I have, really appreciated the lanyard breaking not pulling me with the 200t to the ground. Was a decent size sycamore limb that just nipped the saw in the kerf. Only happened the once mind.

How vital is the exhaust gasket on my 357xp?
billpierce replied to Joe Newton's topic in Maintenance help
Probs get away with it if needs must. But knowing my luck it would melt some vital plastics or rattle loose and thread the exhaust bolt hole on the cylinder. -
Where's folks getting their reels from? Chains direct are sold out of 75dpx (3/8 0.063 semi) , which is cheapest I've found it.

Alex, I often overload my small isc floating bollard. I use either a dyneema whoopee which will cinch up with just a big dan on until it's nipped right up or 16mm double braid deadeye with a timber hitch - again just setting it all up tight as can be. You get a bit of slop after the first few heavies but certainly not shin to chest level. Like 1ft tops

I replaced my exhaust with a cheapo chinese one. Just because my orm was knackered. Didn't notice a difference tbh, but always loved that saw. Best thing i did was sticking a 9pin sprocket off a 440 on with a 18" .325 bar it cut very well.

Are they stretchy?
-
My arbortec breatheflex are coming to the end of their life- can't sew them up any more times. Any climbets up for recommending decent stretchy long lasting trousers? The solidurs anygood? Not too happy about them Being 300 quid these days

It's the tea flask left on kitchen top at home that gets me going -
Your ariel rescue turns up with no climbing kit
billpierce replied to thebeardeddove's topic in Picture Forum
You decide how you want to do it and what your up for. Don't feel any pressure to do something you don't think is safe. Saying that refusals to climb will cause friction Expect plenty of folk on here climb with no aerial rescue. Others wouldn't. Personally I do, and on some jobs feel it's safe others not so much and I'll make sure aerial rescue is present. I've worked with plenty of people with tickets I wouldnt trust to even get up a tree and others with non that would rescue you in minutes. I wouldn't ask someone else to climb without aerial rescue or expect them to but wouldn't mind if they wanted to -
All my things that run on red seem to be getting blocked filters in this recent cold spell. Genny,tractors,chipper,digger. See through filter is waxy af,when brought inside it liqifies fine. Does anybody add anything to their red? Petrol mix?antigelling agent? Driving me nuts

Whats a semi with mesh?

I've broken several sets of the freedconns. It's mostly the plugs/wires/speakers that seen to break fastish,got probs a year or 2 out of them. Stopped using them and enjoying the peace up a tree not having constant chat. The freedconns lasted ok but was annoyed that the ones on my spare helmet for groundy etc broke as quickly as the ones on my climbing helmet, which seemed wierd as my ones are out getting weathered more as not switched on everyday. Will probs try better quality ones at some point.
-
What grippy gloves you reccomend then?
-
I keep trying gloves and 0ften where arbortec or pfanners but often find they get taken off when I'm climbing as dont grip as well as skin
-
Thanks. Youtoooooobe didn't like the copy right infringement
-
Yeah,haven't done loads with traffic lights,in general worked well,just the odd melon think they dont have to do red lights. Which I get as it's frustrating waiting and 2 mins feels like 10. the TM lad said we never had them on red for over 4 minutes though! The major is a hero,love that thing. Only comes out to play occasionally,but works it's socks off (and I'm the only one I let use it as suspect it's not up to modern hse law)

Like your optimism! I'd not be milling that for some good craic and a brew,even if bacon butties and few beer tokens involved. Depending what you want from it if it 6' it'll take a day to 2 to mill up into slabs. I'd make a plan with what you want to do with the timber if you mill it and go from there. Quartering might be good. But not if you want massive wide whole table to slabs

Been on doing lots of very ready to go ash trees recently. Only caught a few on vids for obvious reasons. Had TM on,amazing how many people ignore it and drive straight through red lights and right up to 4 lads in hiviz cutting a tree up over the road. The slo mo one was glorious. Very little to tidy,just winched the heavy out the river with a fordson Exciting fb version : https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BsBBN8UTv/

Ah sorry,you said already. This once a day?

Roughly how many twists and for how long and how often do you find useful?

I reckon 99% of garages just whizz wheel nuts on then clack a clacka for a few seconds. On a wee skid steer I'd just whizz them on and maybe check them in a couple weeks. Maybe. I mean if the wheels are slopping about it would remind me to check
