How does the flywheel look? Is it somehow mashed where it connects with the starter pawls?
-
I like calling them toppers.

360 is great so far......saying that since i got a 2511 no other toppers are getting a look in 360 doesn't scream like 200 does but seems to cut well and has been reliable. On a big dismantle I'll probably pick up the 200, but would also be quite happy with the 360 if it's all i had....if I lost them both and had to replace the 360 would probably get bought as I got it for alot less new than a new 201

I may be incorrect but does it fall under the " competent person" thing like use of chai saw etc. Qual not essential, but the easiest way of prooving competence. Few hours and a few videos of best mewp fails ever 2018 with a trainer makes you competent to dismantle a tree from a mewp. Hmmmm?

I did my ipaf. Felt like a box ticking exercise tbh. Aimed mostly at construction. Didn't learn much, did the test on a miniscule scissor genie lift. Possibly required for you Insurance or whoever is subbing you in (councils etc). Educationally not up to much ( the one I did anyways), didn't relate to arb work at all.

choosing a replacement wood burner
billpierce replied to openspaceman's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Don't know what ecobirn standards are but the rereleased it with clean burn technology it's called an f602cb. Do shout if you want to sell your old 602. After one just now. Ta -

Did you not get On with the 602? They do a clean burn version. Selling the 602 by chance? -
On a compromised rope I was taught to just use a prussoc loop to clip the injured onto my bridge and let them dangle off that once disconnected from their line. Don't climb srt so not familiar with whether that would work joe?

Learn to do a Blake's hitch, prussoc, figure of 8 knot and bowline knot. It shoyld be geared towards beginner so the pace shouldn't be to crazy! I take it you don't already have any climbing kit?
-
Thanks for sharing. Looks good. X rings at top?
-
Aye, just keep at it. You'll stop thinking about it after a bit

Cheers spud

Do you mean comfortable like saw hips/crushed bollocks or comfortable find it all alarming?
-
Am I right in think on the left side of that pic, on the spar was another eye and rope to groundie/bubbleman?

Lads/lasses on full time Mick or subbie as and when? 3 does seem to mean your actually still human at the end of day not just a monosylabic sofatard.

Looks a nice wood. You felling as well Jonathan?

Mmm. Anyone messed on with a 190t? Just went to start it to check oil flow ( was fine) and the fecker would start. No fuel getting to spark plug. Good spark. Good gap. No wet plug. Runs when drop a dash on air filter. Throttle and choke linkage all good. Fuel line seems good, thought I could have nipped it when pulled the tank, but seems well. Hesitant to pull the carb as was working well before and haven't touched it. Lol, really hate saws sometimes. Just when your thinking you've got the hang of fettling them.

Don't get the up the tree fag breaks that way though Mick. Sounds pretty efficient, 3 man team?
-
Honestly connie bashing from a mewp was so much better than climbing, I actually really enjoyed it! 2 in basket, cut and Chuck.
-
Just had to change the oil pump on a ms190t. Ridiculously complicated. Stayed cover, flywheel, whole side case, brake handle, and both fuel and oil tanks to be removed first. Seems to be oiling better now. Hate those little ms170 style oil pumps too. All good now like. 190t anyone? Hardly used!
-
Yah, seller is claiming he was hacked. Amazon say they will issue a refund. Well see what happens. Guess it was too good to be true
-
Mild alarm bells ringing with talk of bravado and enjoying the revving of the saw..... Stay safe pal
-
Openspaceman sent them to me and can forward what I got if you pm me your email

Didn't get to the cost part. That does seem quite dear. Would prefer a 4x4 dyna I think https://goo.gl/images/imKDMt
