  1. Step cuts....

     

    Freefall cut: undercut first then top cut either towards the trunk (inboard) or towards the tips (outboard)

     

    Handheld cut: top cut first then bottom cut towards the tip (or side to side as already stated.

     

    Should you learn and then forget how to do a proper handheld step cut, you risk spending the rest of your tree cutting career looking a bit of a dweeb :-)

     

     

    No pressure then fella ;-)

  4. Today couldn't have gone any worse so I'll cut to the chase, it turns out my wife doesn't want any future with me. I've not experienced feeling like this before, I cave caved in tonight and broken down, I've spewed time after time tonight and feel physically drained. On top of all this I am down sizing the business to try and give me some free time and I am having to move house. Jesus can my life get any worse

     

     

    I feel for you fella, was in your exact postition couple years ago when the x did me over and left with a "mate" and my daughter was only jus 2. It is a very dark tunnel that you will go down and there will seem to be no light. Your world will turn upside down and u wont no where to turn other then to the JD like me. However, time IS a great healer believe it or not and once youve broke through that dark tunnel and step out into the sunshine with support of your friends an family and the love from your kid, your life will be on top form like nothing before and youll wonder y you were ever so down. Believe me. Good luck chap. If u ever need to chat. :-)

  8. Ive got a 200t, its been playing up for a while, chain wont stop spinning when engine is running,all the clutch springs are ok and i dont want to mess around with the LA screw, apply chain break and it dies out.

    Leave it to idle and it dies out. Cant see no cracks anywhere but chain oil seems to leak from it. Other then that when your on the trigger its brill. Im not good at mechanical fixing stuff like this, so going to buy a new husky. How much would be a reasonable price for my 200t? Couple of hundered? Let me no team

  9. Our apprentice was bought one by his uncle. I didn't want to like it either. It would be so easy to ridicule if it wasn't just right. "How much?! Does it comb your hair for that price?!" Etc.

     

    I tried it on and my heart sank. It's lovely. Best helmet I've tried so far. Pfanner really got it right, as usual.
