Will, you could try starting a new thread here about your problem. it's derived from the Poulan Pro 505 so you might find someone who'd be happy to mail you the part from the states, very helpful forum when it comes to saws. https://www.arboristsite.com/community/threads/jonsered-2083.148464/ .

Anyone know if Non CE Cougar Blue the widest diameter static rope available? Really great rope but would prefer it wider diameter even if it meant a heavier rope.

Good piece by Douglas Murray on Tommy Robinson's arrest. Fair and balanced. https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/05/tommy-robinson-grooming-gangs-britain-persecutes-journalist/ .

Douglas Murray has made this point a few times over the years.

23,000 Islamic extremists living in Britain, but it's ok, because the guy who talks about them is in jail. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/huge-scale-of-terror-threat-revealed-uk-home-to-23-000-jihadists-3zvn58mhq https://www.google.com/amp/s/pjmedia.com/trending/anti-islamist-activist-tommy-robinson-jailed-in-england-for-reporting-on-muslim-rape-gang-trial/amp/ .

They've probably been having some meeting for trainers/assessors and some bright spark trying to look intelligent has said something like, 'let's include the dogtooth/bore/release/plunge cut for use in the tree and then we can question those being assessed on it' It would then seem NOT ONE other person at that meeting has challenged that stupid idea, or scrutinised it properly. That tells you they don't have the knowledge or experience to know just how dangerous it is. There's an experience deficit with these guys somewhere along the process and the inclusion and promotion of the dogtooth as an aerial felling cut exposes that ignorance.

Stupid technique to be using in the tree, suicidal even. Stem can peel down before you even finish the cut flipping climber off the stem. Think Ash. Also, the shock load on the release cut can cause explosive movement which could cause the piece your on to break out below you at the union. think big included bark union, most of the dismantles we do are on trees coming down because they're structurally poor in the first place. work positioning wise it's can be a difficult cut to get accurate even at ground level on steep ground etc let alone standing on spikes at 50ft in the rain on a leaning stem. Just reminds me that the training/assessor side of the industry is out of touch with reality and in some cases actually promoting unsafe methods. .

Pics not clear on my phone Chessa but looks like Burkwood Viburnum possibly Park farm hybrid

Agree on that Matty, pretty much applies to any configuration of rope and cord. Here's a 6 wrap VT I found worked well with 10mm ocean on 11.7 non ce coug blue. The 6 wraps only worked cause the ropes were new and the diameter of both ropes so similar worked a treat though, smooth when moving around, rock solid when cutting

You've got to admit it Steve, similar words to these must've crossed your mind in the middle of a particularly trying tree job

quality work Reg, good to see the 200 out and about. Looked a very UK type tree situation with everything rigged into a tight workzone in the back garden. Good job by the ground crew. .

Didn't they want to re introduce Lynx in your area at one time Matty? Kielder Forest? How did that go down with the locals?

After viewing the Nazi Pug vid I reckon Count Dankula is an anti Semite and he attempted to disguise his anti Semitism using irony. He also knows a lot of his intended audience (the alt right) will see past the irony as well. The, obscene and unforgivable, 'gas the Jews' comment repeated over and over again gave it away. The in joke was outed. His contrived plan failed and the courts saw through it. I reckon he knows he's been rumbled as well. He's an idiot Matelot, and you've just given him £50. Tommy Robinson also supported him as well, a very stupid thing to do when you consider the biggest threat to Jews today is the blatant anti Semitism of radical Islam. Tommy on the same side as radical Islam. Who'd have thought it. .

Some nice rigging going on here, good climbers and ground crew by the looks of it.
