is there that much difference between the ms341 and 260?
jonnywinks replied to jonnywinks's topic in Climbers talk
Never had a prob with a stihl apart from the cast breakin on an old 088, and splittin a bar with a fellin wedge. oops. otherwise they start everytime. it just in my experence every husky ive used just doesn't feel as tight or as solid as a sthil and is no were near as reliable. what climbin saw do u use? bet its not a husky. dropped my 020 from 30feet. not a skratch. a husky would explode in to a million pieces. soz 2 rant just fed up with unreliabe tat. -

Hello mate have't got any money at the min but i will be getting a 341. Might get a makita as a back up saw much later on when i no a bit more about them. Lets hope work picks up (or the wind). My 020 does the most work anyhow. The best saw ever. -
im comin 2 nz! What i tell the miss's and kid. gettin me some good times. oh and caption on 2nd pic from start of thread. "mmm cobwebs"

Do you not find a bit of friction is good? Keeps the rope still while you push the prussik up. Unless im roped round a thick branch lower down i never use one (which is never). Footlocking is hard. Don't use that either. lol.

A chipper doesnt get as hot as a fire. I dont object 2 fires, in fact i quite like them, but they cause damage and leave a mess. No arborist would use a f$%kin digger 2 prune a tree, even a willow. which just proves they don't no what they're talking about. Plus the damage left by the digger/fire takes a good year to grow back.

jonnywinks replied to jimmylad's topic in Training & education
ive got a first diploma in forest mec and a nd in forestry arb. i tell u now the courses hav only given me a tiny insight into the industry and you'll need 2 years experence at least to emigrate. But after 4-5 years out of college i finally feel like im gettin somewhere. college was great fun. the lads the laughs. the birds. the sex. would recomend it to anyone. -
A good wind would sort this credit crunch bollocks out. For the builders and us. Bloody banks and media.
