  1. I would say it’s more like a larger 150 and lighter than a 200, my wrists certainly thank me for it, but I tend to get a back handled saw (550xp) up the tree asap nowadays.
  2. I bought one as a back up saw, at under €400, it comes with a 3/8 picco bar/chain set up here, usually 1/4 pitch in the UK. It’s not a bad saw overall after a couple of tweaks, got it set up with a 1/4 pitch Panther bar and a set of skeleton metal dogs from Rob D.
  3. Thanks for the bullshit update, but no one on here gives a flying f**k.
  4. Have you actually got anything relevant to say on any topic on any thread? I am struggling to remember a Arbtalk member more tedious.
  5. Cant even put the saw strop on right, and as for that carpet. 🤦‍♂️
  6. Cut the worst of it away from the stumps so it can’t wrap around the wheel and check for old concrete post stumps with reinforcement. Any decent grinder (certainly not the one in the photo) will rip those stumps to shreds, the wire won’t be an issue as long as you are operating the machine in the recommended work position.
  7. Just get a customsaws Echo 2511 and be done with it. 👍
  8. So what did you mean to say when you wrote this, as it seems like a straightforward statement?
  9. You been on the crack? I haven’t said anything of the sort, I haven’t mentioned good quality meat at any point in this discussion, shit quality cheap meat and its production/ consumption, yes. You said that it’s not possible to sustain a human on fruit and vegetables, you are wrong, it is possible and is happening in its millions right now.
  10. Total bollocks. The whole world wasn’t covered in Ice and the majority of people didn’t live in the poles. The vast majority of India, and that’s a lot of millions are strict Vegetarians, sustained totally on fruit and veg, my Doctor is one, you should do some research👍.
  11. You can’t even have a discussion about the modern meat industry without someone going in the attack, usually attacking some imaginary vegan who doesn’t even exist. Militant Meat eaters who have swallowed decades of meat industry propaganda, who’s conscience is pricked and go on the defensive. It always seems to be worse with people who don’t hunt, hunters generally get it.
  12. Why, was there a famine on all other edible foods for thousands of years except meat in the paleolithic age?
