The "Fill Partner" looks the same as the system Aspen sells here. If you drop them the oil and fuel separates. If its warm outside the clamp at the top crushes the fuel can due to the plastic becoming more pliable and the Fuel falls off The Alloy that the system is made from becomes brittle and the clamp at the top breaks. Sometimes the fuel just falls off. They are a nice system for the occasional user.But not in my experiance up to the job for everyday use.

Buy "High Climbers and Timber Fallers" by G Beranek and you will desperately want to go and Fell some Red Woods.OR at least knock 100feet off the top of one. That man is a legend.

I was given a couple new saws to Trial and a MS261 is one of them. First impression is that the Saw is heavy for its size.The controlls are in the same format as all Sthil rear Handle saws. The top cover is one peice.To remove this to access the Spark Plug and Air Filter you turn three Bolts half a turn.Its a nice system. The Air intake systen seems very effective.I have been using this Saw alot in the last few days,cutting Logs to length and there was barely any detris stuck on the outside of the Air Filter. The saw has a Decompression valve fitted. The Air Filter is a Circular shape,similar to the after market high Flow Filters some attach to modded Saws.The Filter is removed by rotating it half a turn. The Clutch and Sprocket assembly will be faimilar to Sthil users.The Saw is available with a hand operated chain tensioning system.The one I have now has the more normal screw operated system. The Anti Vibration system is excellent,there are few felt vibrations when running this saw.Good news if the Nerves in your hands feel like mine. The saw came with a 12" Bar and .325" Chain User impressions. I was very supprised with the livelyness of this saw.For limbing and cutting smaller timber the high chainspeed,and power of this saw is supprising. I felt that the old 026 was a bit of a Slug.This saw bears little resemblance to the old 026 in either shape or performance.I feel that this saw fills the gap in performance between an 020 and larger groundsaw,both on the ground and in the Tree.

Ok. I have taken some pictures and am trying to find the lead for the Digital camera

I've been given one of these on Trial. Want a reveiw on it?

Are your Hoses in good condition? If they are old,they may be constricting the water flow.As the water gets hotter,they Bottom hose may become more pliable and squeeze in a bit. If you've had her a while,might be an idea to replace the hoses,after you have pulled the Rad and given it a good clean out.

Open Unless its boxed.Then its boxed,space depends on the size of the box.

I'd be very supprised if its the Engine on the Machine causing trouble in the heat.Deutz Oil cooled engines are used on Machinery that Stacks Sugar Cane in the North of Australia,South Africa and Malaysia. I have worked with Bell Ultra loggers,powered by Oil cooled Engines in 40plus deg.They certainly get hot,but are made to take it.

Club quick. Blood poisoning slow.

Pulling the Bile gland off Chicken Livers when I was 15.

I don't agree with doing that to an Animal. Confining that Cat to indoors for the rest of its life is Cruel. How is it going to dig a hole in the litter box or scratch behind its ear.

No permits.No red tape.Man,Rifle,Back Pack.

Yeah,its a Red. Biggest one that I have seen.Its two back legs without skin and hung for two days weighed 90 Kg.I had to make two trips on foot to carry the Meat off him. I couldn't get my hands around the base of its Antlers.There was a game Farm in a Valley over,they buy in Animals for rich "Hunters" to shoot.He must have escaped from there.

What is your products Gravity in relation to normal Diesel? My Father works at a Uni where they do alot of research into alternate Fuels.The biggest hurdle in maintaining reliabilty and longevity of Modern Diesel Engines is the differing Gravity prior to Asperation. Diesel Pump life,Biological contaminates, ineffective sealing of the Piston rings to the bore with the subsequent dilution of the Engine Oil are the main problems they face when running Engines without extensive modification. If you have copies of the test criteria I can pass them on if you are interested.

I've used either Aspen or the Norwegian Generic Stuff made by Statol for going on Four years. In my opinion only,it extends the life of Saws,Strimmers etc.It seems to burn cleaner.I have opened up Exhausts,pulled Pistons etc and its supprising how little crap there is build up in Mufflers or on the top of Cylinder heads. Its not that more expensive than regular Fuel plus mix.I think its about £380 for 205 liters in a drum.We arn't allowed to store that much so we buy it by the "slab".In 5 liter cans.This is the Statol version. Sthil also makes a version,like the Statol stuff its Green in Colour. The ammount of cutting I do with the Exhaust in a direction that I means I would inhale alot of crap is minimal.Its not a concious decision,its just how you work. I would imagine unburned fuel/oil mix would be alot heavier than the air surrounding it,so it would soon fall downward as it cools?

Years ago I was out yet to bag a Sika Deer. I sat down under a Tree to have a smoke,when I heard a Deer feeding below me,carefully I removed my boots and crept forward it my socks.Every now and then I could see one or more of its Legs under the thick Brush. Crawling forward on hands and knees,moving each little twig out of the way...then when I was only yards away the Deer swung round ,as it sensed me. I lept up almost into the face of a Yearling Stage,threw the Rifle to my shoulder,pressed the Trigger...............CLICK! Empty Chamber.

I got one sent over for a Climber we had. Its very well built and very comfortable. Like alot of Cougar's I guess.

Here Steve.You can have these for nothing,but you can't sell them to Training Organisations etc.

I am a greedy employer.

Yes. String Vest,Mirrored Sunglasses and Tash!

They are MY Hot Pants. No,Brodie will have to bring his own.

If I paid you £11.50ph and you got to stack my kitchen shelves. Would we have a deal?

I've been looking for my "jorts" since you left Josh! You know my address,send them back please.

You could load the Landy and Trailer as freight in NewCastle and then fly over.Thats the only way I have heard of doing it directly to Bergen these days.
