    Hasn't been a problem so far. If you've stowed the saw by the side handle the exhaust points away from you and if you hang it by a carabiner through the attachment loop on the saw the exhaust points behind you. Fumes are no issue to me, they're much worse when you're in a conny hedge.

    Nothing wrong with leaving the saw running while high clipped imo
  3. Joe Newton
    Are you trolling, Mick?
  4. Joe Newton
    It's not the end of the world to have s carabiner there to high clip with.
  5. Joe Newton
    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.

    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 🤣
  7. Joe Newton
    You can if you're able to find one fresh out of school who can listen.
  8. Joe Newton
    Roll call 🤣

    Confirmed troll, just ignore

    I think the biggest difference between arb and hort is that we generally don't take cock.
  11. Joe Newton
    You can get a decent arb compressor with small tank for your van for that money.

    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.
  13. Joe Newton
    Being offended is a choice.
  14. Joe Newton
    Assuming there are no sheep in the field.

    30 mins to fully strip and rebuild a saw in the middle of a field with only basic tools? Ambitious

    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.
  17. Joe Newton
    I wouldn't bother if i were you. There's obviously nothing more for you to learn.

    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.
  19. Joe Newton
    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.
  20. Joe Newton
    Man's chatting bare shit fam
  21. Joe Newton
    Why not? The criteria doesn't specify a min/max engine size afaik. Just a bar length.
  22. Joe Newton
    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?
  23. Joe Newton
    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.
  24. Joe Newton
    I think both are true
  25. Joe Newton
    Are you suggesting people aren't as mouthy in person as they are on the Internet?
