  1. We've got a very sluggish 064 that could do with being "spudded". I'm now also wondering if the cylinder is chinese. Hmmm...
  2. The hard wood snobs. The ones that say monty cyps doesn't burn
  3. I ordered me a 620sx on Monday but I'm having to wait till at least the end of next week for its delivery.. The wait is already breaking me . ( who ever said patience was a virtue, clearly wasn't waiting on a new chainsaw)
  4. Looks to me like a dogs pee spot :lol that usually has the same affect
  5. Sycamore is probably the easiest to split in my opinion. Unless full of knots ...
  6. Glad I'm not the only one
  7. And increase the step height with age
  8. Oh, and if anyone suffers with lower back niggles, really stretch your hamstrings and glutes out . Most back problems come from those muscles being too tight which then throws your back out, not actually the back muscles fault just them over compensating
  9. Literally all of the above . Same opinion and also the same lack of commitment when I'm sweet as a nut
  10. I love defenders but I think a lot of people don't incorporate "down time ", when they say they can save money fixing it themselves. Maybe that's just me, finding time to bury my head under the bonnet of a Landy most weeks is a mere dream to me. I'd love to be able to do it but it's unrealistic (for me) so I got myself a ranger instead
  11. Not too sure that's the best way to win over someone in the arb game
  12. Hilux will live for ever but you may have to live forever too to get up some hills in one... (in that price range)
  13. I do really like my breatheflex and will recommend them on comfort and manoeuvrability... The crotch has gone on mine and the zip for the pocket is coming apart and they're not 12 months old yet
  14. Ranger or Mazda. I wouldn't got for a L200 and as brilliant as a hilux is I think they're overpriced (only IMO )
  15. https://honeybros.com/Item/Beal_Pinch
  16. But I'd never say no to a pint if one gets offered ( only human after all )
  17. Take a business card from them and give them your business card in return
  18. If gardeners refer you to a job, refer them to other jobs and vice versa..? That's how I see it
  19. Hahaha that is true spud. I was just playing, honest
  20. A 200t not running properly... sounds perfectly normal to me
  21. Don't wear gloves starting out. Give your hands a chance to harden up. Unless it's thorn. Then it's a different ball game
  22. My ms 211 has a 16" bar and it copes with it very well, obviously keep the chain sweet. Stepped up to the rescue yesterday after finding a burried nail in the sycamore the 362 was felling (right at the end of the day, of course. But I think I'm going to drop down to 14" as it's actual purpose is only for snedding. Hope that helps
  23. Personally I think all the arbortec gear is top quality, enjoying the trousers, and I think my arbortec profell boots are up there with the best

  25. Yeah I already own a pair so need to adapt them. The stihl hi flex are pretty much the exact same trouser, minus the back flap fyi
