So far everyone I've met in the industry in real life has been nothing but helpful, patient and willing the take the time to show and teach me stuff. A ls well as give me a balance view of the profession.

 

Unfortunately 99% of social media hasn't been so kind but negative people always seem to shout the loudest.

 

I'm developing a thick skin and it's paying off.

 

 

Unfortunately , in life , there are some people that take a delight at watching others fail . I don't understand it myself but its there . Women and horses springs to mind .

I know where you are coming from . Its all new and kinda exciting . However ( and this has nothing to do with the fact you are a woman ) dragging brash to the chipper does get a bit gutty after several years . Lets hope it gets you further in the job . Good luck to you matey .

Isn’t there a blanking plate or something in the 365 that’s easily removed to give it 572 power?

Its a fin in each of the transfer covers . just dremmel it off and shazam ! 🙂

I hate ladders . 🙂

I have always used the example Steve posted . The 60cc divided by 3 = bar length in inches 18" . As Steve says its a guide . It kinda suggests what the compromise is between balance and efficiency . Of course you could  put a a 24" bar on a 30cc saw and if you were gentle it would cut albeit slowly . It would not be efficient though .

Yep . I'm ready . ?

Really, just robbed me £7. Ok nps ill do that, whats sharper a new chain or a 'properly' sharpened chain? And iam based cumbria id rather send it off somewhere to ensure l get a proper proffesional job! 

 A properly sharpened chain . A chain that is near the end of its useful working life , if sharpened properly,  will have narrower cutters thus removing less wood ( narrower kirfe )  therefore less resistance resulting in slightly faster cutting speed. I some times will give a new chain a stroke or two with a file if I have nothing better to do .   

My dog could do a better job using his knob !

My Pfanner Zermatts are lasting well .......
