  1. The waiting for the stihl man to turn up with an 880 magnum for that tree....:lol:
  2. Check the fuel lines, and smell the fuel in tank, if its old it will be manky. If so the carb will need a good clean out aswell. Don't know about the saw, just a techs advise.
  3. Yes, I have a good stock of timber for cross cutting... Yawn how boring... A saw for ground use is always thrown into timber, depending on the repair, if new pot and piston a tank goes through it, local tree surgeon gets some timber logged up and I test a saw. If a top handle it also goes to the local tree surgeon when I'm groundie that day so it can be tested properly up a tree, as the 200t can run perfectly on the ground but its not until its up a tree that problems can become apparant IMO.
  4. :lol: I don't drink anymore eggs. When I did when I was at college I was like mr bolam..:lol: It was the best way, unless of course its the cizzer....:lol:
  5. Motorways, a roads, country lanes. All flail clearence on roadside. With the available speed and size, they could move a lot quicker than blokes with strimmers or a tractor, time and motion saver.
  6. The biggest fry up you can get and a fresh orange juice. And that's followed by a 2ltr bottle of water or squash. Hangover is due to lack of fluids. Pump them in for most of a morning and the rest is just tiredness. Also when out drinking have a pint of water for every 2 pints of beer. Use dot that all the time when out, works a treat, doesn't help the tired feeling but beats a hangover every time.
  7. Oh I don't know. Being on the bow ploughing through 30ft sees trying to find a target getting drenched. And the adrenalin just flows non stop for hours........ Or jumping off the bow to recover or investigate and sinking vessel.... I know what I would rather be on.:thumbup:
  8. Thats it. Its the get it going well and not being able to use it, have to give it back, then I get anxious and have to ask the customer next time they bring something in how it went. Then the feeling comes back again..
  9. There's no suprise.... A husky in for repair. :lol:
  10. Oh dear.. I hate traffic jams. And just other traffic in general. I have put the lifeboat sign up a few times. The blue flash tends to get people moving out the way a bit. Although not reccomended if you too far away from the sea. Might get some funny looks. I couldn't do 15 hours like that. I will just keep using my private helicopter from now on......
  11. Yep I will match your 2000 and add better manovarability and self righting.
  12. Didn't say anything about doing it for free,, :thumbup::lol: Just fell a few satisfy an urge then back to workshop:001_cool:
  13. Does anyone else get an urge to go out and cut down some trees. I just get a good feeling sometimes that I would love to get out and do some felling. Get some time behind a saw rather than taking one to pieces, actually use the damn things for what they where intended.... I guess its more of a craving than anything. Plus the hedgecutters are getting boring at the moment. Turning into a zombie behind the grinder latly...
  14. :lol: I know that feeling at the moment. Bit more mower blades but still a lot of hedge cutter blades getting turned over.
  15. Carefull now it may get moved to the lounge........ F r jones are second to none on delivery. I ordered from my local stihl dealer, and I try not to. Ordered Monday they turned up today....
  16. You will only do that the once... At least it was running.
  17. Could have told you that from my one.... Is that a clean bench I see there Barrie would be very proud. Talking of Barrie, not heard from him in a while.....
  18. Yep I was speechless when I put it on and clipped on the long reach hedge cutter. Just the one hand is able to control the cutter. Me and wolfie was talking about how sometimes you will reach out with one hand on the throttle control and the other on the back of the engine just to get that extra reach. With the harness this sort of handling is effortless. Anyway. I loved it. And I could happily wear it all day, just would need someone to follow me with a fuel can so I don't have to stop to fill up. Maybe an extension on the harness with a bigger fuel tank on your back, just pump it straight onto hedge cutter. Keep going all day long. :thumbup:
  19. Yes. :lol::lol: Are you sure its not a hornbeam.....:lol:
  20. Ok no problems. Just what I needed to hear. Maybe a curtain sider and strap it down. Will let you know.
  21. Ok. I've messaged the bloke form lifeboat. But may need some info. Size, weight, manoveroubality, if needed can it be lifted onto a lorry trailer. Or put on with ramps. Etc
  22. Of not a bloke at the lifeboat does transport. Not sure about a wheeled machine but I can ask him for you I guess.
  23. When do you need it shipped by? Could be interested in doing a round trip I guess.
  24. Get some ramps and chuck it in the removals lorry....
  25. I was about to be disappointed to be honest...... Thought there was going to be no brewery pics,.. But then they appeared. By the way that is one bang tidy truck And the waitress wasn't too bad either. Think they call that bang tidy aswell.
