  1. Can I second that. Just got my saw back. He's done a spot on job!
  2. Wind both in fully. Then come out 1- 1.25 turns. If it runs warm it up and try tuning. But as everyone is saying, don't expect success. It will probably end up frustrating the hell out of you.
  3. Not even sure that can be described as an attempt at a fell.
  4. Other way round with me. They usually pitch a tent and all get round a bong waiting for me to get ser up
  5. Ha ha, no! Are you after a refund?
  6. Ok. Different ways of doing things I suppose. For me, first aid/whistle on harness, and I don't smoke in the tree. Lying about the whistle. That's in the cup holder in the van, where its been for 30 years
  7. Arbotec asked me for some feedback once. I suggested a climbing specific chainsaw trousers, with no pockets, because that was the first place they would snag and rip. Totally ignored me, nothing new there!
  8. Exactly! Nothing that can't be left in the van
  9. What do you put in all your pockets? Serious question. I've got a pair with 5 pockets. Can't think what I could possibly fill them with
  10. I don't know why chainsaw trs need so many pockets
  11. Agree. Looks very like some drift wood I saw come in on a high spring tide, last month. Someone with an artistic flare might do something with it.
  12. I had a bit of time on my hands a couple of years ago. I asked the insurance Co. to break down the premium into what I was actually paying for. Not a clue. I'm sure they just make it up.

    Same. I'd probably class myself as very mediocre! Bit like Everton. I've been facing relegation for the last couple of seasons.

    Bit rough

    I think you're right. There was 2 bins out of 5 like that. We were clearing the site next door, came across needles etc!

    Might not be in thebest part of town today
  16. I've killed one, reducing it. Think it was a relief to all involved.
  17. I have 3 phase, but not logosol mill, just alaskan. Not going to try rigging something up, for the amount I mill. Neighbours will just have to put up with the 660 running full tilt occasionally. I'm sure they hate me anyway!
  18. Are there any corded electric chainsaws capable of milling up to 20" planks. Would ripping chains and bars be an issue sourcing? Reason I'm asking. I occasionally take a stem from a job back to the yard and would like to reduce noise levels milling it.
  19. Saw it on the news when it initially happened. Not heard anything since. What was the cause?
  20. Answered no to the first question, 'have you heard of the green sector?', so all the other answers were guess work.
  21. If all you are after is a workhorse, transit tipper gets my vote. Cheap to fix and maintain, as reliable as most options. Get a fair amount in one. Personally, I'd go for a tool box. Tools in cab, always gassing off, hedgetrimmiers seem to be the worst culprit for that. Of course you might need seats for crew? And off road, (transits really don't like off roading) you'll need 4x4. But if you don't, it's an unnecessary expense, but if you can find a 3.5t 4x4 and can afford it, go for it
  22. Over 20 yrs since I've had a scheisling, but haven't they ģot a split shaft, with a cush drive. Could the problem be around that area?
