    Maybe get say a 20W electric desk fan they actually push enough air to work well. Think ALL the thermo ones are abit useless they just don't seem to push the air volume to have an impact....

    Chain grinder..

    Stere replied to john87's topic in Chainsaws

    Depends abit on how blunt/damaged the chain is how much is needed to be removed to get it sharp but from the ones iv'e seen grinding often seem to take more than is needed. Also seems to be a common idea reduce all the teeth to to length of the shortest one which I think is abit unnescessary... Remember on one homeowners chainsaw had he had the chain done by a shop on a grinder. When i looked at it after I wasn''t convinced it was even the same chain still on on the saw, as it had, had so much material removed from what was a fairly new chain, that when it came back it looked a near half worn one.... Maybe some places/people/machines do very a good job grinding many others no so much.....

    Reserves of what? Surely rain is good for drought areas or will a second spring stress trees etc more?

    Alot of new theese new brands might not exist in 5 yrs time then if something breaks will have to be binned? Would only go for establised companies as more chance of getting spares and spares support longterm though its abit early to say how long all theese cordless motor products are built to l last V the petrol eqivalents longterm etc? Less to go wrong on electric motors so should keep going as long as you can get the spares?..... Bearings went on my cordless 18v makita trimmer & there was a full part list and all parts were available to buy. Though some compatible SKF ones were cheaper. Intersting styling though looks like a futursitic weapon

    Wonder if the the linesmen still carry a special mallet to tap the poles/test them for soundness? Probably it is abit more hi-tech now.... Anyhow normally the rot is at ground lvl rest of the pole is still decent.

    Chain grinder..

    Stere replied to john87's topic in Chainsaws

    My observation is file does alot better job than a grinder if you are skilled at it. The grinder done chains look abit rough and less perfectly sharp in comparison from the ones iv'e seen.... Overheating while grinding can be avoided by using CBN wheels on grinder (expensive but probably worth it). I never sharpen chains out in field just carry 3 spare ones.

    Does remind me of thoose internets sites that promise "get rich quick by learn the secret buiness tips only the top the CEO's know" etc sign up now for our special intro package, It does seem a sector that attracts alot of snake oil....as its kind of nebelous its a perfect place for that kind of stuff to thrive.

    Same blower just has a different name in the USA

    Still don't get why spray as you will still need to strip the dead turf if replacing with something else??

    Think many often underestimate costs massively though and assume more profit on jobs than the reality. Im not sure many bother to actually think that deeply about costs/proft etc? If they do they probably think if you make more than £15 per hr profit they are overpaying you, as they class it as "low status" job.

    1 acre isn't enough you would need at least 5 minimum I think to get enough wood to be self sufficient in firewood etc Good idea if you can afford 5 acres of mature woodland but prices are high. Many companies are buying up larger woods sub-dividing them into small parcels and reselling. Buying woodland 10ys ago was a very good investment probabaly still is but who knows what prices will do in future

    I have alot of the 18v makita stuff topper chainsaw drills strimmer hegde trimmer etc but haven't got a blower yet (I use a husky petrol blower )as the battery blower runtimes & blowing power was low V the petrol handheld ones. Seem blowing is something that eats batteries faster than some other types of battery tools. This was the model id get if i do go makita though: Makita DUB362Z Review: Makita 18V X2 Battery-Powered Blower Review XBU02 - Pro Tool Reviews WWW.PROTOOLREVIEWS.COM The Makita XBU02 18V X2 Cordless Blower is the brand's flagship model among its battery-powered offerings.

    Pretty sure its adb. As for what to do you could prune remove the dead bits back to live wood. It probably won't help the tree recover or even survive long run but u never know.... Trees nearby hopefully might be more resistant. I wouldn't worry about them getting infected by the little tree, as the spores are everywhere and they will still get it anyway, if they are gonna get it etc regardless...

    Pink Lady® can only be grown under liecence so probably a diff variety. You could also get a dehydrator if you want to preserve them
