    If you put in a search there is shed loads on it .
  2. Im find walking backwards gives a better finish too . Thought it was only me !
  3. They both have problems . The early 201 was pants . There is an " enhancement kit " for it , new fly wheel and ignition unit I believe . Think all new saws have it anyway . T540 is a cracking saw for a while but fragile . Put in a search .....
  4. Id be strimming that first with my Husky 545RX . No guard running 2 lengths of 4mm square Diamond Edge line . With no guard you can spin 8 or 9 inch lengths giving you a 16" or so swipe . You need 45cc or more though . So maybe a bigger more grunty strimmer ?
  5. Hayter Osprey ? With the 8.5hp engine . I have one and it drags me all over the place !
  6. Trouble is the life time of a 261 crank is a couple of months .....
  7. That means then , that you could never shoot a woodie ever as they nest all year round . Tell that to a farmer with a few acres of peas .....
  8. REMOVE that Pop ! Nicely done bud and my foot was tapping all the way through ....
  9. I would have better than a clue , I would be pretty certain they had a nest whatever the time of year ....I am 61 now and shot them from about 15 years old . Never Ever make dent in the pigeon population even with red hot barrels

    Did his mower break ?
  11. They taste a little bitter when on the rape ./ I prefer shot over peas
  12. You do have an air leek for sure . Spud will be along soon . He does this on a daily basis .
  13. I'm not sure either as I don't bother shooting any more ( can't be arsed ) but we would turn the gas banger off after a few days as they had got used to it and set up and fill yer boots !
  14. I think the Husky cut the fastest and have the largest gap between the cutting teeth for cutting larger bits . They are a cutter as apposed to a trimmer .
  15. Mmmmm . that's why I was a little bit more diplomatic . They are classed as vermin on farm land and so legitimate quarry species but not sure about on the nest situations hence the form of my post .....

    Green eyed monster me !
  17. Windsor make , or did make good quality bars and chains . Don't know if they still do but their 3/8 is the same as anyone else s 3/8 ......
  18. I never new that bud . Just assumed it was what it sad it was never having measured it accurately .

    Come on Andrew . Admit it , Its your gaff !
  21. Bit like the old tree bicycle ........
  22. Yep . They pretty much do have at it all year round . Having shot countless woodies in my time I still can't bring myself to interfere in any way when they are sitting or have young . Wait till whatever s there has fledged then get in quick before they start again !
  23. Its not just you Jon . I think it every one !

    The one or two I do like in Bosham do have neighbors but they are a good rifle shot away . The lawns are huge !
