  1. Shortage of UK foresters prompts government to offer free courses | Trees and forests | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Ministers hope training in range of forestry skills will help to meet tree-planting and other climate goals
  2. Is says free UK shipping but yeah brexit is a pita
  3. Why use sand are popular fussy about drainage? I don't think they are?
  4. Chainsaw Makita EA3600F40B 35,2 cm³ EMMETISTORE.COM Chainsaw Makita EA3600F40B 35,2 cm³ It has an easy and fast start with the Easy Start. Chain brake for an instant chain... The ea3600 model has less vibes less weight than the ea3500 & is not that to much more pricey. Im kind of tempted to get one while there still available.... Not sure all the build differences with regards to quality between the ea3500 ans ea600 but you can compare the spec on the makita USA site GAS CHAIN SAWS | MAKITA WWW.MAKITATOOLS.COM Makita USA: The Leader In Cordless with 18V LXT Lithium-Ion. The best in class for cordless power tool technology. A leader... Reading the yank forums ea3600 seems well regarded.... I got a mak ea4300 from germany as was cheaper a few yrs back so ordering from italy should be ok?
  5. Being uncomfortable may increase the chance of accidents happening
  6. Cadaver dogs can be trained to find bodies underwater.
  7. Could do with some thorn protection over sleeves knackered my jacket sleeves up on brambles.
  8. E85 from bioethanol and not taxed https://fr-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/E85_(carburant)?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc
  9. Sounds impossible think its just a popular hybrid thats seems aimed at biomass and agroforestry not anything to do with willow? Populus × interamericana https://nl-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Zwarte_balsemhybride?_x_tr_sl=nl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc EDIT see page 29 for some info on Beaupre there are also some pictures https://cdn.forestresearch.gov.uk/1990/03/fcbu092.pdf
  10. Not much movement on the front lines recently supposedly gonna be a new russian offensives planned to mark the the 1yr since the start.
  11. msa300 is abit of a novelty i reckon Alot heavier than the ms261 and you will get through batteries fast if you cut much of the bigger stuff that the saw is designed for so you will need a few. So a big investment for something that in many ways in less all round useful than the ms261. I'd say better getting the ms261 & if you want a stihl battery one get the msa220 in addition .
  12. If you don't already have some decent suitable tools and do decide to keep them pruned yourself , I recommend you consider getting some decent quality secateurs a pruning saw and some bypass loppers then you will have all the tools you need to maintain them. Theese are good quality brands Okatsune secateurs silky or samurai saws bacho loppers Trees look low enough now that no ladders needed..
  13. Processing timber as in repeated crosscutting decent diameter logs etc is probably what battery saws are least suited for.
  14. Ms241 550xp CS-4310SX There are smaller pro saws from echo and stihl (like the the toppers but with rear handles) but id say not suited to firewood imo unless its alot of small diameter coppice. EDIT forgot about the husky 545 but seems abit pointless imo as same price virtually as a 550xp
  15. I found one on ebay as I fancied one a while back. I never bought it in the end as spray paint does the same job...... Its not stihl but looks near the same.... George Barnsley, Sheffield, Rubber Tapping Tool, Timber Scribe,Old Stock, Unused WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Could also be used as a timber scribe.
  16. For my push bike chain I have a little gauge.
  17. So cost in Wales is near double compared to the rest of the country?
  18. Apparently a screen is cheaper to make than the all the buttons etc or something. I think i read an article on it thats its down to cost cutting? Anyways buttons are better: Buttons beat touchscreens in cars, and now there’s data to prove it ARSTECHNICA.COM Swedish publication Vi Bilägare quantified the problem with new tests.
  19. Its lighter & maybe has better quality bits & bobs than the other homeowner saws dunno if that justifies the extra price & shame about the vibration being more. Piston skirt seems to know all there is to know about echos and seemed to rate it. Echo CS 3510 | Arborist, Chainsaw & Tree Work Forum WWW.ARBORISTSITE.COM Anyone using this new model Echo 3510 ? What are your opinions ? I'm thinking of getting one but not many reviews...
  20. A quick google brought up the argos manual https://www.argos-support.co.uk/instruction-manual/3054716-sovereign-1800w-chainsaw.pdf From the manual: That oregon chain shold be fine. I think it might be some issue with either the chain tensioner or oiler not working maybe as what else is there? Also a blunt chain that overheats perhaps..... 91PJ051X
  21. I don't understand why they are selling it it so cheap?
  22. Echo CS-3510ES/CS-3510AC? Very good power to weight. Unsure about the merits of ES starter systems or AC versions but might be a bonus if it works well? Can't find the data on vibes or chain speed? - but as its a new model should be low vibes looks good.
