Wonky

I’ve learnt not to use the Dylan button on all my saws.🤔 think about it 🤪

Looks like a fuso canter which can take that and has a bit to spare

There’s quite a bit of info around the interwebs inc f-book. I’d be weary of some of there claims thou. as for import duties you'd be paying vat on the whole price of the saw & porting work inc shipping 🤔🙄 which is a darn large amount to fly a few kg from the other side of the the sea. the only thing I would be shipping from the USA would be a ported cylinder & piston. As i once had a 25” GB 3/8 0.50 bar shipped from a guy who kindly marked down the value as $20 so there were no import duty, it still cost £80 to ship it 😱 I’d personally be looking at what @Crocky could do first, 😉👍.

I don’t think that’s Square filing. that looks abit more like stihl's hexa. t

Yes I do similar stuff with locks & keys, as I’ve locked myself out of things before. and always put keys somewhere and take a mental note. Ie not being distracted at the time, if I have to give the keys to someone else then I make it clear I’ve given them the keys and they have to give them back etc. i can’t stand looking for keys that someone else has in there coat pocket 🤔🙄

I don’t think it matters that much how old the battery is, there 3 things that kills batteries. 1, being flat, ie being below 11.5 volts. 2, not charging at the “amps” the battery is capable of to reach the full state of charge. What is the out put of the machine…? to be clear on this. You could start a battery many times in a day but the amps required to charge the discharge that starting requires is never met.. thus a slowly flat battery. And it’s fooked later. 3, a slow drain will kill a battery. And Remember in lockdown how many peeps were charging car batteries with leads to cars or just running cars to charge them. That’s cos cars and there computers (ecu's) slowly discharge the batteries.. as well as all batteries slowly discharge anyway..

Those with the stihl chain grinders can add this wheel to the list and save the file a little 😉 but when I found it , I don’t remember if it was available in the uk 🙄 but I see it is after looking for it 👍😉 Stihl Grinding wheel for 3/8" Hexa | Mowers2Go WWW.MOWERS2GO.CO.UK Buy the Stihl Grinding wheel for 3/8" Hexa here at the best price.

That’s what bucking billy found out 🤔🙄😉 not that I watch hardly any of his stuff, i was just interested in the 500i he posted up

As you will have gathered, a lot of peeps have there favourite oil and ratio, albeit oem spec etc. well as @openspaceman said in not so many words, 2strokes have been around for a long time and oils were different then. Smelly and polluting 🤔🙄 todays oils are better and have to meet current legislations. But there are many older 2strokes still around ( if your old/new 2stroke requires a particular oil then take note) and choose the oil best for that 2stroke. for those newer 2strokes they may want synthetic but the person may like the older mineral 2stroke oil. But the thing I learned the hard way is . Mineral and synthetic oils, there not just a swap oil and your good to go type oil. The reason is, mineral oil adds to the combustion where as synthetic don’t. To be clear.. tune a older 2stroke to mineral oil and then just mix a synthetic oil with fuel it will be lean and will seize but in your mtronic 2stroke it will adjust the mixture for you. I think bucking billy found this out in his recent 500i vids at what ever ratio it was recommended to him. however, if you read this …. As it was what your reply was about.. yes a long read.. 🤠 and if you Google the same title you with get other links that will give you hrs of reading. most importantly thou, everyone has their choice. Your choice is to understand why they think there’s is best and yours is not 😉 So what's the current Two stroke oil favorite for | Arborist, Chainsaw & Tree Work Forum WWW.ARBORISTSITE.COM I'm not trying to start an oil war or super long post but I know there is a good chance I do. I need to buy some more and...

But a lot will only use most 2stroke oils @40:1 (insert there oil of choice here)

My views are different 😉👍

Whichy elm 😉

This. Reminds me of one of reg"s vids over a yr ago. Although there are others on the net…. Remember I’m not saying who’s right or wrong… as every tree needs its tlc to do the job intended . No damage/complications and tree on the floor is what we all aim for. Your vid is good,,, and a good start for anyone needing to know the basics… it’s starts about 7:29 but the whole vid is worth the watch, but those reg subs will know and already seen it 😉

Afaik, all are not covered by a top , it’s just you have to let them know what you intend to do. And if they don’t reply in 6wks or whatever the time frame is, you can crack on and do the work.. but I’m sure you can easily look it all up 😉

I just want to throw it out “for the discussion” ….. so would bracing be sufficient in the eyes of the TO, rather than remove,, I know it’s a can of worms… but like most things we all have different ways of doing things… and I know could/should give a better example/description.. and I think I know partial the answers I will get.. ie… if you can justify why it got removed,, then your in the clear…🤔

I have only 2 problems with chains while milling the 2nd chain broke after hitting nails after nails. I'd lost about 8 or 10 cutters on this 25” chain before it finally let go..🤔 so I can’t blame the chain. the 1st time I was lucky to spot while sharpening it and before it let go. yes this Oregon 18” chain was on the joining link, so Its the fault of the person/company that spun the loop up.

What did you do to the 440. If you don’t mind me asking 😉 I got a 10mm I’d like to enhance a bit more 👍

I will add, it’s hard to start a top handed saw with your foot in the Handle of a saw whilst in a tree. also whilst on the ground…so I start all my saws as I see fit, as I know what they need and like 😉

They teach the heel method in the basic crosscutting & felling, as those toecaps on the boots only fit in the cheeks of butt 😬

I think you mean the pto side, that’s the seal that tends to go first. i would also check the impulse. But if it’s old as.. it may be good insurance to change both (edit) seals that little one can be a pain to get out though.

You may get a personal answer of what to do if you message bob on here . Just type in the search bar job kirklees, your see bob advertising jobs at Kirklees..😉 although the last time he was here was 27th april🤔

I’d buy a new tip, and chalk it up as a lesson learnt. if it goes pop while milling, you will be cussing. btw there were a few lopro tips popping and chains braking… it’s not what you really want to have to deal with while milling. I had a std 3/8 chain snap while milling in the cut due to nails.🙄 I prefer everything to go smoothly now as it could snapped while just getting in the cut where I’d have been very close to the chain.🤔

Yes I agree with you,👍 but there are still a lot of unknowns, so it difficult to come to a real conclusion of how the task would best be tackled. there is this thread, worth a quick read And I’m just saying, because they are ash die back trees it could be a simple box ticking exercise, this is from gov.uk is a change from 8nov21 limited number of felling licence applications directly related to the management of tree pests and diseases may be exempt from being included on the Public Consultation Register before the trees are felled, where the Forestry Commission deem that tree felling needs to be expedited for an overriding biosecurity or public safety benefit. The change will come into effect from 8 November 2021 and will be applied by the Forestry Commission to very specific situations, for example to prevent the spread of quarantine pests or diseases, such as Ips typographus (spruce bark beetle), or to facilitate the prompt removal of ash trees infected with ash dieback and growing within falling distance of roads. It does not impact on other conditions related to the issuing of felling licences, such as the need to restock. The outcome of all felling licence applications will continue to be published on the Forestry Commission Decision Public Register, for public record.

I'm not sure you would need a felling license, when the trees have a disease and are possibly a danger to the public, however we don’t know the size of the trees and what volume it would add up to.

I made two of these for a community allotment. They already had two older ones and well rotten in places. i had the choice of which one to copy as they were both different.. as Gimlet said one was difficult to get in and out. So I didn’t copy that one. the other thing is having the legs at the correct angle so there positioned under the seat, sometimes people sit on one side and this would make it unstable if the legs not under the seat. 🤔
