    So numb nuts rides through a red light and thinks it's fine to avoid any consequences by being a smart arse. Hopefully next time he does it he'll get wiped out by a bus.

    I suspect everyone who's ever been involved with lighting bonfires will have done this at least once, I know I have. The crazy thing is it never ever works! The petrol just burns off and leaves a load of blackened branches behind. Glad you're ok, not everyone is so lucky.

    I used to get it really bad as a kid, sneezing, itchy eyes the lot. The only thing that worked was Beconase nasal spray. Then in my late twenties it just seemed to stop, the only time I get it now is when strimming long grass in June. The only snag is, that as the hayfever subsided I started to get asthma instead the main trigger for that seems to be fungus spores.

    It looks pretty healthy to me, just a bit of leaf scorch which could be caused by many things. It's not Phytopthera ramorum if that's what you were thinking.

    £15-17 an hour round here. Any less and you're not making a living once you've paid your costs. Winds me up when people expect you to do it for £5 an hour like the old boy down the road used to.

    Why fight it? Just create a bog garden, big gunnera, some primulas that sort of thing.

    So a stack in deep shade will dry just as quickly as one in full sun? I don't think so!
  8. Len Brennan
    Stack them properly with an air gap between each row and try to get some sun on them, makes all the difference.

    I'd start off with a 13 especially if you're working in tight spots coppicing etc. I started with one on my 346xp and never felt the need for anything longer even for small felling jobs.

    Only blokes with big bushy beards are allowed to operate machinery like that. It's the law

    Absolute genius

    I just use a stump vice

    I have a small first aid kit on my belt when I'm using a saw and one in the van, I don't need another one strapped to my combi can. I wasn't being 'negative' just expressing a preference.
  14. Len Brennan
    Will it be available without the first aid kit? I'd prefer to keep peterol and bandages seperate

    Hi Axel, Am I likely to experience any problems swapping my 1999 vintage Husqvarna 254xp on Aspen?
  16. Len Brennan
    For axes and mauls brands like Gransfors and Wetterlings are highly regarded and there is a Fiskars splitting axe which owners rave about. As far as general workshop tools go, the Draper Expert range isn't bad but brands like Teng, Britool and Snap On are better IMO.

    When I got my first motorbike at age 17 petrol was 36p a gallon!! Mind you, you could buy a suit, have a good night out and put a deposit down on a house and still have change from a tenner!

    Superb

    Find out if you've got a local orchard group. The one near me has a garden shredder that they use for pulping up the apples and a press and all the associated gubbins. I'm pretty sure they loan it out for a small fee.

    Not wishing to be branded a heretic or anything but is this actually any quicker or easier than ringing up a trunk the traditional way, ie cut 2/3 of the way though from the top, roll the log 180 degrees and cut the remaining 1/3? Don't you have to keep repositioning the Log Jack after every few cuts?

    I've got one of those Alpkit ones and it's great. I'd had it about a year when one of the lugs on the battery compartment snapped off. Phoned Alpkit and they sent me a nee one foc. Only problem is the elastic has gone a bit baggy and isn't adjustable. Highly recommended though.
  22. Len Brennan
    Done

    Thank tree_beard, that's a useful link. I'll go and hassle my local dealer with some part numbers.
  24. Len Brennan
    Anyone out there?

    Also need a decompression valve, mine's lost its button. Are bits like this still available from Husky dealers?
