could not agree more, flameing hundreds of them around sedbergh  coming from miles around, now we have bikers blasting around meeting at devils bridge. I ride but  I ride all year, all weathers  not like this lot that run away at the first sign of rain. we have people living in second homes ,hiring holiday homes just to get away from from the places they live to come here to "be safe" they don't lthink about the small community with a high elderly population they are coming to absolute selfish tossers

many years ago used to use single rope with spliced eyes at both ends and two prussic loops to move about a tree this was with Leicester cc so you  had two points of attachments

bough a pair of altbergh defender boots ex army for £60 brilliant also use them when on my motorbike as I like to walk when I go touring

has anyone had any problems with echo 2t oil we run echo blowers and hedge cutters great kit but found they where running very hot when running on this oil , so went back to husky ls oil they then ran cooler any thoughts

I use one for brashing up and small cutting eg rhodo clearance nice nd light nd small

we run 15 and take the spark arrester out gives a little bit more poke

any of the etasia range will do that easily we used tohave the pro series mowers then went to john deere they don,t compare

used stilh for years found single sided cutters went blunt quickly then went to shindawa which was brilliant best cutter I,ve used in 30 years it was knicked last along with all our 2 stroke kit anyway it got replaced with echo which took over shindawa and they are good

great show and some good bargains didn't buy owt had a bad case of shjney kit synbrome thank god I went on my bike so had limited space

we have echo hedgecutters at work with the collector blade on top of the blade which ithought was a bit of a gimmick but it works really well they are well made at a good price

saw them at the start the last supper looked like it would be unbelievable great show I was a bit p-ssed off at the price of the food £7 50 for a coke nd sausage baugatte

got 3 new 550s after we where burgled having had 346s had problem with one once hot it wouldn't tick over nd stall on take up that one went back to husky other two we were told to hold it at full revs for 10 secs from start up to the autotune re set

had my 266 for20 years till it got nicked with the rest of our kit it would run a 24 inch if needs be a brill saw

I always have a climbing rope near at hand wether in basket or on ground with a throw line this is after having been stuck 45 ft up after the main hydraulic line ruptured and we couldn't lower it ,but you must lower yourself down on the machine side of the mewp

had both ms 260 &261 found 260 better had all our saws ,hedgecutters ,blowers and strimmers nicked have now replaced stilh with 550xp and find them lighter and as powerfull and better balanced
