  1. Id stick with the mains saw but never have being bothered by the cable...... Id like a MSA300 just to play with but don't think it would be any advantage....for such cost Do you have a pole saw would be nice to have a battery one to lop branches alongside the ms261 if you are trimming the branches/trees on hedgelines
  2. Is sugar beet seen as a viable crop without neonicotides im wondering..... Growing sugar beets without neonicotinoids? | Low Impact Farming WWW.LOW-IMPACT-FARMING.INFO I think i remember Adam on countryfile saying OSR was very hard without so he was going stop growing it or somesuch....?
  3. Always fancied a traditional splitting axe to see how they perform v a maul but they seem very rare v the felling axes. Council tools do one that looks to be a very similar profiled 5lbs head: 5 lbs. SB Splitting Axe; 36 in. Straight Wooden Handle - Council Tool COUNCILTOOL.COM 5 lbs. Single bit splitting axe with a 36 in. straight wooden handle.
  4. I don't get the appeal as they seem for the very small niche between a silky /loppers and the smaller battery topper saws. Since I got a 18v makita, I have not use the silky as much. I had a quick play with an aliexpress version a fews ys ago. The chains looked very tiny thus fiddly to sharpen and no oiler i think recall? Thoose cordless secateurs that can cut say 40mm look very useful and you can also get them fitted on poles. Think you have to be very mindful of fingers with theese smaller one hand tools due to them being so useful to cut and hold- not a good practice safety wise....

  10. I only managed 5 seconds then skimmed though to the end I think the gist of it was it crosscuts as fast as the ms261 they suggest at the end to purchase it from there website as a "suitable chainsaw for pros". But no info on durability spare parts costs & availibility, the extra weight, the run time of 1 battery versus a full tank of petrol etc. Im guessing if cutting 50cc saw suited diamater stuff the battery won't last very long at all? 17 minutes run time....mentioned in comments So for 1hrs cutting you would need 3 AP500s So about £1000 worth of batteries which take 1hr approx each to re-charge so having 2 chargers might be best .....if you could charge on site.
  11. Ive never got the slasher to cut as impressively as in this classic vid for example I reckon scythe with a ditch blade would be the tool for the job if going down the hand tool root over a slasher Reasoning is blade is at a the right angle offset for cutting the stems compared to the handle unlike with a slasher....

    I find it mildly depressing - the craze to plant willow structures in schools, yet it seems beyond the pale for teachers and kids to maintain them hence the paying of ground maintance people to trim theese willow tunnels. I quoted the council to do one once they never replied.... Was planning to do it proper weaving in & tying down the whips etc not just trim off all the new growth.... quite time consuming for larger structures. I reckoned 2 days work as was a long tunnel.... Wouldn't take a whole classroom of kids long maybe its a H&S thing ?
  13. I tried a slash hook and loppers few times is pretty ineffective against a dense 10ft high bramble mass Even when you manage to cut all stems which is difficult.... u still have a mass of cut bramble to deal with - best is to chuck them on a bonfire. The brushcutter mulch head reduces such volume. The dead bramble under storey can also burn well in situ especially with a back pack leaf blower assitance or the right wind direction but this is not advisable as you can quickly get an impressively fun inferno! 😉 0.5h is 1.2 acres not that a small an area too lop..... OP has gone i think so will always be a mystery what has happenned to this negelected paddock......
