    Morning all, I guess it might depend on what you want doing, and if we're talikng about the same company. Last year Ground Control carried out an excellent tree survey, including PICUS tests on two Ash trees affected by Inonutus bracket fungus, at our 8 acre Scout Campsite. Couldn't fault the service.

    A PICUS test seemed to work fine for us. It showed we had a tubular Ash tree (50-60% core damage). We've had the crown thinned to reduce the load. Only time will tell! Bosun

    Hi guys (oops sorry, and girls), We had an excellent tree survey done last year at our Scout campsite by a company called "Ground Control". Might be worth talking to them. Assuming of course, you're not treading on their toes. Bosun.

    File size?

    Bosun replied to Bosun's topic in General chat

    Many thanks, Yes, I did mean 5/32" or 4.5mm (tryping never was one of my good points). 5/32" (4.0mm) it is then. Bosun

    Another question for the experts out there. According to the ops manual for my Husqvarna 240, I need a 5/32" / 4.5mm file for the H36 type chain. As the clever ones of you out there will have noticed, 5/32" is 4mm. Which should I use, 5/32" or 4mm? I've tried contacting Husqvarna, but no reply yet. Many thanks, Bosun PS. I hope I don't start another forum war!

    Yes. But to be honest, I was regretting (4 pages later) having asked the question in the first place. Without starting chainsaw world war III, do I assume that the "drop test" will not harm the saw? Using a tyre for the drop test sounds like a good idea, assuming it's representative. Steady gentlemen!

    Good evening, I'm new to this forum, and it seems you guys know what your talking about. The owners manual for my Husqvarna 240 chainsaw tells me to check the inertia brake by letting the tip of the chain fall onto a solid wood block. This seems a bit harsh, what do you guy's think? Is there a less brutal way? How often should I check the inertia brake? I fear damaging the bar and fixing bolts! Many thanks. Bosun
