To be fair it's a shame they haven't taken comments on board, but it shouldn't be too hard to fix one up.

I like Echo.

The 150 doesn't have one either, pillock

How old is she now Bob? Looking at getting a sh Hilux. King cabs are rare as rocking horse poo though. How many miles have you eked out of her?

Even on an inboard clutch?

You calling me a liar, batty?

The bar might be wider than the original. 84dl is correct for the Stihl bar. It shouldn't be a big deal for your local shop to pop an extra link in for you.

It's possible to make a LOLER passable puller saver without using knots. All you'd need is a few metres of 8mm hitch cord, some whipping twine, and some heat shrink. Helluva lot less bulky than that thing!

So you're not completely fed up with srt then?
-
Mines never got in the way. The elastic would snap before any trouble though. I don't like wearing bras while climbing.
-
That's a really unfortunate typo...

You tell me mate, £500 plus for the 550you run on 13", or £200 on a saw that will cope with that. Don't get me wrong, I loved my 550, but it wasn't getting any use over my 357. For a small lightweight saw "similar power to a topper" the 211 is value for money.
-
Stihl 211 on a 12" (it'll handle a 14"). Tiny light saw, keep the fc chain sharp and its a lovely small saw. About £200 as well.
-
Fair enough. I tried the top harness for my TM. Piece of junk. For SRT all you really need is a rape sling and mini crab for advancing your system though. Then there are loads of options for a better advancer at reasonable prices.

Be honest Ti, It's hard to find parking spaces at the cafe isn't it?
-
To be honest I'm not sure if the new saw is physically identical, or it was just a 2510 with a 2511 sticker on it.
-
At a guess I'd say less chance of the lump slamming straight into to rigging line, and on the lower lumps, less chance of smashing it into the bollard.
-
Is that why you have two monitors at your desk? Oh wait, that's another reason.
-
Why would you buy a new harness for srt?
-
Spotted it at one stall. Looked exactly the same. Max, because the handle is angled unlike the 150, when you clip it up by it it makes the bar nose point upwards towards your elbow. Which hurts.

Golden Robinia care help!
Joe Newton replied to gambitrl7's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Fair point Eggs. The only sure fire way to remove the risk of drain intrusion is to remove the tree. Depends what you want to spend your money on really. Nice tree by the way. -
I'll be there from Thursday until my card starts getting rejected.
-
I guess it's different strokes. I used the 280 replacement that they sent me (which on paper has more power than the 2510) on that chain and I despaired. It's been in my boot after one use. Tell you what though. I 've just taken the leap with Instagram (thanks for accepting 😃) so when I get my replacement I'll do a comparison.

SRT Rope & Compatible Hitch Cord, Help
Joe Newton replied to R Mac's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Really? Of course it is. If it's sold as friction cord it's rated as PPE.
