All the deadwood from my Oak field margins is cut and stacked as bug burrows, I call them cold bonfires as they eventually decay to nothing. This time of the year I am always taking toads, frogs and newts out of the chlorinated swimming pool water and transferring them to a small natural pond. As a sideways comment on nature the charming grey squirrels have just eaten through the leadwork on the chimneys of my sons house.

Hi openspaceman, were you based near Woking in 86 as a good friend of mine used one in Mayford around that time.

Easy, He shouldn't have been using the telehandler,he should have tied three ladders together (preferably metal as there are power lines nearby). Baling twine would do the job just fine.

No, not me, It just reminded me of past situations that I have hacked my way out of. (Including selling a B100 Drott. to a guy who promised to bring me the balance owing on Monday).

He seems a nice bloke, I would repair the saws, give them back to him and ask him to post you a cheque.

A banksman with a yellow vest whilst you are crossing land accessible to the public would be a good idea.

Try 30:1 as the more oil you put in the weaker the fuel air mix becomes. You might find that the pickup improves.

How about a local model engineering society? It's just the sort of challenge they enjoy. As a machining job it is not that difficult.

The type that mount on your excavator are all to easy to steal. -
Fids are used mainly for rope splicing,but are handy for teasing locked knots apart.

It's called a Fid. Try a boat chandler.

Looks great, I hope the sweat from your brow did not corrode your equipment. (Any of it).

Can be a hose that has partially collapsed through a kink. Had the same sort of problem on my Kubota 2400. Not at 50kph though.

Tiredness can cause accidents (as we all know).

I think that I will stay south of the Thames just in case he's not joking.

Hi have the same trouble (Also L200/Ifor Williams)although mine is the rear fog playing tricks.Caused apparently by a faulty relay.

You could also use Plastigauge. It is useful stuff for measuring all sorts of clearances.

If it is on the end weld it might be possible to drill and tap it for a small plug.

You are running a 5/16 pitch sprocket with a 3/8 pitch chain,so change one or the other. You might have a problem finding a sprocket to suit that saw however.

Take the bloomin plug out!

I agree,just done some 60' conifers with a 1.5 ton Hanix. Took about 3/4 of an hour per stump. I felled about 5' up to get a bit of leverage,pull a bit then dig a bit.I used a 12" bucket with a single tooth. (My digger by the way,so I was not giving it a lot of stick). Cleaned and moved the stumps o.k. with bucket and blade,on the fire and gone.

I've got a couple of Homelites dating back to the 1960's,one red tother is blue,one of which is still in use.(150db and no chain brake) 18" bar and goes like a goodun. So I think your saw is a Craftsman.

There might also be issues with site stability due to groundwater changes caused by tree removal.
