Best one I've got is Edward Gilman An Illustrated Guide to Pruning The Educated Climber has put a lot of his stuff online, which is a good companion but I like a book to look at as well https://www.educatedclimber.com/dr-ed-gilman-teaching-series/

If I had to do a pole rescue tomorrow I'd use a Multisaver. Can't remember exactly what we did on the course to be honest.

Or go with single ladder, with a plank tied across the top. Rest it on the hedge.

Get one with 3 adjustable legs, probably be fine with that.

I think yes the core is reduced, the Teufelberger spLIFE is thinner for the same reason.

My aux lever latches up or down, so far flipping it one way or the other for each hose has worked.

Do you have a piston stop for spark plug hole? If you approach from both sides and make a mark then you can find the middle.

Husqvarna are calling it a blade.... Worlds gone mad, maybe they got AI to write the page?

DCS9010 always came with 28" solid nose bar, although I bought secondhand and it was knackered already so never used it. In my mind solid nose used to be more common, maybe sprocket noses weren't as reliable on higher power saws?

I don't know the machine, but a general risk from rebuilding is a slight error eg intake boot not assembled as airtight, then everything is new but as soon as it starts and you get it off choke it's running lean with insufficient lubricant.

Is 30 seconds too quick for an air leak from the rebuild to kill it? Wondering if it was pressure tested before starting, maybe it's scored up?

I was more lucky, when in the market for a 50cc ish saw 15 years ago the chap persuaded me to spend the bit extra and get the 261. Still got it.

Have to think about tracks vs wheels, I think the wheels make less mess of grass but the chinese ones I've seen have been tracked.

It's really hard to predict, for sure. Technology goes in arcs and leaps, we're currently seeing the arc of development of these AI models but I've read a couple of articles about how just doing more of the same is already running out of steam - they've hoovered the pure human internet already and now there's so much AI generated content they risk making a snake eating it's own tail. The big bet is always what the next enabling technology will be, will it catch on or be another dot-com bubble?

It's asked another question, no question mark again, and no awareness that were having a conversation about it being artificial.
