  1. I think the only use for it is as a tree . ?
  2. Yes its a 3 pronged blade fitted on the shaft on the opposite side to the starter cover . Spring loaded orange vented cover I seem to remember . Does not look any different to the blower only version until you fit the down succey up tube and the collection bag . I did not recon it really . Get a Billie Goat .
  3. Had a BG86 back in the day with the mulcher blade fitted to the impeller ( similar to what you suggest ) . Too Fiddely and a bit of a faf for not much result . . You have either got to get the purpose built kit or not do it . Thats what I think .
  4. To be honest , never tried one but a few on here have . You get what you pay for . Tales of starter mechanism collapsing , chain brake falling apart . The Chinese get asked to make a saw down to a price , say £60 , and they oblige . Ask them to make one for £ 600 I'm sure they could .
  5. The only one that makes any sense for me is a " Billie Goat " vac or similar . £ 200 ish might get you a dodgy , knackered , for parts only one . Can't you just use your blower and blow them up into a heap ?
  6. That is one of the Chinese Zomax saws mass produced for 22pence each and rebadged for the various outlets that sell them B&Q etc etc....
  7. Yep they are . just looked it up . They can burrow through concrete apparently .
  8. My money is on a Brontosaurus . Typical of them . ?
  9. Just get a McCulloch 10 10 with the " go kart " engine . Don't come with more grunt than that ! ?
  10. Well I can't see it coz I'm not on face book but , I'm with you Khriss , bastard !
  11. Meet the gang coz the boys are here , boys to entertain you , B O Y S boys to entertain youooooo . ! ?
  12. I had one of those and yes , it is a faff . Just use the can/drum to shovel the ash into now .
  13. You mean a vacuum cleaner ? as opposed to a tumble dryer or the ex head of the FBI ?
  14. Cant recommend a " Hoover " but as a vacuum cleaner , as said above , a Henry . Its what I use for that kind of thing .
  15. I have burnt a fair bit and find it good stuff . You need to keep it dry one seasoned as it tends to soak up moisture easily , more so than other woods . here is my most used line ....Dave ( skyhuck ) boiled his central heating using pop . ?
  16. I thought it was " simplicate and add lightness "
  17. I seem to be a Husky man . Has no one suggested a 560/562 ?
  18. I would not live with his mother in law either ...
  19. I clicked the link and it says " they must be tested as normal " so not exempt . Just coz its electric dosn't mean you can't have dodgy brakes and bald tires surely ?
  20. How can it be MOT except ? ...
