  1. Would not be better than a 200 but would piss all over a 201 !
  2. Yep . Sent mine to spud and he did " the mod " . p.m. him
  3. I think frozen wood burns better than wood that is sopping wet . I recon when it freezes the moisture does not penetrate so much . Anyway I have found the same .
  4. I made the school boy error of interpreting " ( 3-5 min" ) as three to five minutes as apposed three to five cuts minimum ! I suppose it works out about the same really .
  5. If hot DON'T use the choke . Put it on then strait off again to set to half throttle if you want but mine starts with out setting half throttle , just one pump of primer bulb . Remember that the ignition is always in the ON position , even when you turn it off it resets to on strait away . Forgetting this can sometimes cause people to accidentally flood it . As for running in forget it as you have to set the auto tune by cutting flat out the full length of the bar for a few cuts . It tells you in the book. The de comp button pops out just from compression even if it does not fire so to be kind to the starter mech I think it is best to push it in every time you pull it over . Once you get used to the slight differences from older saws you won't look back . Best 60cc saw I have ever owned .

    Hi all

    Oi oi then matey . Welcome .
  7. Hi Stuart . Welcome bud . All the guys op here are friendly and helpful with a wealth of knowledge . You will get to know the regulars . Some are characters ! When you first read anything by Jon ( mendiplogs ) You will see what I mean . Regards Andy .
  8. No , godda come back on and say for every day stuff it just has to be my 560 . Punches well above its weight .
  9. Thats about it really . Off the ground , ( pallets or similar ) Cover the top to keep rain off , Plenty of air circulation . If its green ( live when cut ) it will; take longer to dry out than already dead wood ( seasoned ) . You can have seasoned wood that has got wet and you can have unseasoned wood that is still green . There is a difference .
  10. Well you seem to have that under control
  11. I you liked " Blazing Saddles " You would probably like " Evil Roy Slade " Made I larf !
  12. My brother went out there 20 odd years ago . Way ahead of me in every respect . says he misses the seasons but I know he would never come back for good . My advice to you based on my brother would be GO for it as soon as you can . Work hard , don't moan about anything be fixable ./ You will go far . Good luck .
  13. Don't get those wellie things ! Please , promise me . THE most uncomfortable things on gods earth .
  14. You hang in there jon . You will win in the end !
  15. Bummer Jon . As you know I am down here in Sussex and its snowed again but the roads are clear . Got no work at the moment so been processing logs for me . Keep the stove going ! . Only one thing for iot bud . Drink some cizzer !
  16. A felling license applies to the site , not the person . It is a certain amount per an allocated time frame I seem to remember . I don't think you need one for that small amount in the pic . It would be wise however to check that you are nopt in a conservation area or that there are no TPOs on any thing you want to fell .
  17. This could start another Husqvarna -v - Stihl thingy . Lets not do that . Its such a yawn .
  18. Hi big Tony ! How is that new little cocker you have ? Seemed very friendly in the back of your pickup with the black and white springer . You have not got time to wast on here bud .... go and empty the muck cart at the stables !!
  19. Hi and welcome . Have answered on your "what saw "post .
  20. The 550 would be mustard in there 560 for a little more grunt . 550 on a 13"-15" bar ,560 on a 15"-18" bar , . Do cs30/31 and you are good to go !
  21. I think every one should be made to watch saving private Ryan to high lite the horrors of war . Beetleguice , The Day of the Jackal , . Just see The Hobbit in stunning 3D ... better than I thought it would be .
