  1. How big are those Darin?

    Looks bonsai but fair play for target pruning and nice they didn't just cut them in half.

     

     

    These trees are normal Scots pines 20 meters high with about 60 % thining.

    Here's a street view picture from a while back.

  2. step 1: rinse washer detergent draw with very hot water to remove any detergent residue

    step 2: put EMPTY washer on a hot/ hot rinse cycle to wash detergent away

    step 3 : tie 2 ends of rope together and flake loose rope directly into machine

    srep 3 : place nickwax tech wash or other rope specific cleaner (eg beal) in draw

    step 4 : programe long cool (max 40) wash

    step 5 : if desired add rope water-proofer (eg nikwax rope proof) to draw and re-wash following proofer instructions

    step 6 : untangle rope and allow to air dry in cool atmosphere out of direct sunlight

     

    enjoy clean (lighter in the rain if proofed) rope!

     

    PS do not machine wash flip lines, this can lead to accelerated internal corrosion and accelerated flex cycling of where the wire exits the crimp/ crimps that can be hard to detect until.........pop!

  4. I've had 201T for a year now and am going to replace it because I have had enough of it. When I first used it I thought it sounded like a toy and was under powered which is even worse with a big bar on it.

     

     

     

    Can I have some people's views on Echo and Husqy top handle please.

     

     

     

    There will be a 201T on Arbtrader soon!

     

     

    I've heard that the 201 M-Tronic is much better. Maybe you can buy a upgrade.
