If you get a chance it'd be nice to see a vid of it cutting some different sized logs pics of the bar mod too would be good.

Funnily enough my folks lived there for a few years. When I went to visit them I noticed a real absence of anti social behaviour compared to the UK. It isn't considered anti social to have a beer on a park bench at lunch time over there. It was common to see well dressed smart people enjoying a can of the local lager in the open at lunch time. If I recall, Swiss make citizens must take part in compulsory military service from 18. Yeah, there's a 5.56 Sig in most houses, and ammunition is heavily controlled.

I'm curious, has anyone had a 362 that's been used daily for 2 years without it breaking down?!
-
Ha no thanks. Just asking out of curiosity. Lot of ringing and splitting in that!
-
Big lump Al, nice cutting. What's the plan for the timber?

Tyrannosaurs were only sexually voracious because their little arms couldn't reach their crotches.

You may be surprised. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that a saw will perform better on standard fuel as opposed to the higher octane equivalent. I think it had something to do with the standard fuel detonating easier than the high octane fuel. Of course, a branded fuel (shell, bp, etc) will be better quality than the supermarket equivalent, with a lower ethanol content. How many posts before someone tells us that Aspen will run better, be cheaper long term, and make our breath fresher?

Fawcett Inn Cider

In Portsmouth there's a pub called "The Fawcett Inn" That was quite amusing until I went in and found they made their own cider. Guess what they called it!? Quite obvious really!
-
Actually cackling here!

Nice one Joe! Always found it better to be modest. Lot of people big themselves up to the point where they can't live up to it!

Anyone ever seen a grown man cry?
Joe Newton replied to Gardiners Tree Surgery's topic in General chat
I've read of a lot of thefts, they are all horrid. For some reason this one touched me. I hope it gets sorted. I cherish the kit that I've saved for and looked after. I feel for you mate. -
Well it seems you know your saws well enough to figure out what bar you want to run I mainly climb, so I prefer a fast saw as opposed to a long bar. Nothing worse than having a max bar length saw constantly bogging down when your on spikes on a big stem.
-
General rule of thumb for max bare length on a pro saw is displacement (cc) divided by 3. 60cc is 20" bar etc. I prefer smaller bars in general for faster cutting, less fatigue and engine wear.
-
I'd be proud of that.
-
My colleague won't use my saws because he doesn't like the smell of redline. I love it. Reminds me of stock car races. Opie Oils sell it too (in weird sized bottles).

Remember that those are Americans in the picture, for scale. The trunk is probably about 14m dbh Nice tree Ben, didn't fancy thrusting up on a blakes?
-
Funny. I've always defended it when using it ddrt. With a bit of technique refinements it was okay. On SRT however it's total wank. Petzl don't seem to be so hot recently.

Nice one Tim. I've ordered some Velcro to try and do mine but it's being shipped from Neptune or somewhere. I'll get the drill out!
-
Any examples
-
You don't tie it off to your knob!

I think you're talking about a different device to everyone else mate

It's obvious Jon. They work got your competition.
