i had a similar one from a chap who sounded northern. said i could advertise in the local magazine, i said can you send me some information. he said i will take your card details. my reply was.. why would i hand over my details if i was not purchasing anything. i am not the sharpest knife in the Block But i could smell something fishy. he could tell he was not going to get any where so cut me off!! the cheek of it!!

severe it at the base and spray the stump using a garden sprayer. not as big as a knapsack. we have had good results.

hawthorn goes a vague orangey colour when first cut... but my initial thoughts where ALDER!!

i was using larch for strainers, the chap i was working for told me to peel of the bark up to ground level, was hell of a job but luckily i had a boy doing that while i cut to length and pointed them.

Stihl 044, running 18" should be even better now with oversized pot and piston!! Enough power to rip through most stuff and light enough to chuck round all day!

Hello, probably something that has been covered before but.... I have just put an oversized pot and piston on my stihl 44, aswell as a double ported exhaust. So going to have to run it in but was wondering about where I should be twidling the tuning screws to. I have put it back to factory at the mo.. And should I be putting in an extra glug of 2 stroke?? Cheers mark
