  1. Sounds like the saw has bedded in & reduced the enginges friction,could just want the tickover lowered,or maybe a tweek on the H & L screws,then tickover lowered,if you dont know how to do these take the saw back to the dealer for a tune up,dont mess with the H screw if you are unfamiliar with them or you could damage the saw.
  2. Ouch, hope that gets better soonest,nasty accident.
  3. No,Felix,but he didn't want me in the truck when the job was done!
  4. Great video,& impressive work there,not your average footage & that makes it a very good watch for me. Nice climbing too.
  5. Condensation/water in the mewps tank,so it conked out,oh well no worries,out comes the absail bag,down I go..& land awkward on a bit of brash,let myself down a bit more & end up with dog mess as my new best mate all up one leg.
  6. Heathen!
  7. The quick tensioner should not be a problem,Its not sprung,just works a big cog wheel instead of a screw tread like a traditional tension device,so you can adjust the tension of the chain to suit youself if you want.
  8. I would check out the chain speed,might not be fast enough for the job,just a thought.
  9. What a fantastic tree!
  10. Hiya Adam,looking forward to your input here,sounds like it will be interesting.
  11. My thoughts exactly when I saw the vid! Nicely dealt with but what a horrid looking lump to deal with.
  12. They fascinate me too Mark. & before he starts, Felix the chopper that is,NO DONT!
  13. Got through to HB this evening,as no mobile reception on site today,they will phone me in the morning (saturday),& let me know for sure when to expect your new boots. I like Stephen blairs list idea,cool one.
  14. Thats horrible,ruining a man's work.
  15. I have a Samsung GT B2100 Solid Extreme ,superb fairly basic phone,tough as anything Ive had ,& Iv'e had it in my beer glass ringing a few times just to watch it make bubbles. Very good work phone imo.
  16. Couple of bannanas for me,one with my two cups of tea,the other on the way to work. I'm not that hungry in the mornings,but you have to run on something.

    346 or 550?

    Only had my 346 for just under a year,but the saw is lovely,& has proved itself completely reliable under hard work.
  18. Maybe because the christians,( or any faith for that matter), feel an affinity towards each other,no worries there imo,also nowadays they are in a minority,as are most faiths,that will always encourage those with faith to seek out & recognise each other. If I see in my travels another who has a similar interest to me I will if possible touch base & say hello,isnt that why we are all on arbtalk? Its human nature I think.

    If it is to be your main saw then the above makes a lot of sense to me,especialy if you already like the 346xp,I love mine.
  20. You could try using a munter hitch on a crab atatched to you bridge underneath your blakes if its a bit jumpy,heres a link. Munter Hitch - How to tie a Munter Hitch
  21. Thats interesting Huck,I have a field I use for my chip & log store,I have had previous with the council over this, (someone moaned),ignored it all,& it all died a death,that bit of trouble was over 12 years ago. I have planted up some small areas with fruit trees & a few oaks,& willow in the lower areas. Had no contact with the powers that be for years now,other than getting the tree officer over there to tpo an oak on the boundry that was under threat,& used that as a litmus test to see if they kicked off again about my nefarious activities.
  22. Surely the hardening/tempering process is a big part in how long a file will last?
  23. I will give them another call in the morning & see if they have got the others back yet,& make sure you get the return pair asap. Sorry for the size mixup:blushing:
  24. Thats great news on your counciling Predator.
