  1. I use a 261 on 16" bar most days,its the newer cm models,great saws no issues,plenty of grunt. I used a husky 560xp just the other day and it flew,absolute demon of a saw.More power than the 550 but i dont know of the lifespan of the 560 or if theyre problematic.
  2. Yeah makes perfect sense marc thanks. I ll try that and see if the biner opens.
  3. Hi folks,Had our kits lolered yesterday and had a failure with a dmm oval biner due to a "soft lock". Any loler guys fancy giving me the explination to that one. Ive tried the biner and its seems fine to us,all triple locks functioning fine id say.The biner was on my side strop,so it does get used a lot. We dont get to speak to our loler inspector so im perplexed on this one. Thanks in advance.
  4. I am human and i need to be loved Just like everybody else does Classic smiths..
  5. HSE say a rescue climber should be on site if aerial tree operations are to take place. Ive solo work climbed,im a adult,i know the risks. Id say its up to the individual to assess the situation. Havent watched the vid yet,still to catch up with August hunicke"s latest.sorry Reg-i ll check yours next
  6. I got the vertex vent perspex vizor,supposed to be scratch proof-it aint and its shite in the wet. It lasted a week,back to goggles or a mesh visor when chipping.
  7. Butt plugs...if memory serves...
  8. Ive been reading some pretty disturbing stuff about cooking with tinfoil lately steve. Heres a link Look into it mate https://saveourbones.com/stop-doing-this-with-aluminum-foil/#
  9. Yes-most suppliers sell a kit,helmet,visor and eardefenders.If your using a chipper id recommend sordin eardefenders for good protection
  10. Didnt he hold the guiness book of records for the longest title for an album -"introducing the hardline according to terrence trent darby" I quite liked that album
  11. Husky technical helmet is by far the most robust ground helmet ive had.we use the petzl vertex vent with sordin eardefenders for climbing. Being a council monkey we need to have 2 helmets as recommended by the bellends at HSE. If your lookin at gettin into climbing just get the petzl. Its a good lid
  12. Just glad it aint Rick Astley. Terrence Trent Darby was a boxer before he was a singer. Just sayin...

  14. Nowt wrong with being a skinny bitch joe,im a skinny bitch too. My wifes a 32 A cup and her tits are still bigger than mine. Shes got a great arse though...
  15. I dont bother,biggest rip off goin in arboriculture imo. The chainbrake protects your hand in the event of a kickback,your trigger hand is protected by the handle guard and the chain catcher stops the chain coming back at your hand in the event of a derail... As an added bonus much of these gloves are made of goat leather...lovely soft stuff that when it gets wet is slippery as #@*#. You need a pair for ground chainsaw courses but thats it. Sorry mate rant over
  16. To be fair your built like a brick shithouse,joes built like 12 year old filipino girl on a diet! No offence...
  17. I like to have a running saw sent up joe,but i know what your sayin,nearly chucked a couple of saws due to non starting aloft.
  18. You thinking clutch spring snapped perhaps?
  19. Universally known as the 'poof button'
  20. Take out the spark plug and pull it over to see if any water comes out
  21. When you say wash it out what did u do exactly and what did you use to wash it with mate?
  22. Is that a pre mix 2 stroke? If it is it ll be 50:1 ratio but ive always run my new saws on a richer mix 40:1 for the first 5 tanks till the parts bed in. Even running it on 50:1 out the box shouldnt make it difficult to turn over though
  23. Did you use 2 stroke in the mix,if you did at what ratio?
