  1. Whatever's on offer. Most of mine ends up in my brushcutters which seem happy enough with anything red, stinky and two stroke flavoured. I think we tend to over analyse oils in this day and age. Mostly succumbing to the influence of the infernal marketing guff I suspect.
  2. I'm presuming the price quoted was for a box fresh article from your dealer's stock? If so how about you ask him what they'd want for the 'ex-demo saw' you've been using at a 'reduced to clear' price?

    Gypies

    I wonder what a gypsy would do if you left an old microwave out on your drive.....with a black cat inside it?
  4. So are button mushrooms grown on buttons?
  5. Only allowed to watch forest porn when the boss has gone to bed Jon!
  6. Are you prepared to 'shell out' on some then?
  7. You throbber! Lol. I bit
  8. I like prawns.
  9. Jon for President! Let's start campaigning!
  10. Ok mate, if the cell block pay phone is free. Have a good night dude!
  11. This if I may say so sounds like a load of scaremongery b*llocks. I very, very seriously doubt that a warranty claim sent back to a local distributor will result in Husqvarna deploying their CSI task force down with face masks and swabs to test for 'residue'. Then send the samples to a chemical lab for analysis (costing thousands) and then fight the legal battle with their hard earnt 'evidence'. Relax man, run it on what you can buy for a reasonable price and see fit, don't admit to anything other than running it on 'the good stuff' and leave it to them to prove otherwise. A lot of money, power and influence has been brought to bear on a lot of otherwise rational people through these 'fear tactics'. Ignore it, press on, life's to short dude.
  12. Richie's allowed out every time he's well behaved. That's why he's only allowed out once a year! He's a good boy though!
  13. Might be worth a quick PM to user 'Asatchy' as he's based in Studley. Not sure if he's into this kind of work but I know he's an accomplished landscaper.
  14. It's a tree bollock. Evolution finally arrives!
  15. Yeah I always keep a crate of Fosters handy in case I have Australian visitors, burglars or a chimney fire.
  16. Phew, I got confused. Just checked my crate of Tiger Beer for eggs and drew a blank. Luckily my wine stocks had a black pudding in though!
  17. Rather than start a new one I thought I'd resurrect this thread. Just saw in ebay the same 'Dack' saw available in either red or insipid green branded as a 'Charles Jacobs' for christs sake. Sounds more like a brand of shampoo! Oh it's worth buying the Charles Jacobs anti frizz versions rather than the £48 'Dack' though, because it's only £499.00! 129 green ones sold, 262 red'uns. Frightening.

    Dolmar

    I can't give anyone prices for anything Shavey mate, since I don't sell, I just buy. From what I recall, the Makita chainsaw range is less varied than it was a few years ago, and the nice 5030 has vanished. That would make a compelling argument in my books to go for a Dolmar if one needs/wants a professional saw in this capacity. Shavey, how much are the Dolmar 61, 73, 79, and 90cc models coming out at?

    Dolmar

    DCS5121 is a pro saw in the same vein as the Stihl farm saws are pro saws. Not lightning fast or light as a feather, but robust, magnesium crankcase, decompression. Meaty and well made, cheap price currently. Yes I do own one. Go for it. You can't go wrong. P.S The Royal Engineers use this and the 64cc Makita.
  20. Chain might be too loose. Tighten it up on the bar a bit and see how it runs then.
  21. Not to be curt with you, but this has been discussed at length recently and historically on the forum, it might be worth checking the search function while you wait for some answers to roll in.
  22. My suggestions are; Reduce the branches down with your MS181 so that all usable firewood is taken aside. Then chop up the rest to season as kindling. The scraggy stuff and leaves, let them sit for a month or two and then have a bonfire. Alternatively if you're dead set on shredding it; Buy a cheap shredder off ebay and fill your boots, Contact a local arborist and see if they can pass by your way and shred the lot for some beer tokens. Buy a mulching blade for your brushcutter if you own one, and slam the lot to matchwood after in an afternoon.
  23. No footwear suggestions per se, but have you tried spraying Sure or a similar deodorant on the soles of your feet?
  24. He don't drink, he's on a natural high. It's called tiredness and the interweb. Good old Jon boy.
