Do you install a cambium saver from the ground though or just when you reach the top?

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

Hi mileage vehicles, and people sliding off the seats rather than stepping in and out.

Not sure.... all i know is i was told if its twisted syc then its worth something otherwise its firewood? i'll be checking answers out to this thread

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.....

Well i originally wanted to work under someones wing nd learn from them, but thats gone out of the window i'm afraid. Not sure what help, its not specific just in general theoretical, inspection/hazard/strength , fungus, allsorts. Will get some more info on the isa cert and rfs course.

If you want your own truck, chipper and equiptment..... bye bye 10k

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

Out of curiosity and performance of the saw, are you a 12" bar man or a 14" bar man?

Horrible to hear this!! Where abouts are you?

Is it a 13mm nut now then?

What you think of the study guide etc? I can't really seen much benefits from being a member at the moment other than the addition of the isa member sticker on the side of my truck lol also the isa has to be re done every 3 years whereas the rfs doesn't? ??

Hi there Just wondering if its going to be benifical to be an isa arb memeber..... I am very interested in furthering my knowledge, with no one around here willing to give input or any help on the subject. I was thinking of either the RFS or the isa cert. I am at the beginning of the ladder in theory arb. I was looking at becoming a member with the isa to look into doing the cert exam at some point. Was looking into getting the study guide combined with the audio cd. Going for the 140.00 a year package with the 12 anually magazines. I have only been self employed for a year or so and its quiet and tough at the moment. But thought i can be furthering my knowledge during the quiet parts. Are there any other benifits from becoming a member? other than the discount on books and the member sticker and magazines? Would look into purchasing the revision book and audio cd as stated and also the "art and science of practical rigging" maybe a few others at some point. Although not sure people (customers) will value the isa cert arb round here due to amount of people doing tree work but it would be something that i would feel good about doing. Any opinions and or advice? Cheers

Lol haha I've never used a husky 338xpt but was just comenting on shape I've seen one and heard it, it sounded a little micky mouse though

No comments on the saw being wider? or so i thought when i looked at one, to plasticy. I talk abbout when you haven't clipped you saw to your harness and try to advance to a new position, then it gets stuck in a fork etc!! where as the husky 338xpt had a pear drop shape back end? Thought it would have been nice to produce something not so "Square" at the back end....

Agree with Skyhuck here, Dick Leigh is a top man! Do you think that the saw will be a pain for getting stuck in forks etc as its got fatter at the back end and the shape doesn't seem to slope so to speak....?

What kind is it etc? There's someone on here with a missing greenmech...

I agree, there is a lot of difference between 3 bags and 10! also he's a local firewood chap aswell, why let him take credit for your product? Customers may say, "X" sells really good wood, and reccomend there "friend" etc to him. Maybe stick to your guns and sell, both seasoned and un seasoned at 45? depends how you want to do it

Poplar i'd say

Lol sorry, i posted that in agreement with you but didn't write it in

The seasoned wood was green once so took the same effort to process, so why would it be cheaper! 45 quid each for the 3 seasoned (maybe less if he's a really good customer) and 40 quid each for the unseasoned. Explain gone back to normal price on the seasoned as thats how much they are, and theyre 40 quid for the unseasoned and over the 7 bags is a good discount.

All my seasoned wood has gone, but i'm only small scale and its just what i bring back from jobs etc still it helps!

Hell fire thats bad!

I saw that one starting at 300 quid.... thought it was a bit steep myself for what it is.... didn't look at it in much detail was just put off with the starting price...

Don't worry i didn't take it like that
