  1. Isn't that like a car without a driver? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Keep your eyes peeled. It started off when Kate Humble's badger watch wasn't what I expected it to be. Turns out I stumbled onto something much better. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

  4. I usually just beat them off by hand but ill try that! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. L Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. The last paragraph was pertaining to pretty much any stereotype, and the lack of relevance that it carries. It would appear that I'm not the only drunk posting tonight. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Not sure I see your issue Johnny. Care to elaborate? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Daniel, I'm a very hard person to offend. It comes with completely accepting who I am, strengths and flaws. When I made my comment I had no clue of your sexuality. Now you've enlightened mine I care about the same. If I ever bump into you ill happily have a chat to you too your face, regardless of your a mentally challenged Puerto Rican hermaphrodite or otherwise. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Its a vendetta. I caught it from a cow who nobbed a badger Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. Own it mate, don't be sensitive. I prefer shagging badgers over humans. Their gender is irrelevant. Its not black and white... Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Result! Daniel, it was meant as a sleight on misogynistic comments, although it obviously came across much baser than that. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Who invited this homo? [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Likewise, I've never broken a crab yet, and god knows I've tried. Always figured the half hitch would go before the crab anyway. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Personally if be happy working alone, in the right circumstances. If there were obstacles to avoid and cut and chuck was risky I wouldn't do it. Same as pedestrian traffic. If it's in a open back garden with no targets and no tidy up then sure, why not? Otherwise you're paying for a ground you stand around fingering himself. Let's face it, if you have a proper mischief in the tree your only real chance is self rescue, if rather avoid relying on that. The only problem I can see is practicality. Dumping a load of tree on your line or running out of fuel. Reg has obviously thought around that. I wouldn't expect it of anyone under my duty of care though.

  15. As far as I know Sugihara made the nose sprocket on their 0.043 bar slightly different to the stihl one. So running one on the other is likely to damage the chain and nose sprocket. You might get away with it, I wouldn't risk it though. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. I found there was a definite knack to starting it. The chain brake was one of the things. I think as the saw beds in the carb needs a tweak. Mine runs on when warm so I've been advised to wind the l screw out 1/8 a turn. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Yeah, but the Sugihara chain is mutually inclusive you the bar. You shouldn't run a Sugi. 043 chain on a stihl bar or vice versa. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Or the Sugi bar is a touch longer, and the bar is pressed up tight to the sprocket. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. I've got a lot in common with your wife Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Hahahaha brilliant! We get it. Big Tree bloke have towering hulk of muscle who causes panties within a 100m radius to instantly saturate. He doesn't need the decomp. Adversely, I'm a skinny bitch weighing in at a bit less than a wet fart. I'll take the decomp thanks Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Try starting a ported 660 on spikes without using the sissy button. Spud turning into a bender once he sent back my saw. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Can't wait to see where this leads! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. I use a 461 on a 25" bar at work and it's great. I also have a 441 on a 20" bar and it's lovely. My go to chogging saw. Its power delivery is spot on with the 20". Nicely balanced too. Got it barely used for £400, and the insides didn't look like they'd seen sawdust. I wouldn't try it with a 25" bar though. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. I don't think it's harsh. Even a top handle could drop a leaner safely if it was sharp. Say a 3" face cut would leave 6" worth of gob. Nibble the ears away and your good to go Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. If a tree under 10" it's barber chairing you're doing something seriously wrong. A sharp saw and conventional cut should do it no trouble. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
