    False. The clutch on the 076 was engaged and the whole saw was being driven by the 084. When you start milling you are correct, the 076 clutch does not engage but after it has engaged it won't disengage until both saw revs drop. I'll take your word for it. Many years ago I had a set up with two 076 heads. I just seem to remember that one would just tick over if the throttle was released whilst cutting.

    With one saw idling the clutch wouldn't be engaged so only the sprocket would be spinning.

    Rag doll! If you play with the big boys expect it to be tough.

    Best out of it. I wouldn't have even considered complying with his demands in the first place. Glad you disrupted his day :-)

    Probably nicked the ladders anyway.

    What came on the pallet originally? Indian sandstone?

    Toll roads

    Did some work on their hedges and fences. I don't know how it pays given the maintenance side they've got set up...plus all the other costs I would have no idea about.

    I'm surprised at that! Many prominent people have talked about medieval wood pasture and have always claimed that this tree is a remnant of that. I have/did have a ring from a fallen oak that had to be cleared that dated back to around 1700 give or take. How they can give a similar age to a tree with girth of 13m a similar age is beyond me! Maybe the work I did gave it a new lease of life :-)

    A nice old pollarded chestnut I worked on many years ago.

    The chap standing on the right is Andy Morton: author of a few books about ancient yews. I did a bit of travelling with him through Herefordshire as he researched them.

    I think so David. It's the Lydham Manor oak. Apart from this tree Lydham had some remarkable trees inc a couple of giant walnuts.

    A bit of old skool meeting. Last seen in 1987 when I did some work on her. 39 feet in circumference then.

    Looks like this ash and pine may be off for a walk. Sheep caused the erosion and I've probably posted them before.

    A once very common sight. A big English elm.

    L200 4wd issue?

    Graham replied to Con's topic in Arb-Trucks

    Don't leave it in 4wd on the road unless you want to be picking up bits.

    It's probably bent from the graft or budding point. Be careful you don't snap it at the union if you attempt to straighten it.

    They probably are although their winter roost sites tend to change. Last winter they appeared locally in tens of thousands every evening roosting in any available tree they could. Drew in lots of sightseers. This winter..not a sign of them.

    They probably eat their bodyweight in leatherjackets and other grubs every day.

    Most domestic stuff disappoints if you're used to good machines. The 390 is a really good saw though.

    The 352 is a domestic saw so it's nothing like their pro stuff.

    Graham replied to woodwizzard's topic in Chainsaws

    I bought a new cs390 in Sept last year. I needed a new saw for hedgelaying. It's now done eight months of work inc a fair bit of small felling. A special offer price of £400 tempted me away from Stihl ...and I've had forty years of pro use with them! Cracking saw straight from the box and even more so now it's had time to loosen up. I've also removed the spark arrestor and restrictor from the exhaust. It really flies with a Speedcut chain fitted.

    Eighty four metres took five days. I'm a little slow on commercial work as I try and make it as nice as I can for clients. Also takes a bit of time straightening out maiden quicks to get it built into the stakes and stockproof.

    Thank you.

    Thought I'd finished cutting for season but got one last job in. Stafford style again.
