That’s really cool. Nicely done 😎

Have you checked you haven’t got a siezed brake cable to one (or more wheels) I had one (work supplied not owned) seize once, the return springs didn’t have enough strength to piull the gummed up cable back to allow the brake off.

Where abouts are you? does the mn26 mean its max is a 26 inch log? how long is it current track? Most importantly how much £ (at least fart and give us a clue as I cba with pissing about)

As above, if your south (ish) I could be interested.

It will be seasoning out side, it will season a lot quicker in smaller bits, the sooner you smash it apart the sooner it will dry.

Provisionally sold.

Not sure, think most are rated about the same as a karabiner. Cba to go and check the label to be honest, will look tomorrow if I remember.

He point of the clip is it breaks if the saw get stuck In a step cut etc so you lose your saw but you stay in the tree. I can’t say I’ve had that happen but I guess it’s possible.

It will fit 550 mk2 will also fit a stihl 441 & 461 at a push I can’t help with other models

Indeed, you can’t fix stupid and sometimes shit does just happen

Which brings us back to untrained ****wits shouldn’t be allowed to own a saw.

I’ve got 24 multi-tip 1 grinder teeth to fit a predator grinder now surplus to requirements due to a machine rejig selling for £270 (inc vat) delivered to your door. They are in a box and ready to go, could be with a courier on Monday. these are genuine teeth not after market crap.

Our TO has done similar once in the past. We had a request to remove the con area notification and resubmit with “a spec agreed at a site meeting” there will be no objection otherwise a TPO will be placed on the tree. The end result was more in line with what we had recommended to the customer anyway but they wanted the fell.

Mill it, if it turns out to be crap mill into beams that will fit through the log processor either way your on a winner.

You do know that you still need to loler your rigging kit don’t you? Speed lines are part of rigging and therefore covered under loler as you are still suspending a load from said line (all be it a moving one, but that isn’t relevant to the regulations).

1001 actually

Your sometimes lucky to get much more out of treated fence posts 🤔 cheers guys, it would seem much as I thought. Maybe longer than 10 years if kept out of the weather inside the barn and make sure the water can’t pool around them at ground level.

Fair play, I stand corrected. 👍 what’s your take on this subject Paul?

Some one goes to A&E with a chainsaw injury they do not get asked if pro or diy so all the figures get lumped together, the result of this is yes as an industry we do suffer with higher insurance and red tape because of diy ****wits. A diy person that has asked for advice, brought a pair of trousers, boots and lid moves away from the ****wit camp and into the sensible (but still untrained) diyer. my answer would be to ban sales of all saws to non ticket holders, that includes second hand having to prove you checked before selling a saw. I think this would solve a lot of accidents and have some impact on the sale of stolen gear if every ****wit wasn’t allowed to own one. The basic training to own a small saw for your own firewood and garden shouldn’t need to be hard or expensive to teach basic maintenance and safety. If this happened the industry would also benefit on the same level that people except they can’t piss about with there gas supply so call a gas safe plumber.

That’s really good I like that 😎 how do you control how far the burning goes for and in what direction?

Does anyone know how durable Laylandi timber is buried in the ground? Either just in soil or concreted in as a post? The posts would in time by kept out of the weather - a customer wants to keep the poles to use for a shed corner posts, I wasn’t sure, so said I would ask for them. cheers all.

I’m the same @trigger_andy apart from I’ve only got a basic Alaskan not a big wide posh panther mill 🤔

I only knock wedges in with that palm of my hand, just to hold the cut - your not trying to push a tree over

Assuming your talking about the last couple of inch then: I found that coming out the end of the log at an angle helped With this as it stopped the mill dropping as the first rail fell off the end of the log.
