No, because the limb was still attached, the vascular system would have still been feeding from the roots, unless the tree has drained the moisture from unnecessary places to aid in the secretion of resin to seal the wound Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Overhead lines and trees (utility guys & gals)

Just ring WPD and they will come and sort it Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -
For clarification, it is RECOMMENDED you refresh every 5 years as a professional. There is no current legal requirement in any sector of the industry, just restrictions set by groups such as FISA or the Arb Association. Mog, give it a rest, you're like a broken record! If you object so much to refreshing, don't do the job as this is the only industry where our machinery operating qualifications don't expire. Do you object this much when you have to retake your first aid? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

WPD are the network owner in your area, give their customer hotline a call (you can find it on their website) and they will dispatch a team to cut it back Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk -
You just covered the reason in your question, watch his other videos, he destroys his hedge in new, innovative and dangerous ways every year Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yes, I did think that about the axe too, if you were measuring with a hatchet (hand axe) you could be stood a hundred meters away, but with a felling axe or maul, you could be a few feet. It was also confusing with the gob taking 3 cuts, then a back cut for a pry bar (not a felling lever) and then an additional felling cut. No indication was given to where any of the cuts should be placed! As patronising as the 'how to fell a tree' instructions are in the chainsaw manuals, they definitely have a better guidance, apart from the husky one, their method always lands to the right.

Felling a tree is easy though! Getting it to go where you want is the skilled bit, otherwise nobody would bugger it up and get tree surgeons. We need people to bugger up attempts to reiterate why we are needed in the first place! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Its progress because it's a one man operated v8 chainsaw (predator is 2 man), a throttle to control rpm and wheels! Dog spikes aren't necessarily for felling, I use them when crosscutting too! We need a British v8 saw now to show how it should be done Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

With these carbs they have over 1 turn setting on each, but the x-torq engines seem to throw a lot of fuel into the engine Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

With French postal service and Royal Mail I'd guess at 5-7 weeks Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yes, but you're both in France, so getting rid of them there won't make a jot of difference to the British population, unless NLJ has mailed them over here. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

No, as the av are handles only, and there is no impulse hose, the carb to intake is solid and the impulse is built into it Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Climb and leaf blower? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Don't forget to check the oil pump! If the diaphragm has split on that (or the pipe) that will cause an air leak! Other things to check are the crank-lock plug (may be loose), decomp valve and spring arm, the bottom of the carb where the gauze is for the fuel, check the plastic inlet thing for cracks. If all those are ok then it's either the seals, crank gasket, cylinder gasket, one of 3 (or 4 if you have the heat shield for the carb) carb to intake gaskets, muffler gasket (if you have the older, non-metal type), the bolts on the muffler, or at very worst, the crankcase has slid out of alignment! If it's the crank seals then you will need to check the crank bearing cages, washers, c clips, big and little end bearings. Nice checklist for you Simon Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

660, then get a dual port muffler, it goes without saying! It's only about 1.5 horses behind an 880 then! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Most definitely, much easier with a clutch removal tool but fitting springs and the c-shaped springs husky seem to use on the 50cc saws. In fact, anything involving a spring on a husky will require cursing Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

The clutch has to be removed prior to swearing at the new springs as you try to fit them Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I'd say a husky 390xp or an ms660, that way you have a full choice of 18-36" bars on both (I'm not particularly enthusiastic about the 395xp, being as the 390 is so close in power) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I would imagine it's only a light seize, pistons for the 575/576 are readily available on eBay, if the seller refunds you a few quid, just fix it Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Didn't know about this, was only a few miles from where I was working today... Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

If it's happened with more than one band, it sounds like a misformed or warped casing, you need a new clutch cover, which can be bought as just the white plastic, and transfer all the internals over Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Have you cleaned the carb? I've had it before where the metering needle is held open and it just floods the saw Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
