slippery

Free to tip logs suitable for burning at home, use the grassed area at the top of the site. Note, steep drive up to the site but is manageable by most cars/trucks

found this, so it's not the first time its happened; http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/65733-sthil-ms170.html I put less and then more oil in the mix to see if it made any difference (it didnt) The mesh is fixed to the exhaust assembly, it doesn't appear to be blocked in any way. I will try change the spark plug....

Can anyone tell me why my ms170 is belching fire out of the exhaust? I have changed the fuel ratio, but doesn't seem to make a difference. The mesh over the exhaust is glowing and a jet of fire, perhaps 60mm cones out when it's been running a few minutes, any one know what's up?

thanks guys. If you ever need to know anything about buiding or joinery....

pictures were taken today, was thinking it would be easier in about two weeks! I don't think it's pear goaty, but I may be wrong

Thats what i was thinking, well along those lines, (damson)thanks stumpgrinder

Do you think this is safe to cut the roots all down one side when it has such a large sail? The building side of the problem is that we will have to dig down up to 3 meters to cast the footings, this brings in loads of problems and may even cause the customer to abandon the project is the costs are too great. Iv'e been in discussion with Building control and the first thing we need to establish is the species as this is needed for their calculations. Even if they can persuade their neighbours to cut it back or down, there are still lots of problems. Cheers for your help guys !

last time i bought a "cube", I was astonished at how little I got for £145 !, especially as when I stacked it, it only measured .6 of a meter! I complained and the bloke brought me some more but it was wet. He saide that the back of his truck was a cubic meter, I told him that I thought a cubic meter should really occupy well over a metre space but he he wasn't impressed. Suffice to say it was the LAST firewood I ever bought!, Now if I run low, I go to builders merchants and get pallets or scrap

yeah we got one but it is a long, boring,cold and smelly process, you can't help thinking you could have cut and split loads of timber in the same time, and it would burn properly!

want a good load of large logs delivered, ready to burn, will pay cash for right amount. also looking for a good load of wet stuff for next season contact chris 07811613562

ah, sorry guys, i don't have anything to do with the festival except buying a ticket, you will have to do the research yourself:001_tongue: good luck!!

at farmer phils festival, 13- 15 august " We are currently searching for a wood supplier for the event so watch this space for more details. You can buy wood at the Texico filling station in Bishops Castle '11 miles'." Home - Farmer Phil's Music Festival Shropshire UK camping is permitted for a week so this could be a lucrative event, just buy me a beer if you get the job ;.]

any body know anything about these? one has come up for sale but i have no idea what theyare like. i nonly use it for firewood, but a lot of it. i was very happy with my ms240 before the pikeys stole it last week

not really sure, thanks though

what he said:biggrin:

well, i decided to tell the insurance company to stick it, but not before telling them what i thought of them, and fixed the lock in two hours at a cost of nowt:001_tongue: i'm not going to even ask about the replacement for the ms240, looks like they will charge me an excess of £250 to give me a voucher of £100 to spend in an approved shop. well, its back to the little husky for now, if anybodies selling one, i'm interested, although i better check fundage now:crying: the police were great as well, i said "don't you want a make, model and description of the chainsaw? "no, thats enough to be going on with" well, i suppose it's just more writing cheers for the support guys:thumbup:

so the insurance company just rang back to tell me they want £450 excess! after much swearing i said "are they going to replace my chainsaw for that?" "no, thats a different claim, you will have excess to pay on that and you are only covered for £100 loss of personal effects" i thought i,d already been robbed, turns out they were only greasing my ring for the insurers to get stuck in fully comp means what now? stay away from gladiator and mma insurance, you would be better without and pay the fines

nice fungus pics, can anyone id?

bastards! I parked behind my van at Sainsbury's in Nantwich and they pierced the door with a screwdriver and hammer, damaging the lock. Luckily, all my power tools are usually kept in the side door that is partitioned off from the back, but i had put my chainsaw in the back as i was doing a roof this week. i rang the insurance and they need to take the van away for repairs, which is a total pain in the arse as the van is a mobile toolchest with everything from drill bits to breakers, and it will up my 7 years no claims as they can't claim from someone else (cheers then)! worst of all, i need the chainsaw, not like you guys, but i need it to keep my huge woodburner going, about a couple of hours a week, have to go back to the shitty little husky now, and don't expect to get anything from the insurers for that! only special markings were the chaingaurd had a cut made by the saw across it diagonally, if you see it, give me a ring on 07811613562 and i'll be sure to get you an ice cream

could have been poplar or alder, poplar burns cold and full of smoke, and alder needs a lot of heat to ignite the gasses

cheers for all the replys! i don't want to give the wrong impression, i have been using chainsaws fro a good while and i am careful, that's why i posted just can't recall where ive seen it, but it involved making two cuts in the compressed face, then upcutting at one or the other sides to stop the stem collapsing:confused1: could have been one of my dreams:blushing:

spot of a dutchman there:lol:

can spell as well:thumbup: 8 it wen pple use txt talk m8:001_tt2:

ok, just tell me how i can think that looks sexy? i already own a small forest axe and a small splitting maul and love them both. i am able to get an unbeliveable edge on both but particularly the small forrest, in fact, i once tried to shave my arm hair with it, only to see it slip effortlessly slip into the skin:laugh1: my wife keeps saying "are you sure thats what you want for your fortieth birthday" in ten days when i asked for the large splitting maul! got mine from proadventure in llangollen (online) price is fine and delivery is quick, and it does'nt have ray mears printed on it (yeugh!!)

hi all, iv'e managed to secure some fire wood from felled trees in railway sidings, but i have not been trained properly on the chainsaw, although i have been using them a few years, and have been a woodcutter (carpenter) for twenty + years. some of these trees are laying against a bank, about 3-5 meters away and slightly above the level of the felling cut, in compression and i know that can be tricky. i recall reading about a cut that was maybe called a top lock? can anyone refresh my memory please??
