    I reckon the reason the vibes FEEL better is because of the finer chain, so allowing for this it makes sense. I really like the saw, for the vast majority of the reductions i do this is going to be awesome, tipping out on a light reduction all day is going to be so much easier and loving the narrow bar tip for detail/fine workin forks or close unions

    PH not an issue with beech and chalk:thumbup1: even if it was its a very small trace amount that would rinse away to soil

    there is some justification but it tends to be sunscald, which is predominant on beech having a sunny aspect (south facing) and being over pruned. I was told recently by one Member that to chalenge accepted wisdom one has to be a moron, so up to you who you chalenge and how, dont take my comments seriously, I am a moron!
