Best type c chainsaw trousers for under £270?
Husqvarna King replied to Sam Clark's topic in Climbers talk
Why the £270 limit, pay the little bit more and get the pfanner arborist. They are very hard wearing, comfortable and flexible. Best trousers I've ever had -
Agreed, you could also put a decent ratchet strap or two in place while you are climbing 👍
-
Silky poles good for the big stuff but also use the telescopic wolf garten with a home made push pull hook. Being able to push is very handy and it's useful for setting ropes afar or retrieving them

Lined my old ifor tipper with 6mm stokbord just over 2 years ago, still going strong

Jones were good, especially at the time when Justin was a visitor here, he was helpful and if you mentioned your arbtalk user name you got a discount when ordering over the phone. I wouldn't order from them again now though. I would worry that they'd have my money for months and then go bust. Honeys seem much more on it and with promoting their business, apparently they even splice ropes for jones. That's crazy 🤣

Not sure which part of the UK you are in, but Ernest Doe sell a selection of ash handles to fit different size heads. I have fitted a few from there now.

Haha that will be more than good enough 👍

Cool machine. Also named similar to my dating strategy in my younger days 🤣

I agree with others here, you definitely need to try first, have a bit of a climb before investing in your tickets. And see if you can do a few days for a company. A lot of the social media side of arb shows climbers knocking out big tops and swinging around a big open oaks etc, all the nice stuff when in reality a lot of it will/could be trimming rows of conifers, not being able to see out of an ivy covered tree in the pissing rain, dragging branches up wet muddy slopes and down narrow access ways....I love the graft, but on some days I'd definitely want to be in your office job. Good Luck though, you definitely need to follow your heart 👍

Fibreglass would work, or if you still have the broken piece you could try using a decent soldering iron and melting it back together. Melting thin rods to tie the two together and black cable ties as a filler. Have done similar with good results. Will your mate be happy with a repair though. I new fairing would be better if the rest is in good nick.

Normally been very good with me. Much better than fr Jones have been over the last few years

Dealing with problem staff that don't listen
Husqvarna King replied to Chrissy's topic in General chat
I lined the caged sides of my ifor tipper with stokbord, I was very impressed with the stuff, 6mm thick. I was surprised when she sheets I ordered 10ft by 5ft came rolled up 🤣 very flexible and hard-wearing stuff. Definitely suitable for track mats for smaller machines, guarding a fragile roof or rendered wall, probably better in a standard 8x4 size though. To the OP, I definitely wouldn't use a pressure washer on the render, even if it doesn't take the render off the paint will probably go. Just a brush and soapy water will get the green streaks off 👍 -
I had one of those ama top handles as a back up for my 200t, about 12 years ago, it was pretty poorly made but very cheap, I only ever climbed with it once and really only used it for odd bits here and there on shrubs etc. I thought they were an Italian company but obviously a Chinese chainsaw

Thought I'd comment just for the halibut 😬
-
I seized my 357xp and replaced with 560, it's a good saw but i wished I'd kept the older one too and got it going
-
Although probably getting difficult to find, have you thought about seeing if there is a half decent 357 or 346 used husky around. Harry the cat on eBay was always the go to guy.
-
Yeah definitely don't take any notice of me 🤣
-
I'm definitely no David Humphries, but looks like meripilus and armillaria
-
You've got to upload that to the throw line blues Instagram page with the 'throwline poos' heading. There's loads of throw line and retrieval fails on there but I don't think any as bad as this. Even after a wash it always seems like you can always smell a shitty rope.
-
Definitely pfanner arborist, worth every penny 👍
-
That's good advice, I've never been a fan of the central grease points, blockages, splits etc. Direct is much better and doesn't take much more time 👍

Is this Leylandii tree dead?
Husqvarna King replied to MatP's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Yeah thats Friar Tucked -
How can I make my 201tc more powerful (without porting it)
Husqvarna King replied to Maxd's topic in General chat
Agree with drilling a hole in muffler, but have you thought of advancing the timing slightly. Just take the flywheel off and either adjust the keyway or key very slightly so the magnet passes the ignition slightly earlier (make sure you do the correct side of the keyway). Alongside the muffler hole this should make a difference for very little work. Currently covering my ears waiting to be slapped by spud 😬🤣 -
All for retaining trees but with the speed that will grow and how close that is to the building, I would want that out. Or at a bare minimum reduced and then regularly trimmed in to a nice shape. Thuja will tolerate heavier pruning, unlike leylandii. Not that I would suggest making it into a toilet roll.

I don't think I did much with mine, remember cutting some pop afterward using it and was unimpressed with the speed of cut
