Suppuse it depends if Arbtex is designed to stop pathogens/fungi getting in to the wood or whether it soaks into the wood to preserve it. Sounds stupid but I wonder if a type of creosote/wood preserver would do any damage to the tree. It would surely help with preserving the wood. IIRC I think someone told me that years ago over in Germany they used to treat damaged tree trunks(car damage etc) with some type of creosote and/or varnish.

Pro=we could charge for the service. Con=Isnt it a bit of a nasty dirty job? Sry no pro's or con's for the tree, well non that I know about.

Possibly but not definitely. I only say this because in the past there have been loads of debates around the old complying with the insurance or them not paying out scenario, for stuff like the above and/or not having up to date NPTC's or not having them in the first place etc etc. From what I gather no one has ever been refused a pay out by the insurance companies for not complying. Unfortunately no insurance companies have ever taken an interest in the threads/posts to clarify there stance on the matter. Its obviously best to have the LOLER checks and in date tickets and use the right PPE and adhere to best practice HSE guidlines etc but since none of us probably do everything all the time its a good job that they dont not pay out:confused1:

Take a photo and post it up.

£200!! You sure theres that much difference? 200T is around the £450 and 338 £400 IIRC.

Is that a fact?

Good, none of the new old skool fandangled cowboy rip cuts:thumbup1: Its all NTP from now on:thumbup: Oh and where did I put that fungicide?

Looks like a 2-1 to me tbh. Just like a waggoners/truckers hitch which gives a 2-1 ratio.

Anti kickback chains, legal requirment?
Mesterh replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
Lol yeah no worries I know you didnt mean that just came a cross that way. I've been using the oregon chain for the 020's since the stihl stuff was fairly poor, not sure if its improved or not lately. While it may not be 'illegal' if it is recommended by the HSE etc then although not compulsory I would think that if someone has an accident due to kick back and wasnt using an anti kick back chain then they probably arent conforming to best practice a which may have consequences. I only assume this as it could be seen as the same as wearing type C pants when climbing and all the other 'recommended good practice' guidelines etc. Theres a huge difference between a legal requirement and a recommended guideline. I think there are only a few legal requirements with chainsaws being the safety stickers and on/off switch mainly.(dont quote me on that though ) -
The stretch air do look good but I just cant bare to bring myself to spend over £200 on a pair of chainsaw pants! The sip progress look quite good and a bit more reasonable at £160:001_smile:

Although something like this might be more appropriate rubber sheet black 5mm thick x 2m x 1.4m on eBay (end time 28-Mar-10 10:51:30 BST) Looks like the seller has other thickness and length too:001_huh:

Swap it for a 200T. Used a 338 when they first came out and thought it was just as bad as the previous ones 335 iirc. 200T doesnt disppoint:001_smile:

Ahh well they cant be called anti kick back then. Not everyone who gets kick back is a numb nuts:sneaky2: -

Do they completely stop kick back? -
I'd hire it out for the week if only to have a play about in:thumbup: Used a few and although I'm crap they area bit of fun:001_smile:

I dont think it will mate. HTC HD2 doesn't qualify for a Windows Phone 7 upgrade - GSMArena.com news

Too true! Although its preferable to turning up at a booked in job to find a load of chip down the road and a pile of sawdust where a tree used to be! If I get a call before 8AM or after 9PM then someone better be dying.

Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!

I have most of the stihl stuff so if you are after anything specific I can upload it to a site where you can DL it for free. Ebay used to sell loads on dvd's but I cant see any there atm.

Ooop didnt realise you had to setup an account or I woulda just emailed it to you:blushing: Hope it helps:thumbup1:

I've uploaded it to here. Download 020T workshop manual.pdf for free on uploading.com

All easy if you know how:001_smile: You have to strip the saw right down to get at rings, well most of the way anyhow.But you will have to strip it down more or less to sort the exhaust bolt out. Its worth a go just to get a feel for how the saws work if you have any interest in it. The rings can be squeezed by hand as you lower the cylinder or you can buy a special tool(its a bit of cloth type stuff, must be all of £2 worth) I keep meaning to get one but never get round to it. As for the carb are you sure it just needs a kit and isnt damaged beyond repair? I can email you over a workshop manual, or actually I might have a link where you can DL it from. I'll have a look.

Oh right why is that? I was thinking of getting one, or well I was looking at getting an android phone:001_smile:
-
Good man for doing it:thumbup1: I'm afraid I had nothing to add since I wouldnt have a clue on how to go about it! Hope to God that none of the kids mentioned the words 'ladder' or 'MEWP' Would be like a chanisaw massacre.
