Is that a Landcruiser Prado/Colorado? How did you get on with it? How did the accident happen? Heal well.

I use a Stihl battery chainsaw for cutting firewood. I don't feel like I need to use hearing protection. It's not exactly quiet, but it certainly isn't loud. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I started at 38. Been going a year and half now, but only do two days a week. I very much consider myself a novice but find myself getting better / more efficient / fewer mistakes pretty much on every climb.

Depends on which charger you have though. AP300 battery with AL300 battery 75mins I think Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

They didn't check where I bought mine, though they do know me in there and have bought climbing stuff and a 201 from there too. They didn't check then either.
-
I got one of each AP200 and AP300. This morning was with the smaller battery.

Nice one, just bought it [emoji106]🏻 Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Had the 160 out on these two bad boys out this morning. Both done with three bars of the AP200 battery remaining. That includes chogging down to about head height. Only swapped to the 261 halfway back down the right hand one, the 160 handled everything else just fine. Happy with my purchase.

I'm happy with my 441

Indeed.

What's the music? Sounded a lot like Rage Against The Machine?
-
Yup. Though until I get myself a leccy rear-handled saw, I can see it being used on the ground (at the weekend, in my own time) quite a bit too.

Newbie with boggy unmanaged mostly broadleaf woodland...
Blah replied to Hobby_Woodsman's topic in General chat
I own a similar sized bit of field/woodland, though it's not boggy. It is however on a pretty steep north facing slope. The current tools I use are: Clearing: a Stihl FS400 brushcutter with a shredder blade. Transport: a trackbarrow, which is a half ton walk behind dumper truck type thing. It's slow, but it's much better than carrying stuff out by hand. Inexpensive, nothing to go wrong, and very useful. Also, being tracked, low ground pressure. I certainly have never managed to get it stuck and I use it all year round. Before getting the trackbarrow, I paid a digger man to make a level path across the slope. -
That's what I do. Carry sharp chains, sharpen them at home in the vice.

Here you go, complete with go faster red identification stripes Was brilliant at the weekend, cutting a bit of firewood without having to wear ear protection, or a saw burbling away while moving firewood about. Obviously two hands on the saw at all times
-
Got one on Saturday, very happy with it so far. Thanks for all the reviews/praises/pictures

Do you have the 10 or 12" bar Silky?
-
Also worth mentioning that you need to have passed your driving license pre-97 *in the UK*. I passed mine in Belgium pre-97 and had it converted when I moved to the UK in 2000. I found out that I did not have B+E entitlement after years of towing trailers.
-
Tried both on very recently at Sorbus, Pfanner fit me; Arbortec didn't.

Gransfors Bruks make some of their axe handles for Swedish carving axes from Beech. For a carving axe, that's fine. For a longer splitting axe, probably not so much. Beech is fine for a froe handle because a froe typically gets much less shock load.

I have Cooper AT3s and have no complaints.

Not going to happen, already discussed and he feels he can't absorb the extra cost.

Reviving an old thread here... I've just bought a thing of Aspen for the trimmer and blower I've recently bought, so that'll be fine. I contract 2-3 days a week, and on those days my saws are filled with normal fuel and red Stihl two stroke. Any long term experience of regularly switching between Aspen and conventional fuel? No problem or absolute no-no? Any symptoms I need to look out for?

Do you need a pickup? I drive a late nineties Landcruiser Colorado. They can be picked up for a lot less than £6k, are capable off road and have plenty of space for tools in the back. Tows 2.7 tons.
