  1. No, but ask the rail or the power line gangs, they were forever cutting themselves in the forearm.
  2. I got that pissed with Honda that I stripped all of the small machines that Honda engines on and replaced with loncin, touch wood have been faultless compared toy the new Honda engines they replaced
  3. Aspen here we come, can see more saws seizing
  4. I just thought you were, best industry practises in the way of tree care, ie pruning, fungus, etc. Thought the hse was the body that governed what tree teams did or don't do in the tree. It doesn't bother me... Due to using twin lines in a tree. However what I would look at is if, this is legislation derived from powerline clearance teams, then the's numerous reasons why they keep having stupid accidents.
  5. I could give you a few reasons as to why utility teams generally end up falling out of trees, but I will probably end up getting slated for it. What I'm struggling is what the arb assoc has got to do with it or have they got more involved with practises and hse recently?
  6. Have the hse approved or put up documentation about it yet? If so put the updated hse guidance notes up... That's poss the easiest way around anything
  7. Efco have gone heavy or a bit flimsy now, was looking at the tanaka hoping it was like using a husqvarna 42/55 model.. Makita seems hefty and could be a slow or agricultural and tanaka no idea also echo could be agricultural like the farm boss crap
  8. Yeah can't get the old out house built saws, but never used makita? Have you used much makita dolmar stuff?
  9. Hi guys, to all of those involved... I need a new sub 50cc saw, for sneddung, thinning and section felling and firewood, above it is a efco 156,162, 199 for proper trees. Not really into stihl or husqvarna... Both seem to have lost there way.... So can we have a quick cutter, with grunt, lightweight but powerful, not stupidly heavy either... Does that exist? Sitting around the 350, 55, 42 range but not as heavy as stihl 241 cm. These are the saws, makita 5121, tanaka 3801, echo 420 and makita dcs 4300.... All of them bar the 5121 are same cc. Thanks in advance
  10. Hiya bud, you still able to get tanaka spares and how do u find them, kind of lost as to think what they compared to and if or how they handle well? 

  11. Blimey, I didn't even realise that, I tried to find a price on it but couldn't, I know bars aren't cheap nor are chains.... I believe it can run upto a 48" bar with ease... I've only used it once as my 162 was struggling for an obscure reason ( knackered minging Holme oak) ten cuts on an old re pollarded one.
  12. Thinking offers, but don't know what it's original cost is or was?
  13. Was the anyone on here intrested in buying a virtually new efco 199 on a 30" bar.. Ex mod and un issued.. Used once on 10 cuts on a Holme oak .... Only run on asxpen during that time.
