  1. Definitely wouldn’t go bigger than 10” myself.
  2. Yeah that makes sense thanks but when inside, what to look for as fiddling too much could cause a headache
  3. Hi all I’m presuming this is down to wear on a part in the handle as saw runs fine otherwise. On off lever just moves straight from full choke to on. Any tips on what to look for as I understand opening up the handle can get messy Cheers [emoji106]
  4. Yeah I agree. It’s a bit of a punt to say that big trees are about their genes. It’s more likely luck due to their location where that seed fell many years ago. Good luck them though, can’t moan too much about someone wanting to plant trees.
  5. I was reading a book recently about cloning trees. They want to clone the biggest redwoods that ever existed. They’ve all been felled but the stumps regrow, which is incredible in itself. The biggest stump they found was 65’ across! Inconceivable to me, even having been to the groves.
  6. Some pics would be ideal Cheers
  7. I got the Hyundai 15 hp and I got 3 years warranty. Two years in and the uk dealer swopped out a knackered battery no questions asked. Have been impressed by their service
  8. Yeah the tweak the syllabus and questions all the time.
  9. Be great to know how you change to pedal power. Is it easy enough?
  10. Or combi spanner - easier than starter handle. No other solution afaik
  11. Do you mean this: A051003132 Starter Recoil [Full Assembly] Echo 2511TES WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK Part number: A051003132 Starter Recoil [Full Assembly] Echo replacement part for echo chainsaw model 2511TES
  12. Nice spot up there, walked many times through it. I've worked in Holne Chase woods just the other side of the river. I was so glad that the NT/Woodland Trust bought those woods as the whole valley there is a rare gem of continuous woodland. I know a couple of local forestry guys who are probably too busy, but may know people who might be available, so if you don't get any leads let me know. I'd be quite up for working up there, but really I'm doing arb rather than forestry.
  13. What gap do you have between your anvil and the blades? I’m presuming that the wider the gap the more the machine will struggle on bigger diameter wood?
  14. Fair enough, but I’m used to getting 5...
  15. This sounds odd to me. My tree motion is 4 years old now and only had to replace leg hips once. Think it will make the 5 years no worries.
  16. And what if you cut one arm and miss the rope? How are you going to sort out 3 systems?
  17. I thought it was 11 x for safety factor on negative?
  18. Thanks love an Arbtalk debate
  19. Am I right to say that the greatest force when rigging with a pulley and friction device will be at the pulley attachment? Thanks
