    First chainsaw

    Joe Newton replied to Plwm's topic in Chainsaws

    My first saw was a ms211. It's a good light weight saw. It's fine on a 14" bar. No need for you to spend double the amount on a pro saw unless you'll be cutting 20" logs regularly. Learn to sharpen a chain well. If you don't, it doesn't matter what saw you buy!

    My gobs are small cos the trees I cut are tiny compared to you arb Heros over the pond! Which of my gobs do you mean? I usually prefer a deep gob over a small one as you get a larger area of hinge wood. Typically I cut about 40% in for a gob.

    A lot of it is for show. So the photos you take look prettier. Also the more cuts you make the more it looks like you're a pro, after all, any twonk can do a gob and back cut. The only time I've ever found it necessary is felling a tree over 3x bar length.

    What do you reckon your capacity is compared to a single cab Tranny, Hodge? We run them as they're a pretty safe bet, but I'd love to have a Landy like that! It's not until you see your climber in the tree that you realise the scale of it. Subby or employed?
  7. Joe Newton
    Bet it takes all of five minutes to fill your Landy up with the new chipper mate! Pretty jealous of your set up!

    And the only time you've sent me money it was wrapped in something so foul I could never get to it!

    I don't post so much because now Bolam's admitted he's my bitch there's not so much fun in it. Think I might need a new chew toy.

    Could be a bowline with a Yosemite tie off. Otherwise the tail end should be exiting towards the loop.

    The picture didn't come out too well, for some reason the lens is smudged.
  15. Joe Newton
    Well since you mentioned it I did take a selfie... You can receive picture messages, right?
  16. Joe Newton
    Can't tell if you mean for crying or rubbing one out... For what it's worth I did both... ...at the same time.

    Nice video. Only watched the Holm Oak, I'll watch the other one after Game of Thrones. Loving the crab on the rigging line. Nice to see I'm not the only one who'll admit to it
