    arb waste

    As above I would class arbwaste as shi*ty chip, Connie rakings and sawdust, unsplit rings and short lengths of round wood would be better description
  5. Could they of actually done anything , if it was just chipping you could of drained the tank and filled with red, then swapped to white for drive home
  6. I would say it looks like ash, looks a bit far gone, log it up for firewood

    value

    Hi I've got an old stihl 028 av its got made in west Germany stamped on it, got an 18inch Oregon bar with replaceable tip must been on there 20 years and the paint is only just rubbing off. Chain is about 3/4 worn, been sat in garage 6 months started 4th pull on old fuel, runs really well just put it through some 20 inch wood, idles fine and picks up straight away, had the av mounts done last year. How much would you think was worth I've got quite a collection of newer saws I just don't need or use it anymore?

    Pick ups

    That's a lovely job you've done of that hilux aspen, ive never had any trouble with a hilux clutch they will do 120_130k on the original I've pulled 3 ton trailers and the trucks been loaded I've dragged large butts out of woodland I've pulled trees over with it, they seem very low on maintenance just look for 1 that's not got rot under it, there plenty double cabs about and they often havnt been abused as much as the single cabs. Hold out for a clean mk3 or 4 you easilly pick one upin very good comdition for 3k and when you go to sell it you will prob make money on it
  11. There are some piss takers on eBay this popped up when I checked to see how much a saw fetched. How do they get away with it and who is gullable enough to buy 1 stihl engined petrol chainsaw new stihl engined chainsaw petrol | eBay
  12. What was the moisture content? Lol
  13. Who should I try for a yard tractor but in process of getting it registered with dvla, Its never been registered so I dont have a log book if it gets put on a Q plate does this increase the premium like it does with cars and trucks, I couldn't get quote for a hilux on a Q plate?

    I can't seem to keep the chain properly tensioned every time I go to fuel up I have to adjust the chain tension then its really slack when I have to fuel up done a couple hours cutting from new its on a Oregon chain can't see its the chain stretching that much. It doesn't seem to be oiling that well can't see oil coming off the bar I've got the oiler turned up to max. What am I doing wrong?
