  1. Tell me something I don’t know
  2. I felled a load of sycamore last week or the week before so no…
  3. I am so broke in this day n age, I’ve resorted to recycling my sweetcorn
  4. Will be an utter pain in the arse and I do easily 20K in my van every year if not more. I live in a rural part of Scotland where everything is a drive. We are already taxed to the maximum in this country. Yet another way of punishing rural people in the favor of city slickers. Don’t even get me started on the dropping the percentage of alcohol either as that is just a step too far in my opinion. If I’ve read up on that right… it is to avoid tax.
  5. I have had the same with 5 Series saws. A lot of the time I’d hold the throttle wide open and pull the cord to restart them if they are being iffy. With a brushcutter might be a bit of a pain.
  6. Just buy the 461. It’s plenty light and powerful! Wouldn’t bother buying anything Husky. I am fully converted now 😂
  7. I’ve the 22 ton one and it’s grand. 3ft beech at 12-14 inches long. Absolutely no problem.
  8. I’m 2m tall easy and using the 461 Stihl long shanked version and it’d be suitable for someone a lot taller than that as well!
  9. Hahahaha. I bought a new one!
  10. A beech tree needing logged up and taken care of. A hell of a lot better than harvesting site work, maybe I’m seeing the light… Thanks again @Doug Tait IMG_5530.mov
  11. Another load of soggy dead pine and a hung up ash taken out. First time using a tirfor. Sheered one 1ft pine max at the stump into about 6 pieces with the winch… Deader than dead. IMG_5548.mov IMG_5554.mov
  12. Like I said… @peds @Stere
  13. I’d ring and split it depending on how far you are away from me. 😀
  14. Work for and alongside people that have been at the same harvesting company as I am, self employed never been employed for over 25 years and never really been questioned.
