  1. Do you run them flat? I have two batteries for my 120 and swap them as often as possible so I always have as much charge on tap as possible. Read somewhere that it may be better for lithium ion batteries to be fully discharged though.

    If it fits through the throat, I’d leave it. It’s all board feet and the end user can easily cut it off themselves.
  3. You’ve got time to complain on here that it doesn’t work but you haven’t got time to fit the parts that might make it work. What a predicament.
  4. He well might but I won’t. It sounds like you’ve got something intelligent to say.
  5. If you used butter instead of cream, would you put that on top of jam? Check mate.
  6. Two summers outside and then finish inside has worked for me beautifully this year. That did involve a head height stack of logs against the hallway wall though. Recently single again. I mentioned that.
  7. I show my log pile to prospective women. Give them an axe and tell them to get on with it. Recently single again.
  8. Could you expand? At first glance it just looks like he’s exchanging liability for labour and it’s working nicely. Not being arsey. Genuinely interested in the rationale behind why it’s not as good an idea as it seems.
  9. Bottle lid seals designed for water will degrade rapidly from petrol. You need a lid designed for fuel.
  10. I used to work in a shop with a bloke called Steve. He used to go out at lunchtimes to visit a friend. "An horologist, don't you know, young Alex." Made it sound aufy grand. It was the bloke from the watch battery counter in Debenhams. They could apparently sink five pints each in a lunch hour and he'd always smartly waft in the front door fifteen seconds before he was due to relieve me, like clockwork if you'll excuse the pun. Just enough time to the second to put his brown leather jacket on the hook upstairs so I could get off for lunch punctually. Fond memories. Always liked Steve.
  11. The person whose input could really benefit this thread is Benedict Edmonds. I've learnt more about business from him than from anyone else on arbtalk.
  12. And a horologist. Talented fellow.
  13. I concur. They're the only chainsaws from a general building tool maker that are actually a chainsaw (as opposed to a tool that looks like a chainsaw and broadly works like a chainsaw but is nevertheless not a proper chainsaw).
  14. And consider Makita equivalents if you already have batteries but you’d probably want to consider moving anything over to 1/4” picco. How fine do the cuts need to be? Curious about the whole process to be honest. Would be delighted if you did a thread on it and other fruit production matters.
  15. Put your local parish councillors in it and drop it in a lake.
  16. A 120 would be a joy because of the lightness but will frustrate on power at 6” (3” would be fine, 4” tolerable). A 200 would be a joy because of the power but only if you’re strong enough to position it for what presumably need to be quite precise cuts. Depends how strong you are and how ergonomic it is to make the cuts. Sixty cuts a hundred times sounds like a lot of cuts to me. That’s assuming you want battery, which for stop start work I would strongly recommend. If you can walk two paces from cut to cut (so don’t need to be constantly stop starting or having the saw wastefully idling) and want petrol power, 150 backhandle.
  17. Does anyone know what effect ethanol content has on petrol’s susceptibility to detonation? Will high ish compression engines run on regular start knocking soon?
  18. I’m currently sat looking at one in my garden, full of half seasoned conifer and apple. I retrieved it from the woods out the back, from a hugely inconvenient hollow surrounded by hugely inconvenient vegetation. I can only assume kids dragged it in there for fun (plus the half a mile from the supermarket). Were I recruiting logisticians, I’d begin with the local urchins. Very impressive.
  19. Thorough and helpful answer. Much obliged. My first thought was plait it, which I now see the problem with. My second thought was make two hedges with a six foot gap between them but I'm getting the idea that that's nearly as pointless because one side of each hedge wouldn't get animal trimmed.
  20. The laboriousness aside, why wouldn’t/couldn’t a wide hedge be plaited at its current width? Light not getting to the middle?
