  1. The good old days. You can go to an unattended supermarket one and crack on if you can find one. However or local Tesco Sainsbury's and she'll are on it. A little man will be either wandering out or coming to look at your can. Then saying it needs to be green because it's petrol.....
  2. When did you try it. It use to give me a headache and it did to a few people. Must of been around 2015 it got reformulated and I've not had a problem since. Motomix smells different as it has hp Ulta as the oil and there own blend of fuel. Then Husky one is their xp oil in some sort of fuel. Don't know if it is aspen or their own blend of fuel
  3. You would think. Our local petrol station have to come out and check your containers to make sure they are approved. Then you can have no more than 10 litres in plastic or 20 in metal. Had a arguement about combi cans with them once.
  4. 100% Another plus point of Aspen is you can get in in a pallet of 54 cans or a 20l drum or 205l drum. This means you don't have to deal with the nonsense of having to fill fuel cans up at the petrol station.
  5. Another vote for just using Aspen or motomix. Couldn't go back now just on the.non smelly fumes alone. No faffing with fuel. If your a part time user it really is the way forward.
  6. I will swap my 540mk3 and 542i bar around and see how it goes. I love my 540mk3 use it more than my 550 now, unless it's cold.
  7. My 540mk3 has the 3/8 lopro on it. I really like it. Not tried it on the battery yet. Im going to swap my 540mk3 to .325 1.1mm see how that works.
  8. I've also got a 542. Rear handled not top. It's my go to ground saw and chipper saw. I've got the new 330bli batteries which seem to run it better than the regular bli300. My gripe with it was after about 10 hours of trigger time mine died. Luckily Husqvarna replaced the clutch, motor and trigger group as they couldn't work out why it died the way it did. My first issue with a battery tool. I've got Speedcut nano on it rather than the husky sp21g which I don't like. Sp33g that came on it is a bit hard on the battery but I do like the wider kerf cuts. Much more life on the battery with the mini .325. I really like it, I think the bare unit was 630 quid and I've got the battery's for the hedgecutters and polesaw. Its a bit more ergonomic than the msa300 but I'm not sure it would win in a timed cut test.
  9. Is your trigger ok. My 520 has a trigger that doesn't work very well.
  10. Is that the 535 brushcutters. I've used mine with the clearing saw on which is good. I've only used grass blades and the tribade on bramble. Does it run the mulcher blade well.
  11. Have you tried treevolution or H W training. A 4 hour trek from you but they might know of someone local to you or be able to send you someone to you. I can do the NPTC refresher units but your 500 plus miles from me which would make it a little cost prohibitive for you.
  12. What units are you looking to refresh?
  13. I use cherry blossom I think it's called. You can pick it up in the supermarket for a couple of quid. Not as good as guardsman gloss from kiwi. I've got home haix active polish for my new boots but not used it yet
  14. Total Harvesting in Australia. Have international blokes from time to time. The locations can be remote but they do have sites all over. Many years ago I was offered a job forwarding there. UMP have operatives from time to time. Instagram is a good way to make contact with American and Canadian loggers to look for work contacts. In most of the world you would be looking for logging jobs if you want to be on the tools and a forestry job if you want to get into timber crusing. If you want to be a BC faller then the certification is very expensive and a long process
  15. I had a pixel 6 and recently upgraded to a pixel 8 pro. My next phone will be another pixel. I love the pure android experience. No complaints. Love the camera in it.
