    I would say 30,000 to 40,000 Kilometers. I paid £685+VAT for 24 one a couple of months back. (that was fitted)

    AHS will only be interested in a large amount, so they won't come to site and chip a small amount, if you have a large amount then get a timber wagon in at the buyers expense. As for the processing, I was commenting on the pic, if you got AHS in to deal with freshly felled stuff that meant you did not need to process it, that may well make commercial sense, but I was commenting on THIS case. Obviously people are free to do whatever they wish and I was only expressing an opinion

    The point I was making is that the fire wood market has completely changed in the last 12 months. I have 50 tonnes of Pop and Laylandi going out the yard next week at £20 a tonne. All timber NOW has real value.

    I could sell any amount of timber like that for £30 a tonne, AHS came and looked at my timber and offered to come chip it, remove the chip and give me £0 for it. I have since sold ALL I had for £30 a tonne and could sell a lot more if I had it.

    Not sure how chipping it is quicker than getting a timber wagon to take it to your buyer????????

    Looks like a waste of good fire wood, unless AHS have started paying £30 a tonne.

    I only ever use the Michelin XM47's They are very expensive, but really do make a massive difference, they are very tight on the bead so can be let right down when going off road. I often read that some think mogs a crap off road, the tyres you chose makes all the difference. If you don't have tyres that you can let down, they just end up full of mud and then you have NO grip. If you let the tyres right down the mud falls out as the tyre flexes.

    They have only just stopped doing the ms200, if you ring round some places may still have one or two.

    We must do what we can, you can find fault with any method of improving security, but if we just throw up our hands and surrender the scum bags have won. I applaud this and any other way of making the lives of those leaches on society's live a little harder, if using this just gives them one more thing to worry about and makes them sleep a little less easy then that worth the effort!!

    Unfortunately the ms200 is no longer available, I'm sure the parts still are, so you could convert your own, but that would work out even dearer.

    I've never liked them. The old ones used to fall apart, the visor etc. The husky ones are far better, IMO.
  14. skyhuck
    That would make me puke and theres no water. I prefer the first one.
  15. skyhuck
    That looks like fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:

    I was husky for 15years, then the guys on here convinced me I should have a chinstrap, now I work with an unpleasant stink from the chinstrap if I don't wash it every 2or3 weeks. I'm gonna get me a new husky and save the petzel for "special" days.
  17. skyhuck
    Whats the chinstrap like?? I have a petzel vertex vent, its OK but the chinstrap gets rancid real quick.

    So its not the New England I used to use, I did ask earlier if it was. I ain't no rope geek, in fact I don't really take much interest in gear. I find stuff I like and stick to it. I don't even know what chains my saws use, I go to my dealer and say "give me some chains for my 66 or 44 or what ever. Is this "Tacyhon" stuff less bouncy than the old stuff???
