Thanks Aspen, He doesn't sell aspen, which is probably why he was lying. [emoji51]

Use aspen. Doesn't smell.

Honestly. Every time I've quoted £2-300 for pruning a huge overgrown apple or pear, I've not heard back. It's a long time consuming job if done correctly.

Environmental vandal (mother in law rant)

Sometimes you have to be the fists/club of karma. That's very real. -

There is something wrong here. I mill with a 48" duromatic bar with no oiler issues. Talk to your dealer.

Job description/What they mean (Just for fun)

Good working order: It won't start. -
Bit nasty, but get a jar of oil and an old paintbrush. Paint the oil into the bar groove liberally. If problem persists, it's really weird. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

STOP!!!! It's a brand new saw. Milling is really the worse thing a saw can do, it gets really hot. You need to break your saw in gently. For about 15-20 tanks. Don't use it for milling until 10 tanks, or you risk damaging the piston and cylinder. Just crosscut using short blasts. I ran mine strapped to a pallet, with a strap on half throttle, turn off let it cool , for a few tanks. There will be noticeable torque difference after about ten tanks which will improve gradually. [emoji106] So your saw head oils fine, but not onto the chain and bar?

Possible problems: How seasoned is the elm? Super hard wood is a bitch. Is the chain tensioned properly? A new chain will need to be re-tensioned several times. Run the machine out of the wood for a minute, is it oiled? Check the oiler is turned up? Oil filter? Oil hole on saw and check bar is clear of gunk. I run a 48" bar on my 880 with a mill. Seasoned ash is a killer, but otherwise no problems oiling. Have you ran the sawhead without bar and cover to see if it oils? Depth gauges? Are they at the correct height to teeth? Oregon chains are good, but need a 10degree camber to sharpen correctly. Different densities of internal wood can mess with the saw also. Let us know how you get on. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

[emoji23] Yep ours was a farm courtyard. Couldn't have visitors for a week. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I've had to dig one up. It was bad. From the house under 10" of concrete, to various grease traps, reservoir, filter bed and out flow pipes. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]

So this year we've got the top 6' from a 50' blue cedar, and a whole clump of mistletoe from a malus removal. Anyone else "recycling" or made something festive? [emoji3][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Merry Christmas Arbers [emoji319][emoji319][emoji319]

A quick google came up with Italian for pond or where water collects.And this:(Had to remove image as bit too wrong)

Anyone know which lubricant oil is in aspen2? A mechanic recently told me he was seeing lots of machines with piston wear after using aspen2. Is this lies?

What about guys who get a huge list of tickets in a few weeks, a fortune in kit, set up their own arb business without any experience? Qualified, insured and completely clueless are more of a hazard. [emoji848][emoji12][emoji106]

Under cut the hinge, saw side slanted. I'm getting sloppy. 960 miles this week. [emoji106]

Duh...

The one on the left. Tree still landed exactly where it should, but ugly ass cut. (It's been a long few weeks of 6day weeks.) [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
