Had both mine done Right at 23 left at 33 was back playing rugby after 5 months with the first one and 6 and a half with the second don't rush the start but you will only get out what you put in with the rehab also if you can get a cryo cuff get one makes a huge difference for the first 3-4 weeks compared to ice packs!

Probably to obvious but have you tried a blade from a different batch? and recheck the new belts as had one develop a bulge on a stenner the first week on also how old are the pulley wheels as I believe they may be crowned and do wear

The 13" bar on my 254 is shot and needs replacing i'm mostly using it to cut softwood saw logs in half and am getting frustrated by having to constantly cut from both sides so was wondering what is the longest bar this saw can practically handle? Also i use it 1-2 times a month is a better quality bar worth the extra cost or are the benefits mostly longer service life? many thanks

Hi there i have a fencing job to do that has a Hawthorne hedge that will need a good trim back some of the growth is 20 mm thick but most is 10 mm or under! I need to invest in some hedge cutters but will only use them 5-6 times a year so don't want to spend a fortune if i don't need to! Also what are the pro's and cons of single sided vs double sided cutters?

Just wondering is anyone producing softwood bars within reasonable haulage distance to the midlands? Larch Spruce or Douglas preferred but other species considered

Hi i did my cs 30/31 as an add on to a countryside and environmental course the countryside & eviromental tutor got his facts wrong and told us the blue nptc book proved that we had done the course but we could send off for a credit card picture id if we wanted to! being young i didn't think to read the book! i'm now considering doing further tests due to a job change and have read the book only to discover that i needed to send it off for my certs will it still count? I did the course in 1997 18 years ago and the photos although signed by the assessor are of me back then!

I would like to start climbing, recreational to start with but with the hope to expand and get my tickets later but i was wondering how much i'd need for a starter set up? and whether its better to pay more now as i expect things like a cheap harness will need replacing sooner than a good one?

Hi there i have a stratford eco 9he woodburner and burn 99% softwood as its free cut from the timber too twisted to be any use in the mill but can only get 8 hour max when shut down over night and was wondering if hardwood would last longer?

Hi there was just wondering what the pro's and cons are of a curved blade over a straight blade and vice versa or whether its just down to personal preference?

I read something a few years ago that the human race had exceeded critical mass therefore one child per person would still cause the population to grow! So the problem is not one for the future but now but no one wants to admit it!
