    Nothing wrong with a 180 mate, used to use one as a "chipper saw". Normal fuel mix 50:1, if your not going to use 5litres of mix up before it "goes off" mix up litre at a time 1litre petrol and 20ml 2stoke. Go on jonsies chain website and get one off there, be surprised if it costs you much more than a tenner

    30mins? What size bar did you have on it? I can generally feel if i hit a nail and can normally pull the saw out without mullering the whole chain not having a dig mate, just interested. I know how much of a bugger it is blunting chains

    Tried somewhere that changes motorcycle tryes? They should be able to handle smaller tyres, moped tyres are small!

    Just thought, "CROW" can mean "Countryside and Rights of Way Act" would that be it possibly?

    3years at college and never came across that. Not a typo is it, instead of "cord wood" or something? What context has it been used in?
  7. Tree Man Tom
    Second that. Plus it seems everything could be called carcinogenic these days if you wanted it to be, and if it isnt carcinogenic then it will probably increase your chances of heart disease or something else. Il keep on using normal petrol and diesel thanks

    "Accidently caught alight" My arse lol Somebody set fire to one at college, and we removed what was left of a conifer hedge that was set alight once, dirty job.
  11. Tree Man Tom

  12. Tree Man Tom
    Using the correct fuel mix, and a good quality 2stroke oil?

    Like that mate, nice and secure. Do you have "chipping teams", like you come along to the tree work and stack the brash and someone else follows your around chipping?

    Bad news on the insurance, i managed to be abit sneaky and get mine for £800! Although my Vito is costing me £150 a month at the moment. Its rubbish not having any "no claims bonus" and only holding a lisence for 10months. Get a 200tdi in there, you'll never look back! haha
  16. Tree Man Tom
    Sweet! How did you get on with insurance? I found it a nightmare trying to get a landy insured as my first car lol Please say its had a 200tdi conversion to? I feel for you if it aint haha

    That "pork and cider, for a fiver!" was a killer, was already having a cider with some old work mates and with the boss when we decided to buy some food. We all went for that deal, but everyone forgot they were driving (except me) and all the cider was passed onto me! Luckily no drunken purchases were made! Was a good show, all be it abit small. I wasnt to sure what to expect as the only show id been to previosly was the APF and that is big! Came away with all my money still in my wallet as mr stihls price increase had made everything go up to much Was a good little show, had a laugh trying to push dealers down on prices but didnt wonder over to the arbtalk stand and only saw it on the drive out, doh!

    You will need cs39, but you cant get that without first doing cs30, 31, and 38. You should be asked to show your qualification when buying a top handle, but i never have been. I do have cs39 though before anyone asks.

    I imagine you should wear normal PPE as if you were cross cutting etc.. Personally, i would wear normal PPE but just ear muffs and glasses instead of helmet
