If you can get hold of a scag 48 they are so well built, better than anything in the UK by far. The rotary deck can be changed for a flail also which is very useful. I wouldn't buy anything else ?
-
Running bowline on dismantles, descend on single line if needed, a wrapped cam saver works if you keep a bit of weight in it. I borrowed a multisaver on one large pole one day, was handy and could see advantages, pretty cheap and could pop back up stem after lunch. If you're descending a single line on a friction hitch don't forget to put a munter in a crab on your harness or fig 8 ? -
Yeah that's why I asked, 48 is the biggest I have ever used 84" must be huge. Very handy to mill big stuff with poor access I bet ?
-
84" that's huge!! Do you take it surfing at the weekend?!! Seriously though is it purely for milling? It must flex a lot....must have to use a smaller bar to start cut if felling surely? Have you ever felled anything that needed it? ?
-
I would say that this is probably correct but there's one area where I work regularly and the tpo map still shows trees that were removed 25 years ago and a conservation area was enlarged and not put on the map straight away
-
I don't think you can beat the steel wedges, heavy and make you more careful when cutting but brilliant. I have a high lift steel my grandfather gave me when I first started, still take it on every felling job. Have a few Oregon plastic for smaller fells and have 3 unused Stihl hilifts that I bought last year. I was advised by someone much wiser than me to put two rings on the end, helps stop the splitting. I heated them up in an old kettle and banged them on ?

Anyone but the wife after the last week ? I'm really not fussy.....but Laura Hamilton Susanna Reid Emma Stone

Seen people advertising the holzforma, ready built apparently you can put genuine Stihl/ husq parts in place or carb, coil etc and they ain't too bad, but then you'd spend more and would be less hassle to buy genuine and new anyway....unless you wanted an 076 ?
-
Have used a 2511, on a couple of occasions, would be great for reductions and cuts of 4-5inch, for mainly takedowns and the odd reduction the 360 would be best
-
Ignition coil?
-
I have the 360 top handle saw. It is a good saw for the price, not the best shape to drag round a tree and doesn't seem to have the power of a 200t or the husky 540t. That said on hot summer days I take it over the husky as it starts much easier. It's old school carb. One thing I noticed was that the 14"bar looked/was massive, make sure you put a 12" on it. It's more than adequate for all aerial tree work and has been reliable so far Good luck ?
-
As well as tree work I have cancelled for the next couple of weeks I have 2 fortnightly grass contracts, one at a school and another on a common area in a private estate of 40 houses. I cut them last week but not sure what to do....do I leave them to grow, I have a feeling that three weeks at home will not be the end of this.

Full guidance on staying at home and away from others - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK The single most important action we can all take, in fighting...
-
Yeah, I'm just worried that in my local area people will think I'm a selfish arsehole for not being at home, even though I work alone
-
I just read that. It's an official document
-
And they added or if you cannot work from home
-
Not at all. Just don't think the wording was particularly good, lockdown should have been the word used
-
I was a little confused, it says essential work or if you cannot work from home, I work alone, and can call customer from outside when/ if I arrive. The pm didn't use the word lockdown.
-
I've no issues with the 51 series, great tractors but as you said, not quite the cummins powered mx (they were cummins powered though, just not as refined). They are pretty much the same tractor as the mtx with just a different engine and while the Perkins lump in the mtx is good, it's not a patch of the cummins in an mx, completely different animal 51 was a good engine, but where I worked in my younger days we had two 5150, they were bollock crushers on the road and not the comfiest in the field, did the job though and pretty reliable....other than the pickup hitches
-
Those Cummins mx case we're brilliant, made in the McCormick factory, much better than the previous 51series and the newer crappy maxxums etc. Mtx same with Perkins engine I think

Hard wearing arb tripod ladder recommendation
Husqvarna King replied to orang-utan's topic in General chat
Nope, no staff here. But seriously in around two years my last set had worn holes right through the aluminium and the lower legs were battered, just from resting on the truck/trailer and driving around (strapped on too) -
Viburnum tinus, bet it smells of cat piss or BO ?
