  1. Yea but what about all the oil I saved ? ?
  2. I can say the same only mine run 50:1 .
  3. But these aren't " flail - type " cutting attachments . No swinging chains . Cutters are riveted to the disk . Not saying the wont fly off if they take a knock but this is not what is described in the European Commission document that you quoted .
  4. Sorry I was meaning hand cutters in general , thinking that coppicing would not keep you going all year round so you would have to do some forestry cutting and yes I was meaning a forestry harvester .
  5. This , or .......Get yourself a Gimp ! ? ( The spider has ought a fly Zed ! )
  6. Don't mind the look of them . Only 5" flue though .
  7. I agree totally . However I was speaking to Mark Oden yesterday ( MJO Forestry ) and he said if its got it it will die eventually . How much of this statement is commercially based I don't know . He has felled thoudands on tones and is currently enjoying a boom in the round wood sales .
  8. Yep I have seen them before . Clearing saw had one on . It was in this country a few years back .
  9. He knows Eggs . I messaged him when I messaged you .
  10. Don't worry Bud . Vesp did it all the time ..?
  11. A felling leaver does not fit in my wedge pouch. How long is the handle on that wedge ? Not much less than a short breaker bar ..
  12. If it was one buck rabbit against one rat I would have my money on Buggs .
  13. I have asked this . The containers are quite heavy duty plastic Seems a shame not to re use them . You could maybe get a few pence back as an incentive ? Like the old soda syphons . . Chucked a Husqvarna one in the recycle today . They took it no problem as it didn't smell of petrol .
  14. I like a happy ending . ?
  15. And so it comes round again . Another thread extolling the virtuous of soft wood . This drum has been banged by me and others for a long time . Why is the message not getting through ?
  16. Yep I see that . My mate wont sharpen an 020/200 chain coz the down time lost cutting is more than the cost of a new chain . Thing is , about your point , you just might be in better health in those 2 years to keep on using that saw ...
  17. Any of you guitarists out there use/used a Vox AC 35 Tony Bruno model ? Its based on the AC30 but the circuitry has been designed by Tony Bruno , for Vox , ( American bespoke amp designer ) . Its sorta Fender BlackFace meets Marshal . Slightely darker in tome that the AC30 . I got one and an AC 30 with the old British " chime"
  18. Fair play mick .Each to his own . Do you remember black and whit TV , 405 lines ? some great programs ?
  19. Like I said . If it was not here we would all be doing what you are . I have been the same . Been using pump fuel for years with no apparent problems but I know its better for me and I know its better for the machiene . Strip a saw that has been using Aspen from the get go and inside its clean as a whistle . Practically zero carbon build up . Strip a saw that has run on pump fuel all its life and its a different story . ...Not saying your lungs have carbon build up but there must be some advantages ..
  20. My nephew in Australia had size 13 feet when he was about 13 years old . It looked like he had a couple of canoes on the end of his legs . ?
  21. The thing is If Alketite fuels were not here we would all go on using pump fuel . Our life style choices are irrelevant . Its like the MMR vaccine . Before it we would still be getting measles . I use it coz its there and its better . Better for me and better for my saw/hedge cutter/log splitter etc etc .
  22. Not considered Husqvarna ? I find they cut fast and have bigger gaps between cutters to accept bigger stuff .
