Husky reckon a single battery charge equates to about one tank of fuel.... a single 4.0amp hour 36v battery is currently about £175inc vat. So on that basis the battery would have payed for itself within 35 gallons of petrol (at £5 per gallon). I've not counted how many fills I get out of my fuel can?... with a Husky 550xpg. Can someone help finish my maths?.... cheers, steve

Last couple of days we've had snow, sleet, hail, rain, cloud, bitterly cold wind and warm breeze.... and full sun. That was in Newcastle Emlyn (West Wales). I also had my heated handles switched on and very lovely they were too cheers, steve
-
Damn to Arbtalk!!.... distracted me and resulted in my breakfast getting burnt (it was a chocolate croissant) :thumbdown: cheers, steve

It's a quadruple edged sword: cheap oil seed rape oil in our saws = more oil seed rape fields + even more monoculture crop x billions of angry bees wanting to sting us. ....or maybe we should cut down our oldest forests for Palm Oil plantations. cheers, Steve

They've done loads of stuff - most isn't even on their website. Our barn is waney clad with larch so think you may be thinking of another project. I think a lot of guests would be well up for paying to stay in a cabin that is proper rustic. cheers, steve

I wouldn't want to clean the glass on the first or the second one. And all that nasty looking timber walling needs covering in some Welsh pebble dash. cheers, steve

Charlie & Merrick (MC Rustics) helped build our barn (agriçultural) - they're lovely chaps & did an awesome job. Cheers, steve

Hi Jon, that's a good plan. I've noticed the Husky oil being thinner than the Oregon.... certainly pours easier. Please pop a thread on Arbtalk when you start selling it.... cheers, Steve

Didn't you need to submit drawings with your application? cheers, steve

Lovely jubbly. Thanks for the explanation. Were they invented in Israel? Cheers, Steve

Oh, yes, you are right.... they are £17.50 for one satchet. That's the kind of mistake I make first thing in the morning. I may have got distracted by the chocolate croissant crumbling over my lap! I have indeed young man. I saved myself a few pennies too - by washing them out. Now I'm confused!! Quite a few have given a thumbs up to the Israeli bandages and you are saying to go for an impregnated bandage. Is similar to a Stihl vs Husky moment?! cheers, steve

I was just perusing chainsaw stuff and glanced upon this.... thought it would be sensible to get a few satchets to leave in my gear bag or attach to the fuel can. £15 seems a reasonable price for a few satchels: Celox blood clotting granules - Chainsaw Specialists Does it have a limited shelf life/ any other thoughts?... cheers, steve

I'm currently on a 25 litre tub of Husqvarna chain oil (it was on offer). It's very good quality oil, much better than the Oregon. cheers, Steve

Have you considered having Kune Kune pigs for grazing your grass? Unlike sheep they won't eat your orchard trees.... Kunekune Pigs - DaleHouseFarm.com cheers, Steve
-
Yep thankyou... that's the one: cheers, steve
-
Thats a lovely heartwarming video. 11/10 What's that strange curling leaf? Good share Murray. cheers, Steve
-
That's not something I've thought about 'til now. Probably because I use a proper saw. cheers, steve
-
I'm starting to see the appeal of having a battery saw (with plenty of spare batteries) for small felling and snedding.... alongside a bigger saw running Aspen. cheers, steve
-
Pants? .... it may be a hybrid.... a Turkey oak cross pollinated with another oak. Not nescesarily pants but possibly pants. It may also not be pants at all. Looks like it has a good section of heartwood...that's in comparison to a few genuine Turkey oaks that's I've felled / with very little heartwood (hairy buds are probably the best way to find out if it's genuine Turkey oak). cheers, Steve
-
Maybe it knows something that the others don't. hmmm cheers, steve
-
I may be wrong (often am) but isn't it advised to flip the bar after every day's work (or thereabouts)? cheers, steve
-
That's excellent news! In all honesty I thought it was gone for good, (or should I say, gone for bad). Cheers, steve
-
Were you using a Piranha chain?.... I had one hear the bar up the same colour along the edge, but it didn't wear anything like that!! cheers, steve
-
Haha! Yeah that is so true. cheers, steve

If he's grumpy (and young) now... what's he gonna be like when he's old? cheers, steve
