Disc chippers are such a shit design. I mean, they work, but drums are supported both ends. Why wouldn't you.
-
Handy news on the chain oil btw because I have a load |'m about to go onto.
-
No. Not trustworthy enough. Got to be top end name. OEM or better.
-
Reckon that red Castrol that kram posted is the red Stihl or the green Stihl (dyed differently for the Stihl branding)? I share openspaceman's understanding that the red Stihl isn't as good as the green.
-
Update to first post. I don't care if it seems silly. I'm getting older. My focus is being pulled in more directions. If red vs green saves killing a £1000 saw, it's not silly.

I don't trust Oregon anything really. It's a bit supermarket own-brand. I want solid name-brand. McKewans Champion, not Greene King IPA. Despite the fact it was kram recommending Castrol, that's more a name I'd trust. No offence, kram but you use more fake shit for everything else than I'm comfortable with.

Probably foreign.

Rights and wrongs aside, Swordfish is a wicked film.

Was it you with the Milwaukee M18 pruning (chain)saw I was talking with on here a few months ago?

I need to get some more two stroke oil. I currently use one of the Stihl green ones, Super or Ultra. As silly as it may sound, I’d like two stroke to be red. It’s how I was brought up. It’s easier to see. Or I’d like it to at least not be green so it’s different to MotoMix (green). Purple might do. Must meet or exceed Stihl’s specification. Will read the manuals to see what they call for (JASO FD etc - can’t remember what any of it means). Did find some dye for helicopter fuel but it was £3.50 for 30 ml. Any ideas? Yes, Stubby. We know you use Redline.

When they’re liable with their own money and not the taxpayers’.

That’s not shat itself. Shat itself is bits of metal breaking/splintering/wearing away. Bottom end bearings, rings, rods etc. Needing a carb clean is an often observed and non-disastrous effect of going straight after a long time on pump petrol. I use battery, mains 240, Aspen, Motomix and pump petrol for different tools for different jobs. My 500i was on Motomix for an arb job last week. It and my 661 will be on pump fuel for the next fortnight while I do a big firewood stint. Then back to Motomix to sit around for a while. Anyway, calm down dear. Aspen’s fine.

Define ‘shat itself.’

Whereas there's only one sort of air.

Thought so.

@kram Raking murders my back, which is a shame because I find it satisfying. So I tend to use the blower a lot. Now Mick and you mention it though, I am always impressed with how little fuel they use. Maybe they’re not that power hungry. Power is work done over time btw. I understand what you meant though. My blower choice has been made easier since this discussion began by dad giving me the petrol one he barely uses. So I’ll use that until it dies and see what the market has to offer in about 2040.

Bloke in NZ that posts here occasionally. Jesse Coleman? A guy I know worked for him out there, helicopters etc.

They’ve learned to jumpflap onto things, which is probably why there was shit on my chair yesterday. Integration into main flock becoming more pressing priority. I want the pavilion back.
-
See, I can quote right. I just don’t.
-
Interesting. Anyone second Mick on the blower?
-
I was thinking about what blower to buy the other day and it made me think which tools you want battery and which petrol. Chainsaws are stop start so battery ideal but for long stints of constant throttle, you need petrol. I'd put blowers, hedge trimmers and strimmers firmly in the constant running category. Battery polesaw would be fine.

Come now. Play along a bit. You're a batman. Advocate for your people. Unless your approach is just, "I'm not interested in your gay ideas of right and wrong. That's the way it is. £60ph." In which case you've rather proved my point.

Fabulous little things. Way cooler than a grom. I convinced a girlfriend to buy one. She ditched me and kept riding the bike (until it was stolen).
