Would I use them? No, I don't regret the money I spent on the multisaver. Apart from the carabiner, there is a risk of the prussic slipping so I would at least put a figure 8 on the tail. Multisaver covers this with second ring.
-
I think that's a tricky one. I've seen a few adverts of people selling all the gear, but as a business it would come down to finding someone local willing to give you money for the customer list. If they don't pay for the list they just up the advertising budget and collect the customers anyway....

It sounds as the solenoid is working but the relay is dicky, flickering isn't right. Most plugin relay problems (chipper or not) are with the connections, may be able to clean or just replace to be sure, and check contacts are tight. It is also possible it's a wiring break or even the connection to the solenoid of course, but you have to change one thing and see how it goes to track down the fault.

Personally I would cut low, I would rather any funny business with breaking hinges, splitting or snapping trigger straps is nearer my feet than my face. I will also say that Dogstooth cut doesn't guarantee success, as it requires you to judge how much dead (maybe slightly decayed) timber it takes to hold the tree up and if you don't quite leave enough it will suddenly go with a bang. Having tried to give advice/opinion, I think you should definitely be aware there is a massive amount of tension in that timber which is prone to split (ash) and weakened since it's dead. If it snaps off or splits upwards it is liable to turn lethal very quickly, that is why people are suggesting to get someone in. Climbing and piecing it down could be safer, difficult to tell from photos.

Sorry, have got a Kombi but never dismantled it. Is number 16 loctite or grease? Could be number 6 is loctited on?
-
Have to agree it's not clamping. Another idea - one of the studs on my secondhand saw had been stretched be overtightening, as the threads are now a bit too far apart on that part the nut goes tight before pulling down onto the bar so I have a couple of washers behind it. One other thought, is the sprocket definitely ok as maybe if that sticks then the chain would pull in on the bar? Can you borrow or swap the bar to test?

I thought Orange Plant were hiring JoBeau but don't seem to see it and there's an M400 listed as for sale so I wonder if they gave up. Maybe give them a ring?
-
Eggs, are you selling to private individuals or businesses? If private then without the written quote you are also in danger of falling foul of Consumer Contract regulations as there are certain things you're obliged to inform customers. Easy T&C on all quotes once it's written but keeps everything covered.

Having seen this thread I'm now seeing blackthorn everywhere. Cambridgeshire.

Usually you take screws out of tightening holes and put them back in the other holes, tighten, tap it, swear, and it jumps off. Google remove taper lock pulley, plenty of guides.
-
I can't see properly in the picture but is it a taper lock pulley? That's what they use on the drum on my JoBeau chipper.

Lad working with us just before Christmas had done the exact same thing. Maybe it should be a part of CS30 as it's the most common chainsaw injury I've actually seen.
-
There is a 44 at the beginning of the number on both piston and cylinder, think German logic would have that as a 44mm?
-
Hope you do get it back Mark, it's just a bastard when stuff is nicked and costs you a load of money and inconvenience. Especially galling after having all that work done on it. Good point about insurance, I need to tell mine about your old stump grinder which is working very nicely thank you.
-
Maybe get the small genny for chargers lights etc and then get petrol powered versions of the bigger items such as pressure washer? Quick look for petrol pressure washer starting around the £200 mark.
-
Maybe grab lorry, loading would be the issue otherwise. Or like Steve says drop off a bin first.
-
Can you get the battery company to arrange collection? They must have an arrangement I guess.
-
More seriously, interesting that they market this for spiking on poles and say it can be used as a cambium saver as an aside. Basically the same as a multisaver which is sold as a cambium saver but can also be used on poles as an aside.
-
Still got the moustache too!

I went in the shop for a 241 but was talked into the 261 years ago, never regretted it. If you don't have a special reason to get as light as possible then it's not a lot more cost or weight for the 261 but a good step up in power. If you are only going to have one saw then I would say 50cc but for those larger stems a second bigger saw will make sense. I have also a 365 on 18" bar for the reasons as above, it's a lot of saw for the money.
-
Sachs Dolmar 112, Dolmar 6000i 150t, 201t, 261, 461 365 Enough. Or should I buy a 390 while I still can?
-
That right there, that's the top of the slippery slope. Two saws sounds plenty, then you get one more, then just one more......
-
Good point, bonfire is actually the cheapest option but depending on where you live may not be permissible.
-
I'd go with planting replacements now and felling later, reductions for me are for when trees outgrow the position and these have plenty of space.

The who can get most outraged at bad treework thread.

Town made me laugh too, don't even have a pub or shop in the village any more.
