Yep, was thinning a lime last week with little makita 230t, not only had someone drilled it with airgun pellets, they had also driven tacks into everything up to 4/5 m. Hand to come down and sharpen 3 times, chain about dead now.groan Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Be interested to know how old the oldest freelancer is and how they are doing/enjoying themselves. I guess lots of folk get to a point where they prefer to do less climbing and have all the knowledge to run a team relatively easily? Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I use a stihl normal file guide which I reckon is slightly sturdier the the oregon ones. Just check it's a 3.2 not 4mm file you got as there are 2 sizes of 1/4 pitch chains. Stubbornly filed mine with wrong one for a while when I first got it. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I wandered about an air leak too, but the saw really hasn't done much work from new just getting to the end of 2nd chain, so would be dissapointed if it is an airleak. On the bench I can adjust idle to something about right and get no chain creep, however it will stall after 10 seconds or so if clipped and hanging vertical on harness. Alternatively I can give it what sounds like slightly high idle which means it never cuts out when hanging but sometimes as it changes angle or after a cut the chain will run, not just a bit creep either enough to make me want to sort it out. Max rpm seems the same (slightly too high)though not too bothered about this if spark plug colour is looking good. Thanks for the help Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Is that specifically for carbs with no L and H screws Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yep, good on you, you're totally right. And worth pulling people up on. Worth picking yer battles though, I.e Mr newton being pretty ironic and basically taking the piss out of people that would use the term "homo" is prob more of a dig at those people rather than at gays. But reckon you know that anyway. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Check out "capital gains" think that is what's you thinking of. You are basically right, certain high cost things you can split the cost of over different tax years Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

I've a 2000w husky 320 electric saw, it came with an 18" bar which is misleading to saw the least. An ms170 is significantly more powerful than it. Not really impressed and only use it in workshop if I really can't be arsed to start a petrol saw. Saying that you could theoretically cut firewood with it if you keep it stinging sharp and have the patience of a saint. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Got anywhere with that?had mine a while and did two cherry dismantles back to back with the old 200, having only used the 360 for months. Found the 200 a bit stronger and would also keen to see what can be done to the 360. Sent from my C6603 using Arbtalk mobile app

Yes, and that's why reg didn't use a climbing line and just had a emergency line in bag. Fine if that's what he wants to do, personally if I needed a emergency line out the tree I wouldn't fancy having to get it out a backpack and set it up, but hey Ho. Also agree with post about it not being ideal to encourage lone working for people who lookup to reg that perhaps don't have the necessary experience/common sense/ awareness of what could go wrong.
