  1. Steve i can happily carve out branches all day with a Silky...i'm a bit of a machine when it comes to a handsaw
  2. Exactly mate....tree shaving i call it....clearing the way
  3. Good tip Rich,i do the same....i also favour a small silky for smaller cut and hold logs....
  4. Sometimes when you're climbing to Anchor point a Silky is just the tool to remove the Pesky Frith and twiglets that hamper your way😎😎😎
  5. Benny and couldyajust i certainly hear what you lads are sayin and am in agreement with your great posts...an opened up 150 sounds a superb tool and nice to hear that you still have a Silky as your sidearm...can't be beaten for those fine tuning cuts!
  6. I agree 100% Jim...150 is a dedicated pruner..whereas the Husky isn't
  7. Gareth you know!...it is indeed a warm up..Bob, the Nakanoto is pure cutting perfection...Agressive and Fast but smooth....
  8. True...but the speed and dexterity at which a Silky saw can be used makes a chainsaw seem cumbersome...i can re-pollard faster with a Nakanoto....cut multiple stems,gather them in one hand whilst still holding my saw and stack them from the tree neatly below....my choice of petrol Silky however would be the 150....A Sublime machine,like weilding a hairdryer it's so light... and i love its tinny sound
  9. I love bashing/dismantling connies...lots of close quarter cuttting and plenty of trigger time...busy...
  10. The Silky will never die in my opinion.Silent cutting for sensitive areas...uncompromised quality and superior cutting. Cut and hold (my favourite Arb discipline) can not be beaten as far as safety is concerned.....i even came across a bunch of my absolute favourite blades today at Gustharts....Finest SK4 Carbon steel....
  11. Glad to see you have added a picture! Looking good😎 i saw the other pictures from that job on Facebook. Great job. You seem to have a proffessional team and Enthusiasm to go with it....care to share more pictures from that job?

  14. Did it move much when you were rigging bits down?
  15. Wow! Carnage....did you get it all chipped and tidied in a day?
  16. Looks like it can handle the big stuff...
  17. Not seen that one in action before...just you tubed it...propelled by your track skidsteer?
  18. What type Vermeer Grinder is that Ian?
  19. Something different.Great Soundtrack and Super Quality HD image!
  20. Was thinking the same thing...
