ms150? very accurate especailly if you are cutting timber with it, less aggressive on the nose if you were boring in for jointing.
-
take the bar and chain off and drain fluids, maybe put it in a plastic bag to stop any leakages, then it should be fine, it would be obvious that your not going to be firing it up and carving into chairs then i cant see an issue.

We have been using showa assemblygrip gloves this year, even when climbing they do not wear through after half an hour. I have done a full day rigging on one pair and used them loads afterwards and still havent seen them wear out. Your welcome to a couple of pairs to try them out

You don't get the torque of a 540/201 but for the little cuts where the bigger saws become heavy after a few hours use the 150 is featherweight and easy to use all day!

Indeed. Although I found mine was running rich out the box so drilling it has helped.
-
Mine was 400 with the vat. Very shortly after they were released. Hole in the exhaust is fairly simple. Apply a 5-8mm drill bit in a spinning motion to the side of the exhaust until it goes through. Dead simple Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Carrying a big bottle around slows them down when they are running back from the chipper too

Heres a story on the tree that came up on Facebook. Think the ATF posted it. The whomping willow that's a yew tree in the middle of frithsden beeches. http://m.berkhamstedtoday.co.uk/news/local/end-of-an-era-whomping-willow-of-harry-potter-fame-splits-in-half-1-6115452

I'm surprised it even cut skin it looks a bit knackered that.

Same thing happens round Liverpool. Only you don't get the wheels back!

It doesn't have to go through a pulley, a carabiner or other less expensive thing would do.
-
watching the demos in the trees in the middle i picked up the handy technique of turning a pulling line into a 2:1, attach one end to the truck or another tree and run it through a pulley or something on the top of the tree, then pull the end. 2:1 system like a climbing line. will be using that for sure, i have thought you can add a pulley and a prussic for progress capture too if its a back leaner or you don't want to rock it too much!

I am after building a table. And would like to get hold of a nice big tabletop piece. Something with a nice characteristic grain would be great. Brown oak would be the dream table! Spalted beech probably difficult in that size. I've seen some curly sycamore and that's quite interesting. Is there anything available? What sort of cost am I looking at?
-
'Genuine reason for sale' is that because it's crap?
-
As mad as it sounds. Yes!
-
If you think a particular ornament or piece of garden furniture will be in the way or get broken. It probably is/will so move it. This is a guarantee if its those solar lights. Reducing the targets for the climber will make the job easier as faster. A divot in the turf is better than a bench with a haemorrhoid hole! . On that topic, don't look at solar lights too hard. They will break!
-
No. Looks like hazel?
-
Mines great. Doing 10"+ cuts with it in beech the other day. There is an 8mm hole in the exhaust though.
-
ours will be on two large sheds with very shallow roof angles, direct sun light will catch half of them as soon as it rises over the horizon, then get it all day, the other side of the sheds should get it almost till sunset. So we are in an ideal spot, no trees or other shade at all to hinder them. We are coupling this with a biomass burner to generate heat for most of the buildings in the yard.

we are having a 4kw system installed for our farmhouse, 4 bed. on a single phase system you can now get battery storage. At night when they aren't generating you end up pulling back off the grid and you then get charged. having the batteries means you generate the nights leccy in the day and any that is over the capacity of the batteries is back on the grid anyway, so for the extra cost it makes it worthwhile. Having a higher output will just mean you put more back on the grid = get paid more. So it sort of makes sense, finance can be arranged for them so it turns it into a very good way of getting free leccy! Aswell as this are are installing a 3 phase system, not sure what kw output it is but will produce a lot more than we need for round the yard.

Do Barchams sell those coniferous silver maples? They would be great to plant next to my White Barked Weeping willow!

Another one of them long days See you down there Kev Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If I was closer mine would be available with an operator.
