After much debate and a post on here for advice/suggestions and thanks for the replies i decided to take the 3 infected limbs off , 2 on the left and one on right . I thought i made a good call has the limbs were a mess and the previous owners had hacked at this poor old Chesnutt . I Did not take limbs right back but too were they were clear/clean but no doubt the whole tree will succumb in time .

Totally agree with getting on the ground asap but having some kit with you will help or help others who are injured while someone is scrambling around in van looking for a first aid kit . Ste

I swear by the 4mix engines and no you don't a separate can just the same has normal for your 2stroke machines .

Its been battered on large estates cutting hawthorn hedges daily and gearbox has been faultless and I have tapped a grease nipple too keep greased regular .
