If they want to go round cutting off none muslims heads give them back there passports and let them leave , some of the worse I've come across have been second generation, I can't blame there parents though as I honestly believe they thought they had come to the UK to start a better life for there families ... maybe sending there kids of too mosques to get brain washed and receive combat training for jihad while they sat around on the dole drinking probably didn't help.

Felling or milling ? I like felling it , as they usually have clean stems and easy to dress out which is nice if your getting payed by the tonne... not too enjoyable to mill but the timber is very durable.

Rope wrench means you can use a hitch on a single line. Tied with a bow line and long tail makes it retrievable for repositioning with big chogs as well.

I'm in 🍻

Ah cool, thanks for the reply was trying to work that out !

I know many muslims who support and defend the nazis , the first thing they would do is wipe out Israel from the face of the earth if they could. Deporting extreme muslims is not a problem imo , what is bizarre is our home office has confiscated so many passports to stop them leaving the country when the best thing they could do is let them leave and never return to happily live under there black flag and sharia law they seem so desperate for.

Any one in doubt or never met a Muslim go for a walk through in burry park Luton one weekend, it's coming all over Europe it's there aim !

Does any one have a price for the shear ? And a timber grab with rotator ? Also how is the rotator and grab operated?

Rope wrench issue for lighter climber
MattyF replied to JoshFromKY's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Grabbing the wrench so it collapses the hitch works for me on long angles...with a bit of practice you work out how much slack you need , a long loosely tied VT helps as well. -
Could it get better than part 1 ?? That's still my favourite vid of all time then we are hit with this ! Looking forward to seeing more about the device. Thanks for sharing , brightened up my day

Husqvarna technical are my preferred but lack a boot hook and would prefer a tick guard for the summer but been wearing them in the woods the last few months and they seem good.

The gasket should be green ? How olds the saw as the early 560's only had 5 crank case bolts and sucked in there gaskets after 60 hours or so..
-
Yeah I found the double hand ascenders make you blow a bit ! That's pretty much my set up too, find it works sweet.
-
What system you climbing on Robbie ? What ascenders ? Big old beech that looked!
-
Have they changed the clutch on the 550? A parts IPL I was looking at showed one looking like a 560's. Also does husqvarna recommend fitting 3/8 chain?
-
That's what I've done.
-
Well for the last month I've been running my 550 on 3/8 and I'm going back to 3/25 the saw has just destroyed its clutch bearing clutch housing and the clutch has cracked itself , I'm just praying it has not taken out the crank bearing too.
-
461 will be more versatile for felling and milling imo. Get one before stihl have them all fitted with that junk Electronic carb!

It is Mick , most of that tree I did on the 576 swapping to the 395 and later a 880.. I guess thinking about it the 395 could of done all of it but then so could the 576 just more awkward on the timber not suited for either saw.. day in and out I think the 70 cc will make you more money ideally you want both so they don't get burnt out doing things they should not be doing! When I first went self employed all I had was a 288 xp which I suppose is the same as the 390 and a topper the 288 did every thing but wasn't any good at any thing really either.. next step was a 60cc saw then I chopped the 288 for a 395 that was a good medium for a while until I got a 372 .. I would still be happy with just those 4 saws. 020 357 372 395.. get the 390 And fill all the gaps until you make the money !!
-
I have used the 395 with a 20" when my 70cc saws have been down ... the novelty wears off after about 5 mins. Not much you can't do with a 24" bar on a 576 as long as you can sharpen it well.
-
Nice work again Steve , I would of possibly hit that top right a bit harder ? I'm sure you had to work to a spec though ,looked an interesting tree for sure, enjoy working on veteran tree jobs more than any other sort of tree work.
-
Looking very nice 👍🏻
-
Wish I had been using the decomp on even my little 550 last few days which is a bitch to start with it in but if your running 5l + a day through saws consistant stopping and starting destroys your wrists even on small saws.

He's right about a lot of things but not trump , his recent cruise missile attack to me just confirmed he is no different to any other American president before him.

That's how I get around it Ben.. don't really give it much thought once you have your head around it.
