    Valorbe files, are great when u can get them, better than oregon /stihl and other brands , they dont glaze like the rest and stihl files are shorter in length

    I used to do it for fun , with a fiskars billihook, axe and bahco 10" bowsaw way before I was allowed to use a chainsaw , I cant remember metre rates now alot of it depends on where you are in the UK i guess. Whats the max diameter of stems u think is in the hedge

    Jees when were made in Japan? Or end of production run? Last time I brought anything on Honda it was made in Thailand and was shite . Even gently put on a gp trailer via a ramp and it would plaster the bloody spark plug with oil. Such temperamental shite .

    Think the problem is , saws aren't what they used to be , fuel isn't the same , chains and bars aren't what they used to be . If im thinking correctly the sthil rescue saw was based on a ms 460, Sthils always have been slower cutters, and husqvarna have been quicker. But most firms run mixed fleets of saws, not one model is great any more .

    Better than old school Honda, Honda isn't good at all
  14. Tree monkey 1682
    Ive always been lucky or unlucky you could say , the next pick up was fitted with rops as it came out of landrover , didnt fancy that again
  15. Tree monkey 1682
    I rolled one 3 times, had a ten ton shackle in the footwell and an 020t chainsaw ,no scratches or injury on me . No roll cage or anything like that, im still here ,normal also , that was in a td5 truck cab -
  16. Tree monkey 1682
    F me , your quite right, they are reworked defenders as opposed to new old stock ,on the jlr sight it says nothing about overhauled , reworked or rebuilt landrovers, however u go to a different page and theyre the things are !. No i wouldn't pay upwards of 200k for some0ne else's sloppy seconds .
  17. Tree monkey 1682
    Think it was jo beau , and dare I say it redditch's finest chipper !
  18. Tree monkey 1682
    Nope , pure aspen , found out factory carb was missing gaskets, but the second carb still made it run rough .sold it in the end as I cant be done with crap machinery.
  19. Tree monkey 1682
    Always wondered what it was like,down side is its a drum chipper , long expensive blades
  20. Tree monkey 1682
    I had a stihl ms201t that wouldn't run on aspen or stihl moto mix from new, had to replace carb at an expensive cost ,still ran rough after replacing it ... I guess the odd saw can end up being a knacker
  21. Tree monkey 1682
    Ive the old entec tree busta, based on a wheelbarrow layout, 24" wide , proper flywheel shared with its relatives ,18hp koler engine .doesn't go out much when it goes it will eat 4" wipes the floor with anything above
  22. Tree monkey 1682
    These are new classic landrovers , as a limited run, that look similar to the sv 90 realised in the early 90s , from the factory. Not some cheq built freelander crap . If i had the money then id order one
  23. Tree monkey 1682
    Very good engines, better than the honda
  24. Tree monkey 1682
    U need to go on there website , landrover are doing a classic defender with a v8 as a cabrolea limited edition , at £250k. As goes for the tdci, thats when they started going wrong, cramped internally, transit engine, thinner body work , crap vinyl seats .
  25. Tree monkey 1682
    That's a bit wrong on the last statement, the td5 had ecu 's , sensors, abs ,hdc ,traction control. The basic defender was only 15k in 99, 2000. Landrover have lost alot of contracts , with big players and I do believe that people would have paid for the product, and I did think once we left the eu , we would be following there shit anymore. But if Mercedes benz can make a dual range vehicle, ie the g wagon , I dont see why lr didnt carry on, to be honest and did the luxury version of the defender. And basic for utilities, army,military , aid charities, etc I dont know where I stand on new vehicles as no one buys and owns them anymore all pcp shit
