Early series 2A's had the lights in the grill, mid and late 2A's in the wings. you got them both probably a previous owners bright idea. do you have a plastic interior or spartan metal one? Bit of useless info, you got the "deluxe" Bonnet Anyway, going off track, There was no way that tree, with that side wind and that pulling angle was ever going to land on the grass

Doesn't make that a series 2A then? My 2A was from 71

Proper snow and ice tyres which have tiny slices in the tread blocks will be best (see pics) For the winter months my hilux has nokian nordman suv with studs. Might be available without. My caddy has Bridgestones without studs. the caddy on the Bridgestones will go further than a 4x4 on summer tyres in the snow and ice.

What’s your background yeti?

Genuinely interested in what @AA Teccie (Paul) 's thoughts are on the case now it's over? Does this affect the aa credentials of the company? Or the inspection intervals? seems like e HSE found a catalogue of errors rather than misfortune

Fwiw, my trailer has alloy floor, the only dent ive managed to put in was dropping a 3.5meter, 80cm diameter ash stem with a bulge, from about 40cm

From the description- Comes with a 12v diverter valve to give you both grab and rotate functions. (this requires wiring into a 12v source, no wiring supplied) looks a good design, HEV seem to be doing lots of quality Arb grabs now.

Not as far as I know.

I hope not, it's a nice saw but nothing amazing

Really interesting project David! Must be a real chore visiting those sites where pollards left out of regular cutting succumb to dysfunction, decline and fungal colonisation does this mean that regularly pollarded trees are less susceptible to fungal colonisation?

Husqvarna Universal Axe A2400 I think its important to explain that i actually preferred wooden axes, hand made, theres something about a quality wooden axe that can’t be described. Unfortunately, wooden axes don’t lend themselves too well to arborist treatment, they’re not designed for hitting wedges, not just hitting wedges but really smacking them in hard, They're not normally designed for splitting knotty arb waste, the strength in the wooden handles varies, some wooden handles have lasted me a year or more, others a week. So i decided to get one of these husqvarna axes, specifically, the A2400 with its composite, fiber re-inforced, 70cm shaft (Plastic to me!) Soft grip areas and heavy head (2400 = 2.4kg) with a non stick coating its proved to be extremely durable with the abuse I've given it - hitting in felling wedges, splitting gnarly wood, in fact, id go as far to say as its the best splitting axe I’ve used! They come with a really good plastic cover for the axe head, should you need it - quite important as its sharp when new, and really holds the edge well. It feels like theres less vibrations passed to your hands when abusing it, although this view isn’t backed up with any facts, but important to consider. Cost wise this series of axe starts at £35rrp for the hatchet up to £65,50rrp for this or the S2800 splitting axe. This is similar pricing to your average wooden handle axe, but long term far cheaper. Pricing is also significantly cheaper than Husqvarnas wooden handled axes. This also makes this professional grade product affordable to the home owner in my opinion. Axes in this Husqvarna Axe series: Universal Hatchet 900B Universal axe A1400 Universal axe A2400 Splitting axe S1600 Splitting axe S2800 I'll be rating this axe at 4/5, Its biggest asset - the plastic shaft, is also loosing it a point, in an age where plastic is starting to become demonised, its important in my opinion that Husqvarna look for a "greener" plastic.

Keep at it with SRT, especially if already using it for access, one day it'll just click and you'll do the whole tree SRT. It took a long time for me making the change. I DdRT'd up an Ash yesterday, nearly killed me!

Split-tail and a Shizll big spider, great little device

Any pictures or screenshots Sean?

I’d expect a subby groundy to turn up with full ppe, hi-vis torso clothing, waterproofs, 50-60cc saw, saw maintenance kit, spare chain

No multiple pictures of the machine, first one has only one feedback, but his instructions are quite advanced, the other I’d bet is a hacked account, crap email address in the extended description, original description of a legitimate sale copy and pasted.

Both 100% scams in my opinion

I didn't know anything. I tried and had a will to learn, I think it's rude to be in a foreign country and not even try some basics. I wasn't scared of making a tit out of myself trying, persisting even when who I spoke to switched to English, I did take evening courses at the public university (not SFI) which helped with the grammar. where you moving too and why?

It’d be ironic if it was due to its multiculturalism!

Should the locals hold their hand and tickle their balls too? IME some EU countries love to meet and speak english, socialising here was far easier than in an unknown city in the uk. In France for example, they were incredibly hostile if you didn't make the effort. (quite right too imo) Make the tiniest effort though and again, socialising was incredibly easy.

The ability to speak English gives you opportunities across the world. Not just a small overcrowded island. We who grow up with it as a first language are incredibly fortunate. When i was at school, we were taught French, i couldn't see the point as everyone speaks English! Now i look back and think how incredible arrogant and ignorant i was

Right or wrong, It's already harder for brits to gain the right to reside or residency here. but this kind of immigration is the "good kind" that's never been a problem, and wasn't the focus for many during brexit

I speak fluent Swedish my partners sister studied sociology, there simply isn't course material available in Swedish so it's English material only a criteria of being in the eu is that English is taught as a second language again, I just hope the same opportunities are available to future generations after brexit

Lots of higher education at degree level for example is taught in English here... a friend has just achieved a bachelor of engineering with honors here, course was in English and job will be primarily English. Speaking basic Swedish might help him win the job though
