stihl x-light i think
-
sounds like you want a silky. or a gta if you really insist on a chainsaw.

im wary of everyone jumping to conclusions here. theres very little detail given on how the saw came into contact with the finger. sounds like it is one or both at fault, but not enough detail to assume who. could be that one reached into the cutting zone, could be the saw jumped, could be the saw was swung carelessly. usual practice is stay away from the big noisy sharp cutty thing. 5m distance is standard guidelines from what i know, but i think is a little tricky in a domestic setting a physical barrier between workers seems excessive, anyone on site should know the safety principles or shouldnt be on site. sadly it does usually come down to operator behaviour at fault. but some wise-ass will always turn it onto management and it becomes their fault for not enforcing procedure.

i got told the early 800s had big issues, i think it was a vibration issue, later models had been fixed

eco-mentalist nutjob, who would almost certainly be the first to kick up a fuss and demand the council does something if a dead branch had fallen off the tree. lock her in a padded room with a mirror so she can shout at her own reflection

Rubbing branches - to remove or not to remove?
manco replied to TaxusBaccata's topic in Tree health care
depends on the tree and where they are some will form a natural brace some will result in a weak branch more likely to fail -
cue a long list of people each swearing by a different pair of trousers and marvelling at how long they lasted most are about 300 quid these days

Your ariel rescue turns up with no climbing kit
manco replied to thebeardeddove's topic in Picture Forum
question: how much use do people feel a rescue climber really is in the event of any major incident in the tree? major cut to neck/ face/ underarm, youve got about 2 minutes, can your climber get to you that fast? anything smaller you can maybe bring yourself down or slice your main line free and be lowered off like a log? any thoughts? -
cyclists deserve it, let them through and aim for them

What would you hope to find in little chainsaw shop?hop?
manco replied to peds's topic in General chat
too much range for them to make it profitable if theyre small best sticking to the smaller accessory stuff like fliplines, carabiners, maybe a rope or two, selection of slings, chainsaw straps, a few of the more popular silky blades? could take a chance on whatever happens to be the fashionable harness or two. -
well im glad im not the only one wearing those. mine a red though.

chainsaw boots to climb. always have done so dont know any different. one pair of boots for the day, as long as theyre comfortable i dont see theres gonna be a problem. there are some designed with climbers in mind.

oh god not this prick again
-
i cant see clearly where the fences are or the general layout so im basing my opinions on it having a good clear fell if that tree hadnt caught it on that basis id be up the second tree dropping the tips off the fallen one, until tidied back to contact points, and clear to fall once that contact point is cut. i also dont know your experience level with felling, but im looking at that and seeing the chainsaw getting pinched if youre not careful.
-
first question, does it actually need to come down? in woodland probably away from public access? second, guessing climbing the one to the right to free it to fall is out then? non climber? or no falling space? your plan looks ballsy, but possible with care
