  1. Well my memory is not as good as I seem to remember it used to be ,sometimes it works bang on,then I find out I have had a 'blank' on something....maybe its age/knocks to the nut/stress. Anyone know of some head game or quiz type thing that helps get the sparks flowing, that you can do in your head any time or place when you get those spare times? They got to be semi fun or I will forget to do them!
  2. Sorry to hear this mate,you must be gutted.
  3. I did read,& was quoting to this,maybe you didnt see it. ''What you want me to wait while you arse around checking numbers when I know they will fit mine?????'' Now that clears that up we can move on.
  4. Surely if you only want them for 'stock',its no hassle to wait.
  5. Thats fine mate.
  6. Well done Jenny on your run,& in raising the funds,top work lass!
  7. Top vid Silky,keep them coming mate! I realy enjoyed that.
  8. Congratulations mate!
  9. Nowt wrong with that,nice rig Daniel.
  10. Heres my mutt last year,took to carrying it around with him for a while. img043 by geoff321, on Flickr
  11. Stunning transformation! That looked a tough one to do.
  12. Easy peasy mate,just saturate the water with salt in solution,weigh a litre of the liquid & use the liquid to run your test!
  13. Bump:biggrin:
  14. Oh,I agree with you there,it is the way forward on the points you raise.
  15. Wouter,I would agree that the T536LiXP cuts faster than the 150t & 260tes,(I have both these petrol saws),I like the Husky cordless having had one on trial for a couple of weeks.I was trying to adress Treespotter's post,& I suppose my points on the saw are that I found it slightly back heavy,& would realy like to see a smaller/carving bar on it for precision cuts. I very much like the Husky,& will consider buying one when it has been around for a while,& to see what competition turns up from the likes of Stihl.
  16. Well done Jenny,popped my penny in there too. Come on lads,lets double the target!
  17. Sorry,But I dont quite get the point,other than it being a smaller chain,with less cambium disturbance on softer barked trees. I would think a sharp chain with a fast speed is hard to better. Aside from this,I have been reducing some maples today with the ms150t today,the pointed bar & very small chain,combined with good chain speed gave excelent results,I would like to see a similar 'carving bar' on the husky saw. How does the husky saw compare with the likes of the 150t,or the small echo top handle on chain speed,& do you consider this relevent to cutting 'as well'?
  18. I agree,the bank bail out puts us all in debt,it has to be paid off by our taxes etc,they have not directly dipped into our acounts,but we are paying for it,& will be for years to come,alongside the national debt which is all but insurmountable. We are partly to blame as a lot of people just borrowed too much,the financial institutions encouraged this,& the gov at the time were at it more than anyone.
  19. Its a good little saw,& has a few advantages over petrol saws,such as quieter,faster run down off trigger,no pull cord to start etc,I was not overly taken by the balance of the saw. But no way will it be a saw for a take down,purely for pruning,& for that I prefer the 150t by a country mile.
  20. No way in this world does it cut as fast as a 200t,I have used both,so this is from the horses mouth.
  21. Whilst I respect the old bill,I had a bad doo with them a few years back,I had done no wrong & they knew it,yet one young twerp gave me a propper look & placed his hand over his spray holster,by that action he placed himself in harms way. He was purely after escalating the situation after realising there was not an issue,but took offence to solid eye contact. The other 2 cops were fine,but it only takes one.
  22. I generaly keep all tools in one location on site in clear view of us,& preferably in an area aproachable from a direction not benefiting potential thieves,a light chain with a combination padlock through the handles,so all staff can access the tools without a key. These thieves know that they can grab a saw & still outrun us,we wear boots not designed for speed,but three or four saws + fuel can & blower chained together disadvantages them to some extent. I was hit a few years back,my lockup was compromised & they took all my saws,(including 3 nice sachs dolmars),its no fun turning up at the yard to find everything gone.
  23. Good post Welwell.
  24. Very sad news & loss of a young life.
  25. The chains are so small,not a lot of tooth there,they only want a light brush over to keep them sharp. ya need your glasses on just to see them. But a cracking little saw,& mine has took a good pounding in a rough environment & is good as new. The air filter seems not to get clogged up too fast,but if it does go very gentle on the clean,dont brush it.
