  1. Well done that man! Why wasn't a chainsaw used though? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  2. Have you tried resetting the carb screws? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  3. Small covers about 4/5 sizes in husqy, from your size (very small) to mine (34", not so small!) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  4. +1! Jet hoist are wonderful, just make sure you grab extra shear-pins Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  5. XS hiflex type c, XS X-fit for stihl Classics for husqy (size 44) No idea for others as you're 26" waist Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  6. Do you know the speed for backlap? I know it's the slowest our ride-ons do but it's still fast, mind I can always have my mower re-ground at work, but that will shorten blade life Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  8. Just remember - the weight stated on the winch is ALWAYS the maximum weight for PULLING ON A LEVEL SURFACE! On my 1.2 tirfor the lifting weight is about 2/3 of the weight, also you need to check the limits on the strop, certain ways of wrapping lower the draw weight Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  9. Pfft dealers do the minimum! Countless times I used to take my saws in because they wouldn't idle or needed tuning, buy a inductive tach and do it yourself! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  10. If the rope is doubled back on its self you double the power, 6 ton strain on each rope, so the block needs to be rated at OR higher than the rope, ideally higher as if something fails, you want it to be near the winch, not away from you, under tension! Although 10t should be fine with an 8t tractor, unless you use ground anchors Jon? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  11. I think the smallest tree will breach the felling licence Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  12. It's always higher than the winch rating, so for 6 go 10, for 12 go 15 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    MS291 any good?

    We have ms290's at work, one on 15" semi chisel and one on 18" chisel, the 15 cuts much better on semi than it did on full chisel, I would recommend 15" semi chisel for what you want Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  14. Limes (probably Tilia cordata), and with the epicormic growth, the cuts will heal over without the crown dying, although it probably will develop a bulge at the cut line Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    If its gonna break, it'll break within the warranty, as for the electrics, I reckon they'll fix any problems even without warranty, buy it Jon! You'll like it Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
