    What a larf! Even dentists complain about low prices/undercutting/ recently trained yoofs.

    Hold on a minute, blaming "Fat cats" for this bloke getting himself crushed whilst cutting a tree down is a bit daft.
  3. Le Sanglier
    Fair enough, I'll give it a go!
  4. Le Sanglier
    We need pics as proof!

    Ha ha, good clean fun everyone. Enjoyed that:001_smile:

    Absolutely right, If you own your own gear outright then you can afford to go a bit cheaper. Saws and hedgecutters can be replaced with a good days profit. Chippers and grinders though....beware of going too cheap when using those. Lately I have been pushing the use of fires with clients. (Not literally of couse!) Not always possible in an urban setting of course but the overheads, ie diesel and chipper (and paying for disposal of waste) can be considerably less.

    Good vid for an arb firm, shoes? never noticed. Never heard of Red Wing. ('spose I have now!)

    Is it me being suspicious or is your "relative" part of the alternative caravaning club?

    Well I painted it but work has been so busy that it's been on the back burner a bit. Sort of lost momentum but it'll get done. I am off to the uk in a minute to collect a hydraulic thumb for the mini-digger.

    Wise words. It's (normally) all doable, just halve your weights/rigging. Also remember it's all species dependent, dead oak is very different to dead pop.

    I think the key here is splitting. All wood of a certain diameter needs to be split.

    TrioBrake

    Le Sanglier replied to G Goss's topic in Chainsaws

    I have only recently started using the brake a bit more. It looks pretty good to me. I can see forestry workers warming to it more than tree surgeons who are always (often) using saws in "unconventional" ways.

    I don't bother with straight either, doesn't seem to matter. As for the bolts are you cleaning them out thoroughly? then WD40, tap in the tool with a hammer, should be good to go. Torque settings? tight as you can! There is an art to loosening tight bolts, It involves steady pressure not incredible hulk stuff. Possibly replace the pockets themselves, that can help.

    Wow! seem to recognise that Mog from on here somewhere, straight bit of road, I dont suppose they are too stable, from what I can see he has a load of chip and a chipper on the rear. Hope no one was hurt.

    I think Mozza was being funny For clarity I have always assumed that the heated handle are some kind of electrickery. How do they work?

    Is it conceivable that he is confusing a slipping clutch with a banana cutting chain trapped in the cut and revving out? just a thought.

    20 saws and hedge trimmers! gutting! Hope the insurance comes good.

    Hi there, nice job! where are the brickworks? ( Old West Sussex boy!)

    LPG eh? I had a 4 litre Jeep converted and had the following problems. 1; The tank only holds 80% of its capacity so 100 litre tank only holds.....well you get the idea. 2;You can end up like a smack head driving round endlessly searching for LPG, make sure there are plenty of garages near you! Petrol at 12 to 15 mpg is cripplingly expensive!

    I've Never heard of this saw, do you have a link? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    I have used stihl oil in huskys and vice versa, no real problems.
  22. Le Sanglier
    Sorry only 200s
  23. Le Sanglier
    Yeah I guess, trouble is it's all 201 from now on. Got 4 or 5 in various states of disrepair. Hindsight eh! always 20/20.
  24. Le Sanglier
    UPDATE! It started playing up again after 2 good days. I give up! It's going to the shed for spares. I wouldn't mind but that's €300 odd for nothing. Half the price of the replacement 201 Live and learn!

    I'm joining this late Tony, why don't you just chit 'em like normal?
