  1. Spud 🖐. Have you done anything to a 360tes yet to add more punch? This gentleman on to something or no? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. I'm happy with my 360tes, lacks that little bit of extra punch though imo. Never found weight an issue, I don't have little girly arms 👀😂. Starts very well in comparison to 200t's etc Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Echo 360tes - echo 620sx as every day saws until the stihl 661 has to make an appearance for me. 620 is an oustanding saw. 360tes is good but I'd advise to go stihl in that department if I'm honest Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    A/t tyre

    I'm on general grabber all terrain and I've been pretty happy with them Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. With regards to cleaning it up, soak it in soapy water , bit of a scrub, dry it then teeny bit of duck oil, rub up with a clean rag. Then check for cracks... I don't to it too often tbh Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Does anyone know if they've sorted the problems with these boots yet or will a brand new pair still only last 5 minutes? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Not that I ever used one but I did like the look/idea of the little peruzzo people were talking about a good few months back Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Scrap that, Jonesies got it Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Anyone know if blue tongue can be bought by the meter ? Fancy some at 30m rather than 45m [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. P.s I'm sure my testies have reached a good 100 degrees in the summer wearing them 👍 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. I'd be interested to see if any pair of chainsaw trousers live up to the safety spec if a 60 wash kills them. As said above, hot summer's days etc. Most people I know don't wash them regular enough in my eyes, therefore leaving them pickled in petrol and oil.... Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. I know the timing is terrible with your family but it's better than causing long term pain that ends your career (potentially). If you really really can't have the time off just keep dosed up on pain killers and anti inflammatories, and where a knee support to keep the area warm... Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Knees are a ba$¥ard. If you push through the pain/take pain killers/strap it up whatever, short term yeah brilliant you're financial better off by not taking the time off work... I promise you it'll bite you in the ass long term. Borrow a sub from family or friends to cover work loss and have the keyhole mate Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. Even more perfect if you've got a nice big secure garage attached to your house that you can drive straight into after work 👍 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. I'd go cotoneaster Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. How can a thread be so informative and hilarious at the same time 🤣 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. I used this knot today. Works nice 👍 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Dug out my wire flip line today for the first time in over a year and I've got the isc grab thingy majigger on it. Wow! How much I hate that thing in comparison to my art positioner on a bit of 11.5 scion ! Having to pull myself in to release is a ballache. Love the positioner. I climb with a zz on my main line which makes me want to ask the question, is there any issues with side loading the zillon ? Or does it tend not to be a problem Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Must be because of brexit 🤣 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. I'd run them all on a high grade stihl oil at 50:1. I'm surprised that you still have warranty on a petrol tool that uses 25:1. I guess cheap b&q equipment or something McAllister? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Always get jealous of people who can pack their mowers away for the "off season". A maintenance contract that we do infuriates me because all the resident's from "up north" moan at us for cutting the grass during October to March saying how we should be cracking on with other things even though it does drop down from once a week to once every 4-6. What they fail to realize is that they've moved to bloody Cornwall and that can't happen. ( I don't care how many acres you owned in your youth in Manchester or Leeds! That doesn't count) 😠. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand breathe. Thanks for the chance to vent guys 👌😂😂 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. Update... 3 nails in the second 😣 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. I've cheesed down the first stem.... Missed all nails so far!!! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Hahaha this summarises my week last week. Also I've been dismantling some sycs today and got them left as poles to fell tomorrow. There's nails everywhere upto about 15 ft 😣. Wish me luck Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Same as the oregon chain then Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
