Echo cs420 es on 15" .325, really surprising saw I bought it as a back up and love the little thing with it's strange "farty" exhaust note at idle and reliable three pull start every time from cold. 560xp recently changed from 15" to 18" . 325, considering getting a 20" for it as I think it will take it and it's lighter than the 460 up a tree and saves the back sending stems.

My missus only blew a gasket when she got a splinter in her foot from clean bed sheets...... She now sleeps in socks.

540xp, 560xp on 15", 460 (spudded) with 20" worn and 25" in't van. Quite happy with that set up.

I know oak leaves are toxic to chickens, not sure about other species of tree or what you have on your land. I drop chip at my local allotment society and recently realised I may be making an error at times.

I have walked and retained a friendly relationship with the guy. I am glad you agree, from experience 2x cats are required per catastrophic bleed and whilst you worry about a bust artery a vein on another limb will bleed which you forgot about and will leek another pint so best to whack one on that until you get the imminent problem sorted. I like to have too much safety kit.

I pay 40 per 25 items, that is tree surgery related not IRATA which I have no knowlede of but assume is more stringent.

A private job for a number of garages owned by the same fella with overgrown leylandi hedges in Yorkshire.

Apparently mine is unacceptable, I carry one of those pathetic green bags for day to day cuts and abrasions and the following in a canoe bag; 4x CAT Torniquet 2x Chest seal (ascherman) 6x Israeli bandage standard. 2x Israeli abdo bandage. Plus, bandages, slings, triangular bandage, crepe for pressure, eye wash 20ml and 500ml. What am I missing? I am trained to carry cannula and saline, emergency airways etc but don't as I would have to insure myself to administer. Obviously spare climbing kit and ropes for rescue are a given. Grrrr. Won't be taking the job but interested to hear if I am well behind the mark of what others carry.

Custom made tarp cover needed for my Rb44
Daythe trees replied to Jonny Burch's topic in General chat
I used Dobbie Wyatt just south of Marlborough on the a338 in the savernake. They are not the cheapest but they will make exactly what you want and work on HGV tarps so know about not making them bulge/flap when driving. If you haven't had a tarp on an arb vehicle before just beware you will get the odd hole in it quite quickly (I sliced a lovely nice straight cut in mine with the pole hedge cutter easy as bending paper). I got mine as I load logs on an evening to drop the next morning and wanted to keep them dry, otherwise I would have made a plywood "chip flap" on the roof at the front. -
Slight derail as we are talking boots and trousers, but visors are the thing I destroy. Got a petzl aveo vent with the woven mesh visor. I can't get more than three weeks out of a visor. To be fair in Connie's I do use them as a face guard. Just ordered some mesh goggles of landmark using the theory that a few stabs in the face will teach me to move my head more efficiently and protect my visor/goggles. Any one got any thoughts?

I have a super cab ranger with a tipping chip box on the back, as has been said it's not perfect as it's payload is quite small. I like that my tools are locked in the alarmed cab section and that it has 4x4 whilst not being a pig on the road. I find this with a 10x5.5 tipping trailer that I can put the chipper on works for me. Just what works for me, not sting it would be right for others.
-
Thanks Jim. I have enough referrals now to buy a 192 or 150 and pass it by the missus.
-
Haha, mines done about a months work and despite really annoyingly not wanting to rev first thing in the morning and cutting out. I have found start it and let it warm for twenty seconds then rev it gently up to full throttle. Apart from that it's great, it will happily swop from aspen to 2 stroke with a two second grumble (if warm). I will now get shot by the forum for using both, but I have no problems doing so and if a saw is to be left for a while unused it's gets a tank of aspen and run on it for a few minutes prior. Seems to work.

You echo my thoughts newguyti, mine so far seems ok but the bar I think is made of an alloy with the resistance to wear of lead and the weight of mild steel. That bar is poor IMO.
-
But if it's dark and wet so everything is reflecting it could look like a narrow vehicle with unusually large lights braking. Could that be a problem? Some people don't heed that you should never drive tired!
-
Maybe I should have a look at prices, sometimes I hate this forum I posted wanting to buy a bar and now must I mean must buy a new saw.
-
Not a bad shout. Are they any good on a ten inch at full bar length. Don't they bog down a bit?
-
It's got a tech lite at the moment, I have a spare Oregon 14 which lives in the truck for when it fails. I thought 14 would be ok but it's a pain in the butt and unnecessary until I get to timber where I usually ask for the 560 anyway. At least when it falls apart with a quality bar then both ends will have a handle!
-
Got my 540 with the 14 inch bar and it's too big most of the time. Looking for a 10inch checked husqvarna they don't list one that I can see and chainsaw bars lists a 12 as the smallest. Anyone got any ideas? Ideally I would like a sugihara, but I guess they don't make one yet.

If it's for firewood then the rounds become much harder to split once seasoned, I found out by accident after leaving some stuff which I didn't need to split in the round these were 36 inch diameter.

Spruce pirate you are probably correct with my confusing terms, I can't seem to forget an article I read which was for gm and stated as part of it's argument that since we as a species started cultivating as a opposed to purely gathering our edible vegetation that we had effectively conducted gm. This was a few years ago and the article was obviously biased towards gm and omitted the term breeding to support this argument. But now thinking about a lab is required for gm I assume, so perhaps this is actually a modern way of altering plants and trees.

Doh, JLA your explanation makes lots of sense. Still scratching the stubble.

Well the potato was first grown in Peru at some point between 8000 and 5000 bce in Peru and is only classified there, according to Wikipedia, domesticated not indigenous. So if it came here before Christ by the same logic it is still not indigenous. To explain I think domesticated means they took a wild plant and conducted gm to give the modern potato. Not suggesting this is an answer but it sure made me scratch my stubble.

Haha, but not so cheap when you consider the fuel and tyre wear, oh don't forget the inevitable lunch and perhaps the stop at Bicester village on the way home. Pm your address Bren I will send a food parcel.

Can I use a rear handle saw for cs39 assessment
Daythe trees replied to Madhatter's topic in Climbers talk
Joe, you're clearly wrong, extendable three section ladder a pair of jeans then 880 on a 48 rested on the branch in one hand is how I do all my work....... Cut and hope is that not how it's done? Only issue is the torque ripping the saw out of your arm and not cutting just throwing the saw, but I find some polypropylene rope on the handle means it doesn't go to far.
