  1. The only pole pruner ive used is the stihl HT 101,it does the job but its quite fagile.Ive dropped one and the telescopic pole bent.It still works but i can only extend it so far. If you intend using one all day id invest in a harness of your choice as its brutal on the shoulders at full extension.
  2. I like the suck through the teeth when pricing a job haha. Good tip thanks:thumbup:
  3. Meripilus giganteus thanks treequip-never looked at the fungi id section on my app.

  10. I had a beard,it grew in ginger,i didnt like it but the wife approved-infact she improved the hell out of me...i had to shave it at the start of the summer,my wife hasnt approved me as briskly as she did before...roll on winter
  11. Its difficult to recommend certain brands or styles as PPE,believe it or not,is a very personal thing.Some might love a certain brand or style of trousers others may hate them because of the fit or style. Best advice is to try on as many types as you can,trousers,gloves,helmets and boots and see what you feel comfortable in. My recomendation is to find whats comfortable and doesnt cook your nuts,catch man glitter rub against your thights etc etc etc. You'll be wearing these items all day in varying weather conditions so make wise choices. Welcome to arbtalk and good luck mate stay safe

  16. Ive got the 181's predessesor the ms 180 and wouldnt part with it. That little saws got me out of so many holes,its payed for itself many times over.I may cry when it finally dies
  17. Silver birch dont like pruning and some die back can occur at the pruning points.Ive always been led to believe summer early autumn is best time to prune,to be honest i couldnt say why. Ive been told they "bleed " a lot but im just quoting what ive been told by more experienced guys than me. Ive heavy pruned pendula's and got away with it

  19. You need your ears checked treequip,all the voices including the voice over are American,if you listen closely you can hear the saw operator curse f@#k as it gets pinched.
  20. Ive used a 201 tc-m 2015 model,gutless piece of dogsh#@,i dunno if it was a lemon cause it went into our mechanic couple of times but its a gamble i personally wouldnt take in buying one. My heart belongs too 020av,but an absolute bitch to service or work on so in my humble experience 200T is king. You have me thinkin of drilling a couple of 8 mil holes in a 200t...hmmmm
  21. I did say ime mick..in my experience and is your 201 stock or is it modded/upgraded
  22. 9 times out of 10 its Americans...they all seem to have a chainsaw or know someone with a chainsaw...who doesnt know how to use it lol
