    Im not entirely sure how that would go but from personal experience working for my local council authority-some years back a house owner was asked to remove a limb off a tree in there garden which had grown over a public path,when some months past and no action had been taken,the council removed the offending limb and billed the home owner for the work carried out.Perhaps the highway authority would do the same after clearing it with the relevant authorities.

    Ur never too old to train for anything,try to get some casual work-weekends or evenings outwith your normal working hours.Even volunteer labour for free to get some experience. Get your chipper ticket before cs38 its more relevant to groundie work.good luck m8:thumbup1:

    Hi turtlewoods72, Ive been keepin an eye on your predicament and i admire your perseverance even in the face of husky biased adversity,some husky luvers seem to have a sixth sense for the imminent death of a stihl.Since you ve checked everything else out on thd saw it would seem to me the bar is the issue. Keep us posted how u go and laugh along with the husky laughin boys

    Quite an undertaking to remove the oil resevoir to check the feed tube,best bet is youtube mate.goodluck!!
  15. stihlmadasever
    Agree with john newton,although could also be the feeder tube from the oil resevoir to the body of the saw could have a twist or bend in it preventing proper oil pressure being acheived. This sometimes happens at the manufacturing plant. Or just take it back...?
  16. stihlmadasever
    Have you checked the oil feed worm is located properly into the notch on the inside of the sprocket mate?

    Ive ran a zigzag through 13 mm rope with no issues.Can be bit clumsy in smaller trees with dense foliage though-in that situation i go to hitch climber set up.

    Stein do some good hiviz jackets,reasonably priced with zipped vents under each arm..not got cut proof sleeves though and you will eventually still sweat like a porkie kid in a cake shop

    Hi twobyfour, For limb walks keep ur centre of gravity low use your free hand for gripping the branches as you move along the limb.If you dont feel comfortable you can use the free end of your rope to tie in to another anchor point giving you two ropes to steady yourself.Redirects can also help immensley in allowing you to move out further on the limb.The real key is to keep as much weight as possible on your harness-unless its a sturdy limb capable of holding your weight. As for quickfdraws-No go mate,all biners need triple action opening gates.A great investment are endless slings,the uses and applications for these really are endless,amazing cheap pieces of equiptment. I would agree with all that Djvicke1 advised aswell. Hope that helps mate Climb safe
