Can a shattered tree branch that is still attached to the tree, (oak), that is spanning both lanes of a road, not an A or B road, and hung up in branches of opposing trees, be dealt with on the spot without informing highways etc? Can this be treated as a high risk scenario and just be done with a couple of skilled climbers on site and enough decent, road aware ground crew? All hypothetical of course:thumbup1:

The wit brothers, dim, nit and half, love that comment

The biggest shock came at the end......... THEY HAVE BRED!!!!!

Split it, burn it, don't worry about it

How do you mod the needle spring and is it worth retro-fitting a new ignition unit?

That's definitely what we would call a category A tree burning off

Bought it this morning and have just put a tank of juice through it. Quite a nice saw to use. Good nick and seeing as that is the original bar on a 2006 saw just shows it has done very little work. The old chap that had it couldn't start it, so it just sat in his shed.

As I know you wick, I have to say, you sound more Irish when you write than when you talk

Blimey, it's like the tv ad, everything you touch turns to skittles

Have you got a copy lathe?

Of course, we will expect another "my new groundie" thread with pics

Only kidding Good for you Rachel, you sound like you have a great work ethic and a good attitude to life. You will go far and achieve all you need.

It will be my back up and logging saw. I keep the 550xp for the day job and don't like ragging it on the logs.

Thanks guys, I know of a used one that has hardly had any use going for a good price, sounds like it's worth a punt then.

Anyone run an ms390? I know they are not a pro saw, but are they a good firewood saw?

That's ridiculous. Surely Arb/Forestry is the most manly occupation? There's no way in the world a woman could do it.

Not poking a snake with a stick by any chance

Sold both these last year. Had the zx for 4/5 years and had gone through it and given it a light resto. Bought the fazer 1000 as a replacement, but sold it after 4 months because I didn't find it comfortable over long distance. Shame, because they are an awesome bike. Oh, and yes I do regret selling the zx.

Just been offered a cagiva elephant 900 which might tempt me back in the saddle.

Probably would have hot drinks in. I did wonder if an exterior yacht varnish would be any good, but would prefer a more natural finish.

I'm wanting to turn a wooden mug/cup and was wondering if melted paraffin wax was the best thing to seal it with. Any ideas guys?

Thanks chaps

Are you buying them as loops or made up for your specific bar and saw. If you buy a stihl loop, it will be for a stihl bar. These will be a link or so too long for a husky type bar.

Thetford, Attleborough type areas.

Does anyone know what companies clear the power lines in the Norfolk area please.

Be worth checking the clutch springs. Almost sounds like something is grabbing when the brake is on.

loving this band at the moment. [ame]

Haven't logged on for a while and I'm beginning to see why - hairy-assed tree workers discussing the colour of a dress. Is this 'Arbtalk' or 'Mumsnet'?

Lime green and orange, btw.

Yeah, and who has just logged on to reply to a thread titled "The dress"

Oh, and my ass ain't hairy, I wax it

Bunch of whingers. They need to be dropped into a jungle and forgotten about.
