  1. Yep I have done that with them . Could not remember what they were called . Had a mini digger of a friend so all went well .
  2. Dan . Is that those plastic cages wrapped in a semi permeable membrane ?
  3. Get Eggs on the job ! ? @eggsarascal
  4. Once you have bought the correct bar for your saw you might be able to use the chains you have ( if they are the correct gauge and pitch ) by having the extra drivers removed and spinning it back together . Any one ( dealer or otherwise ) who makes up loops can do it .
  5. So . Completely wrong for your desired application then .
  6. Never realized this Khriss . Makes sense as it is what the tree has become used to ?
  7. In a nut shell you have the wrong driver link count ( you said so your self ) You may also have the wrong bar ( could be a Husqvarna mount / gauge ) you could also have the wrong pitch 3/8 , .325 or 3/8 low pro , or any combination thereof . You need to show the stamping on the bar so that someone like Rob D cant determine what you have .
  8. I tried those years and years ago and found that after a short while the plastic rollers ware down putting the file too low .
  9. God is so unfair . He has blessed that woman with ridiculously good looks and then he has given her outrages quantities of musical talent .
  10. I'm inclined to say that is complete bollox . Not the alien species bit but the " license " bit .
  11. Did you insert an irrigation pipe into the hole . Makes a good difference . No water wasted with run off .
  12. So how many driver links should there be when using an Oregon 16" bar on a Stihl 170/211 ? ( it may be a different driver link count because the Oregon bar mount holes and slot may be in a different position to an OEM Stihl one . )
  13. There is no way to defend having a waz on a memorial for sure . Thing is , because he is a total drongo , he probably had no idea there was a memorial there . After all he had no idea what statues he was " defending " or who/what they represented .
  14. Hope so Gary . Fingers crossed mate .
  15. In plantations I would have said its about 60:40 In favour of obviously infected trees but of course tons and tons have been felled now .
  16. 2 years ago I said something similar but now , well its depressing Khriss .

    Orange makita

    Andrew ! what scent do you use on your stationary mate ? ?

    Stihl 211

    I am guessing they are a different mount .
  19. I have everything with sky .
  20. If . its all if isn't it ? If they are not to spec you would have some come back surely ? You are probably right in saying chalk it up and walk on but if there were a bad batch ......
  21. I never considered a Rockwell test to be expensive as it only takes about 30 seconds . Place component on the flat surface of the tester , lower the diamond point onto the component , wait a few seconds till the dial/readout stops moving and read off the result .
  22. Take the broken bits to a tool room and get them tested on a Rockwell hardness tester . Check that result against the spec . Looking at the fracture I would say that was at least 62 Rockwell C .
  23. Incorrect heat treatment perhaps ?
