  1. Yeah its a rebranded dolmar 420sc So comes in orange or blue depending on country: https://www.svh24.de/dolmar-38cm-benzin-kettensaege-3-0-ps-414038?campaign=pdm/idealo&utm_source=idealoDE&utm_medium=preissuchmaschine&utm_campaign=idealoDE I think shavey on here sells dolmar. I bought mine from germany using google translate.
  2. https://www.radmoretucker.co.uk/shop/garden-machinery/chainsaws-tree-care/petrol-chainsaws/makita-ea4300f45c-petrol-chainsaw-18/ I have^ Alot more saw than a 171 which I have also used. 2.2kw v 1.3kw Being ordering my spares from germany though which might be problem after brexit .
  3. Didn't think mculloch made anything decent any more?
  4. Anyone use them? Alot of clearance by consevation volunteers locally of rhody but stumps just reprout is not sprayed. Thinking they should get on of theese as alot of rhody fairly small shallow rooted I think if would work well on alot of it. This one looks the best designed.
  5. Weather looks abit cycl(e)onic
  6. Time for farmers to do all there hedge cutting the day before ?
  7. Its selling in Denmark https://rudersdalhaveogpark.com/shop/makita-ea3700t35b-617p.html
  8. What happened to that new 4 stroke one the dolmar 500v? Nice translation ? https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://www.ingenieur.de/technik/fachbereiche/antriebstechnik/neue-konzepte-kleinen-stinkern-saubermaenner/&prev=search
  9. If for amenity why not just leave majority of the birch too regen. Maybe just clear some paths to walk along round site. If volunteers want oaks etc they can create mini clearings along side of the paths for oaks etc. Oaks are fast growing would soon hold there own against birch after a few yrs of locally clearing round each tree......
  10. Its says alder on wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clog_(British) This guy uses alder: http://www.treforowenclogmaker.co.uk/
  11. Anyone used this thing? https://www.ezelap.co.uk/tools/Chainsaw-Sharpeners.html
  12. I'd do it for wood if I was local. Say 50% of the wood
  13. £3500 to £10,000 to cut one tree down? ?
  14. Used for canal lock gates also apprently
  15. Very rot resitant if kept wet apparently, venice built on alder pillings & was used for water pipes... http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/46506 Roman alder water pipes still in good nick? Also clogs (Wet all time walking in mud)..... But leave a stack of alder out in the woods they rot fast so odd that?
  16. Whats happing to all the ash trees where you are.? Locally alot of mature hegde row trees are effected,a few are completely dead, loads are half dead, a few still look healthy. Not seen any felled even the many 100% dead ones over roads. They will start dropping large branches soon. Seems a shame all that firewood is going to waste, on the other hand a suppose all the standing dead wood is good habitat. Countryside is going to look very barren with no trees left apart from the odd sycamore as i'd say ash was over 80% of the hedge trees round here. Its still not the same after all the elms dissapered from the hegdes, when/if all ash goes won't be many trees at all left in large areas of farm land. Maybe there needs to be some goverment scheme for restocking hegderow trees, though plantin in hegdes is abit tricky?
  17. New northern ireland Secretary https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/07/karen-bradley-admits-not-understanding-northern-irish-politics Perfect person for the job? ? Don't get how you can be an MP & that ignorant?
  18. Not all the amazon crazy prices are fake bought some bike tyres before under 50% price listed & anywhere else & the were posted. I don't understand what the deal is with the crazy low prices though but the tyre listing was up for months. This is the name/info of the crazy cheap fake 550XP seller which is odd: Some German-Turkish Islamic scholar https://www.amazon.co.uk/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00IA1QBWW&isAmazonFulfilled=0&isCBA=&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&orderID=&seller=AT7ZJJE3OAKOJ&tab=&vasStoreID= https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bülent_Uçar
  19. Dolmar 420sc was around same price for awhile ago before on amazon not such massive a bargin but still loads cheaper than anywhere else: https://www.idealo.co.uk/compare/912801/dolmar-ps-420-sc.html also Jonsered was a bargin now out of stock... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jonsered-2250S-Petrol-Chainsaw-Semi-Professional/dp/B077R8RHX5/ref=sr_1_4?s=outdoors&ie=UTF8&qid=1536356460&sr=1-4&keywords=jonsered
  20. Cutting/felling/snedding doesn't take very long but clearing /tidying brash takes ages., least birch brash stacks easy.
  21. £223.78 ? & free postage from germany. Zero seller feedback.
  22. How about an AI for tree ident you upload a picture and in compares it to a database of existing images online of different species. Surely that wouldn't be too hard?
  23. Wouldn't surprise me if some of the private jobs they do are priced cheap for friends relatives people in other council departments etc and equipment used is trashed/uncared for because they can just buy another one......
  24. Did any of thoose willow biomass schemes ever get planted on a large commercial scale and being economically viable etc....
  25. But doesn't it just cycle back to the soil when the wood rots/leaves fall off every autum so whats the advantage? Unless wood/biomass is harvested but then what do you do with it?
