    Dolmar 123 Coil

    Cheers.its actually for a mate who's not on here,i'll pass that info on to him and possibly get back to you.
  2. Anybody know where to source a coil for a dolmar 123?
  3. Undo the tension on the spring and coil the tape into a bucket of hot water and washing powder and leave to soak for a few hours,pull the tape out of the bucket and wipe it with a cloth as you do.roberts your fathers brother as they say:001_cool:
  4. Got an 04 372xp for sale,new 18'' bar and chain,tidied up and ready to go.
  5. Used mine today for first time,as previously mentioned no sit back and self tends well,very pleased with it.A point to note though,i cut a smallish branch which was in between climbing line as the beech i was ascending was full of epicormic,it followed the rope right down to the ZZ and i dropped a foot or so,had a flip line in so no worries but could of been interesting had i not.Thanks for the courtesy call justin,i thought i'd better call back quick before they were all gone.

    Whisky

    It has to be Balvenie for me,signature or double wood,either or,speysides' finest with a wee splash of water(preferably not from a mains supply!) ps to avoid a hangover stick to malts imo
  7. It is on open ground but the public can walk underneath. It has been reduced by 25% previously.
  8. It was in Orkney and yes think they have had it mild. And not so wet as everyone else.
  9. It was only yesterday.
  10. Found this at the bottom of a Sycamore yesterday it had fallen off an old limb removal wound. I am thinking Dryads Saddle but an expert opinion would be great. It was chucking it down and its to say the least its a bit yucky and squishy! Thanks
  11. There are a few left up here,this is the only redwood i've ever felled though,10 footer,it had to come down for a development,i didn't plan on felling it that day but the 50mph+ wind behind it convinced me.
  12. Tractor with roofmount crane.If your planning on winching and forwarding,excellent for winching especially when butt needs a lift up to get chokers under.
  13. I had to demonstrate it on my cs33 long long ago just for the simple reason of not enough bar length when coming round the back with felling cut.I use it on large spruce often as i dont like to take buttress of before felling so often struggle for reach in middle with 20'' bar,i prefer taking buttress off when tree is on the ground,much easier.Will give it a go on smaller splitty trees(ash,syc,maple)tho as said previously as i don't normally.
  14. I take all the plastic bits off the saw and put them in an old dustbin full of really hot water and washing powder,leave them to soak for about two days then clean them up with a hard bristle brush.they come up like new.
