  1. Cheers sound advice
  2. Cheers, I want a 0.50 sugi bar but can’t find one. just looking fat options
  3. Hi, can I put a 0.63” gauge on my ms261 newer model it normally has a 0.50 on it. cheers guys and girls
  4. Sod climbing that
  5. As title says, what arb shop do you guys recommend? Local shop wants £105 +vat for 25l of oregon mineral chain oil ... no thanks
  6. I use gas to heat water too. And being in the Forestry game burn all waste wood for heating (too big, too small, not straight enough for timber merchants to take etc). I costs my labour but I'm getting paid per ton felled. So whatever does not get extracted heats my family. Energy company has been furious for years and always send out people to read the meter as the don't believe my readings. Sod em
  7. Brash, 10 Yr old German shepard golden retriever cross (belive it or not). I didn't let her eat the poor scanky thing that got sandwiched between barbed wire. But she does eat everything else baring she skulls 👍
  8. Makes the clutch cooler 🤔
  9. Almost exactly that. Fell, sned/cut to length stack what you can (don't break your back, let the forwarder driver swear at you from his/her nice dry/warm cab 😀). Lay brash low. 1st thining is more of a pain for a handcutter as often need to move/roll length out the way for forwarder access. Cutting access for forwarder and turning circles is makes reasonable holes in the canopy but is obviously essential if timber is to be extractable.
  10. Massive discrepancies between species, air space, green or seasoned, stacked neatly or stacked to create as much air as possible Sell by the load mate not weight (unless you have a weigh bridge).
  11. My clutch drum isn't catching on what I'd did on the clutch. Will a new clutch sort it? Or something else? 500i. Cheers guys.
  12. Thanks chaps . Will add photos tomorrow. Thanks again
  13. I have score line on my side casing. I am assuming I need a new clutch, needle bearing and sprocket. Unless anyone else has any ideas. However the clutch itself looks OK. It's on a husqvarna 562xp . Cheers
  14. It's a 500i. Lost a clutch spring and fear part of it may have gone somewhere it shouldn't as saw will start but then stop. Bugger
  15. Any chainsaw repair folks around North Northamptonshire? Cheers
  16. Suzuki sx4 or x cross with 50/50 tyres and a roof box for the saws, fuel and wet clothes. Back seats out leaving loads of room for other tools and the log dog. It goes where pick ups go and skips across the wet rides.
  17. Howdy, has anyone tried the petzl vizir for the vertex vent helmets ? I'm bored of getting stuff in my eyes🙈 smoked or clear version? Also is the protector worth it ? Not that I can find one. Cheers 🍻
  18. 500i is a beast! Had one for 2 years commercial Forestry, no issues whatsoever (touch wood). I do planting in the winter so probably only about a year and a half of hard work for it. Usually have an 18" on it, pulls a 25" no problem when needed. Also have a 16" but you have to hold on.....tight!
  19. My mistake it's an oregon EXL chain
  20. Anyone noticed much of a difference between oregon LPX and sthil rapid super chains? Same for bars versa cut or rollermatic? (I do use sugihara light when I can get them form rob d). Full chisel on a 500i. Cheers
  21. Is it a bad idea or not? It's free after all from a pub
