...and the customer is always right. I'm with @doobin though, the woodlands have been felling big trees amongst smaller ones forever and we'll see more of it if continuous cover forestry takes hold and of course it has been the case with coppice with standards anyway. Woodland continued to exist in the face of clearance for agriculture because it provided an economic output, since timber prices have declined in real terms for best part of a century they have been bought up by various entities whose failure to realise it was harvesting of timber and other produce that conserved them and management by green welly booted graduate ecowarriors is destroying what they wanted to preserve.

One of the larger tree work firms in Sussex managed to kill off a part of the leylandii screen around their yard from leachate from their chip store.

Hatz uk at Hinckley will supply direct but they were not cheap or particularly helpful when I dealt with them 7 years ago.

No, saws with purge bulbs are better should be able to pull some cooler fuel through. My main worry with this happening is that when hot and running it could over weaken the mixture so not starting when hot may be protecting the engine. I have noticed something similar with the 346 I rebuilt when logging in the hot weather last week, so I gave up.

I can't see it being worth it myself. I might cannibalise o broken saw for its crank and put it in another for the hell of it but throw £200 at it... -
It looks like this is little more than a requirement to keep spares for a number of years and I've not found a problem with that. It falls down with stuff with fancy electronics which cannot be reprogrammed. Even with cars and their OBD2 ports there is much on a modern car that isn't covered.

I don't think so, it may only extend a few inches a year unlike privet's 3 foot but it's not that bad. I talked with John McHardy at Longleat when he was planting the yew maze and he said it would be established in 12 years but I have never been back to see it.

I think it's box that smells like that

I believe the HETAS engineer can only self certify his own (tautology alert) work

I imagine they are much the same as we used to produce as woodwool. 5"min-14"max 2 metre softwood that are peeled then passed over an automatic planing device to produce shavings for animal bedding.

That looks like the worm drive gearbox off a roller blind door.

I never did enough milling to experience a band snapping but in 1974 I was assisting Eric on the forestor horizontal mill and he was explaining how a band jumped off and sliced a chap in half so I kept my distance after.

Hell no I much prefer to see the ladies, talented family Timon

How many ecoplugs have you inserted? I didn't do a great deal, probably about a thousand, but the brad point works well on the (now obsolete) BT45 drill and clears the frass better than a HSS drill. It is also the bit supplied for the purpose.I did service the 3 BT45s and re sharpened the few bits that the uarbs hadn't tossed into the cess when they got blunt. The collar works better than a welded washer as it is easier to fix at the 30mm depth as you re sharpen the bit

I think even 2 star had lead in it back before unleaded was available. I believe the lead also acted as a lubricant and two strokes benefited from that. By now I would have expected to see a study showing how much better kids were growing up without as much lead in the environment twenty years after leaded petrol was removed from sale.

Is unleaded avgas available in UK? I thought it was all 100+ octane and leaded here

Sylvestris and nigra are the only common ones with 2 needles but some of the 3 needle pines can exhibit just 2 needles. Scots has the bluish needle and smaller cones.

I only thought copper sprays were to combat fungal infection and didn't realise any such products were still on the market.
