  1. So something like that can work, provides the trees are suitable and I can find a carpenter to do it
  2. What does everyone think of this? A lady on a Facebook page that my missus is on would like one made, but I am no carpenter! Also there must be rules and regs that apply to installing something like this. And what happens when the wind is blowing the bolts surely pull out. Are there any play equipment installers or treehouse builders on here? I would be happy to pass on your details Thanks will
  3. Reason for painting a saw. It looks good. Just like a husky......
  4. Good point. Pretty sure your not allowed to build a whole tipper body but not sure if this applies to greedy boards or extended sides?
  5. More likely to happen with a tipper than a non tipper as you shovel out fresh chip every load with a non tipper but only shovel out the corners of tippers once in a while, stinking orrible job
  6. Hi All who have contributed to this thread. I have got as far as I can with this saw, so far I found a clutch cover, had the piston machined fitted it all back together pulled it over and it's fired but not ran. So I put a new carb kit in and now only fires if I pour petrol down the plug hole. I've got to the end of my skill level now so I'm going to pm you this afternoon spud cod it's nearly there but not quite
  7. Thanks David, crown is nice and healthy at the moment but I will monitor it and park my truck away on a windy night
  8. The one feed roller on the 1000 lets it down. Good machine otherwise. The BC1200 on the other hand has a hydraulic crunch top roller and although a slightly bigger machine as well it's 100 times better. It's my all time favourite chipper
  9. Similar to mine. Took them off yesterday but I'll put pics on soon as
  10. Piptoporous betulinus ? And this I think is pholiota squarrosa. This last one is on the base of a whitebeam that my kids have a rope swing on and I park my car and my truck underneath. The arbtalk fungi app says can cause brittle fracture. Should I be worried? Would like to let the fungi grow on to get more photos but the kids keep picking them? Tree looks healthy enough to me but I will keep an eye on it
  11. Nice pictures David. Here's mine from today with guesses as to what they are
  12. I've just read the comments on the treebay post. Disgusting! Can't people like this be removed from the group?
  13. Yea but now the days are shorter nights are longer you got more time to mend the husqvarna
  14. You have to cradle it. Put 2 slings on the branch to lower away from each other so it will balance when it is cut and clip them both to the end of the rigging line. I'm sure some one will have some pics or drawings of it and explain it better than i
  15. I wake up every morning with numb or tingly hands it's never bothered me till I read this thread, I always thought its cos I sleep on my arms but sometimes they even go when I'm lying on my back.
  16. Hi mate I'm off work at the moment and my saw is there so can't get it for a couple days so will put pics on then
  17. If you have just nicked them could you repair them with silicone or take them to a cobblers? I wore my airstreams til the soles wore through
  18. Do you want me to send you some pictures? Also I think I have a few spares for a 260 knocking about as well, come to think of it it's an 026 actually
  19. I know someone who tried to clear the outlet on a Chinese chipper shredder put their hand up to far and the shredder blade trimmed the end of the finger
  20. Nice pics mate and always fun to dismantle a big fir but why couldn't you fell it?
  21. If I get the job I'll have a large holly to mill soon, anyone interested in the boards? If so what size?
  22. Got a 260 that works but- needs new clutch springs, the four bolts that hold the front handle come loose all the time, needs a fuel tank breather, think that's it! Part from that it's fine!
  23. Twist caps aren't bad when you work them out, push down hard, twist hard and on they go. Sometimes a little wd40 helps
  24. Does look similar thanks
  25. I thought it may be this Didn't see any seeds on it which was a pity
