Psp. I’ve a Scottish whatsapp group for forestry and tree surgeon malarky. I can send the link on pm. They post shifts there too
-
Aye it’s a bit of a twat but broke up the day between fills. Climbed over the fence and got stuck in it. Took half the thing down with me
-
By 9am I may as well have been in the river I’m that bad… After how long should I be used to the work?
-
Field side of the deer fence over halfway done in a day on my own. 5 fills of the 461. Thick in bits, not so much in others. The white van is where I started in the morning and was on site for maybe 6 hours or so and was taking it rather casual. Lemme know what you guys think, how many fills etc should I be doing a day/how many metres. I know a lot of variables but it’s good to know.

Used the 461 with a 200mm blade cutting regen today and it was quick as anything. Just demolishing it all, even cut through fence wire and still continued to cut… Sharpening the blade with a 325 file but not sure if it is the right size. Was using a 250mm guard with a 200mm blade. Would not recommend, can hear it hitting the guard. Will remove the guard I think as it seems to get in the way when fighting through little Sitka branches. @Stubby

Fail in that. I could knock a stump vice into the wood and just use that.

Got this old worktop, quite a few of them actually. But this ones scrap as it’s got a hole in it from a sink anyways… Was thinking of mounting it to the tailgate and mounting a vice on it for sharpening chainsaws and filing rakers etc whenever I’m near the motor which isn’t very often just thought it’d be handier than bent over a stump… Chalk mark on tailgate is where that worktop would fit when cut. Any other suggestions or photos would be grand
-
Picked this up for nothing. Anybody got any suggestions for 11.5mm wire? and straps etc. I’ve shackels etc.

It takes a real cutter to know how to do that
-
Windy. Rate my stump Hardest Sitka I’ve cut in a long time pushing a dull chain to finish the tree is never fun. Cuts going all roads
-
I’ve no time for driving about the country, cutting and then sharpening at home. I sharpen in the wood on company time 😂
-
Tried Vallorbe. Oregon. Husky. They’ve too much metal almost like a step in the cutter that you need to file away.
-
Bloody expensive on reels though for sure
-
Old topic but may as well revive it rather than make a new one. I’m down to my last few 24 inch chains and I’ve been using EXL. On my Huskys. Absolute nightmare on the first sharpen, ruins files. Can go through 1-2 files on the first sharpen and after that it is fine. Anybody else have the same bother? I am thinking of getting LPX if I can get it next time. EXL seems to be dull out the box anyways, it’s painful to work with
-
If anything the line will be going to the farm at the end of a dead end road.
-
Thanks man. For 40 quid I got a couple hundred and a mug as well and a few pens. Was 10 quid off free postage which was a fiver… Great financial logic spend 10 to save 5
-
I’ll not bother packing a lunch then if it’s included on site!
-
I won’t be using a guard either just goggles and a visor
-
Not on Sunday please mate…… don’t. 😂
-
Again, I’m used to forestry rates which is also back breaking type of stuff. I’d imagine this kind of job to be not as hard? Not sure if I am selling myself short but I don’t want to come across as very steep in price either when I am trying to get more work out of the place. They are also keen on having me split the logs with my road towable, mulch/strim the woodland and fell any small saplings.
-
About to buy this before anyone has any better ideas for mulching around a woodland, little branches and bushes/weeds etc.

How do you mean?
