    I would certainly buy one if they came to the UK. I am fairly sure I could operate it safely without losing any digits.

    I just checked out the specs and the 372 will take 28 inch bar. It is also significantly lighter than the 390 and 395. Is the disadvantage of additional weight outweighed by the power gained with the bigger 390?

    What is the largest bar the 372xtorque will take?

    I'm also in the market for a bigger saw. I don't really want to buy an 880 or 3120 as I think they would be left in the shed and only used very occasionally. I recently had use of a 365 with a 24in bar and chain. I was impressed with how the saw coped with the large bar (albeit a brand new bar and chain). Although I would usually buy Stihl, I think I might go for Husqvarna for my big saw. I think I will either go for the 372 or the 395.

    The GRCS comes with a bollard! or at least mine did.

    Sorry to disappoint!

    I'm the other way round. Mine is seven inches but I might make a bigger one. I am using an Edlerid Dyneema Quickdraw with with no covering and a karabiner. But I am thinking of making a slightly longer one and doing away with the karabiner altogether. I just don't want it so long that it interferes with my Ascentree. Just wondering what length others are finding works well for them.

    Technically not a kissing gate but all the same a handsome piece of work. Well done guys. p.s. No PPE required as the good lord would have been watching over them.

    I am a convert and now worship in the church of the Singing Tree Rope Wrench. Hallelujah! I am using the ZK-2 and was wondering what length of stiffy fellow worshippers were finding work best? I assume it is likely that this will depend on the attachment point on any particular harness or perhaps its the distance between the pulley and the wrench that is critical? Cheers!

    If ghosts really do exist why are we not overrun with the tortured souls of the many other animals that once roamed the earth? I would love to see a ghost cow! Wouldn't you?

    Forestry Commission?

    Just when I was thinking of buying one, I went and read this thread! Thanks you have saved me from buying a faulty saw.

    Any reason for the unusually large gobs on all the trees? Watch that thumb on the top handle of your saw! Your team has some nice kit. Keep safe.

    Congratulations. Sleepless nights to come......oh the joys!

    I had assumed Kevin was referring to the L-shaped piece of metal attached to the end of the wrench (in his photos). I would expect that it stops the stiff tether from getting close to the "head" of the device (as per your photo). But I may be wrong!

    Perhaps she could hear you panting?

    Too far away from me. AA don't come this far north!

    A silky.
  20. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Thanks for clearing that up!
  21. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Nice looking tree. Whereabouts was that? Eaton?
  22. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Please excuse my ignorance, but what is crap fishing?
  23. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    I wouldn't bother with the compost. The aim should be to get the roots established in the local soils as early as possible (unless of course there is no soil). Trees do remarkable well on poor soils (which is why there is so much upland forestry). Planting into peat will not encourage the roots into the native soil and may result in more losses than gains.

    Err. not sure quite what the question is. If it is about tickets, then every beginner starts with CS30 and CS31. It's the basic grounding in safe use and maintenance of a chainsaw. Without these you will not be able to progress to most of the other chainsaw related tickets. So get these out the way first - it will be money well spent. Good luck

    All of the above.
