Does using the diesel block mean that the stroke is longer so revs slower with more torque ?

Or E85 which is only 67.5 cents per litre, a euro less than SP98

Clearly not oiling right, you need to focus on your maintenance regime before blaming the lack of a sparkplug for a lacklustre performance... 😂

Something tells me that a fresh sparkplug might not change it's fortunes overnight...

Ah yes, I should have read further...

Does this correspond to my needs ? I often buy supplies from this company in Germany. https://shop.saegenspezi.de/Professional-repair-kit-for-thread-spark-plug-M14-x-125-with-tapping-and-inserts-for-chainsaws-and-other-small-devices

Strange occurrence on my oldest 2016 MS 261 it didn't just unwind to my knowledge, it was running great but suddenly the sparkplug popped out and saw dead. I tried red loctite, that lasted until the saw got properly hot again. Is there anything else I can do to fix the sparkplug in, tap out a wider hole or some permanent metal glue perhaps before consigning it to the parts bin ? I could do with an old near valueless saw to keep at my wood storage for occasional use. It's only ever been run on Aspen On the plus side, I now have a damn good excuse to buy a new saw, been over two years since I did that Cheers Stuart

Yes, true, though I will drive it in reverse for the most part which will limit that and can open the infeed to lower the weight on the drawbar. Jockey is due for replacement anyway so I might look at fatter model. The original one fell apart very quickly and the current one is a design that folds up as you wind it. Bit close to the truck and the winder has been hit a few times. I'm sceptical about the longevity of the control box given heat and vibrations.

Is this Shane Smith the self proclaimed Gypsy Tree King...?

VID_20251223_171601.mp4 A repeat client, newly retired from a caravan dealership where he worked as a fitter/mechanic, took these motors off a caravan that had been in an accident. In exchange for some tree work and firewood, I now don't need to pop a vein in my neck pushing 1000kg into my garage each evening. Yet to try it on grass but I've a job in January where we can give it a Wang. Just in case it doesn't work, my colleague will bring his 4x4 mower to tow it into place. It this proves successful, I'll look at a more beefed up jockey. I need to adjust a rubber air hose to give the control box under the hood more room. I'll also upgrade the battery for a higher capacity one. VID_20251223_155548.mp4 VID_20251223_121329.mp4

Maybe re-phrase my question. I was once roadside on a busy 'B' road just out of town. Large signs and bright landscaping caught clients eyes. I felt it really helped raise the businesses profile, credibility even and bring in alot of work. That was the past. Since I restarted in 2018, I've been near invisible except for Google. Tucked away on a housing estate, low profile so not to upset the neighbours. My turnover long since hit a ceiling that seems strangely difficult to break through. So, I am reaching out to ask if others have moved their businesses to a more public location and found turnover (profit hopefully) increased as a result of the exposure despite extra costs in rent.

What I would like to know, has anyone moved to a prominently situated premises and found it led to an upsurge in trade ? I don't actually need the extra room but I'd like to consolidate what little equipment I have as it is spread between three sites, being a farm, lockups and home.

It is, outrageous given it's just empty space, not even a loo (can be installed at my cost) but it's the least expensive in town. I'm also not in rural France but in a satellite town of a major economic hub. I'm faced with a stalemate situation. To afford a house of my own I must move out of town. Move out of town means relocating the business away from the epicenter sweet spot of my clientele. People call the most local business not one 15kms away where properties become affordable. Fine if I didn't also have ambitions to employ and replace my truck and could take the inevitable hit in calls. €800 equates to one days work after paying the subby climber. It fills me with anxiety to think I might be pissing money away for no good reason whilst also filling me will anxiety that if I don't do it I'll never know if it will indeed work out just fine. I must let the agency know tomorrow, meanwhile, devoid of alcohol, I'm going to eat and entire bar of Dairy Milk...

In France, no qualifications are required to become a tree climber. Insurance companies don't ask for anything other than your business registration certificate and even then, they are pretty lax about who can obtain insurance. The authorities are only now beginning to more strictly regulate the industry. Regardless of that, France doesn't recognise UK NPTC certificates.
