  1. Inventive rigging setups from other trees but dont underestimate the forces involved! felling stems into the back of trailers can damage the trailer but again, you can controll it with a rigging line
  2. How many can you link up? as many radios and headpiecies as you want? Do you have to keep hold of the button to talk, or can you press it once, talk hands free, then press it off? can you have one radio without the ear piece and one with working together? Thanks!
  3. with respect to the original post, its not like stihl vs husky as hes not asking TW vs GM, he's wanting opinions on two specific comparable models
  4. Everyone uses alkaylite (sp) petrol, like Aspen here, maybe thats worth a try
  5. Bringing the intelect down, can i ask why it appears from this thread fungus is rare on Yews?
  6. been faultless, naff all maintenance or tuning, can allways depend on it to work the same as it did the previous day, took a while to run in and get rev'ier as when new felt a bit tight and stiff, a solid saw
  7. nice bit of thought there! whats the landys winch?
  8. Its amazing the police want to even get out of bed with attitudes like yours
  9. Really good, tows VERY well (over) loaded and at speed, nice extras, heavy duty, thoughtfull design, tipps anything with ease
  10. Fix the hydralics, theyre not complicated
  11. Ditto to test cricket, but this is good to have stored in your mind page titled 'double anchor configurations' http://www.treeworker.co.uk/downloads/hitch_climbers_guide.pdf
  12. He's using a lanyard with a carabina on both ends and a device that holds both ways. a rope grab or distel knot grabs one way only and can use one hand to pill the slack in, this system it appears you need both hands a simple version would be a lanyard with a carabina on both ends and a normal prussik or just use your climbing line for the change over
  13. wont a 48inch bar and skip chain be about 300 notes? quite pricey just to avoid a bore cut!
  14. New bar, side case and steam clean has made it look that good imo
  15. AP is pretty constant performance from when its new to when its worn through the outer core! really nice to use Beeline is good but needs bedding in, adjusting and doesnt last aslong imo
  16. Downsides Towing to vehicle capacity Need to pay for trailer licence need to buy a 14ft flatbed, pay for it to have a tipper fitted, then buy and bastardise a small chipper smaller chip capacity than a transit its a cumbersome unit, unlike a small road tow and tranny not very versatile gonna be expensive and probabally unreliable unless you can fix it yourself what i would do your gonna have to get a trailer test, tipp trailer, and chipper anyway, keep it a trailer and a chipper and spend the conversion money on hgv licence and get a 7.5t iveco
  17. Great thread Spud! What do you (or Megatron) reckon to this, shipped my 880 over from the uk and changed to Aspen without re-tuning, a fair few tankfulls have been through her now, just a bit paranoid, i think its ok, a touch rich perhaps, but acceptable (?) And its got the green airfilter, is it worth changing to the black one?
  18. Fantastic pics! Really must make an effort to see the lights this winter! hope the foots ok, keep the pics comming
