the Echo bars clog up quite easily especially on pine and poplar, to clean the bar oil channel is quite tricky sometimes. I use a stiff bristled brush, brake cleaner and the air line. Do not tighten up the bar stud retaining nut too much as they can be a weak point.

i have clear plastic boxes with the information of the chains gauge and length written on a sticker. It's a really straight forward system. I have lots of boxes as i carry spares for several sized saws from tiny climbing saws up to large cross cutting saws. It makes a stock take easy to do too. When i put the chains into a box i spray over them with WD40 to prevent any rust forming.

The feds were keen to nail him as he'd previously murdered an undercover policeman in his garden years earlier. I had read somewhere that Noye took the knife off the young man and stabbed him with it. Glad he was put away for as long as he did, shame he is now out.

some cameras have a 'mirroring function' which reverts the viewed image to be 'the right way around' so as to make it easier to interpret. My Jap pickup truck and her Hyundai have the wipers/winkers at odds to one another, then throw in the Transit into the mix and it makes for an interesting first few miles of any journey till i figure it all out!

i believe they do. I'd happily buy a LHD vehicle for use in the UK and kit it out with a camera.

i suspect you're referring to Blackdown Tree care (good look with that!) who are a different company to Blackdown Environmental who are based close to Honiton, Devon.

I hafta say some farmers round 'ere are downright lunatics when it comes to trailer loading and two in particular that i know very well are the opposite and appear to do thing right. @difflock your common sense approach sounds aok to me and i try and operate the same way. A'int Wickla lovely though ?

3 mins 10 secs into this video, i reckon this is the kiddy.

brilliant, but if something fails you will most likely not have the time to unclip so i'd rather something that will disconnect if/when it all 'goes wrong' as i do not want to be struggling with 200kg of wood hanging off my strop. The clamping yer legs around the stem is a great idea and i do that from time to time.

agreed on the zip ties as they do work for sure and Joe yer right as regards they do not tend to fall over once you are stropped in. I simply like the idea of having something that can be reused, plus 'we all love these special bits of kit'!

Thanks Paul, i do love a good pun 'stroppy' !!

Thas a helpful comment on a job you have not seen. 2 trees, i deader than hell and crispy, the other solid and taller so ideal for a remote, main anchor point. No access for a MEWP, Tracked cherry picker, crane etc. No other trees close enuf to string up a temporary horizontal anchor between them. I am interested to see what reusable rig was used when this subject was discussed previously on Arbtalk. A fair swing indeed. a re-settable rig is better than using cable ties as it'd be quicker to reset plus you may only use such a setup a few times per year but once it's proven and in your armoury it can be reused over and over again when required.

The likes of Beranek and Coates are great ambassadors for safe working practices.

Anyone remember this having been discussed before (maybe 2 or 3 years ago) as i cannot find the thread. It was discussed at length, basically some of us use a remote main line tied into a solid tree whilst standing on spikes and stropped around a dodgy / decayed stem that may fail so a break away strop is required. A few chunky cable ties can be used as they are 'the weakest link in the chain' so to speak but a reusable / re-settable device would be ideal. What say ye?

agreed, said Bearcat was available with a 20 or 25HP petrol enjun and a 28 or 48HP diesel enjun. basically all the same machines apart from the power unit and pulleys. I ran a 25HP petrol one for over 2 years and it was a bit tiresome to use on anything over 4'' in diameter especially as my one didn't have a stress control fitted as this was an optional extra when it was new. Having said that they are very easy to work on and i sold it on for £500 more than i originally paid for it. I did buy a diesel one too but it needed a lot of work so i sold it to a mate as i wanted shot of it!

Dan was it on a new Greenmech EVO 165? regardless of the stated BHP output i would be more interested to see the torque curve of the old V1505 versus the new V1505. The infeed capabilities are more important to me than outright power. Julian was here yesserday and had one behind his Ranger so i had a look at it briefly, the EVO 'looks and feels' really well put together, i really liked it. The EVO weighs in at just over 1 ton so i guess they are classed as a heavy duty machine. Really classy looking bit of kit.
