  5. Glad to Know I'm not the only one..
  6. In the old days you took a photo, black and white or color, went back to the lab and did the process. If one was good out of a 36 roll you were happy. Then photoshop 2.5 arrived. Digital camera dTS 420, big bulky job, a computer and of course Photoshop. No more dark room flutters. Long live high tec. Hd video, digital photography and now battery powered chainsaws.. But Sill love the smell of 2 stroke before breakfast..
  7. Get the super cab model. Tools behind you and more pickup space.
  8. Always remember if you have light behind you the picture wil be of dark composition. Try and take photos with light to your fronth and not to the rear. Zooming in will lessen the back light problems, depending on camera/lenses used.
  9. Agree got a new tw 80/100. Small outfit. Best discussion I have made. Free set of blades when you register. Anything over 4" is firewood. Easy To get into tight spaces.
  10. Welcome Hot Logs Do you use old candles melted down or buy wax crystals? Nice idea.
  11. I ordered one, for my next mishap...
  12. Thanks for all the advise and tips. I placed the spring in the housing and fitted it slowly around the housing, wrong way first time, then the correct way second time. The inner part of the spring was a bit bent, so had to re curve it, so the Rope rotor would catch the spring. Finger tips a bit sensitive. Will get wife to moisturise them now. Thanks again for all the help.
  13. Know the feeling.. Not reading it too well.. Must be time of the day. Ta. Will try it out in da mornin
  14. Love It. have a ranger supercab. Do you do high sides and semi roof? Best of look. Great idea
  15. Ta Nifty, but the spring is totally out.
  16. Anyone know an easy way of rewinding, a pull cord spring on a MS 200t. Ta.
  17. Ditto maybe Ok in nice open trees or on the ground, but a nightmare in Cedars etc

  20. The wife and mother-in-law lift mine all the time..
  21. Most will say 41, 40 will give you the chance to save the tree and come back again. 41 is the end.
  22. And people wonder why we charge, for why we do????
  23. Have both a 192 and 200, will test 12' 14, and 16 inch on both and tell the story.
