oh and the 5000 xmas trees, 12yrs old never thinned, buyer to clear the site only £250 but you have to clear the stumps as well

the forestry trailer one the county is also up for grabs, a bargin at 99p starting price also i have just found a tw150 tracked chipper with no bids at £1500 four days left, seller has no feedback

Matty have you had a bad relationship with a landscaper in the past that has left you very bitter? do you need to tell the group, let it all out i have just bought myself an argos hedge cutter (dont ask) might go and do some renegade landscaping work

that looks cool, i have been meaning to knock a seat up for a bit now but just not got round to it, might have to do one tomorrow, especially as i have cleared some nice oak today that will just go for logs otherwise

steady, this might mean we actually learn peoples real names

met office are hopeless up here, especially on the long term forecast, i think we have had 3-4days without rain in july its getting very depressing especially as i also run a round baler for hay making, only done 4 afternoons work with it so far this year, bloomin weather

red bull x fighters is on Dave! its amazing what these guys can do on bikes, maybe they should recruit them to help reduce car crime, now that would be a tv program!

i had a giant wood wasp come out a privet hedge i was cutting today scared the hell out of me, nearly fell of my ladder, it was huge and making a lot of noise, i couldnt decide if it was a hornet to start with so took evasive action with the rake and got it pinned down, so i could see it better, fantastic little beastie

we just have an old stainless milk tank with two pallets as a raised floor, will hold 110% of the contents easily and can be drained easily through the bottom plug, and its locked in a shed, it meets the requirements of various farm assurance schemes which are pretty tight normally the only dedicated stores i have seen have been small shipping containers with false floors, roof vents to prevent build up of gases especially if storing fuels in it

just registered for the talks, and so has the wife as she advises on veteran tree management and protected species, if we decide to camp friday night i will drop you an email, going to ring you in the morning Jonesie to order some bits

yep i think i will be ordering a couple of the shirts and t shirts, nice looking kit

i was wondering about 33, has gone from large trees to specialist trees, its one on my list to do, i will also be keen to see what cs50 will be made up of for damaged tree techniques, any ideas Bob, will it be for climbing and aerial work in storm damaged trees

does this mean i will have to use safety chain in .404 on my 084?

i want a little 12v hiab like this on my tailer for loading bigger lumps of timber

probably the best bet would be a garmin gps 12xl, you create a non linear track log then use the calc area function,

D reg peugeot 205 1.1l which within 6months had cooked the engine due to a 10p o ring failing, engine repair cost more than the car was worth but had the head skimmed, carb fettled with and it was a beast, could smoke my mums rover 216gsi easily but didnt have the street cred i needed, so progressed to a peugeot 106xs special edition job, it had a 1.4l 8v engine, low geared box, and i fitted pipercross induction kit, which made it sound like an f1 car, it weighed the grand total of 690kg and was the fastest accelerating car i have ever owned, i crashed it into a tractor head on, on a slippy back road, but just got it sorted and loved it, i want another one. It would eat my mk3 golf gti for breakfast, less said about the golf the better,

i bought my 084 from canada and paid considerably less than £400 but that said it will probably make silly moeny as all the big saws seem to be now, its listed power is a good deal more than the 084/880 though and only just lower than a 090,

i recon about 9150

does it include internet spiders?

applecross pass is awesome, although i must admit to having spend a lot of time up near durness/cape wrath and the walk out sandwood bay is increadible, its a lovely area but a long drive up there,

I have these for on the ATV they are wiley-x xl-1 and have changable lenses, and have a seal that sits tight to your face, either that or as i have mentioned in the past the Uvex ultrasonics which are what stihl re brand as their own goggles, i find when im using the CSM they are very effective and not to bulky to have on when wearing the helmet with the visor down either when strimming etc

ok a little picture thread, I bought this: (sorry about photo quality my camera is on the way out) anyway it was bought as a non runner, after a bit of messing about i decided the carb was the source of the problem, poor photo but you can just make out the lump of blue pastic that was sitting under the metering needle spring, causing it to constantly flood the engine, Once that was solved it ran quite nicely, then I did a muffler mod on it, opening up the exhuast outlet area to about 75% of the exhuast port (i wanted to be a bit conservative as its my first attempt and a smaller saw, so i didnt see the need to go to 85%+) After removing the exhuast I had to drill two holes and then filed and dremmel out the edges on both the exhuast and the mounting plate, the problem with the 346 exhuast is that it doesnt mount tight up to the mounting bracket so once you have drilled and filed the exhuast you then have to use needle nosed pliers to gently bend the outside of the hole you have created outwards so it touchs the mounting plate, I also drilled a hole in the internal baffle as well, as i didnt go to the hastle of spliting the muffler apart, i drilled this hole off center to the exhuast port and new opening so it doesnt have a direct line through, my reasoning for this is that if you push the saw into something bushy like a conifer when limbing and a branch does push the screen in at least its not going to push it straight on/into the the piston I have then just used a small peice of isopon car body repair mesh as a spark arrestor mounted between the exhuast body and mounting plate, just to stop debris entering the exhuast all told took just over an hour with the retune, which i did by ear need to get it on the tacho really now, My first impressions are good, the saw pics up revs very fast, it seamingly cuts faster, the noise isnt as bad as i was expecting its certainly quiter than my 254xp (and less vibes and less thirsty). The fuel economy doesnt seem to have been adversly effected and im very happy, I used an older saw for this effort as its not a very tidy job but now i understand how to go about things i would be happier doing it on some of my newer saws, oh and i cleaned the huge amount of build up out of the exhust port which was probably about 1.5mm deep all the way around the port so far the saw has cut about 2 trailer loads (7ftx4ftx2ft) of logs mounted to my portek log master, on one tank of fuel its great it will go into to timber the full legth of the bar (15") and doesnt drop the revs noticably at all, my advice.....do it!
