When knocking off large limbs with big saws, normally unclip saw strop from me, then if saw gets trapped by limb, just let it go. Can always buy a new saw not a new life. Never yet happened to me but just in case it does not go as planned

Hi If you want to do further course in the future do NPTC as it is the norm prerequisite to move forward. Lantra used to be an on course assesment by the trainer, NPTC assesment is carried out by an independant assesor and not your trainer. Hope this helps and is correct as this was how how it was when i did.

We changed from an oil range 12mths ago. We now run Rayburn 355 in kitchen and oil boiler in garage linked together with an H2 panel works very well hardly use the oil at all, only when we are out for long periods and house cools down or we are away. Cant recommend the H2 panel or Mike Smith highly enough.

My 260 chews up sparkplugs about 1 per year, starts to missfire and cuts out. The screw on ferrule on sparkplug(NGK) is loose put new plug in with ferrule nicely tightened runs a dream for about year and then does it again. All my other saws are on same plugs and are OK, so whats prob with the 260. I dnt mind but gets irratating

Just as an update, lost another 2 tyre on tuesday both the proper avon tyre running at 80 psi. Both tyres with distorted profile as if the cords have broken in the tyre were off the same side of trailer, nearside. Guess its the old potholes again and 3t load ?.

If my memory serves me right, think they were the ones on early I/F trailers fitted to split rim wheels. I think the tyres were michelin but were replaced by the present wheel/tyre combination as there were blowing out at motorway speeds. There may be a more modern version of this set up available now. I have had 3 maxmiler and avons blow as well, told it was due to potholes on roads giving impact damage, rupturing the cords.

No prob there, good luck in the hunt.

Near Huntly, I normally work as a team of two but sometimes need an additional climber to help out

Agree with you firethorn bit harsh on the pruning, but my understanding is is you only get silverleaf on stone fruit not on this apple tree which this appears to be.
