  1. When the 576 came out I sold my 372 and bought one and found it to be a pointless saw . It weighed almost as much as the out going 385 and made less power . So I sold it again and bought another 372 which Spud ported for me and still have it today .
  2. Surely as low as possible to avoid the chance of having to pay inheritance tax . Once probate is granted then , hey the world is your lobster ...
  3. Don't think he deliberately felled it knowing it had a nest in . He just did not do due diligence . In any event he is a knob .
  4. 55cc spins 9 inch line just fine . Once it gets down to about 7 inches or less its starts to rev too high IMHO . A few hundred rpm it not going to make any difference to productivity if you can still swing the machine at the same rate and it can only get faster , never slower .
  5. As you say . Each to his own . The only real time it is a disadvantage is when you encounter fox shit . Other than that its way better . I can run the 4.00 mm lines at about 9 inches long each . . Have you tried no guard ?
  6. As I have just posted in my thread . ( Summer limb drop )
  7. Have you noticed they have taken the creepy old man out of the toffee advert with the little girl in ? Werthers I think it was ...
  8. Just heard from a friend of mine that a local farmer was mowing his lawn and a limb fell and killed him out right . His land was next to the land I keepered on . Not seen the fella for a number of years but fcuk . Bit of a shock .
  9. Oh . Mine is analogue . You need hands to turn the pages 👍
  10. Do you want to buy my copy Khriss ? 🙂
  11. I have read the sign twice and unusually for me I am not confused . In another thread I started a week or so back I witnessed a Beech limb drop .
  12. I use no guard and an Oregon Jet Fit head so no friction welding occurs .
  13. I have one of those . What do expect to get for it ?
  14. Just put them in the ground if you want them to stand any chance of thriving .
  15. Electric motors inherently produce torque . Look at some of the recent electric powered motorcycles ( zero TT at the I.O.M. ) or the Tesla cars . Huge amounts of grunt . It can only get better IMHO .
  16. That would have involved some form of maintenance though....
  17. I was . Bearing in mind it was the school holidays .
  18. Privately its funny . Publicly , well , no .
