    Its going to take a long while for the parts bin to fill up with 201t then lol
  2. swinny
    i had a 1999 020t, so between 2000-2002 they must have changed to 200t's then.

    but for starting out etc and horses for courses etc your other carlton was way more expensive than these..... i'd rather buy a secondhand rayco or dosko or dan equip

    swinny replied to WoodED's topic in The Lounge

    Lol yeah storing that lot may be a challenge, i'd store it in my bedroom so i knew where it all was, i have a trust issue

    thought you wanted to get better at making your cuts meet? If so practice and good technique makes better
  8. swinny
    what can be done, is if you fell a tree and leave a slightly higher stump you can then do another practice gob underneath

    i only ask due to if just scrabble up, the extra friction around branches etc, esp on rough bark species..... ok its the same as prussic method but you body thrust then, my only thought is of the added friction when doing the over arm pulling way, if you get me? arms knackered when you get to top

    Where abouts in north yorkshire

    you can buy a good secondhand machine for that sort of money, small stump grinders go for between 1600-1800 quid, then 1800-2250 quid. missed a dosko one that went for 730 quid!! was gutted

    You can do the top cut first, then take slices off as you go down, don't go straight for the bottom cut to match, do a cut a bit above first, then you can see a bit better then do the final cut to meet the top cut Try it

    Are these the orange "rock" ones your talking about?
  14. swinny
    Yup +1 on the ex army gear, thats what my climbing bag is, someone called morgan had mine lol Got one for my rigging gear too but as said the bollard is what causes problems.....
  15. swinny
    Surely the apf will be the best time to buy one? then the husky out too then so can compare... my 200t inc 14" bar was 405 all in in apf 2010 good do really as sold my older 020t's and it paid for a fresh saw

    I've got a hitch climber but i feel like i need to tend the hitch to get it to grip the rope properly, plus i don't like the fact of holding your weight on one arm whilst you tend the line..... am going to give it another go as haven't bothered with it really but, think i'll just end up with a spiderjack so i don't have to hold my weight and tend as it will self tend with minimal sit back

    Do you install a cambium saver from the ground though or just when you reach the top?
  18. swinny
    Check the carb h + l settings are at manufacturor settings, good clean air filter, do the chain tension if necessary.... start the saw and try get the idle to the correct setting chain still spinning then clutch creeping idle still rubbish, then check the tank breather vent, fuel filter and pickup pipe, inlet manifold for splits Apologies if telling you how to suck eggs lol Also if you richen up the l setting and the idle will settle then you have an air leak somewhere

  21. swinny
    I was keeping it sensible'ish, bottom line lol Thats for 2nd hand gear... He could start with a smiley transit and old vermeer etc...... all depends on budget, but its a bottomless pit out there.....
  22. swinny

  24. swinny
    I have only seen 1 method of locking saws up which i thought was any good and it was when i used to sub for someone, they would keep their saws in a BIG old bank safe.... big numb heavy thing, 6" thick door etc
  25. swinny
    Out of curiosity and performance of the saw, are you a 12" bar man or a 14" bar man?
