  2. I tried to say the same Mick but in a genteel way ( as its in memory of a family member ) but hell yes point made 😀
  3. Is that your house its next to or the neighbors ? If its the neighbors he may have a point , if its yours you planted it ( albeit in memory of a family member ) too close to your own house .

  7. Back , knees , shoulders and for arms . Shot to bits .
  8. I would have said , from the pics , half of that is brash .
  9. I was like that. Sat down with a cup of tea at six in the evening to watch the news and was asleep within 5 mins . Its not good for you .
  10. Jamie How would you say it compared to a 661 ?
  11. I felled one that was sound ( on my front lawn ) and several years later I felled it again as it coppiced very well . Excelent fire wood .

    Gone mad

    That is spooky Mick . We were taking 20 feet or so off the poplars right at the end near the lock gates . Got to know some of the people there too .
  18. Oh yes , a climber I used to work for would bin an 020 chain when dull as ( in his words ) the time out taken sharpening out weighed the loss of earnings on the job ! He was shit at sharpening though !
  19. I have tried various makes over the years including the early Husqvarna blue ones that were basically a couple of sleeping bags on each leg . Apart from an Australian pair ( Cloggers ? ) which aren't CE marked I always come back to Pfanners .
  20. I think I will stick to the appropriate round file and a flat file for the rakers . Thanks though 🙂
  21. Pfanner for strides and anything that is comfortable in boots but NOT " chainsaw wellies" Instruments of torture .
  22. Its more the fact that they don't have proper wheel bearings , only plain steel bushes .
  23. I was binning them every 2 weeks ! 😃 The Oregon plate is best IMHO . What is a Stihl easyfile ?
