Pointless now , green energy wank has pushed up the price of raw materials for firewood ..I don't know how people make living off it ? We used to do firewood but deemed it pointless 14 years ago

I've just never seen the point of front protection if your climbing etc ..

Only ever use all round protection ...I've never had a a hit with a saw touch wood, If you don't have full protection...what's the point of wearing ppl?

They are very good, I've never nicked a pair and would rather these than trousers ,I expect to be shot down soon , but I've never cut arms or wrists , and yes I've done every discipline of Arboriculture and some fair sized takedowns .. However I've seen certain guys bragging how many cuts he had on his arms at the last lv/hv induction at Berkshire was amazing he still had function of his hand . Also one former boss slipped with a sliky after saying top handles are dangerous ..9 stitches later ..they'd have stopped that . £70 a pair and they'll save the damage to your forearms. I've never needed them but should I need them there on. Dunno why the hse ,arb association (seems they like to meddle with stuff ) And utility companies don't enforce the use of them. I expect the will be some one who will winge or have a go .

I looked at while ago at the avant ,skidsteer varient ...good lift on it also ...

I'm sure the same was said about asbestos ....that didn't go well either

Wouldn't use it as a chopping block. Known for being a carcinogenic wood

East anglia 🤣

Poor guy .. living in Norfolk.... they are all nuts up there ....

I'd also find out which dealer has the nearest support network to you also ...some fitters are miles away and also charge a stupid callout fee .. and a hourly rate , getting wearing out spares easily is also another problem... also has either one got a better option -like hydraulic oil cooler ...sound stupid but if the oils getting too hot you'll end up with weepy rams and that's down time ..

If you were in Dorset I'd have laid on the hook bins

Aspen do bio oil that's thinner and would flush it out ,aspen 2 in the fuel tank to clear that out if he's fkd up like my groundy did. I myself have put diesel in a efco 131 chainsaw and still ran on it ..that was the bosses fault for putting everything in 20l green cans in a dark garage unclearly labelled.. That was my f up though ...but hevshouldnt have been a knob!

Learn not to lend tools out, as above or use aspen ,my ground once did the same thing 🤣

I quickly read it ,as I was thinking of another incident that happened in a London park with a poplar ,unless they got it confused with this !

Was that the incident where a poplar chucked a limb? These incidents seem to happen more and more
