  1. You'd still have to high clip unless you wanted the recoil pull to be more than the weight of the saw. This is like a thread started by the canopy climbing gaylords.
  2. Slim chance of that, someone posted a photo of a trainee leaving a slightly high stump a few years ago and he fully shit the bed and left 🤣
  3. You can if you're able to find one fresh out of school who can listen.
  4. I think the biggest difference between arb and hort is that we generally don't take cock.
  5. You can get a decent arb compressor with small tank for your van for that money.
  6. Sounds like you'll have to choose which is more important to you. Wealth or remaining in your chosen field. Its a conundrum most of us have considered.
  7. Assuming there are no sheep in the field.
  8. 30 mins to fully strip and rebuild a saw in the middle of a field with only basic tools? Ambitious
  9. On the bright side I doubt you'll notice that insufferable twat who knows it all better than the trainers. You know, there's usually one on every course.
  10. I wouldn't bother if i were you. There's obviously nothing more for you to learn.
  11. Don't be a smart arse. My point was that bar length is not the only criteria. You've already stated that you'll flout the regs when it makes sense to you.
  12. You misunderstand me. I'm not claiming its a good idea, just stating that bar length is not the only metric you should be looking for. There's no reason within PUWER to not run a short bar on a large powerhead. The manufacturer may give ideal recommendations for bar size but that's all they are.
  13. Why not? The criteria doesn't specify a min/max engine size afaik. Just a bar length.
  14. Would you consider a 550xp with an 18" narrow kerf bar and chain to be less safe than a 500i with a 15" bar and 8 pin sprocket?
  15. I remember when the head of sixth form called my mum in and politely suggested i shouldn't continue my a-levels. I focused my attention on smoking weed and fingering instead.
  16. Are you suggesting people aren't as mouthy in person as they are on the Internet?
  17. Mountain man was funnier though
  18. Based in Rugby, near Cov. No idea what its worth but if you can helicoil the spark plug hole she'll be a good runner.
