Used my pantin for the first time in in ages on Saturday. Managed to kick up about 40 feet without it popping out. The last time I used it I was on 13mm rope, this time I was on 11.7mm and it seemed to tend better than the thicker rope. If I can get the technique right consistently, I would say it's an advantage.

Thanks Cov.... I'll take a look at that. Timon

TIMON replied to mendiplogs's topic in The Lounge
Thanks Steve for a great forum etc.. I agree with Jon . It's the coolest place on the net. It's taught me there's much more to ARB than the cutting of trees. Learnt a great deal from this forum. Wether it's help and advice on climbing. Kit, legislation or real life issues. Great banter and heated debates on every subject under the sun. Love it. Timon -
Nice one.. We're doing ours in a couple of weeks.. Can you tell me what the course actually covers and what we will need to know. Any thing that would help to prepare or bring etc... Thanks

Fair play, you're a better man than me. After numerous successful attempts at "sabotaging" the weekly shopping trip (multiple expensive and completely unnecessary purchases. Deliberate time wasting, mild disagreements etc..) It was decided some time ago that it was better all round if I remained in the car while the missus went in on her own....

No we're in South Birmingham but we've had a long standing relationship with them and they deliver next day. Our local supplier is Global sales in Kings Heath who are also excellent.

Joe..Just spoke to Buxtons about getting our 201 upgraded.. They say providing it falls within the designated serial numbers they will do it free.... We're putting it through in a couple of weeks.. I'll let you know what the serial numbers are when we do it..

The Stihl trainer told me that you can send in your old 201 for a free upgrade at a dealer (obviously Stihl recognise that it wasn't the saw it should have been) new carb, exhaust and ignition I think.

I bought a new T540 xp this summer, I was a bit concerned about the problems others had experienced with the AV spring breaking etc... I have to say it is excellent. Very quick in the cut, gutsy little saw. Really glad I got it now. On the down side it is a little temperamental when cold or cooling down but once it is warm it is great. I did read on here it's worth replacing the AV spring regularly. I used a 201 previously and I much prefer the husky, there's no comparison.

Hi Jon , damp, cold and grey here in Brum mate. Almost glad to be in the office today.......

Many happy returns Stubby.....

We get these from time to time... I always take photos of them and their van and reg plate, and make sure that they know I have. We have a metal skip on one of our yards and it seems to attract them.

Hi Jon ... It's minus 3c here in Coventry. Crisp and dry, Timon

I saw a knackered transit flare side chugging up the road in a cloud of blue smoke.. Does that count as a pick up?

Beautiful winters morning in Brum Jon 0c. Should be good for the log sales now mate.
