possibly the worse vibes of any top handles bar the original 020 it replaced.

What would lock down entail though ? Could you say travel a few miles down the road and go fishing ? Sounds mint to me if so.. I could stay in the yard at home and get enough fire wood cut and not be short like last year , cut a load of larch for the poly tunnel and make raised beds and generally get a load of things done I should of years ago!

What new fighter jet ?

I’m guessing this is clay under the surface and self sealing ? Originally there was a small pond dug for ducks but it would not fill as land drains just quickly emptied it and they could not block them ,so it’s ended up at quite a pathetic size and level to the left and lower is where I was thinking. There was a water course that’s been diverted so I was thinking dig then redivert to it’s original course.

Have you recently replaced or refilled it bill?

Looks great , how long did it take and what equipment did you use to create ? I will be putting in planning for one one soon so just a few hints would help.

I would of thought almost definitely China ,being a Zama carb.

‘The Price of Timber’ WWW.BUTLERSHERBORN.CO.UK Prices for clearfells of good quality softwood are £70 standing and have crept above this for easily accessible parcels with high saw log content. The demand for pallet wood and chipwood thinning Price of standing timber !! I was trying to find a link to where I had read of a parcel going for £90 a tonne standing in keilder but can’t find it now.

Botex 360 should from memory have brackets to mount a chipper.

After owning a japa 700 I would take this any day , we did run a 280 before upgrading again to a bigger posch and in comparison are much more durable to the japa that just buckled . Posch Spaltfix 280 Fire wood processor, Excellent condition, Saw bench, Logs ROVER.EBAY.COM For sale is a very tidy Posch Spaltfix 280 firewood processor. Still has paint in the chamber and on the splitter. Excellent condition. Recently been serviced by Wilson's and not used since ,so is ready to go.

Second hand Posche 280’s for around 6k may be worth a look, far better built than most small processors if you plan on doing a lot of wood.

You could argue though that if Rich American dynasties hadn’t invested heavily in the nazis and German rearmament would they of been able to start the war in the first place ? How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power | World news | The Guardian WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president. Or the panzers role across Europe without the help of Americans with synthetic fuel as Germany had no fuel reserves at all Germany’s synthetic fuel industry, 1927–1945 LINK.SPRINGER.COM Germany has virtually no petroleum deposits. Prior to the twentieth century this was not a serious problem because Germany possessed abundant coal reserves. Coal provided for commercial and home...

My gripes with rings are that if the ropes are not clean it wears them very quickly and you can’t unlike a safe bloc minimalise the shock loading by pushing the block in to the scarf ...pulleys and rings drop .. pulleys make lifting easy

Had a job come in this week with some hat racked trees that we had already priced the whole job for ... for entertaining dealing with some one else’s waste the price has doubled to clear it up.

Spot on with the sayings mate.. Really though Mick I don’t give a Fuck any more for doing folk favours , as you know it costs a lot to have nice kit to do a job efficiently and I’ve seen yours ....and I’d rather chase the work where it’s appreciated than listen to some prick tell me what I’m worth.

Double your price, you owe him nothing !

As Martin says.

Haha [emoji23]

Thanks , should of googled heat shrink instead of rope marking ! Never mind ...

They have sold out ... can’t find any thing similar on any other sites
