Is it really? Who specced that!?
-
Not questioning that. The echo will run way better on the Stihl bar though. Period.
-
I saw a little bit you attached to the end of a chainsaw bar a while back to allow precise bore cutting for holes like that. Never been able to find one though.

If you don't prefer it I'll let you off the hook for that Stoli

The time has finally come

Because you're adding a pivot point by adding a carabiner. -
Always makes me laugh when you see UK climbers with 16" bars on their toppers. Different story over there though! Do you not miss topping purple leaf plums?
-
I thought Manchester. Near as makes no difference. Probably moved there to feel intelligent...

Nice work Reg, liked the use of the double redirect pulley. Got one knocking about the van somewhere, but never used it. How you finding that beast of a pickup for a chip truck? Did you get it converted to a tipper? What's the capacity like compared to a Transit?
-
Yeah maybe I am a bit sad, but I don't see the point in buying a great little saw and not getting the best out of it. Bit like buying a GTR and capping the speed of at 70!

The Tsumara bar on it's own is a very good bar. However it's 0.050, which takes a heavier chain, requiring more energy to pull. Have you seen the Stihl 150 with it's 0.043 bar and chain? It'd be like a 150 engine trying to pull a bar and chain from a 200t. The 150t is a good engine, but it's the specially designed tiny bar and chain that allows it to work. Echo made an even better engine, but didn't bother with a tiny chain, so that engine is trying to pull a heavy chain.

Can't see why it looks brilliant really. Lot of cool features but it doesn't solve any problems for me.

I dragged a small lime tree through a house yesterday. The client had to chase me up on that one, more than once.
-
Cheers Rob, I'll share the bottle with you So you'll be needing my address then
-
Hahaha really? So a 10 hour day gets you £100? Christ.
-
I quite like Stolichnaya, just saying. Rob? Care to help me win my bottle?
-
Personally I'd be chasing up the nice fells, reductions, and deadwoods. Not so much the hawthorn with climbing rose jobs.
-
Bet you a bottle of vodka
-
Not all of them. The 2510 is a Tsumara bar as standard. I'm talking about the 0.043" bars as per the 150
-
You ever get the chipper back to the yard and realise you've left the transit? I wondered why I was shagged!
-
I've arrived on site to find that nobody put the chipper chute on.
-
Not so far as I know. Problem is, apparently the new Sugi bar won't take the Stihl chain, and vice versa.
-
Will the above work on my Airstreams?
-
I'd knob his Mrs. Can't help with the punishment side of things though.
-
I'm guessing why it was this tree in particular that you found SRT helpful in.
-
Touché!
