  1. Wondered the same thing. Think its kind a of like a secret sauce recipe. They all seem to mention anti fling additives but never say what they actually are. Tackifier - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG I just use rapeseed oil.
  2. Ivy dust is nasty and noticed dust on beech also mould spores maybe.
  3. Thanks yeah I see there the carving bar version comes with a 1/4 DUC254CZ
  4. I do wonder if hi tech modern and net zero are compatible.

  8. Think greta is right, seems like its just blah blah blah. Alot of targets for the future, but not the action to realistically meet them.
  9. Maybe the idea is they can fell /burn the whole lot by 2030 at the rate there going at it. Disspaointed at miguel though he would have one of these MS 720 - Powerful 4.8kW high performance saw WWW.STIHL.CO.ZA The MS 720 – lmproved design of the most popular livelihood chain saw STIHL 070.

  11. I see they actually sell replacement stickers never knew they were that important whats the actually regs with regards to stickers?
  12. Interesting details in this article:
  13. When a did the CS31 I remember everyones chain was blunt 😏. My hand sharpening isn't that good, but many were artrocious. Have a recollection that some guy actually said he just binned chains & used & new ones as they got blunt 😀
  14. Bearings went on my 18V hedge cutter after 6 month or so but repalced them & its being fine since. The 18V topper had the red overheat light but cleaned under clutch and hasn't happened since. See that makita do 40v outdoor power - hedge trimmers etc & an 40V & 80V strimmers now so expect the40v - 80V chainsaws will come out soon.....
  15. Echo/shindawa has the new CS-4310SX 4.3kg 2.3KW - seems impressive spec https://www.echotools.com/en_us/products/chain-saws/cs-4310sx_38 Not in UK though
  16. Some info Apparently its grown in NZ for forestry Farm Forestry timbers - Cypress WWW.NZFFA.ORG.NZ Sapwood non durable heartwoods durable... Posts last better in ground if packed with stones /hardcore rammed around rather than using concrete thats traps the water Also think seasoned wood lasts longer than if used green.
  17. I reckon the locations of the injuries would still be similar if the data was from 2021 & uk Relevant to all chainsaw users regardless of PPE? Head neck : kickback zone injuries Leg feet ones = chain brake should be on when walking as some no dobt caused by trips, or very clumsy snedding awarkward stuff etc Left hand ones =More unsure about thoose ,wonder is mostly from using toppers? more detaill would be useful Are chain throw injuries a common thing?
  18. Theese shapes whilst ID-ing may be is useful e.g think Greensleeves isn't right shape? Greensleeves looks abit oblate OP's apple looks more roundish conical verging on oblong? This yellow golden delicious looks more the right shape but skin looks too waxy imo (skin being waxy or not another ID method)
  19. Think you are only half right as dependent on the chain speed, the chainsaw may still go though the mostly class 1 trousers & boots so still expect there are the leg a foot injuries indicated in that diagram even with correct PPE just less as its stopping or reducing severity of some of the injuries.
  20. I remember something about a different system think it was this: STIHL Quickstop Plus STIHL Quickstop Plus is an additional braking feature found on select STIHL chainsaw models. This features allows the chain brake to be manually activated from the rear handle. Whenever the operator releases the rear handle, the chain brake engages. Chainsaws with Quickstop Plus are indicated by the letter “Q” in the model name. Nevered used a saw with it on. Must of being shite? EDIT: Other systems/ ideas are thoose low kickback chains that cut abit rubbish and bars with covered tips.
  21. How about thoose carts they have in B&Q but with bigger off road wheels/castors Deluxe battery powered one Bit pricey though 😲 RAVENDO Powered Platform Truck | Capacity: 500kg - PARRS WWW.PARRS.CO.UK Buy quality engineered RAVENDO Powered Platform Truck with a 500kg capacity from PARRS. Move heavy loads with... Chinese variation looks fun 🙂 And goes off road in the video: Compact structure and easy moving portable electric cart carrying capacity of 1 ton WWW.ALIBABA.COM
  22. With the traditional looking props & braces they use in japan they seem to use mostly biodegrable rope & natural materials.
  23. Pitmaston Pineapple 1 minute googling guess 🙂
