that second vid is priceless!

he's a brilliant rider and the video is really well put together. those front flips from a flat roof are insane!

its very hard to get a discount here in france, they dont sell stuff like in the uk, in the uk you always ask the dealer for the best price and he'll normaly sort you something out, here they jsut go, its there... on the ticket:sneaky2: you'd have to be buying 4 or 5 to get a good deal on them here. in my local dealer they are now 375euros this year. saws in general are not cheap here, last year i got a ms660 and i came to the uk for it as it was under £900 but here in france they are 1500euros!!

done.

i second that, brilliant book and easy to follow.

you will often find them with a 14inch bar, that is the standard bar they are sold with here in france. as i started out on a very small budget i have had a 192t from the start, i have been using it as my main climbing saw for 3 years now and never had a problem with it, they are not that fragile (nothing broken yet). jthey are maybe a little under powered, but i have fitted a pico bar and chain (still 14inch) to mine and it runs really well on that.

haha, so are you saying to put the boards on the roof rack and drive across under them, or to put the boards down and reverse over them?? i like the boards idea, when in place so the chipper dont move, befor un hitching, take the jocky wheel out and knock a short scaffold pole into the ground then use the clamp of the jocky wheel to hold it to it.

some of the thing we see here in france are really bad, at the weekend i was talking from behind the bar in my girlfriends bar, to a guy with a baseball cap all cut up on his head, his mate said how you get your hat like that??? the respoce was " i was felling for firewood this morning, saw kicked up and whoosh..... my cap shot off across the wood"....... the peak of the hat was half cut through and a line of holes up the top...... he was so lucky not to have lost half his face! a little later his mate from the hunt came in and was moaning at him that there was nothing about because he had been making so much noise with his saw and the respoce was "oh you should have come over, i had plenty of beers to go round!" i think some of the heath and safety rules i hear about in the UK are abit over the top, people dont think for themselfs so it almost makes more accidents because people jsut follow the rules without thinking, but here in france it is in need of a minimum of health and safety!!

i got in the good books today we are now engaged

a quick look on the net, between €349 and €375, in france.

i've been using a 192t for 3 years now and its great little saw, smaller and lighter than the 200t and yes it is less powerful but its got plenty of power, especialy as i changed the bar and chain for smaller pico chain, it spins great with it. here is france it sells more than the 200t, or thats what all stihls adverts say. i think that like 18stoner said, they wont introduce it into the uk as it would take sales away from the more expencive 200t. (in france the 192t is nearly half the price of the 200t)

where in france are you visiting? most stihl stockists have it, i'm in brittany and know of 4 local stores that have it. you dont need any paperwork to go and buy one either.

looks good stuff, liked!

cool idea, but dont think health and safty will like it...... would it work for chippers too?

do you have a parts list like that for the MS 192T, please? cheers

how about this for a new angle for work..... cut and chuck straight into the truck, no need to drag away..... Disposal Services Authority

2 years ago i felled a chestnut that was frozen, no problem felling it, cut into rings as cliant wanted to use it for firewood, came to split the rings, between 18 and 30inch dia, they went through a dream, one swing of the axe and a 30" ring splits into 4 or more pieces

maybe you could help out the guy with an oak tree stuck on the uni building!! lol

that looks good fun!

well if your mate fells the wrong tree, you can stick it back together again now

that is brilliant!

when i did a diploma in horticulture in 2002, we where shown and did a practical for felling small trees with axes. its a basic skill that shouldnt be lost. it only becomes a dangerous thing to do if the information is not out there to learn... they wont stop selling axes, so a person could go and buy an axe without being able to get hold of the information on how to use it and then go and attack a tree, thats dangerous!! i think the basics of using one to fell a tree should be kept in your book.
