try Snowball engineering and Tom Lamb... worth a watch

I'd +1 the 261. I've got a few saws and the 261 is by far my 'go to' saw. Paired with a Sugi 20" and 050 chain. It's bloody lovely to use. The battery saws are also great for light use. Whether its the 540i xp or similar. One saw i couldn't be without due to the pruning and small felling is the Milwaukee Hatchet. Before i get stick regarding the Hatchet, please try one. Paired with an 8ah battery and a sharp chain, it will dramatically reduce fatigue when up in the trees or on the floor cutting coppice stands.

i removed my coat whilst i was in the office... i did have the radiator on...

sheeeeeeet (or sh1t) you arent having much luck..... i did the same a few years ago falling down some stairs, my head punched through some plasterboard and my collar bone took the brunt. 2 days later i rolled my car over and it completely separated. heal quick and don't be tempted to chuck a length of box section on your shoulder, which is what i did after 5 days rest.

same in chesterfield.....

i'll send a Private message now

that reminds me..... i need to replace one of mine on the 170 i have. Oil cap has decided to become 2 parts. I definitely prefer the screw caps over the quick lock ones though

I'll have a look first thing in the morning and let you know

Morning all. Finally started to get some firewood in order these past couple of weeks and gained a few contacts. My partner has been pushing herself and has always wanted to join the ARB community so shes managed to get a into some volunteering at a local forestry site, made some contacts with local ARB services, and booked onto her Chipper course!! Chuffed that she's pushed and is hopefully going to shine! Thats what the wanted AD is for, some old rope that i can help teach rigging and knots etc. (it definitely wont be used for any sort of climbing at height) I hope everyone's staying warm and safe!

what size is the gate opening. i have a few spares i could send your way if they fit?

Morning all, been a while..... a fair bit of clearance work from dead fall over the last few weeks, since the storms. Just waiting for the sun to make an appearance before cutting and carrying. Have a great day all and stay safe

As AHPP has stated above, get yourself a scooter or 50cc bike. Yes, some employers will accept that you will get to work by other means, but having your own transport is a big bonus. Have you contacted any local estates/companies? Have you contact any companies? Have you contacted the local council? Just a few ideas.... Unfortunately, all i can offer is advice, but the lads and lasses on here will offer support and advice to try and help you along your way. Just ensure you put the time and effort into ringing round and emailing. Don't approach with a chip on your shoulder as most will just judge. good luck and keep us updated

that's one hell of a beautiful fence!

Morning all, Happy New Year to everyone Few flooded roads around Chesterfield, so bear that in mind when you venture out. I hope everyone has had a great Xmas and New Year. Start ups this morning, so fingers crossed we dont have any major issues. Stay safe!
