  1. hit the back of my hand quite badly with a hammer 2 years ago, that area goes blue in the cold now,the joys of manual work
  2. after years of abuse to my left hand, i now get a really painfull thumb and first finger in the cold,funny but it seems to be worse when i wear gloves, is this a circulation problem ? anyone else find gloves make the problem worse ?
  3. maybe get a husq 372 or stihl 441 etc, 24 " bar, should be able to do some biggish work with one of those

  9. err, are you sure it was a square kilometre? thats a big area lol
  10. agreed hedgeman, but when starting out you have to diversify a bit, i was estate trained , so learned a wide range of skills,and use them all in my business
  11. get a 36" d009 mount oregon sprock nose,go to engineering shop and get them to cut the mount out, i did this for my dolmar 9000, worked great
  12. why not do it for 12 months of the year?,swot up on planting,pruning,leaf clearance etc

  15. husky 365/jonsered 2165, will last a lifetime

  17. any pros and cons with these boots, weight,breaking in etc:thumbup1: or:thumbdown:
  18. partner p100 is the same saw as a jonsered 1020,so you might find more info by looking up the jonsered, hope that helps, cheers, mike
