  1. Treewizard , you are toooo quick !!
  2. Genuine frontier gibberish that is ......
  3. Heard one to day . First time for a few years now . I think they are in decline for whatever reason ??
  4. I use the ram of the bottle jack to push mine out . I helps if you make the " mold " with some draft angle . ( tapered sides )
  5. We had a 575 in our armory and it scored a piston after about 6 months from new . I seem to remember there being a bad batch of fuel lines that perished prematurely allowing it to run lean causing it to nip up . It was peculiar to 575s only for some reason . Never loked it anyway . Much prefer a 372 .
  6. The other " give away " is in the spec it says a Stihl chain is fitted . I run Stihl chains some times on my Huskys but they wont come as standard from new !
  7. Sure it wasn't you looked like Brad pitts ring ?
  8. Scott .With that attitude you will go far bud . Not strait away , but you will ........
  9. Some fell on stoney ground .........
  10. Mmmm. a little confusing . Whats not confusing is the Chinese Zomax , re badged to whatever saws are TOTAL PANTS and should be avoided !!!!!!
  11. Phew thought no one was going to mention that ! Check out the thread on the new Forst / Jensen chipper . Seems they have taken the best bits of Jensen and got rid of the not so good bits and made all good !
  12. I had a patch of grass that I had to cut ( strim ) for W.S.C.C. on one of their empty properties . There was a flit wall boundary to a quiet road and someone threw all their dog muck over the wall into the grass . Got fed up with getting it in the face so went round and collected it all up ( it was in those little bags ) and threw it back over . I got into trouble over that .
  13. The chepie Chinese saws are made by " Zomax " Then sold to all sorts and re badged according to the outlet concerned . ( some times re badged illegally as Stihl etc ) They are total PANTS ..........
  14. I would shoot up the tree with my anti gravity boots on and cut it back with my nuclear laser saw thingy . Thats th ay to do it . ( no charge )
  15. I tend to agree with the legendary Mr Varty on this one .
  16. Pretty good here in West Sussex Jon mate .
  17. <p>Steve . How are you matey ? I expect you will see it soon enough but just wanted to say check out the woods ported 562 on the 560 letting me down thread . Looks good !</p>

  18. As others have said the spikes/dawgs are for just that . Bit the dawgs into the wood and pivot the saw keeping the revs at optimum cutting speed . Don't let it scream but don't lean so hard as to bog it down . You can " feel " when its working its best .
