    Think Petal Vertex are good for 10 years from date of manufacture - I only know because I looked it up the day before we started on a FC site.

    Decent signage, chainsaw protective gloves and yes make sure your helmets in date.

    the stinger ?

    You don't work for GM do you? ?
  5. buffalo606
    Yup both GM and Forst service guys have been pretty great on the phone in the past. And you're right, you do get 250kg less chipper with the Quadchip - which I guess is both good and bad. I would love a chipper that doesn't have a reputation for breaking frequently and also that I can maintain/repair independently when it does..

    Why would a Greenmech Quadchip/626hrs be worth £6,250 when a Forst ST6/887hrs is £9,750 - 56% more. Looking for input as I have only used Forst TR6 and not the Quadchip.

    Yes, sorry, and Brighton too ?

    It's in France. But there are still quite a few big elms in Scotland...
  10. buffalo606
    Ah okay. Leaves about 7cm and were quite thick.

    Cheers, don't see that many out here. Any idea what kind from the photo?

    Tree split in recent storm here in South West France. It's about 22m. Any ideas?

    Linking in with this topic Pretty basic footage but illustrates some of the capabilities of a mobile and rapid winch system.

    We used one of the above portable petrol winches almost every day for 4 years (in Scotland). Pulling: trees over, logs out of rivers and up vertical embankments, trucks out of snowy ditches, hung-up multiple windblown trees off houses and out of tree canopies, land rovers out of bogs, tracked chippers out of streams, brash piles 50m to the chipper, rootplates up/down/sideways, trailers up snowy hills.... Have spent the last 2 years seriously wishing I had one... and genuinely wondering why I don't
  16. buffalo606
    Yes it is and yes it does!

    It seems at odds to hate feminism because of the actions of one women who has actually done more damage to the feminist cause than to advance it. There seems to be plenty of anger in the world already - maybe reserve hate for injustice?

    I don't care how much you earn or what machines you own Stefan but I do think your enthusiasm is awesome. While there is no way I would put in those hours simply for money it makes me smile to see an eternal optimist going for it. Bonne vacance - you deserve it.

    I think more covered in dirt than poisonous - so yes infection like hawthorn, blackthorn etc - I've only climbed one in NZ
  20. buffalo606
    Phoenix palm: poisonous stabbing spikes, rats, doesn't really chip, heavy. They look pretty though.
  21. buffalo606
    Yup - but still not returning to a nice low idle. Not sure if the cable is sticky or there is a weak/missing return spring?
  22. buffalo606
    Just noticed this "gap" - this would indicate why the idle screw had no effect. I'm still not sure why throttle cable is not retracting fully..
  23. buffalo606
    Me Stihl BR600 idles at high revs (and cut-off switch bit temperamental) but otherwise fine - it would be nice not to have the thing spinning around every time I start it. Throttle cable and trigger unit seems okay, air filter clean, spark plug fine. Adjustment of the idle screw on the carb seems to do nothing... Any ideas?

    Regrowth.

    It that 100% hawthorn or a mix? Brilliant - like a live dry stone dyke.

    Cheers. What woods are classed as durable? And therefore suitable for outdoor use.
