You know its good be a good kinda reduction when the spikes and bollard are on 👍
-
Lovely bit of pruning, that!

The dmm hook is going to be far better than some ebay jobby. It's designed by an industry leading manufacturer for a specific purpose. Is also not really the kind of thing many people would sell. Mine lives in my bag for weeks at a time until it has a job worth using it on, then it's invaluable. You may get lucky though and find some college leaver that's bought all the kit then realised they can't climb.

You've got a no kill policy, but it's against the law to release grey squirrels once captured. What do you do then?
-
Wish the same could be said for you.

At a trade off of wearing the device down within a year 🤣

On paper it is, but in reality it's even thinner. My velocity is thicker than the Atrax but on paper it's 11.3. I reckon Atrax is closer to 11mm lines like Blaze. The next size up in the Cousin line up is Black Widow, which I'll be getting next.

Who, the bloke who sells bars, chains and sprockets?

Vermeer BC 190 XL thoughts/experiences?
Joe Newton replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Large equipment
Fair enough, the model that I sometimes use is a 235mx I think, which is 7.5" or thereabouts? Probably double the weight of a 150. -

Joe Newton replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Large equipment
Would you not run another Schliesing Mick? If all the chippers I've used that's what I'd be surrendering my hypothetical money on. -
Fair enough, I'll do anything I can these days to avoid using a heavier saw than needed
-
Because its crazy! If you buy an 88 have a longer bar so you don't have to double cut? I reckon a 66 on a 30" would cut faster than an 88
-
Why you'd have a 30" bar on an 881? Seems mental!
-
This part confuses me.
-
I'm with Matty, the appeal is the lack of weight and the smooth constant torque. It keeps that 660 off my harness for just that bit longer. It's still the best saw I've used apart from the 2511 in terms of power to weight, but it's not a total game changer. It does make my life easier though.
-
That's you and Matty running 28". Reckon I might try that next time I replace the bar.
-
They're we go! You've one upped me with the full wrap too! What length bar you running on yours Don?
-
I properly hate having to pull the 66 up a tree nowadays.

Cheers lads. Sounds a bit gay though. -
I'd wager the people suggesting these rates aren't the ones paying them. It's one thing paying a shit hot groundy/team leader £160 as a subby, but nobody is getting that on the books.
-
The reality is somewhat different unfortunately.
-
How are you wearing the harness. A lot of people seem to wear it over the hips. I think it's designed to be worn beneath them.
-
If I could only have 2 saws it would be 2511 and a 500i Would cover most things I reckon.
-
Doesn't work either. If have got loads better over lockdown otherwise.

I remember hearing that one told by James Nesbitt on Murphy's Law some 20 years ago!
