  1. Think id still choose the msa220 over a msa300 as I think batteries niche atm is the smaller saws but the msa300 is trying to compete in the pro 40cc- 50cc class but has less power and more weight less runtime than petrol so I think might be underwhelming? Happy with my 18v makita. A grouptest review on the new 40v makitas & new echo versus the husky & stihl would be interesting....
  2. Probably had ash dieback no stray twigs left around as they are so distinctive on ash?
  3. But the crankcases are an identical shape in the parts diagrams I linked how do you explain that? There are some weird fake looking russian makitas also dunno if there related in anyway...... Shavey & wyk are the makita experts.
  4. My burning shame: I fitted my house with three wood-burning stoves | George Monbiot | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Wood burners are awful for the environment and flood our homes with toxins, too. I wish I’d known that in 2008, says... hmmm 🤨
  5. Quantifying the benefits of inefficient walking: Monty Python inspired laboratory based experimental study WWW.BMJ.COM Objective To compare the rate of energy expenditure of low efficiency walking with high efficiency walking. Design... U must of seen this?
  6. Spot the difference? CRANKCASE ASSY shape looks the same? Here: Stiga Engine 2 assembly | Stiga SP 386 [240381602-S17] 2018 model WWW.WORLDOFMOWERS.CO.UK Engine 2 assembly details for Stiga SP 386 [240381602-S17] 2018 model Makita https://cdn.makitatools.com/apps/cms/doc/prod/EA4/3544ffb1-6a12-41f4-b2a6-db0e986edb46_EA4300F40B_EA4300FR_PS-421_PB_Rev_7.pdf
  7. Would be nice if stiga carried on making the dolmar/makita saws in disguise. But that stiga spec is only 1.6kw? Maruyama had some red dolmars but stiga seems less likely as not jp based?

    A little advice

    From another forum. Unsure if this might effect long term reliability? 545 sounds nice saw but price new isn't much different from the 550 ? The new echo CS-4310SX looks really good but is expensive so is the ms241 in 40cc saws compared to the 50cc ones.

    A little advice

    Why choose the 545 555 over the XP saws?
  10. Just googled this idea and saw this seller on ebay listing a 66K burn box Burnwell Air Curtain Incinerator Burner for wood, vegetation, animals, forestry. WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Burnwell Air Curtain Incinerator Burner for wood, vegetation...
  11. Nice to still be allowed to have a big bonfire I thought thet were more often than not banned now on heaths due to the idea they enrich the soil.
  12. 7 wonders of the acient world tour, Could see the lot in the same yr but maybe not all in top shape?
  13. Hydraulic tip is handy
  14. Lumag have a chinesuim battery one Lumag MD450E 450kg Electric Tracked Dumper with Manual Tip | Lumag Distribution WWW.LUMAG-GB.CO.UK Lumag MD450E 450kg Electric Tracked Dumper with Manual Tip The Lumag MD450E Electric Tracked Dumper is a... I expect the UK remote control one is abit more pricey? Alot of the italian brands have a lecky version now also.
  15. I left 1000's on the ground which attracted a load of pheasants who pecked holes in them all. Then they all rotted to a brown mush in the warm autum weather fairly fast. Being throwing a few "fresh" ones down from storage for the blackbirds to eat.
  16. Was looking at some weird isolated medieval style walled village in the jungle near HK awhile back wasn't even a proper tarmac road to it just a very narrow stone slabbed track though the jungle , place looked like a historic film set Apparenlty triads/ extended families of several 100 all live in the same village. China was paying some of them to beat up the democracy protesters in HK. Walled villages of Hong Kong - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Can't remember where it was now annoyingly. Seems there are alot of walled villages near HK.
  17. Don't thoose lecky vans have upgraded / regen brakes though designed for the extra weight?
  18. Can you still source the spares? Looking at the website it seems thy are stopping the development of any new models of proffesional saws and just doing homeowner ones.
  19. That japanese guy was probably wrong about capitalism & liberal democracy being the stable end state of society in history. Malthus maybe was right?
  20. Yes but still a big improvement on an open fire, but I assume the lifspan V an expensive brand one will be more limited and likely then are abit less efficient.
  21. Plently of people about with woodburners from machine mart circa £300 etc and self installed some into unlined chinmeys no hetas involved etc
  22. No pasting in that post all just my own drivel.
  23. What chainsaw parts comes from ukraine? Or how does it have an impact? EDIT might be this? Sounds like thet do have a factory that makes /made something there? STIHL bears responsibility for workforce in Ukraine WWW.STIHL.COM
  24. One big driver for change in society is technologies impact The internets invention for example has had a really big impact some positive alot of of it negative. Or neo-liberism regan thacther style economics. Thatchers that there's no such thing as society. Seeing as the UK is becoming more like the USA ? The culture wars thing could still go either way see hijab wearing protests in Iran & Rode V Wade being over turned in the US etc. Willl the future be an abudance of enviro- mentalist black lesbians one armed farmers or return to more 1950 attitudes? Thoose things change over time like the acient greeks being openly homos and suposedly the Romans having a black emperor. Maybe the internet has turbo charged the rate & timescale of social changes or just cause an increase in the polarization of views?
