Yes do try! Its fun:001_tt2: remember to take your husky 540xp to finish the job when the 201 packs in though
-
Havent tried the newer one,the old 201 put me off,the 020av hasnt been matched by still yet imo
-
If you've ever used a 201 in a dead cherry you'll know its gutless
-
Any saws going to perform better with an upgrade,were talking stock saws here no one mentioned upgrades
-
Being a stihl man i hate sayin this but Husky T540Xp. Echo do some great little saws but never used one so i cant comment
-
For me the stihl 201t died when reg coates drove his truck over one cause it was "a gutless piece of s###"
-
Just get rid of it as you would any other hedge cut it and chip/haul it,just be aware of the dangers it poses and stop if you have any adverse reactions.
-
Thanks reg top work,great advice,lots to think about.

Use a chainsaw:001_tt2:

If your working outside well ventilated its fine,its only an issue when your enclosed such as in a lane with high sides or shovelling the stuff in the box fr a while but i have seen some people take a bad skin reaction to it, kinda like red welts on the arms. Just warning people and makin them aware of the potential dangers

And so its coming to that time of year when we raise the canopy on all of our street trees,a hefty proportion of which are common limes,which brings me to my question... Can someone please explain to me why limes are so prone to a lot of Epicormic growth.Try and keep it simple im not blessed in the grey matter department. Thanks all in advance

Indeed one of the above mentioned experts on here

where do you buy your bars and chains from?
stihlmadasever replied to horticultur-al's topic in Chainsaws
Dont get an oregon bar they dont last and rarely stand up to the rigours if daily work as some forestry guys on here will testify too.Sugihara are the brand of guidebar to aim for-awesome bars -
Looks like cypress to me, but which one i ll leave to the experts on here.

Hot and wet here in glasgow,nice if your with your lady-crap to work in

Furry poo! Awesome:laugh1:

Yeah i adviced not to chip in earlier thread due to cyanid in laurel
-
Common has a lovely aniseed aroma when chipped. I suppose its what's more cost effective-hauling or chipping
-
Surely a spruce lower branches would be accessable to get into the tree?
-
Difficult situation,if it was me id use ladders to get as high into the tree as possible,tie in to a solid anchor in a neighbouring tree and ascend by throwing ahead till you have access to the crown.Once you've got a good T.I.P you can move around freely.Failling that have would you consider hiring a MEWP?Avoid spiking any tree thats not to be removed. Hope that helps good luck
-
What type of laurel is it,bay,portugese or common?
-
Ive chipped laurels before although its recommended not to as its poisonous.Cyanide is produced in the sap especially when burned but also when chipped and a vapour comes from it.
