    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
  3. Tree monkey 1682
    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 !
  11. Tree monkey 1682
    Was that the incident where a poplar chucked a limb? These incidents seem to happen more and more

    That's some weight for cedar

    I was lucky once , I was a fat bugger 14 stone due to medication ,I was about 12 messing around on a willow tree guess crack willow on a limb that was 2ft round ...it sheared/failed and dumped me in a river luckily it didn't pin me under the water.... . It could have gone the other way. I'm not sure if dynamic or static loading makes a difference or if trees just get to a failure point .. if x weight gets put on it then it's going to fail no matter what . It is just shit that it happened when kids were on it playing on it . Bloody poor tree stock management ....

    Councils are too slow felling old,dangerous trees... Can think of about 3-4 incidents of children being injured or fatally ..due to trees that should of been removed. Get over it ,it's a tree,trees get old,weak and fail. Does make u wonder how the weight of a few children makes a limb fail .

    Pathetic, it's not my fault that stihl in Surrey has a German technical advisor called hans . At the end of the day it's meant to be a forum ...it's not my fault I've upset a woke ,net zero bunch of lovies. I used what I've found best if I've tried battery and found it to be shite...then so be it.Equally if it works for you that's fine but it's as I've found them ..and I won't convert to battery ..il stick to aspen and we'll maintained equipment .
  16. Tree monkey 1682
    When I last spoke to hans like I said in stihls tech department the were saying they never could match petrol power .just wasn't possible .
  17. Tree monkey 1682
    That's your opinion ,I'd not wanna use battery as I think they're crap . According to hans at still technical in Surrey..they won't ever be able to fully replace petrol chainsaws ....
  18. Tree monkey 1682
    Well you'd look a dick going to a customer oh can I charge my battery halfway through a job .
  19. Tree monkey 1682
    Used a battery saw at the nptc training centre, I can't say I'd use anything battery ,noisey ,slow and bulky.... then u have the hassle if it fell out of the tree...and have u got enough charge to do the job or keep going . Probably excellent for a part time gardener/landscaper. Then thes the hassle of ♻️ and trashing of the earth for unique elements ..😐 Don't know why they don't force everyone onto aspen and bio oil . Problem solved

    Don't think so bud ,I might be completely wrong ...but by the time uk docs find out what it is ...most of the time it's too late as it often behaves like a regular fever .. nothing distinctive
  21. Tree monkey 1682
    Quickly do it whilst thes no one in the house ! ,if thes a chain link fence in there .then that would be your boundary... Did a tree once like that in north Dorset..the person still alive footed the bill and no one seemed to mind .
  22. Tree monkey 1682
    Thes a few old 353, 365, 372 xps and 395s around , there new but I don't buy the it's made in Brazil, after all the Chinese copy anything ..but I'd not know what to look for...I'm glad I kept my efco 199 as the doesn't seen any clones of it !
  23. Tree monkey 1682
    I used a mates fag and it let go head and all
  24. Tree monkey 1682
    It's a shit way to go,someone local to me had developed it after going to Glastonbury think 36 months later and he was dead from it ...slow and painful way to go...often mistaken for a fever .. Good article and comment
  25. Tree monkey 1682
    None of my comments have called u an idiot 🙄
