    New saw help

    A mains corded saw for firewood at home is good. Cheap to buy and cheap to run less noise & no fumes V petrol lasts for decades versus batteries that evetually degrade esp if crosscutting firwood alot as that would use up batteries rapidily thus alot of recharge cycles. I have a small battery saw never bother using it for firewood much apart from branches 3inch or less as the chain is smaller pitch thus less grabby Use petrol for the bigger diameter logs as faster.
  3. Euc frost resistance varies widely between species i think. Alder is another coppice possibily Osage orange would be a interesting one to grow and wood is suppose to be useful Maclura pomifera - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

    New saw help

    Echo 4920 maybe? Seems the saw with most power within the budget and also light and good anti vibe.
  5. Ash and hickory aren't the same
  6. Why do you want such a big lawn? 🙂 Think id plant some trees or something etc. EDIT just realized it might no be your lawn....
  7. Why not just fell them at base as no green left - won't it look terrible?
  8. Downside will be weight & vibes. Hyundai spec Gross Weight (kg) 15.65 See what you mean about heavy thats abit heavy! 🙂
  9. Lidl has a fisher price looking 40v cordless battery multi tool in atm
  10. Just got a cheap-ish stiga/ (Its near the same mower as the honda mountfields, the spares parts have the same part number codes) Stiga Combi 53 SVQ H Petrol 51cm Self-Propelled Lawn Mower | Charlies WWW.CHARLIES.CO.UK Wanted the side discharge option. On paper a better spec Honda GCVx170 engine with more HP versus than stihls own brand engine....? Was tempted with this GCV 200 honda engined one but chickened out as spares only seem to exist in italy: Ama TRX 531H petrol lawn mower with Honda engine WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Ama TRX 531H petrol lawn mower with Honda engine at the... Imo a 53cm deck needs a decent engine esp if grass is long wet etc many mowers seem to have have engines abit to weak for the width of deck... Oil change after 5hrs then 10hrs didn't realize that that, but seem its what they recommend. Never have done that before with previous mowers.....
  11. Least Puffins have increased recently. No idea why must be more food or less rats?
  12. Looks great. Somehow the van format looks alot more aesthetically pleasing than the versions that have rear windows.
  13. Seems like it...... Vintage Castrol 1 quart Oil Can WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Vintage Castrol 1 quart Oil Can at the best online prices at... But not worth that much.
  14. I think they grow it in europe in plantations.
  15. Some climber brashing /high prunning with a sickle Tree trunks all look so straight it looks unnatural
  16. Some different possiblilites covered in this article: The History and Craft of Dry Stone Walls | Merchant & Makers WWW.MERCHANTANDMAKERS.COM An insight into the history, craft and splendour of dry stone walls, by Gerry Jones, written exclusively for Merchant &...
  17. Sheep holes are fairly common sheep+hole+drystone+wall - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM But why is it so high up the wall? I reckon its for shooting seen similar on a local estate has a wall with a whole row of 20 holes in.
  18. I wonder why they can't get the anti vibe as good on the cheaper saws it seems the main weakness? Is it not just some springs after all asuming its not stlll rubber mounts? Cost or beacause they are based on copies of older designs?
  19. So trees with crown raised? Or a hedge with windows or crenellations trimmed in for views? Or a pleached hedge?
  20. Brazil has e25 must cause some engine issues? Nothing new to me in that video. Though there org imo is one of crazy science deniers on climate change the presentation was actually pretty factual & balanced on bio fuels being "green-washing"
  21. If it was deeper an more extensive area might cause an issue but it probably won't do much harm. Id say up to you what to do. Im not keen on Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora if thats what the plants are is as they can be abit invasive and people dump it on verges. But hard to ID atm.
  22. Its had a new fuel filter. Only have ever adjusted the idle screw as the H & L need some type of special screw driver as mentioned above Technical Data - Makita DCS3500 Repair Manual [Page 3] | ManualsLib WWW.MANUALSLIB.COM Makita DCS3500 Manual Online: Technical Data.

The repair manual^ I see would need to dissemble the whole thing acess the fuel lines on p1 of the from the parts diagram below? http://download.dolmar.com/manuals/16393.pdf
  23. Think I "Fixed" it. I took the the carb off another saw and it now seems like it runs ok, so looks its was some issue with the carb. Still have another (the same model )not fixed. Symptoms are I can't adjust carb to idle right, either the chain turns or or cuts out, & it also cuts out and bogs in the cut. Think it might be an air leak as tried a new carb and new coil with no improvement Was a cheaper after market chinese coil though. I've checked the piston from exhaust side its looks ok. Anything else to check apart from a pressure vac test?
  24. Hi how did this go? Having similar issues with the same saw. Cut some barn dry half rotton birch up for someone and there was alot of dust think its caused a carb issue.
