  1. Ok I'll admit it, I don't know what "skip chain" is.

     

    Standard chains have 2 cutters every 4 drivelinks.

     

    Semi skip have 2 cutters every 5 drivelinks.

     

    Full skip has 2 cutters every 6 drivelinks.

     

    Norman - If your bar is stamped 92 DL then order 92 drivelinks.

     

    Frawley's online shop "logger chain" have 73JGX092 chains

  2. Copied from the 2015 Guide to cross compliance in England.

     

    Page 4 - Key dates in 2015.

     

    March 1st - You must not cut hedgerows or trees from this date,but you can carry out hedge laying and coppicing from 1 March until 30 April.Orchards are not included in the ban.

     

    September 1st - You can cut hedge rows and trees from this date.

  3. Seldom find user reviews or owners comments about this rather new saw, introduced a year ago.

     

    I have seen the 543XP(G) available in various shops, and was initially very interested in acquiring this being the lightest saw with heated handles on the market.

     

    Have also been looking at it's nearest competitor, the Stihl MS241, but not interested in the Picco chain at all. So reconfigure it for .325" bar and chain will add to the cost and weight approaching a more general 50cc saw, so my interest in a 43cc halted here. A 550XP(G) suddenly seems a much better choice for our needs.

     

    Still a lighter saw is of a big interest to us, but it seems I have to look into the 35cc to 40cc class of saws, for a more practical difference in weight. I have to accept the 3/8" LP chains, like 91VXL. I also have to give up on heated handles for this smaller class of saws.

     

    You don't have to accept them - use Stihl PS (Picco Super) - full chisel no bumpers.

  4. yep, i got mine from the states, 28" full skip,delivered £26.00, means if my big saw breaks down,i can run 28" on my 372 comfortably

     

    :thumbup: Bought some JGX (LGX full skip) off Frawleys on Ebay , so I can run a 24" bar on my 365 - Should run with an 8 pin.

     

    461 should run 30" of skip with an 8 pin and 36" of skip with a 7 pin.

  5. I do believe that you have to re-sorn said vehicle every year.

    Had a similar thing with a car absolutely no ley way what so ever.

    So would presume it's the same for everything with a log book??? I do stand to be corrected tho

    Are you standing ?:lol:

     

    They have finally seen sense and anything now declared as SORN is until you tax it or scrap it.

  6. all pipes seem ok but look a tad tatty, will check for de laminating in daylight as soon as I can.

     

    it sounds strange, but I just drove it from cold to the garage and it was as bad as described before, just dies on every hill and I am a gear down on normal, put an extra £20 diesel in and a bottle of STP, switched on again and it was like it was a different truck, pulled up a steep hill in third after playing in some puddles.

     

    Replaced the top sender unit last Feb too

     

    Could it be something settling whilst its parked up? as stupid as it sounds im concidering driving somewhere tomorrow morning, switching off for 2 minutes, and then driving to work after that, probably sounds stupid to all of you, but it somehow seems to do the trick? it is a land rover

     

    Fuel starvation due to filler cap not breathing ?
