I was still waiting on a small order from last September, that I had chased monthly. **************** sake
-
Sorry to hear that Nigel. Hope you manage to get it back. Bastards need their hands chopping off!! You weren’t the “Bald headed batty” from Writtle college 2000??
-
Give the carb a thorough clean and maybe order a carb kit for it, should only be a few quid bet that’ll sort it 👍
-
Not sure but was told by a loler course instructor. He was moaning about companies sending out climbing rope off cuts with no details on, a few years back now.
-
I thought if you strip back a metre of the outer sheath you will find date of manufacture apparently. I’ve never wanted to waste a metre of rope when I’ve bought the off cuts but I know that rope does have to be marked up nowadays.

Thanks for that, found a couple of parts diagrams and see what you mean, there was no sign of that on the machine I’m looking at but it hasn’t been used for a long time 👍

Looking over an old dolmar disc cutter for someone, it runs but has a fuel leak. Replaced the fuel line but the leak appears to be from the part pictured which screws into the tank (it didn’t have an o-ring, this was added to see if it sealed. Does anyone know where I can find the part. There’s no number on the machine. But it’s the same red and black and similar size and age to a 166 dolmar chainsaw. Thanks in advance

Best advertising methods for a new company
Husqvarna King replied to biggimmer's topic in General chat
Word of mouth is the best way, make sure you clear up well, that’s generally what is remembered by the customer. Give good advice even if that means talking yourself out of an unnecessary reduction. Might not seem like the best thing for your business at the time but it builds trust and generally will leave that customer only coming back to you. ps. I have done this and then the following week seen the caravan club smashing the shit out of the poor birch I told the lady didn’t need touching 🤦♂️🤣 -
When I worked for myself I had a 10ft 3 adjustable leg Hendon/ workware tripod that did the majority of the hedges, superb ladder. I cut a swimming pool noodle float for the top two rungs not only did this cushion my shins but also protected the ladder from chafing in the truck/trailer. I also used the single leg 16ft tripod for Treework. Very handy but not really needed from the start. For smaller hedges I had a little giant style youngman ladder. This was useful as when not extended you could comfortably stand on the top 4ft next to a hedge and have a wide footplate of the four rungs and work without twisting . Had wheels so you could drag it along to next section of hedge without having to put the hedge cutter down. Was fairly heavy and not practical on unlevel ground but could be extended to 8ft as a step ladder or folded out as a straight ladder which was useful at times.

Are the springs ok?check for crap in the roller sliders as above and grease
-
I thought the exl was the same but a longer cutter/top plate so lasts longer
-
I hope you did some narrow trenching with his saw before you handed it back 🤣
-
Tmk 200 will work on a 2.7 ton machine and can still be towed behind a motor. Just need to know the limitations
-
Yeah they are great but you can't change the angle of the cut so only really work well on side branches
-
I agree that ladder and secateurs/silky will give the best job but how about the fiskars telescopic pruners, or similar?
-
Pretty unfair to call it a Bartlett's fell.........they didn't put their pull rope that high 🙈🤣
-
Haha rig big or go homo 😂
-
I'll look into that, thanks, kind of didn't want to fill the soak away with chemicals but I suppose if it's every 5 years or so it shouldn't be that bad.
-
I was always told to use resiblock22 but it was over 10 years ago that I did the drive and I never got round to it, they have faded badly now 😬
-
Thanks for the reply. Agree with the cheap sealer, I have often heard that it is terrible. I have a aco gulley drain across my drive and any washed out sand will just end up clogging my soak away. That's the main reason I don't want to pressure wash.
-
My block paved driveway is starting to look a little tatty with moss in the corners etc. I don't like using a pressure washer as it takes out too much of the jointing sand. The hand held scraper/wire brush with a long handle does the job but it takes ages. Would rather use mechanical rather than spray/chemical wash. Has anyone used a nylon or wire brush on a strimmer before. Was it any good? Was thinking of trying something like this on a Stihl fs90r

I'm husky through and through and I have to agree, having worked on a few of their hobby saws and they are wank. Not done much cutting with them but things like the chain tensioners, the 'chocolate bar', everything about them is cheap crap. I'd try and push my budget for a pro saw or look at pro second hand saw before buying one of the hobby saws
