    Sounds like you need to adjust the carb screws. Too lean on top end

    I mean I'm a fencer, and own a chainsaw, could I call myself a chainsaw operator I'd say yes you can as I don't think there is a legal requirement to have chainsaw tickets?

    You need to mention it but it should not make any difference. I'm with nfu and always told them and it's not sent the policy up as far as I know.

    Buy local saves this problem!

    Is there even a register he could check them against?

    Trident

    Richard 1234 replied to Mark J's topic in The Lounge

    I do think it's a bit mad that Scotland (well the SNP anyway) don't want the jobs/money that trident will create? If they are being kept the community should benefit.

    I think you've got to be 2 years without a seizure to get a licence? I know it's something along those lines
  8. Richard 1234
    Fair enough. If you did have "pay" for it though it would presumably make the numbers stack up slightly differently?

    How much was the big chipper to hire in?
  10. Richard 1234
    Mine are past that stage now 10 and 12. I took 5 years off to be with them from babies. Quiet time coming up as work is always quiet in summer holidays busy for October and November then quiet again until March. Family time is nice but still need to pay bills.

    I only work 6 hour days 3-4 hours at weekends. I do the school run both ends of the day and I'm with them till bedtime. So it's not like I don't see them probably more than most dads see their kids. I see a lot more of them than I saw of my dad!

    Days off are overrated! I've not had one in 4 months. But I'm taking 4 days next week as we're taking boys to Alton towers for their birthdays 😁

    The Stihl clutch is probably just stuck if it's not been used

    The breather is the other pipe that comes out the tank back from the carb.
  16. Richard 1234
    Have you checked the fuel filter in the tank? Also the breather pipe. Start there if you haven't.
  17. Richard 1234
    I've done 2 hours with it full throttle this morning as a test on stuff I normally use the Stihl for. 4 lines on it and it was really very good working flat out. It did not feel any more vibey than the Stihl either.
  18. Richard 1234
    My 85 is ten years old and it's a bit tired but always starts 2nd or 3rd pull.
  19. Richard 1234
    Is it the shaft or the gear head? Reason I ask is the gear head on my fs85 eat itself earlier in the year. That was an easy replace job. Mind you it was £110 for the new part(genuine though) I wish they still made the 85 and put the anti vibe on it. It would be perfect for the village work as its lighter. but can't really use it as its too vibey.
  20. Richard 1234
    I've seen the official vibe stuff and in paper it does seem high. However I've also got the Stihl fs410 but wanted a cheaper spare. The vibes in practice feel no different at all. But it is not used full throttle very often at all. It gets used for local villages strimming round lampposts and other street furniture. So it spends most of it time at idle. Put it this way I won't buy another Stihl if it lasts 2 seasons.

    Put your prices up don't try and compete with them. It does not work. Aim to win in quality not price. It's been the same around here for years.
  22. Richard 1234
    Why are you going to be screwed? The rules apply to all don't they? It's the customers who will suffer with price rises
  23. Richard 1234
    Have a look at the iseki and grillo ride on collectors. The ones with the big plastic bins on the back. They should tick your boxes
  24. Richard 1234
    I've just been and got one. Quality is not bad at all for (so read good) for £130. I've only picked it up for the pole pruner bit really as I don't want to spend hundreds on one that will get used 3-4 times a year! The hedge cutter may come in handy too as it has the extra extension pole. Worth a punt for the money I think. They must be reasonably confident as it has 3 year warranty even though it's only domestic it's better than Stihl etc give you on most stuff.

    That's true enough someone dumped a transit sized tipper load of tyres on our farm drive. We phoned the council to be told it was our problem! Luckily we knew another farmer who wanted some to hold down some plastic covering extra bales of straw he had no storage for do he had them!
