    If your maintenance up is up to scratch and regularly done then there shouldnt be any issues.Guide bars do wear out in time,check the bar for burrs and make sure the rails arent splaying by using a square edge on it. All of the other replys are good tips too.A good maintenance routine is key to good woodchips

    Yeah i wasnt commenting on the halfwit up a ladder in the picture,just on the comment about the type of tools he used. But your absoloutly right bumble b,the guys an accident waiting to happen

    Surely the manufacturer would have some sort of recomendations in such a scenario.

    What tools do you associate with professional users? Doesnt matter what brand label is on your equipment,its the professional approach to the job that counts.

    Very true,its a habit fr me to leave my zigzag attached on to my rope as its not midline attachable.So to properly inspect the device it will have to be fully removed.A pain in the arse but a nessesity now ive read this post! Ropes,harnesses and hitch cords are easier to inspect,and we do this daily anyway
  12. stihlmadasever
    Your right,no questions asked,but really how many climbers do this every day-in truth probably very few
  13. stihlmadasever
    I d recommend the zigzag as the problems are with the mk1 and 2,mk 3 seem to be ok so far.Hope they hold up-although i ll be inspecting mine pre + post climb-every time.

    Being a tight arsed scotsman myself i totally understand your tight yorkshireman-ness ha! As for the husky/stihl debate that will trundle on forever,along with a the dolmar/echo debate aswell! Your absoloutly right-buying a chainsaw-especially your 1st decent saw is a bloody nightmare-especially when everyone has a well meaning but different opinion on the subject. My bottom line advice is get mid range saw-power wise-for an affordable price.Everything else will follow in time,preference wise anyway. As for your Mrs-your right-keep her happy....and keep your tackle where its supposed to be!

    Honestly ive never used huskys but thats not too say im against them in any way.Saws are personal preference of the individual,different strokes for different folks and all that. Purley in financial terms the guts of 100 quid seems a lot for little difference in spec to me,as i say im no expert just wouldnt recommend the 171 or 181 to anyone. Sorry ive got too ask why has the mrs got a say? The minute i say chainsaw my better half rolls her eyes and switches off...which sometimes is a good thing!

    Is this the zz mk3?

    Congrats on great thread silky,i check on your updates daily. Great photos and commentry.congrats on the brother or sister fr oscar.Is this the longest running thread?Keep it up mate

    Fair comment but the older stihls are really easy to service and fix up if needs be,a service kit for a ms180 is about £40. Now im not really that mechanically minded but ive managed to pick up enough info of youtube and advice of others likeminded to service an older saw,they really are straight forward.Also the more you learn on an older saw you can apply to a future purchase when your ready for an upgrade.
  21. stihlmadasever
    Ive used both stihls-171/181,and didnt like either.Have you concidered an echo chainsaw.There are some threads on these pages raving about there pulling power and longevity.If at all possible concider an older stihl,ive had a ms180 for donkeys years and its saved the day many a time when my "newer/better"saws have chucked it.worth thinkin about imo
  22. stihlmadasever
    Bang on mick,as a company if you sub contract work out your insurance has to cover anyone working under the company umbrella ie subbies and your own staff-of course. It would benefit a subbie to have his/her own insurance cover so they can take on there own jobs aswell though.

    Whats next having to produce your cs30/31 to buy some crap chainsaw at B&Q? Anyone can get a top handled saw off ebay,no questions asked.I appreciate the intention of regulatory bodies but were adults,let us buy what we want.
  25. stihlmadasever
    Yeah gutted!
