  1. Try buttons, they'd know
  2. Have a look on woodlouse online or alternatively Google green wood workers, coppicers near me....should be quite a few near you
  3. Ypu can always talk to entec, timberwolf tech team and they will help you out , with drawings etc
  4. Arrh , lucky I still have a heavy horse then !🤣
  5. If net zero keeps on the way it does we might be back to horse +cart and using bow saws up trees
  6. Gawd knows , he might be that ancient that they didnt have driving licences then
  7. Wonder if he means stgo class 2 or 3?
  8. Gawd knows why he didn't fell it with lean .
  9. Hopefully , the climber will learn from that. Wasn't worth getting out of bed that day !
  10. More chance of it being leylandii
  11. If your going to do this then do.it a foley sv, but just because you have a bad experience with one defender doesn't mean there all shit, and if it wasn't for the defender you wouldn't have all these suv cars along with 4 wheel drive sports cars . I know because a relative of mine sold technology , to porsch ,Honda, volvo and volkswagen from memory
  12. Canopy has died off a bit
  13. Probably worth more as a defender than something off scrap heap challenge!
  14. What about sensors? The 4510 seemed to remember the user before only using half revs , bit like my old stihl ms 241cm - ypu coild tell who had used it and what revs by just picking it up and starting it !
  15. Not even the 4510? Older models weren't but newer shape ones were ? It still hesitated for a second
  16. We were about 10 years behind from Scandinavia with wood chippers , But your right about the governments, I just dont know about how u fix that ! And i used to do the whole winter storage thing and that never worked either-the run it dry thing maybe its different with alkalyte fuel in before hand
  17. Having used the 4510, that wasn't a bad saw, quite quick , well balanced capable saw if used right ... only fault with all the new saws is they are slow to react .. I mean if you expect to cut and go -thes a second delay with all brands assuming sensors and ecu need time to think . Depends what you want to do with the saw .
  18. Dunno ive might have quoted the measurements wrongly but I do genuinely follow the instructions on the bottle, maybe that was a poor example on my behalf , not being arsey
  19. Wasn't spoiling for bickering either , I dont know why we can't supply aspen at the pumps, it surely would be better for all types of petrol engines, and bring the wholesale cost down rather than pushing battery powered shite. It must have been 2003 when I took saws into a dealer 11 of them, all of them with gammy carbs, told the dealer to keep the good ones , scrap the rest .. did the whole lot and cost £1500.. didnt use them again. In regards to outboards alot of the local guys with small to midrange boats use Aspen due to the lack of use or cost of repairs and better fuel economy . With regards to classic cars, is the not a water fuel seperator inline filter ? We've also done that to certain machinery it does work and doesn't restrict fuel flow, you always had issues with metal tanks condensation, and then issues with crappy fuel ontop of that! The is no straight answer -just methods to get around situations .
  20. All my machines have been on it from new, its also better for your lungs and the working environment .
  21. Chainsaws are more expensive than an engine on a mower, genset and smaller plant , last time I used brigs and Stratton fuel stabiliser I put one shot to 20 litres of fuel in the bottom of a jerry can ,then filled it up with top end petrol . It still did not stop the dumper (honder engine) carb from buggering up ,even though I brim the machine. Its not as good as it claims, then u have the fecking around on site and a shite bottle of crap that didnt work. Yes I did try it in other machines. Diesel machines are another chalice of 💩. But they've seemed to have got better or should I say diesel has . But ultimately machines font like being stood up and not being used. I use aspen on anything and everything , its in the chipper, dumper, chainsaws - if people think its cost prohibitive then you really need to look at your pricing structure and work out cheap fuel versus down time, carbs and sized engines .
  22. I've tried, more expensive fuel, fuel guard and anything else, the only thing that works is aspen 4 or moto mix 4 its saved so many shitty carbs, easier starting ,no nasty pipes broken fuel lines, I dont have to worry about when I last used the machine , it goes in every petrol machine and it just goes on the bill, and if I dont get the job f it .
  23. Not sure on that bud, 162 and 156 are great saws. Always found the 346 a bit flat, it'd scream the knackers off but not do much . What model was the efco you brought ?
  24. Wouldn't wipe the floor with the 156 or 162 efco
