    Anyone had any experiance of the above? Looks clever, though I dislike having to buy their bar and chain to use it... I use Oregon chain atm and its brilliant, but having to buy a whole new rig just to sharpen with a fancy doo-dah I think is silly, unless this Powersharp thingy is the mutts nutts. Do we think the Powersharp is good or a gimmick? Anyone used one? PowerSharp sharpens chain on the saw, on the job, in seconds Cheers, Sam

    Cool vid mate, filming and sawing must be a wee bit tricky! Im not getting at you, but why no saw gloves? I never use a saw without them, is it normal to not bother? Sam

    Johnsi's advice is sound, let them know there will be legal consquences. Failing that hire a hacker to shut it down Sam

    I am on flat ground (Cheshire, its only got two hills!) but I did a demo on a ATV course (45 degree slopes) and it coped just fine. A friend of mine who is the head grouse keeper on a estate in Scotland (about as hilly as you like) is having trouble keeping his keepers on quads! They are all after them! One estate I know of has a Polaris Ranger (The 4 seater "crew cab" version) running on tracks. Beats a quad hands down apparently, though I havent seen it myself. If I was doing serious hill/bad ground work you cant beat an Argo, other than price. To be honest I think the Kuboto is more veristile than a tractor, its just easy, fastish on the roads, can pull well enough for me. Im still in the camp of my Honda Foreman for now

    UTVs?

    Sam Thompson posted a topic in General chat

    Anyone using UTVs for Arb/Forestry work? We got ours the other day and so far I am very impressed. Nevert thought I'de say it but I could see it replacing the quad for what we do soon. Its offroad ability is amazing, well compared to what you would think, and its could carry a fair bit too. Ours is a Kubota RTV 500 in orange with a roof and windscreen. Thinking that (if needed) it could cary a chip box on the back (not a huge one). Will try and get some pics up this weekend Sam

    Tht old blue landy isnt for sale is it? Sam
  25. Sam Thompson
    If not I would recomend Buxtons Forestry & Arb. They stock a brilliant range and have pretty keen prices too. Was in there the otherday and they had some Stihl type As for £50 odd quid! I have bought from them numerous times and their service is excellent. Safety Trousers- Protective Chainsaw Trousers for Arborists Sam
