It certainly be a bit of a rollercoaster, jobs that your dreading, windy big poplars etc, can feel pretty unpleasant, then whistling away with a big grin chogging down the stem

The ones you mentioned all have a good rep, and for sure could be that buckets, buy atleast you will be able to tell if you have good luck underneath first. I have had a few older hiluxes and they have done me very well. Very slow as the older ones are n/a but less to go wrong. Hiluxs also have a excellent resale value.scrappers export for £1400 easily. I'd look at towing capacity aswell if required as it can be surprisingly low. My DC mk3 hilux is 2t for towing and the single cab I had was 1450kg or something ridiculous. Cant remember which but some if izuzu 3.0 or 3.1tds have had poor engine issues but this may have only affected troopers. If I needed a replacement vehicle I'd certainly look at the isuzu

I highly suggest a used pro model. Like a 240 260 024 026 241 if your set on still. The farmer ones are fine but you may as well have the higher umph and durability
-
Someone explain what your on about? Is it to do with not sending current via your heart? Potentially youd be quite safe on a space hopper
-
That would be potentially amazing. Seriously very kind offer. Let me know.... we plan to move into truck end of March as house renovations happening then...
-
It all be second hand. Got a 24v full size compressor fridge for 40quid. Jesus decent 12v/24vcompressor fridges hold there money well. There is a diesel heater in the truck which I haven't started to look at but it'll have a jotul 600 wee stove in there also. Aye, other bits I'll just pinch out a scrap caravan
-
Yep glass windows will remain. Got some electrics sorted, lights, split charge relay, leisure batteries, solar reg sorted. Just starting framing up the second wall which will be In the gap where the ramp goes. Will get some pics up soonish. I think the making is almost as good as the having it after

I feel like this must be true. I think petrol or chain oil contamination on ropes etc is a loler fail

Got to be a member to view. What is it?

Yah, I've just gone for a 25 on my 66 having removed it from my 44 which didnt really like a 25 that much. It's very noticeably faster in the cut. Rough I dont think people are obsessed with putting small bars on. For me it's about cut speed vs weight. I'll always grab a saw with the smallest bar I can get away with. Will cut faster and less sharpening. Cant stand seeing folk brashing up with giant saws.
-
I've found it drys out fine in the rest of the log pile. I remember buying a whole mature tree once. Couldn't believe how heavy it was at first, but as you say, quickly lightens up
-
Trying running some petrol through the oil tank with the bar if see if it pumps that. Could well be that the work gear has gone. Pop the clutch off and have a deeks
-
That seems a good deal. Flog the carving bar if no good to you and you be within budget. I have too many carving saws. Was thinking about selling some.... Back handle ms201 well used but gwo 200 quid Back handle dolmar 3401 bought new still on its first sprocket (1/4 pitch) 250 quid. I think your just over the hills from me? I'm 9 miles from Alston if you want to come have a look/go

Plenty of members on here
-
You after new or used?
-
I got a back handle ms201 with 12 " bar. My go to chipper saw and generally sub 8inch saw. I bought it for carving, but spends alot of its life just cutting stuff up. It's the non autotune one, was about 200quid second hand and has been faultless. Deffo got a zippy non shit one. New I'd be looking at a 360wes or little dolly 4100 ( or whatever the number is)
-
Prolly best to stick a few pics up.
-
I was pretty shocked at the time. Came back to them, explained they were arguing over 12 quid and their welcome to get other quotes. Since then have done quite a bit for them and have always charged full fat price from then on.
-
I remember quoting for an old landlord. They had a medium ash tree over an oil tank they wanted out. They had been good to me so I wanted to be fair, I said it's a 4 to 6hr job, I would like 20quid an hour and my groundie will need 15. They got back to me saying they would pay 12 an hour for groundy. I literally couldn't believe it. They are really nice people, but not shy of a few Bob. I've offered to do a job seriously cheap and they still try to save 12quid bartering.
-
Interesting stuff. How did you find that job? Did you have experience making they big nests? How are the its joined? Just like a a loose weave or actually fixed?
-
Ah, seems like a pretty new chain and pretty new bar. Puzzling. I put the tension as per with a normal large bar and chain then just a smidge more as this lopro does seen to pop off its rails easier.

Just Googled ringpuffer. Fairly unexciting results
