From what I was told when doing my ticket you'll get more out of the cs41 once you've got a bit of climbing experience. Tucky

Bear in mind there is a special level of anger and a complete accompanying vocabulary for top handles which don't start and run right when your in an uncomfortable cutting position mid job...... Tucky

Hi Paul I'm afraid I can't answer your questions but I wanted to wish you well with your recovery.keep positive mate. Tucky

I like the Yale fire rope as its much more visable than the green and white version I had before. As for harnesses I found the butterfly cut me in half and left bruises no matter how I adjusted it, tried a mates treemotion and had to buy one, expensive yes but worth it as I climb so much free'er and don't hurt afterwards.

Not to mention the fact it's hard enough to give conifer away ready cut Tucky

Hey guys I've got a set of goretex golf waterproofs, the jacket is cut short enough to make it just about bare able with a harness and they allow pretty good movement. Wouldn't like to test it's thorn proof qualities tho. Cheers Tucky

If ever a thread managed to show the best and the worst of arbtalk I think this is it. Tucky -
Hi John It was an 8kw multifuel boiler stove, had it running 5 rads and it still used to take the best part of a day to get the system nicely hot on just wood ( seasoned logs checked with a meter), only thing it would work really well was pallets or coal, my hunch is they make better coal stoves than pure wood stoves. We had to put an extra flue damper in just to stop most of the heat going up the chimney and give the boiler a chance to get hot. And finally I'd have had more chance of a night with Kylie than of keeping that thing lit all night. I have no axe to grind here just saying it how I found it. Tucky

I'm a Charnwood fan, on my second now (house move not worn out) and I can't fault it. The one I'd avoid like the plague is dunsley had one of their boiler stoves and it was shocking. Cheers Tucky

What did you do treequip? Mostly it's a total lack of throttle response and a generally gutless feel. Obviously hard 'tinkering' is a last resort Tucky

I did try search stubby but my iPhone doesn't like the search function( keeps losing the keypad) thanks tho it's good to know I'm on the right track, treequip as stubby correctly guessed if it was my money it would have gone elsewhere, I'm gonna square any mods with my line manager first but tbh it's shockingly useless as it is ( had a 200t before until some scum relieved us of it) Tucky

Hey guys Due to the company I work for employing the 'Peter principle ' of management, dispite my repeated requests for another brand my shiny new climbing saw is the (in) famous ms201. So since I'm stuck with this marvel of modern engineering I've been looking into how to improve it. The best guide I've found is an American site which suggests drilling the exhaust, removing a limiter rod from the carb and then filling the key to advance the timing a few degree's. Now the increases look very impressive particularly the throttle response but I've also noticed many American loggers seem to mod their work saws more than we do over here. So basically I'm asking what people have done to theirs to give a good solid work saw that will last more than ten mins. Cheers Tucky

The line about steers from Texas kills me Tucky

You best refit the arial mate or the range won't be as good with the remote control... Tucky

I'm another convert bought them after spending an hour trying to get three bits of thorn out of my hands. I did offer to order my workmate some as well but he refused so I get the added bonus of watching him wince every time a thorn goes through his gloves. Cheers Tucky

Brasher four season are really good, it's certainly not time to break them out yet which says something Tucky

They are ace, tho getting up without leaning on something requires Olympic gymnastics. You can get some serious speed on them to. Tucky

I've got a set of power risers (the ones you can run and bounce etc), keep looking at them and thinking they would be ace for both crown lifts and ceiling painting... Tucky

Sainsburys sell the Stanley ones....I bought one about a month ago and it's brilliant. Tucky

You'll certainly not get many better days than today mate. Congratulations to you both Tucky

Damit Bren I lost about two hours drooling over the site that stoves on. It's like the decerning gentlemans gadget porn site... Tucky

I'm intrigued, how successful is this policy? Cheers Tucky

Hey guys Firstly thanks for all the replies it's made fascinating reading.I can certainly see now why it's not a commonly done practice and I don't think I'll be trying to change that. I do love a challenge but at the end of the day it's got to become a tool for work so reliability is a major factor, it's all well and good proving something can be done but for the outlay involved it would need to be more than that. Thanks Tucky
