  1. dont know about heated top handles but if you deliberately use a silky for your first few cuts that fair heats you up on a cold morning:thumbup1:
  2. really? did you just start work last week?
  3. ms880 and fell from a distance
  4. Cracking stunt fell:thumbup1: Personally i wouldnt have taken the risk but probably, like has been said before, if it was cones either side of the fell i would have dropped it in no problems but when a slight mistake can mean big damages then best to rig it and be sure every time. Hats off to the lad for having the balls to do it though:thumbup:
  5. maybe you have more door knockers where you are now...
  6. That sounds like a perfectly good reason for why top handle saw chains snap more, because they are always much older and used than ground saws due to less need for sharpening.
  7. Nail on the head mate:thumbup1: As for the old lady i think thats shocking. Poor old lass doesnt deserve to go to jail, in fact she deserves a medal for standing up for herself and her trees. As for the journalism well i think its been said already it sucketh big time:thumbdown:
  8. I have had quite a few chains snap over the years and it always seems to be while cutting small stuff or brashing etc when your going hard at it. Had 1 whip off and land on my shoulder once from a 200t that got nipped by a small branch and once had one slap me on the knee from a husky 365 but never had any damage from it happening. Mostly they just fall off the end of the bar or hang off the chain catcher.
  9. Cool As long as you dont need to grind any stumps out you will be fine Hope you get plenty work
  10. Well i did offer:001_rolleyes: If it makes you feel any better i just got back in from pizza and ice cream:001_tt2:
  11. Mine is set real loose on my legs and it feels fine, maybe you have it too tight?
  12. Sell it and go on a short holiday to the seaside, something like portobello or even north berwick if your feeling adventurous
  13. Get all your greedy eyes off my job! I got your back mate no worries
  14. what has an ms460 with a 20" bar got to do with CS32? I know your limited to bar length on the course but if you go out with a 20" bar or even the biggest bar you can stick on your 88 and cut down a tree thats the same size as your bar length then your still working under CS31 specs.
  15. lots, thats probably not much help either:001_rolleyes:
  16. i am skinny too (59kilos) and had the same problem with the butterfly, i used to have permanent bruises on my hips but with the treemotion it doesnt hurt at all.
  17. What the C4? you gotta video it if you do:lol:
  18. that just adds to its waterproofing, i would still have left them stinky:thumbup:
  19. Doesnt take that long, maybe about 10 to 15 minutes max but once you set it up then thats it for the rest of its life. Its the difference between night and day with comfort though in comparison to the butterfly.
  20. do yourself a favour and spend the extra cash on a treemotion, i had a butterfly before the treemotion and i am sooo glad i changed. Plus you can add your silly swivel thing if you really want to:001_rolleyes:
  21. contains content from Beggars and EMI so they blocked it on copyright grounds.
  22. Nice job:thumbup1: I like speed lining if its practical but a lot of jobs there just isnt the space to do it. Only thing i can say negative is i didnt like your groundies helmet, it was so lightweight you couldnt even see it:001_rolleyes: Oh yea and his gloves were the ones i use for climbing
  23. Just as Big J suggested a shallow gob (not too shallow mind) and as big a hinge as you can. Also i would put a pulling rope up just to be sure if at all possible. I do like the C4 method better though:001_rolleyes:
