I'm struggling to understand the meaning of "tasty" in this post

Where did you hear this have you got a link or a quote ? I've read all Husqvarna's stuff and can't find anything about limited life being part of their design plan. It sounds like an internet fact like I've heard they are designed to last a million years but I don't know how true that is either. Has anybody got any facts on what percentage of the saws are failing and what it is down to ? I'm enjoying reading what is happening in the saw world and what is the flavour of the month, Echo and Dolmar at present I think as Stihl have made the 261 that eats bearings and Husqvarna 560xp just stops working. You can't just put a rumour out there and ask people to disprove it without offering any facts to support it. I think they have adopted a Windows style plan where they release the saw and let the user beta test it. How can they unless they work for Husqvarna or were part of the design team ?

Why would you put fish fingers through the chipper, potatoes yes ? We used to do a few Laurel hedges when I was a lad on the council gardens and we just used to take the stuff back to the depot and dump it on a heap to degrade. That was in the olden days when you could still burn stuff though. Nobody ever suffered any ill effects that I can remember.

The earth is not at the same distance from the sun all the time as it is on an elliptical orbit so when we are further away it will be cooler. I tested this hypothesis by sitting further away from the fire and it works.

I'm 63 now and there's a rookery here where we used to climb up to the nests when I was a kid. We used to take 6" nails to get up to the bottom branches and knock them in with a brick, sorry if anyone ever gets the job of taking them down. I don't know if it's an illusion but they look taller now than they used to then.

I'll help you out here, it says Red Line synthetic oil Mine is something I made and it amuses me. -
That's got to be worth an extra 6p a litre

I had that on my 135 and it was the rubber not seated properly where it sits in the metal cover under the bar. It was creased and I just undid the cover and straightened it out and it worked fine after.

Anything coming into contact with oil or fuel should be something suitable like Viton.

That's how it works in my head as well thanks for confirming it.

Can you explain as I have read this and don't see how it works ? If a saw is doing 13,000 rpm the chain is travelling at the same speed no matter what length it is. The sprocket size is the deciding factor isn't it ? The individual cutters will be coming round more often as there are less of them but they will still be at the same speed won't they ? I'm trying to get my head round this so don't laugh at me.

Sympathies to you, there are a lot of nerves in finger ends. Hope you recover quickly and well.

I has got a new chain

All done from a moop (mobile overhead operating platform) Nice video and strange the tree not being hollow at the bottom I thought. Is that a common thing ?

I doubt if you'd get them down the barrel

What's it made of ? 10 bar sounds a lot, 150 psi in what looks like some plastic waste pipe

Dwyle flonking and bog snorkelling but mostly reading and cycling at the moment (not at the same time though)

It's to allow for the extra time cleaning down the chipper

Ask if you can use the toilet next time It's like a xylophone isn't it ?

You can't run through a campsite you can only ran because it's past tents.
