  1. Sorry to derail the thread some what but why would you want to run a 3/8th chain on a 550. Surely it would cut slower as it is creating a wider kerf. Have been running the narrow kerf oregon chain but finding it a bit delicate- snapped a couple of cutters but does seem to cut fast in the timber. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Beautiful place I only visited kings canyon and the sequoia national park in my quest for trees. Beautiful place especially enjoyed the northern parts we visited around lake tahoe Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Some cracking sticks when I went to California, hard to get your head round the girth of em Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. Running single cab transit here. I find the double cab is a right old bus to manoeuvre. Planning on getting a tool box made up like on the sprinter In the picture. At the moment it's tools on the back. Would prefer them locked away out of sight. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. I got some orange Marlow stuff, probably the only Marlow line I would ever contemplate owning, seen to have very few problems. I think the secret is the morisons bag for life I keep it in Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Always impressed with the sip inovation 2's. Like wearing a pair of jeans. Hard wearing outer material and always wash up well. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. It's a replaceable part. Tree kit can supply a new part. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Ooo wow seal at the top. I came up with a way of stopping that.... wearing trousers and not shorts![emoji12] Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Wonder if you could find a UK stockist of the Chinese ones. Then it would it would be easy to return if they went pear shaped. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. No just flash me old fella. I should have said for night riding- on my mountain bike Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Hmm, that is a shame. We use some Chinese mountain bike lights that are brilliant. Occasionally I hear of a duffer but generally they are good. But can be had at £ 15-20 so easily replaced. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. How you getting on with these Fred wood? The units holding up alright? Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Based in Somerset so probably be best if I post. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. No. Think how much the companies are earning in replacement parts these days!! Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. http://Www.powertipper.co.uk Based just up the road from me. Friendly guys they came out and showed me one. They said it will tip more weight then your truck can hold. Is held in your bed with one bolt and can be removed easily with two guys. They fab up all sorts so can create sides to go with it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. That is exactly it. I used to buy second hand tools- when I was starting out as their was no other way. You can never be 100% about a tools history unless it new. Would only buy new now. Hate to think I am funding the theft Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Excessive milking. Others have been so stiff you can barely tie a knot in it. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Not a fan of Marlow ropes- I would consider most of makes before Marlow Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Where you based tuscan? As I can't say it is working I can't charge for it. Basically if you get it and it works then you buy me a drink. It's just sat in my shed so seems a waste Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Came off an old entec I had. The anti stress did not work but I did not think the box was at fault. The green light comes on when plugged in. Any one need one? Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. He's here all week folks... to be fair my wife would probably find that amusing Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Scraping the barrel here Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. Yeah and lots of it! Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Your right and they is never any DANGER money but I still get excited as you never know what your going to find, usually a twig I kick out the road then head back home. Sent from my SM-G900F using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Hi all was setting up road side this morning for some work to the rear of a property which is next door to a magistrates court when the security guard came and started quizing me. Asking me what i was up to, i explained. Then he said that i could not work as it would make to much noise. I said i will start and if its too much then i will stop. Luckily it was fine but it did pass through my mind is there a law actually stopping me? I remained polite and friendly after he came over a bit funny in the first place but the chap seemed decent enough
