I never bought one but it has to be said Husqvarna make the best spec belt going, and if you need anything more than tongs and tape you may as well go the whole hog and get the right tool for the job. Its coming off your tax bill anyway if you're S/E

If you are cutting chestnut in Kent you would have to go like the clappers to do 150 a day, every day. The only way you'd get that kind of wage is by doing firewood as well. The rates are up and down like a donkey's hind leg really

Ok, that's pretty decent of you, I'll get the info by tonight. Though given the cost of the little inverter (50 quid) I'm more than happy since that can be used to charge or power all manner of stuff, on the move. Tried a 4 inch angle grinder on it yesterday, it handled that ok
-
Ok that's confirmed that in theory you lose a little on mpg - I'm able to use recycled veg oil mixed with derv to a degree in my old truck so I'm still coming out more than on top in that respect (and at present that's perfectly legal, before anyone asks!), and I'll be interested to see if the inverter can be used with the vehicle stationary for spells of say up to 30 mins, on one click of the key. As to if what extent that will deplete the two batteries (winter pack), I don't know yet
-
You might have to explain that to me, lol I don't quite follow. If say, I charge any small electric appliance or tool from 12V on the move, how is that not costing less than the mains at home? Particularly given current and projected costs
-
RS stuff is usually quality, this has 3 year warranty. I think it will work fine. As long as outage is over 250, which it is
-
Thanks for replies, the options above are a good start and you've got me thinking along the right lines- the option below is only 50 quid delivered, top quality and 3 year warranty, just bought one RS PRO Modified Sine Wave 300W Power Inverter, 12V dc Input, 230V ac Output | RS UK.RS-ONLINE.COM
-
With electric costs what they are, I'm thinking it will make perfect sense to charge 18V batteries for the 540i from the winter pack 2 battery set up in my 4x4, all that is required is an inverter wired in. It's unlikely I'm going to need to use the inverter for anything with higher requirement so my question is does someone know offhand what sort of output inverter is sensible without going too far up the scale, as the prices of Durite versions for example, are not cheap generally. TIA
-
Not something I've had to think about yet, but I own one and and at some point this will be useful info if someone has done it

Cheers for all replies. Bafflingly the next afternoon I handed it to mate who was going to drop it off at ag merchants, and after a few squeezes it started again. So, iffy trigger of connection somewhere is all

So, I've been running the above saw alongside a 555 for occasional use on chestnut coppice, only using the electric unit for stems up to six maybe 7 inch, and I guess since buying it in April it's scarcely cut an acre (days off, holidays, wet weather all impacting use). I bought it not new new but prior owner had literally bought on a whim, tidied his garden up for a few hours, then sold it to me, with warranty until 2023. Today it made a slightly rattly noise that made me wonder if the sprocket was playing up, and then wouldn't go when trigger squeezed. I have looked to see if there is anything obvious that could stop one of these other than low battery, and drawn a blank so far. Motor failure? If that's the case I doubt I'll buy another, not for the best part of a grand with a few batteries. Just curious if anyone else has put a pro grade electric ground saw through its paces but found that they are not likely to last very long before needing serious attention.

Yes you're right there, it is time to apply as this government seems hell bent on making everything hard work

Going back to Mike Hill's last response, I totally agree that FAC's can't be handed out to just anybody here and that we do have a disproportionately large number of frankly, prats in the UK whom you couldn't trust with a BB gun let alone a HMR round doing a few thousand fps. There was about an hour on R4 the other week about hunting in France and several people have been killed in recent years by over enthusiastic hunters letting loose in the wrong direction, with no backstop - and restrictions on ownership over there are very minimal. Then again, in Scandinavia rifle ownership is high and accidents are I believe largely rare. As food costs rise I like the idea of rabbits or woodies for the table, and I probably will apply for open FAC on air rifles but not even sure I'd get granted that - I think they are getting harder on handing them out.
