  1. I've been running that set up for 15 yrs with no problem. It needs to be installed properly and never flatten your battery. I'm still on the original Landy battery from 2003 as well.
  2. Thanks for posting and keeping us updated.
  3. My 181 does the same. May just live with it as I guessed it was PITA to sort.
  4. I like that as it saves plumbing in a new winch on the Landy when you change models and you rarely are facing the right way when you need it anyway. Got me thinking now.
  5. Wet here on Dartmoor, as usual, so have just done my Self Ass for another year! Yippee that was fun.
  6. My Stihl pole saw fits nicely in my Brownchurch Rack, thats on a SWB.
  7. Well said that man!

    Boots

    I was thinking about a pair of them or similar Altberg make for non chainsaw work. Is it just the sole that wears or does the boot fall apart? Can't you just resole them?
  9. "Common sense"- that would make a good ticket.
  10. It becomes more interesting when more than one person sees something odd, like at the wedding mentioned earlier. TimeberCutterDartmoor please tell us about the "evil spirits".
  11. Check the pipe within the tank, to the pick up filter isn't kinked. Had this problem last week on FS480.
  12. Squash it flat and put in plastic recyling skip at Recycling depot.
  13. It's not that the gardener was in the wrong, it's the fine that was disproportional to the offence.
  14. Thanks for that Treediver
  15. Following on from the thread about valves in Stihl 4 mix engines I looked in the manual for my KM90 and it says to take it to a Sthil dealer after the first 139hours for adjustment or checking. Is it possible to do it yourself?
  16. I think it's common hogweed, it's best cut in advance of strimming with a sickle, removed or left to wilt. One cut at the base knocks it back. I often wear an old army "headover" for neck protection.
  17. Nice case.
  18. Shredder or tri-blade on a brushcutter is best bet. Hit it earlier while its still small. Then 2 or 3 times for a couple of years, then occasionally after that, should see the worst of it gone!
  19. The tank is probably just blocked. Try taking it out and cleaning it through.
  20. Try South West Highways in Exeter. I did a course with them some years back.
  21. Hi Mark

    This is Steve here from the PTI course!

    I got the results today and I failed miserably, I got just 48 points.

    Hope you did better!?

  22. Stihl make a bigger grease tube that works out more economical. Stihl expensive for what it is but I have'nt found an alternative grease that is as good. If you don't regrease on a regular basis it will fail.
  23. TD5 here on Mud Terrains and get about 22-24 mpg. 200 TDI is the most economical but less power.
  24. What about using a short pole saw with a harness to take the weight?
