Sperian sync muffs and a Bluetooth receiver glued to the side. Dirt cheap and works great.

You’re not going to get anything that will cut and collect properly for that budget. Best bet would be an old ride on mower.

That must be on its knees with the rotator too? The grapple on its own is a lump with my 1.8t. Although well matched with rotator to the 2.7t. maybe I’ll try the rotator too on the little machine!
-
Corded all the way if you’ll be doing it a lot. Top end stihl electric I should think will have most power but probably a minor disappointment still compared to a petrol saw.
-
My local one would be Farols.... and I bet you sure as hell wouldn’t go there! ?So lucky to have dm saws within half an hour. I tried to cultivate a decent relationship with Richardson’s originally but they are a bunch of useless tossers. So yes, if I didn’t have dm saws close I’d buy online every time.

The stuff about greasing the bearing and slackening the chain is, IMHO, bollocks designed to distract from the fact that Stihl ballsed up somewhere. As mentioned, any grease will be gone within the first couple of minutes use. So no danger of overgreasing! As for slackening the chain- it'll only heat up and expand that much if you have no oil there. It's never been an issue on any saw I've used, unless the oiler was faulty or the sprocket badly worn. I always put my saws away after use, and when I come to get them again- perfect chain tension. Just as I left them!

If it really is the land upon which it was produced, then you might get away it. The D7 exemption for burning of green waste only applies to the land upon which it was produced- there may be a similar exemption for composting. If as I suspect you mean trade waste from youir jobs, then no.

Pull it apart properly and clean the jets. Especially the main jet if it's bogging down under load. Also check your air filter- try running it without first. If an engine can't get enough of either fuel or air then it will bog down under load.
-
That's not cleaning and inspecting a carb!
-
Mac vs Windows is like Stihl/Husky vs Mitox. Big difference in price, both will do the job... one is much nicer to use and holds value way better. So doesn't end up costing you any more in the long run. Bit like buying a braad new Ifor Williams.

Major hurdles to clear first with the EA. Can't see it would be worth it trying to do it legally.
-
Nice setup. The Tigergrip is a lovely grab isn't it?
-
They’ll change their mind soon enough when they get the quote.
-
Mac here. Would never use Windows
-
You old had it easy- take all the cash you want, self cert mortgage!! Now here in the South I have to declare (and pay higher rate tax) to afford a half decent house.
-
Yes, make sure you step back and get the camera angle right so that it shows the top half well. post some photos of the tree also
-
No issues here. Maybe with the real cheapies- Waitley are the top end Chinese knockoffs, if that's not too much of an oxymoron!
-
Quick site pic- yes I bleed blue!!
-
Waitley all the way.
-
This has been my experience. None of them ever have a written spec.
-
Poor bugger. Life seems so unfair sometimes.
-
Standard parish councils I’m afraid. Tender ‘processes’ are a joke considering it’s taxpayers money.
-
Probably 50% of companies burn this sort of thing at their yard or pay a farmer. It's certainly not a level playing field.
-
The USA is also the land of strange folk who will wear a big heavy steel helmet and no eye protection whatsoever when felling a tree.

What’s the reason for sale? They didn’t run it long with the tilty by the sound of it.
