where do you buy your bars and chains from?
billpierce replied to horticultur-al's topic in Chainsaws
can;t get that linky to worky. you heard of sagenspezi out there? i seen some real cheap stihl non OEM bits including bar and chains -
back of the net!
-
agreed, or aus clip together ones, then you can just keep going!

never used the 135, but have used snother similar cc husky and the 420 is a little belter! worth every penny. closer to £240 quid through german amazon, but i reckonmend shavey off here, especially if you want your warrenty to mean anything
-
more kickback with ripping chain? maybe, but not if your milling with it. i can't be arsed with oregon ripping chain and just use normal chain, works fine. do some and then experiment if you want but ripping chain certainly isn't faster
-
yep anything under 40cc that you can get a 1/4 sprocket for (i happen to have x2 ms170 with 1/4 sprockets for sale!) get a light saw either way, doesn't need loads of grunt as you will prob block out with your 038

crown lift with a long pole saw?

agree fully with you. d-heads steal stuff and they are from many walks of life. i said it before but people got to stop generalising and tarring all travellers the same. it wouldn't be tolerated to say all women/northerners/gays/arsnel supporters/gingers/irish/ etc etc are stealing scumbags would it? (don't answer that) i got a husky 50 that wants a new piston and carb boot and a husky 37 that i just about got running, a ms170 in component parts all slowly getting screws taken off them that have dissapeared at some point

billpierce replied to tomcorke's topic in Milling Forum
sure people will tell you different, but i have always got away with larch cladding green. its pretty stable and unless putting it up in mid summer i'd say you'd be ok. worth pre drilling holes perhaps, larch sap wood definatley doesn;t last that well, but if you have big eves i wouldn;t worry too much -
best thing i done with a computer was when it became frustratingly slow, i converted to ubuntu, now it boots quicker than any laptop i had, and when you need a program you just select it and it downloads for free and installs itself. costs nothing and worth a punt before you next upgrade a computer

if your subbied in by another tree firm its hard to complain/alter about the work, but if your asked about what to do with a tree and the client says "i want to topped" or "limbed" then i ususally find you can discuss what long term impact this will have and the come round to 20-30% reduction

nought wrong with not having secondary anchor point if you have good reason for it and not cutting anywhere near you rope i reckon. i use old climbing rope for light rigging alot - prob should sort that out? should loler my kit more than once a year year and half (i do inspect it regular myself, and i'm a SE climber) climbing without a aerial recue climber present (opinions please)

with ubuntu or libre office if you just google your question 9/10 you get the exact answer. open source is the future!
-
yep libre office id good. i got sick of microsoft windows and converted to ubuntu OS, which is mostly great, and a lot faster!

mmmmmmmmmm chicken of the woods quiche.....................

basically, less leaf coverage on the furthest points of a crown, to me would indicate that the tree is feeling pretty stressed out! if the ground is lifting, i'd say the roots are knacked! v hard to really be conclusive without seeing it in the flesh- prob best getting someone local to give you a bit advice
-
thanks for the advice spud
-
so would you pump up/suck through the spark plug? - yes pressure or vac tester is there any hope with just a new piston ring?
