true story: once upon a time, the end.

option A: spray the squirrals instead of the tree option B: grease the trunk/branches and little blighters slide right off option 3: wait for halloween and get some motion activated spooky-noise things in the tree

not sure i would take a battery saw for the woods, not without some good backup for recharging. id go battery at home where low noise is better and easy recharge. saying that ive not used battery saws so i dont know what kinda cut time you get on them you wont go wrong with the 201/540 as a work saw, just the cost. maybe look for buying a second hand or consider the resale value in a few years once youve cut your wood. second the need for decent ppe. essential.

such a charmer

is it not the point of a forum to post a comment? perhaps you feel youre above having people comment on your self-congratulating posts?

yep, thats the middle of nowhere, right enough

all these fancy chains and hexy chains and things are great until you realise you need to get whole new sprockets and files and stuff and throw out all the spare chains and files you have already

Did anyone mention big companies trying to rip us off?

i think we need to remember a very useful little word and use it more: "no". can i have your email for the paperless receipt? no. do you want to pay 10p for a paper bag for that single tshirt? no. we want you to pay us £500 for your road tax. no. -

i wasnt aware australia even had a "busy season", but i assume that means they all get off their arses and stop sitting on the beach and make some effort to do a days work?

Using a Stihl 2 in 1 file has the rakers set too low
manco replied to KeenButGreen's topic in Chainsaws
very possible its the way youre holding it. easy to put unbalanced pressure on it consider sharpening more often so its more of a touch up and less risk of this happening the way to cut with that chain now is just apply zero pressure when cutting, even hold it back a bit. it will race through anything soft -
i think you lack vision

"rodents in the orchard" arent we meant to call them travellers now?

sounds fine to me. over-confidence can be a severe hazard, even fatal. youve learnt the basic skills. now you need to stick to them and gain experience. measure twice, cut once. go over your aerial rescue procedures a few times though, your mind will go to shit anyway when its the real thing, and seconds count.

consider a good clean with some kinda resin solvent and a little wire brush? ive done mine a few times and its surprising the difference a good clean makes. but that depends on how badly blunted it is.

looks fine that, nicely topped out. whats your problem?
