    Felling and snedding is fine I find that sorting out the brash is the knackering bit. I totally understand chippers now !

    Billy Connelly used to say that we are all allowed a certain amount of alcohol in our life, it just depends how we space it out. My dad used to say everything in moderation, especially moderation !

    Lordy you have been busy I did about 12 old syc stools this winter and it was hard work. Up side was good firewood for next winter. never mind 3 hectares ! You must be looking forward to spring for a rest !

    Have to agree 100%.

    I agree on all the negative reviews, they are cold on a cold day, hot on a hot day and weigh a ton. Torture devices !

    120 is a lovely wee saw would be ideal for this type of work, just keep it sharp !

    Not many positives for my family, wife and I both doctors so have worked more hours this year than the bothy cat ! Garden looks good, cut loads of firewood, built a summer house but really miss family and friends. Haven’t played much golf in the last year and miss my mates. Honestly cannot see how there have been any positives from this, NHS wrecked, economy wrecked, kids education wrecked it’s a bloody disaster. Sorry not to be 100%positive but there it is.

    I've got a bit of bamboo superglued to a fridge magnet. I guess if this is a Sthil product it won't be cheap.

    Another vote for tongs, save your back and don't aggravate my tennis elbow like the pickeroon does. I've the Husky ones very good, can't imagine what you would have to do to break them so should last for years. Pickeroons blunt and break.

    Spilled my coffee laughing 😆

    Me too, makes great firewood if processed quickly after felling and stored correctly.

    Where I live they'd nick the wood never mind leaving your tools out. My saws live in an unheated brick shed and it is cold and a bit damp and they all start fine, (120, 550, 365). Although I do bring the battery in to the house for the 120.
  15. Silverhooker
    Tidy saw for ringing up, is it a 365 ? I’ve got one and I love it.
  16. Silverhooker
    Love my L200. Fairly bulletproof.

    Light snow and cold wind, wind chill is terrible.

    Nowt as queer as folk !

    If the boss makes his work decisions based on his wife’s whims then I think he probably won’t be a great boss, you may have dodged a bullet there.

    I like my log tongs better, the pickeroon aggravates my tennis elbow, if she isn't enjoying the pickeroon try log tongs instead.

    We've all been there, recently took down a dead flowering cherry that someone had poured cement in to ! wrecked 1 chain totally !

    I use mine in Cumbria and had no issues, the chip causing shorts is easily avoided if you just wipe the saw down regularly, I’ve found the battery saw really easy to keep clean.
  23. Silverhooker
    I had one, til I was taught to hand file properly, it’s ok only a light touch needed or you risk over heating the metal. Don’t forget the rakers too.
  24. Silverhooker
    I’ve a 120 which for general pruning and trimming is excellent and good for light tree work. Reliable and easy to keep clean. Battery is a bit pricey tho.

    Have to give a big up to Rough hewn who recommended this saw to me. Top advice.
