  1. Did you get it on?🤞
  2. Is this the 3rd thread this hedge has had
  3. My 2511 didn't run very well, new out of the box. I had a little fettle with it, and probably just got lucky. Good saws, when running well.
  4. If he's treating the council with such disregard, what makes you think he's going to treat you any better when the s**t hits the fan?
  5. Don't sound too delighted, when discussing it with the council, they may suspect you had a hand in persuading it 😀
  6. Having read the back story, I may have been a bit hasty with my first response. It might not be straight forward. Still think 'delighted' was a poor choice of words😆
  7. Don't think your neighbour is as delighted as you. That might change though, after a few quotes have come in

    Trucks

    General arb work? Could be a bit more specific.

    Ex-Fleet vans

    Most go through the auctions initially. Nearly all car auctions have a commercial auction monthly
  10. You're not restricting a fuel line when putting the air filter covers back on?
  11. You must have the same technique as me. Knuckle, index finger?
  12. Everyone knows someone that's had a close call/near miss with a chainsaw, surely? So just tick 100% for that box
  13. You might be right. I've got some, somewhere. Can't find it 1050 is in my head, but I can't remember if it was Celsius
  14. You can get motorbike exhaust paint, rated to 1050
  15. Yeah. Seems fair. We do lots of little £200 take downs, that don't take much more than an hour. When it comes to emergency work. The cost of the actual tree work pales into insignificance compared to damage repairs, road closures effect on the economy
  16. The little rats put their own chains on your bike now. So you come back to your bike and can't take it. Then when things are quiet, they come back and do the business
  17. Buying in bulk might not be simple for everyone. The extra storage space, security issues etc
  18. Big Larry. Screwfix
  19. Good stuff👍
  20. Ringing the log to size, maintenance of chainsaw?
  21. I agree. Go for it, then. Still parts available. Just keep a check on how much it's costing you. I'd even say, use pattern parts for some bits. If it's a wrongun, I might be interested. I've got one sat there with a crack in the casing around the oil tank. Otherwise, a good saw
  22. Ms 200 t was a great saw. They stopped making them quite a few years ago now. I think you'll be lucky to find one in good condition. A lot of arborists (myself included) kept hold of them and ran them into the ground. I loved mine. You're probably being offered something like this. They are not a home owners saw, and will have been used and used....
  23. Too good. I'll have it in my dining room, when you've finished with it😂
  24. Bought a mitsubishi pajero from a dealer, over 25 yrs ago. Great car. It was 15 yrs old when I got it. I kept it for 10 yrs. Not a single problem with it. Everything worked on it when I sold it. Only sold it cos it was thirsty. I don't even remember the insurance being particularly bad.
  25. Expensive (Haven't got one)
