  1. a general rule when pruning fruit trees is to remove crossing branches but upon closer inspection personaly I would leave the branch to callous as steve said
  2. the lower limb to the right should be removed cant tell properly from the picture any chance of a close up of the branch that has grown around cheers
  3. the problem you've got is the concrete posts arnt as good as they used to be the wooden tanilised post last 15 years a local fencing supplier told me this
  4. cheap way that is also the best go to your local DIY store B&Q tool station screw fix etc. and buy some bitumen roofing paint and just paint where comes into contact with the soil obviously cant specify exact area depends on how deep post is
  5. i have a 2 month old 201 an its still aload of shite hard to start a massive lul in power from when you actualy press the trigger and anything happening get a t540 xp throw the techshite bar for a sugi bar an stihl chain
  6. it takes a while to build up but noting beats word of mouth
  7. don't touch stihl kombi units I had a km130r with pole saw and headgetrimmer attachments witch the dealer raved about had it about 6 months heard a grinding noise from the gearbox then headge trimmer attachment stopped working so I took it back to the delear and it couldn't be fixed turns out if you buy the fixed shaft pole headge trimer it only goes up to the km 100 but if you get the kombi it goes up to the km130r witch is great for pole saw but the gears in the headgetrimmer cant cope with the extra power hope this helps
  8. I have a 261 and its spot on used it to fell 3o conifers the other day and didn't miss a beat as said earlier the fuel tank is to small though
