I flip mine over in these conditions,as I believe it stops carb icing.

Nice takedown!

I have the small echo top handled saw,its no stihl on power,but at 26cc thats to be expected.Very reliable,runs nice,and great for light reduction, & connies.

Google 'silver leaf in prunus',& it should tell you when you can prune your tree with no problems of infection. Or read this link; Silver leaf / RHS Gardening Advice
-
If its in your throat mate try gargling salt water two or three times a day,it is horrid but it helps kill off the infection,& sooth the throat,a spoon full of honey every now & then is realy good too,& thats nice!!

The 192t will be no good for take downs,or anything over 4or5 inches diameter.go 200t,try FR Jones.

I wont give them anything,these people get wages to reward contracts so they are already sorted. -
Light dust masks may be the way forward,that stuff does get your throat!

Oh thats sore mate,look after it,& make sure the dressing isnt too tight,if your finger goes numb loosen it off,youwant good circulation round that.

Thats fine,the old way of climbing,you can use both ends of your climbing rope with that tecnique too,so you can effectively climb with just one length of rope,working end over end as you go up. The only thing is you are meant to be tied in twice when working,leaving you with no escape line set up in case you have to get out quick.

Ouch!and in cold weather too! Get better soon,what's the damage?
-
Got one on my landy & its great,loads more grunt,regards fuel economy,it might help if you can keep your right foot light,if not it wont! Sounds a little bit dear too,look about for a better price.

A.Hippo full of concrete - any advice?
geoff replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
Ive gat a large willow trunk thats fallen into a semi-dry pond,the trunk is also filled with concrete,& the client wants it gone. Thinking about cutting along its length as much as I dare,then trying to open it up with wedges made of oak. Not a nice prospect for the saw,but being a semi rotten willow Im going to use some old chains on it to save killing a nice fresh chain. My thinking is that once Ive opened it up I may be able to pry the comcrete out with a six foot bar,or at least get a swing at it with a sledge. -
Yep,around £250.
-
A 1.5 m trunk...if it was of any length I would drop a six foot bar on it,disc it & be done with it. The discs could be quartered with a smaller saw.
-
I wouldn't let it bother you,your price for 3 blokes & the kit sounds about right to me,the other guy must be hard up for work if he is doing it for £200.

I have lived off the land in my own way ,some years ago,I eat what I could forage & kill,But did earn money of sorts,I had a horse & 4 wheel trolley,bow saw & axe & a few sheets of canvas with old carpet for a 'fly sheet',ended up roofing the cart with ash hoops for a home,& made another cart to go out on the road to earn a bit running scrap,hauling logs out the wood for firewood,all manner of things to turn a shilling,boot fairs included. Was a good life in many ways in this country,so not realy survival stuff,more a way of living,had about 4 years at it!
