Has anyone purchased a Stihl MS192t lately? I"ve trawled through Arbtalk, looked Ebay US,Ireland, nothing! The only place is Ebay France but cannot translate every page to make a purchase, where is the easiest place to obtain one from? please help. And if Stihl UK is reading this thanks for not realising it in the UK! Absolute madness if you read all threads on here relating to MS192t you will realise that the MS192t is not a replacement 200t. All my saws for the last 20 years are Stihl. The 200t is sometimes too heavy and powerful in light applications hence a 192t, it doesnt make sense why this is"nt realised into the UK market?

Thank you to all your reply"s. I appreciate what everyone is saying here, by the time someone turns up, process"s it and takes it away that in itself will cost money so the added cost of "buying" the trunk does"nt make it viable. So my new proposal is does anyone want it for FREE whether it be for logs or planking. It would be great that someone could plank it using an Alaskan Mill as i would like to learn this process with this bit of kit as i"ve never planked myself before, so if anyone is interested call myself Chris @ Tree Wise Men on 0208 882 0972.

Am i missing the point? I need some feedback with regards to the above thread. I thought that quality oak of this size would be of some value. I thought of buying a planking saw and keeping the timber for use at a later date, but with no response from anyone i"m begining to think that this oak or processed into planks will hold little value hence why no one is interested in it. I"ve never planked tree before always logged it up and been charged for disposal, seems such a waste. Any one please with any ideas, or the MS880 is having it for lunch!

Thank you for all your replys, i will give both infeed rollers to Green Plant for dismantling and rebuild with new parts. Chris @ Tree Wise Men

please see my thread in general chat forum, thread starter jenny tool

In about 3-4 weeks time i will be felling an oak tree due to insurance etc. The oak appears to be totally healthy and it seems such a waste to cut up the tree trunk for disposal. so does anyone want to buy the trunk? the tree is in the back garden in north london, winchmore hill N.21. you can only portable saw mill this. Aprox 17 ft long x 27 inches wide. 16 metre walk from trunk to vehicle, 1x piece of washing line pulley (visible) metal in trunk, i think easily dug out, 30 inch gate access. In the garden itself is plenty of space as the oak is in the middle of the lawn. I will fell the trunk for anyone to mill from there onwards. dont worry about offcuts/sawdust i will clean that up, site visit is possible for anyone to see what i"m describing. any questions call me on 0208 882 0972 chris @ tree wise men

Dear Chipper lovers, Can anyone reccomend a preferably entec/timberwolf chipper repair business in and around north london. I need the feed roller blades changing and i understand you have to weld a nut on the bolts to remove the threads. Thanks for your replys Chris @ Tree Wise Men

Your right a real shame Prochip isnt trading, they were the only company i could totally trust with my 12 year old entec ch35. Always kept her going with there engineering skills,hope one day these boys come back.

Dear Tree Monkeys, Been trying to get in contact with Prochip for the last two days but the phone just rings. Are they still trading? These are the guys that sell sheisling woodchippers and atre based next to Timberwolf main factory. Any news please let us know. Thanks Chris @ Tree Wise Men

Thank you for your replys. It became apparant after speaking to NFU that there is now a 6 metre height restriction and get this employers liability cover DOESNT cover you if your employee gets hit by falling tree debris. To be fair to NFU they said this type of insurance (tree surgery), they are not looking to take on due to the amount of claims they have had, so for me that"s the end of that. I"ll call the companies you have all suggested, if anyone else can reccomend any others i would be grateful for your input. Chris

Dear tree business owners, Can as many of you tell me which insurance company you are using with regards to employers liability and public liability. I"ve been with NFU for 10 years and this year it has many restrictions on my policy coupled with not returning my calls. Only 6 days left and i have no insurance. So if any of you have a poisitive experience with your insurance company, competitive rates with comprehensive cover then please post. Thank you all for your time Chris

Thank you for all your reply"s. I"ve realised of late after using a friends MS170 that there is a hole in the U.K market for a light pruning chainsaw. MS192t exists as you know but not in the U.K why is that? All my saws are stihl but i find the Ms200t a little heavy/powerful for light applications, hence a Ms192t is needed. Thanks again everyone

Dear tree lovers, Where can i get a American spec MS 192T from? They are not available in the U.K, did"nt know of anyone in the USA that knows a Stihl dealer that sells them and ships to the U.K at a fair price.

Hi Frederic, Again i attended the AA show with intention of buying the new morpho harness as my original butterfly harness is due for replacement,just a little threadbare but still serviceable. To my surprise the Morpho is constructed using six shackles,surely this is a not the best way of designing such an important piece of climbing equipment. If shackles are to be used then why dont they have extra thread showing as then to put on nylocs to have a back up just in case these bolts come undone. I already know that these shackles are "waxed" in place,not even a mention of threadlock and which strength. I understand the reason for using these shackles is so then a user can replace parts of the belt. I"m lost as in all these 17 years of climbing i"ve never had to replace parts on a belt. Although someone did say that if you cut the webbing etc it can be easily replaced hence the shackles. Well my way of thinking is if your stupid enough to cut any part of you climbing harness, without causing a serious accident then count yourself lucky when you get down out of the tree all you have to do is just have to replace your belt. I would be interested to know why these shackles have been incorporated into this design, there is a train of thought within the Arb industry on keeping things simple,why do we have to have complex climbing systems,it"s just more components to possibly fail with serious consequences. The original butterfly harness was very good in design, i just think that Morpho has stepped backwards in safety design,of course my opinion here and working on that basis will not be buying the Morpho. I look forward to your response. Kind regards Chris Ward

I was until i saw the shackles that held the harness together,i just couldnt get it out of my mind that in effect the harness is held together by bolts with a "wax" as a threadlock. No mention what torque these bolts should be set at,what loctite should be used and why no nylock nuts to back up a threaded bolt.Everyone knows that nuts and bolts come undone and when where talking about one"s life on the line that was enough for me personally not to buy one, shame really as i still use and like my original butterfly harness.

Hello Justin,its Chris @ TreeWiseMen Tree Services North London,i"ll see you at the AA Fair what kind of price are we looking at and does it come in two sizes? The harness that is.

Is everyone refering to the new Komet harness called "Morpho"? If so does this harness supersede all other harness"s Komet have produced in terms of it"s technical design,upto date features?
