    Let it go quiet for a few months and then move/kill them.
  2. Same except I find it more comfortable with spikes.
  3. I can’t wait to for you to move so we can find out how terrible Sweden suddenly is.
  4. I’d have said fuel until you said it didn’t work with fuel down the bore. Air filter?

    Uses for pasture

    Would running things like quad bike and shooting training courses be sufficiently agricultural?

    Alpacas are like charcoal making, just a planning permission tool because they need supervision.

    I’d personally go with something different like pandas but within more normal bounds I’d take cows over sheep any day. Sheep are a nightmare.

    What Matty and Joe said. 500s are excellent.
  10. Yours was the least unhelpful post.
  11. I'm asking about a different saw and wanting to hear the experiences of people who have tried what I asked.
  12. One of them is August Hunicke, who I would class as a pretty capable tree bloke and not especially stupid.
  13. Has anyone tried 16”, 18” or 20” 3/8p (.043” or .050”) or 1/4p?
  14. How is it? Do you think it could pull an 18" with the same chain?
  15. If a genie from a lamp granted me three wishes, two of them would be for people on internet forums to give specific answers to specific questions.
  16. Has anyone tried 16”, 18” or 20” 3/8p (.043” or .050”) or 1/4p?
  17. Noise and pull starting. Struggling to see relevance. Are you driving at a torque vs horsepower issue for chip evacuation?
  18. I probably want 16” or 18” but am nevertheless interested in context and results from those who have tried. Bear in mind there are 2511s out there running 20” 1/4p.
  19. Never seen it done that way before. I assume she emerges from the cab of a tractor wearing a sequin dress?
  20. Book recommended lengths are 12”, 14” or 16” 3/8p .050”. Has anyone tried 16”, 18” or 20” 3/8p (.043” or .050”) or 1/4p?
  21. Depends on if you’re running a firm and need to provide for all eventualities or if you’re a freelance climber and only need to cover the majority. Joe was bang on with the 2511 and 500i combo for a freelance climber. Someone always has a 50cc ground saw they can send up for the occasional big branch and most firms worth working for will have a 661 with a 36” bar for big slashes and bigger chunking. So there’s your four for running the entire show: -climbing saw, might as well be on the lighter end because a 201 isn’t much different to a 261 -261 main ground saw -500i bigger ground saw and predominant chunking saw -661 necessary evil Not much different if you go battery on the smaller ones. My main petrol climbing saw has had very little use because battery power is so lovely. I can use an electric breadknife 120 for most stuff and nick a ground saw for the occasional bigger cut. 220 arrives this week. Should render the 120 and 261 unnecessary but the 120 is such a little darling I’ll not want to part with it.
  22. Fresh fuel, rev the tits off it.

    Rust on chain

    Yes. Send them to me to be assured of their safe disposal. (No. They’ll be fine. Soak them in diesel if it makes you feel good.)
