  1. The local FC office here has to send their people up to Scotland for PA training. It's not like there is a shortage of local providers either.
  2. 550 is a cracking small saw. I use it for stuff up to about 25" for stuff say 6-8" and under it's a little over powered. I use it on a 13" bar.
  3. Didn't know that. They made a great machine.
  4. I think it happens more on modern saws. The vibrations that they're soaking up is immense to get it down to 3m/s at the hands. That engine is around 13000 rpm. Metal gets hot gets cold hot again bashed about and then it snaps. I never broke any on the 346/357 but I've done one on a 550. Saws being blunt and thus leaned on in the cut tends to wear the springs a bit quicker too.
  5. OBM Pro Stump Grinders - OBM machines [ame] [/ame] When i got prices at the last APF they were expensive but it produces good results.
  6. AV springs normally snap when saws are thrown around dropped and bashed around in transport. Then a bit of vibration through them finishes them off. They're a wear part really they actually do a lot of work soaking up vibes which must weaken them somewhat.
  7. That's a very reasonable price since it's a twin pack, might treat myself next pay day. I like the Woolpower stuff it's expensive but it will keep you warm. I think to be honest if its Merino wool it will keep you warm and people won't mind sitting next to you on the way home at the end of the day. Considering all the other layers breath properly too.
  8. Nice bit of felling that!
  9. Tommy roast chicken dinner in Tesco was 4 quid now 2. Good reduction in the Chuck outs. Won't be as good as yours
  10. Smells good mate. Dinner that is
  11. Likewise i've never seen one go there before. I've welded up fingers and pins before but never the rotor mount. You'd be needing a lot of amps to do that job.
  12. That's a serious break. Must of been showing some signs of weakness before hand? Going to need some big rods for that.
  13. Looking good. Is that your roof mount?
  14. You really want Valtra Tran really. 46 would happy sit in a aux tank for a crane but i doubt on its own it would have all the lubricating properties to deal with wet breaks and clutch.
  15. Is that at idle or working revs? We wrecked our pump using the bucket brush as it boiled the oil in the tank! Just be sure you've got enough oil to to keep this from happening.
  16. Was it reduced thanks u1
  17. Thanks Tommy. I have steak. What is U1 having?
  18. I got salt and vinegar. Other flavors were available.
  19. Just got in from work via Tesco. No reductions worth having today Tommy. Had to pay full price for a sandwich. Tyrrells crisps on offer though.
  20. How many specs do you cut just standard firewood or do commercial stuff such as pulp, sawlogs etc?
  21. Next week i think i may go to Waitroes Welwyn for dinner next week.
  22. ref sandwich Bread is malted Tommy it's white.
  23. Chicken bacon and stuffing. On fancy malted bread. Maybe your wife can bring us roast or flapjacks at lunch tomorrow? Then maybe stack some timber so we don't have to do it?
  24. If i bring a sandwich for your wife can i have chicken dinner?
  25. Just got a extra special sandwich for £1.10 rather than £3. Bargain. Might do Tesco reduced section on the way home tomorrow.
