need to hire a flail / verge mower in north west
RobRainford replied to David Riding's topic in General chat
Yeah it's linked to hydraulics so when it's in travel it can be moved back to centre -
I do prefer to take more frequent breaks and take lots of small sandwiches so then at each break you could have a sandwich and it replaces the crbs and energy you need. Bananas are great for energy too!

I was told a comment 'if your not man enough to wear type c's then you shouldn't wear any!'
-
No problem ed. It was a good day. Hope to have more days like that. I'll get the pics on facebook and vids on YouTube in the next day or so

what width are you looking for? i know a guy who has a 3m flail mower. -
try ebay for parts aswell, found mister solutions was a good price, its a £ per inch of bar, i bought a chain for my 200t, and he sent me 2, for just under £14. genuine stihl chains too!
-
I had a problem with my 260 not oiling very well or at all. If I shook it it would let some through for a bit buy I just took it to my local stihl guy and he put a new system in it. Now the oil is coming out nicely. The chain is soaking 10 seconds after a cold start. He also put a new diaphragm, carb kit and spark plug. And chucked a service in for free!

After a 9.30-5.30 day in the sun and drinking about 3 litres. I've ended the day with mild heat exhaustion. And mild sunburn! I was chipping a brash pile accumulated over 6 months. A full day and it's still needing a few hours tomorrow morning! Just a message to say make sure you drink more than enough and if you feel tired have a minute!

this is my favourite comment: This wasn't a subtle attack; it involved the use of a chainsaw to cut through the trunk. well, it was hardly a hungry beaver wasnt it?
-
is it ok to do that and not cause any problems? just because there is no spark arrestor but idk if that would make a difference if there never was one. ill make the hole a bit bigger then my sunday is gonna be fuunnn!
-
yeah i will do that too, only needs the slightest adjustment as its such a small modification, maybe get a video too!
-
i do like the look of that spyder outfit, that reminds me, i do actually snowboard! i forgot about that!
-
i have recently modded the muffler on my 260, but i am yet to try it in some wood, hopefully this weekend! I opened up the two existing holes marginally and evenly and on the little box on the inside i added a few more holes and made them a fair size, its very discreet and it sounds ace now, i feel it revs up slightly qiucker and seems like there is mroe power there across the band will post up what i find!

i have a 200t, ms260, 039, husky 365 and a 357 and currently keeping hold of a 340 for a friend, all of these leak some oil, the huskys do actually leak more. the 357 and 340 have been sat for a while but leak oil, the 039 isnt too bad but the 200t and 260 both leak oil
-
i have noticed this with a few saws i own, if not almost all of them, they are sat on steel shelves so anything that comes off will sit there, when i pick them up there is a puddle of chain oil sat in their place, and i was wondering what i should do about it?
-
i have used one for tree work, i know a guy who uses only these harnesses. They are fine for trees, they come out as a good cheap alternative too! I find them good having a fixed D and a sliding D, you have a choice!

heres my attempt, original pic and then photoshopped to give the desired effect

I've bought some new ropes after considering it. Some 14mm double esterlon some 12 strand xtc and some xtc honey bee to give me a good range to practice on. Was hoping to be able to use the honey bee as a lanyard if it turned out right. Although its probably notthe best idea.
-
im gonna say the one that hasnt made it there!
-
the only hobby i need! not really, i hardly watch telly. dont actually think i have many past times, most spare time is either with the gf or sleeping or playing in my container with the saws and stuff. wow that makes me seem so sad
-
with shorts that short i would definately ask him to stand further back!
-
so yeah came back from a week away got some 11mm double braid from B&Q. they want almost £4 per metre which just seems stupid as there are no strength ratings or anything for it. considering we can buy working ropes from anywhere for half the price? i think i will buy some of those splicing fids for the ropes. Ill send the PM over now!

busted!...
