    Makita Saw

    I bought a Makita DCS5121 a while back as an upgrade on a Stihl ms211, great saw. I love mine. Al
  2. Couldn't agree more, Acorn 5210A is a great bit of kit. Well worth the investment. Al
  3. My Makita wouldn't start today or yesterday, flooded continually. Bought a new spark plug and seems no change. Is it the weather?
  4. Hi, I'm having the exact same problem with my 5121. I've just put new plug in and no joy so far. Will try again in the morning after its settled again, I suspect the weather may be a cause as it's real hot and muggy here. Did it work long term for you ? Al
  5. While not tree related, nothing beats this.....

    Cs30 / 31

    Yeah, I did it with a stihl ms211. Served me excellently. So your husky will be ideal. Al
  7. Yup, looks just like giant hog weed to me too. I had no idea fig did the same. Al
  8. Bit of a random question really, what do folks use to carry their chainsaw tools in, ie combi spanners, spare chain, filing clamp, files, brush etc ? I was using a zip up trainer bag but the zips giving out. It has to fit in a backpack. Just interested and looking for ideas. Thanks Al
  9. I'm away next week on my cs30/31 course but will take you up on the offer very soon after that. Thanks Al
  10. Looks really good. As mentioned, space your area code on your landline number lower down the page. Good stuff Al
  11. I asked the very same question just the other day http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/75563-uk-vs-imports.html Al
  12. Good luck to you, big move. Al
  13. Afternoon all, as per the title really. I'm looking at getting into the 'utility' side of tree surgery, but I'm also keen to learn alongside that the rope side of climbing. I'll supply lunch if anyone's close and patient enough. Long shot, I know. Thanks Al
  14. Old thread I know. I'm 37 nearing 38 and only just starting out in this game. Al
  15. Perfect, that was a tight gap.
  16. Evening all, I was looking at a husq T435 and per our UK sites it's ranging from £380 to £450, then I stumbled across this Husqvarna T435 chainsaw with 14" Bar and Chain 35.2cc 2.01hp 7.5lbs BRAND NEW 024761034425 | eBay It comes from USA at around £257 posted to my door..........but is subject to import/tax costs. My question is, have any of you bought a saw from abroad and not had to pay the extra costs? I understand the warranty side of it, if I bought uk based saw I can speak direct to supplier etc etc but at nearly £200 saving, I'm seriously considering the USA option. Al
  17. Hi Kevin, We're you contracting or regular? If regular, what unit? Al
  18. Well, they do say "speed is of the essence" !
  19. With homelessness, poverty etc in this country, one Man getting 42k a day to play football badly.......makes my pi55 boil. I sometimes question why I brought my boy into the world. Al
