  1. found this post by doing a search and as the last post was 2017 and need to buy a new saw due to theft so will ask now they have been about longer which would you buy 560xp or 562xp ? be mainly using a 18inch bar
  2. thanks for the advice guys checked the throttle cable working properly . yes has the blue ignition coil will take the exhaust off and see what thats like . did notice seems to be using a bit more fuel than normal but not sooting up the plug.
  3. hi my husky 372xp starts fine and idles but only seems to be running at half revs when pull the trigger ? have cleaned the carb put in new spark plug and fuel tank filter . any idea what to look at next ? any help would be greatfull
  4. Hi while out today noticed a rust colour on some sweet chestnut trees and some die back in the surrounding block any ideas what it might be?
  5. theres a few jigs and devices out there for it . a link to one of the videos some friends and members from the green woodworking group took when they come and found me working out in the woods. have had a lot of practice over the years so can make it look easier than it is but just to show what possible with a lot of hours doing this job but be care full as pointed out big risk of kickback when plunging [ame] [/ame]

    New season

    great work as allways graham got my first comp of the season this saturday
  7. would lay it and make a proper hedge of it
  8. the rot in the 1st pic was from a tree that looked healthy when cut down but when cleft rot pith and very brittle the 2nd pi shows some of the stubs that have died
  9. hi i hope this is the right place to post this i have just coppiced a block of sweet chestnut . noticed the odd dead standing stubs but rest of the block looked in fairly good health apart from a bit of windblown . but when i started to cleave the wood into fencing product started to notice allot of rot piths in the timber .and the wood seems very brittle sometimes just shearing straight of even on large diameter bits. could this be phytophthora ? could this be the reason for the windblown as the roots are rotting off ? would this effect the grain in the timber due to the tree starting to die and decay even if the tree looks healthy no sign of ink spot
  10. thanks always trying to improve on what i do
  11. been doing a little bit for a while but started to do a few comps (6) over the last 2 years and trying to get more hedge laying work very rewarding when you see the end results and the regrowth later on . yes its important to find someone that really knows what they are doing . lot of trainers and courses out there that arent worth wasting your money or time on . but lots of good ones and groups out there to depends where you are and what style you want to learn so worth doing your homework and finding the good ones that are out there
  12. in a comp you have 5hours to do it normally around 8 to 10yards depending on the class
