Différent strokes I guess. I only like the 536 when I’m repollarding limes or other really soft wood. Using it on acacia, especially dead stuff, is painful.

Bit niche I know. I’m sure you’ll like the saw Darnoc.

I think I’ll just take it back (the battery) it’s not a light saw anyway for the power, this is too much.

How important is product availability to you?
Mick Dempsey replied to Mark_Skyland's topic in General chat
Apropos of nothing. I remember going into a arb shop over a decade ago, some kid kept calling me ‘mate’ I told him ‘I’m not your mate, I’m the client’ (I was at nearly 50 at the time) he got quite offended. -
HC wood turns to pulp very quickly. Get one of those X-ray things on it.

Yes, I have the 536, was going to get the 540ix but none in stock.

Funnily enough, after I wrote that I picked up the phone and checked at my local dealer and they’d had a delivery! So I popped out and got one, didn’t realise it was a 300amp one, which is big and heavy. We’ll see how it goes.

Not my thing Stu. The only thing worse than feeding one of those is watching a video of someone feeding one. I am sure they have their place though.

I’m blocked from seeing his tweets, but from what I see this is real. It’s a real head scratcher.

Stein rigging (anyone used it before)
Mick Dempsey replied to Carteeni's topic in Rigging and roping
I’m pretty sure it’s well regarded and widely used in the business. -
Lost a head torch, looked for it for 2 months, certain it was somewhere in the workshop. I caved in and said to the wife ‘only one way to find it, buy another one’ so I did. That afternoon it turns up, fallen between my armchair and a storage unit. It’s the law.

Ok, just curious as Husky batteries are the proverbial hen’s teeth atm.

What’s the battery availability?

A&F were great, a real Aladdin’s cave. -

Where did you get this piece of info?

Beau (pronounced bow) is a male name. Should be Belle. Call her what you like mind.

Just a Douglas fir randomly planted.

I just feel that restarting the cycle on new heads is a good idea from a tree health pov for these really old, repeatedly pollarded trees full of hollows and cavities, plus as you say you do get a better looking result for the first few years.

You’re not alone!

Dealing with problem staff that don't listen
Mick Dempsey replied to Chrissy's topic in General chat
As an owner I always try to blame anyway else before accepting blame myself. I’m already furious about loads of stuff before anyone even turns up for work. The first few hours are usually spent in a state of constant agitation, muttering stuff like ####sake!’ ‘Come on!’ And ‘this job’s a ####ing disaster already!’ By lunchtime I’ve already fallen into a sort of resigned depression. Otherwise it’s all sunshine and roses.- 111 replies

Anything is possible, well almost anything. At your age I’d be looking elsewhere for a change of career. It is physically quite hard in all weathers, not that well paid at the foot soldier level and a bit oversubscribed in the UK at least.
