Well I like it for the right job, it's a unique thing that lets you use a saw on small stuff that's too big for a normal hedge cutter... it's basically a chainsaw hedge cutter.. The biggest and only negative thing I can say about this attachment is that if you fit it to a big saw you're arms very quickly get tired flailing it about due to the weight. Anyway it's as cheap as chips and on the right job it's just the thingie 👍

I don't disagree any of the comments re tractor and flail, but this underrated simple chainsaw attachment is much better than anyone would expect when dealing with this sort of job if it's just in a garden where a hedge has got out of out of hand. Ideally from personal experience it works best with the longest bar on the smallest, lightest saw and when used properly it reduces the arisings to not much more than a mulch but easily rakeable and compact enough to be collected without handling the cuttings. If I remember correctly mine is 14" but if I were buying it again I'd go for the longest one at 20"... in my case I've mostly used it for controlling Goat Willow which is very fast growing and invasive, also Rhodies.. but it's a great tool to have at your disposal when you need to get through a thicket of overgrown shyte, so I just have a dedicated drilled bar with the 'clip and trim' fitted for my smallest lightest saw... it's an ideal tool for stuff that's just too big for a hedge cutter👍 If you don't have a tractor. You searched for clip+and+trim+ - Chainsawbars WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK

I've found this stuff to be very good and it's oil based unlike most of the other options today, in fact all the Barrettine Premium range are my go to treatments these days for outside wood. It claims to be fade resistant but as I've always used one or other of their coloured wood preservers as a base coat I can't vouch for how much UV protection it provides in reality. Anyway free delivery over £60 and a very quick service👍 They also do just about every other brand available should something else be preferred.

All of your pics are great, thanks.

I take your point and agree with you for anyone who runs just a couple of saws, but there will be a lot of folk like myself who have many 2 and 4 stroke engines and using Alkylate for the whole fleet would not be financially viable just as draining down fuel systems after every use would be totally impractical. I need to go to a machine that's not been used in a while [ often a long while ] and know that it will run as it did when last put away... I'm talking about everything that has an IC engine, cement mixer / whacker / quadbike / outboard /. winch / motor bike that doesn't get much use, and on and on.. I'd say that after using fuel stabiliser for at least 10 years that it definitely works, at least the 2 that I've used, Ethanol shield and Briggs and Stratton Fuel fit both of which I'd have to say exceed the claims made on the bottle in respect of how long they keep the fuel usable. Diesel engines also need protected from their fuel if not used regularly as was discussed on another thread recently. What I think is frankly insane is that fuels now seem to be deliberately designed to harm engines, which was never the case before. And from the point of view of someone who's made a lot of money repairing these machines I could only imagine the immense cost of Ethanol damage on a global scale. Anyway I'll be pulling out my rotovator in a few weeks and I'm confident that it'll start with the fuel that's in it after being not used for a couple of years. Cheers.

Hi, Stihl HP super has fuel stabiliser as part of it.. but I add the recommended amount of ' Ethanol Shield ' as I have done for years just to be sure, I've never had any probs. In particular where I am many of the engines I work on are outboard motors rather than saws so moisture related Ethanol problems are more prevalent / severe / catastrophic, so I just never trust pump fuel regardless what is claimed by the supplier.

me too..

My long since gone canine friend ' Cherry ' used to love going out for a bike ride just like that👍

Aye, I watched that myself a while back.. Great to see how it should be done👍

Ok, so you don't think that the divisive agenda that seems to be getting worse every day is in any way being pushed.. fair enough. And you don't think that the stated aims of would be globalists are a thing at all, and find it comical that anyone should in any way question anything that their government might try to foist upon them. In my defence of ' shoehorned mathematics ' I have used that number sequence in a few instances as a reference to the common sense of working in harmony nature as opposed to ignoring it. Obviously you know this as you did start the ' veggies ' thread. You're likely just having a go at me as you have done before because of my differing views to yours over the last few years of nonsense that puts us on different sides of a very high fence.... but all the same I don't remember ever throwing any personal insults at you.... life's too feckin short. Like I said, cheers anyway.

So what's ridiculous about how nature functions, and why would you even question this basic knowledge ? Unless of course you have a different explanation...

These look like a good solution, up here in the wet North West I like all wooden things to be at least a foot or even better 18" off the ground, and as you say an over hanging roof really helps👍

Hey, I get it that you really like to ridicule anyone that you can.. good for you... keep it up, but I've got no interest in arguing the toss with you about long established scientific fact. Isn't it curious that in your everyday job you're nose to nose with nature and yet you don't seem to understand the most elementary aspect of all around you... and yes the Broccoli posted by someone else is a perfect visual demonstration of Phi, or the Golden ratio, as is a pine cone. This is not new, it certainly isn't anything that I came up with, it's how all of life is designed and has been known for millennia as the sacred geometry that perfectly describes ALL of nature, but for some reason🙄 it's not taught today so is forgotten by most. Slagging off myself or anyone else who may try to communicate the true nature of nature doesn't really show you in a good light, but I guess you think you can get a cheap laugh out of it. This wee 10 minute video is a good introduction to seeing all of what's around you in a different way... if you can be bothered to watch it, cheers anyway.

+1 for Sungold, also Gardiners delight and Ailsa Craig usually do well for me and although last year was very poor hopefully '23 will be better.👍

Well, to me the whole lot of it is just a distraction, a plan { soap opera.. real life and death Truman show} displaying absolutely a total disregard for human suffering and the desecration of the biosphere in the scramble for digital domination of everything at any expense... The whole of todays tech that most everyone totally relies on is based on mathematics that are completely at odds and counter intuitive to all of nature, it will never work out in our favour. How's it going to end ? I would expect, badly. Disagree if you likes... I'll stick🙂

Hi, looking at the end of the thread in your pic I'd say it's a RH thread so unscrew counter clock.. although I've not worked on one of these so can't say anything more but the nut does look odd... I suppose if you can get a good fitting spanner on it and give it a sharp chap it might budge.

It was just my attempt at late night humour, cheers.

Hey, are you plagiarising me... I thought I'd already said that.. several times🤣....🙄

Surely all these links to a new rash of MSM's ' latest ' take on their OWN bullshit story can be really nothing but intentional and depends fully on the short memory of the masses... Is Hancock's prominent reappearance at this time a random occurence, most likely not.. after all it's the same MSM controlled by the same bought and paid for scum that's putting out the stories to suit whatever the agenda is. Just like some nasty person getting written in and out of a soap script, ad nauseam. To me newspapers have loads of great uses though.. cleaning windows, starting fires, soaking up oil, paper mache, masking off things, wrapping up broken glass and wiping yer arse when caught without bog roll.... I'm sure I've missed a lot of others😁 There's never really been any point in reading them if you want truthful genuine information👎

Welcome to Arbtalk.. and aye, they like to get us all arguing over invisible stuff don't they🙄

And the guy lost his saw by the look of that.

I'm absolutely no expert on the subject, but I believe that it's usp is that if the power goes out it cools down and becomes safe as opposed to a lack of cooling water causing melting down and getting like ****************u shima + no serious radioactive waste... but of course no Plutonium.. what a feckin shame.

That's a sound I very much like to hear👍

It's a pity imo that there really is no joined up thinking when it comes to providing sustainable energy for this country which was once at the sharp end of technology. It seems that China are in the process of trialling a Thorium reactor atm, and a few others are at last planning the same... in my opinion that's the route we could easily have taken decades ago if we hadn't had the need to make ourselves a target for nuclear aggression.. which couldn't be more apt in todays world run by assholes. Cheers, 😁
