    If buying new then the st6p with its three year warrantee all day. Wouldn't go for an old one of either, but brand new, side by side the forst will run rings around the TW.

    Get back to your plumbing.

    I don't know what sort of fencing you have been involved in but root protection aside met posts are purest dogshit and do not last as long as a decent 4" post that has been properly installed. Also believe the OP said concrete posts they will lean all over the shop on met posts.

    Let me know when you need someone to take away those ported saws because you are finished with them guv'nor 😁

    I use an st8, TR8, and ST6p weekly, recently hired a pretty much brand new st6d, and IMO the ST6p was all over it. Have used Jensen a fair bit as well, solid engineering and basic, but not really keeping up with Forst performance. Do Forst have the odd issue? yes, who doesn't, + they are very fast to sort problems.

    Some will slate them/hate them. They do make the saw bulkier for storage/snedding, but are nice for climbing, and a good excuse not to have to cut stumps too low. Just sell the idea of grinding it out to the client instead.

    Surely sheep can be kept in/out with a 'leccy fence?

    From the back, towards the hinge, from slightly higher and at a 45 degree angle downwards. Sometimes called a dogtooth cut due to the small angled bit left. Continuing out to the back with the bore cut is ok sometimes, but runs a risk of the butt taking the saw with it as it goes if it snaps out suddenly.

    Discipline was shot, had to disband the regiment!

    I have had a couple of saws ported by Spud, as have many others on here, and can vouch for the quality of his work and his excellent communication and customer service.

    Bit further away but acacia plant in Henfield keep their kit up together.

    Would it be any good for cleft fencing? how bendy is it?

    Get a hitch welded to the back of an old 3 in 1 bucket works well too.

    I bought one about 3 months ago, don't know if its a new version or not but seems ok

    Under GDPR regs you can ask them to not contact you again. I have used Forst fairly extensively, have seen a few build issues but then have seen similar on all sorts of machinery. Don't understand the hate tbh. Most hire companies around me run them, hire kit gets hammered, don't think it would be the case if they were made of chocolate.

    Choke a sling, loop it through itself around the tree. Don't fell the supporting tree, there is a fair chance the one it is supporting will land on you.

    Too far from sussex, or I would have popped round and sorted it for beer tokens. Be careful with hung up trees they can throw out some surprises.

    where is it
  21. HuntingHicap
    Currently using the oil push spout for fuel on mine, and so is one of the guys I work with. (its the lighter grey one) seems to be lasting better.
  22. HuntingHicap
    Just let me know when you have finished with that one @Stubby...and the 372..395...:)

    Are you based in the uk? Studs aren't legal on uk roads afaik, we usually have a maximum of about 4 weeks of snow/and or ice in england, not sure about the outer edges mind. I run mud terrains on my 110 as in wet mud a/ts clog up too fast.

    Three back leaning red oaks. Took an hour and a half for all three. Really impressive how quietly capable it is. As one of the guys above said, barely above tickover just hauled them over.

    He picked that one up as a bit of a wreck 10 years ago for 2k. Had to rebuild the (wooden) cab. It was also rolled at some point in the 90s so slightly crabs as it drives along the road. Lovely bit of kit tho.
