Thought I’d scribble a few thoughts on this saw for those curious about it. I have had the 536 for a good few years and have like and disliked some aspects of it, the relative lack of power in hard wood like acacia means you have to pick and choose when to use it, lime re-pollards and the like...

I was looking at the other thread and not understanding a thing about 3 in 1s for branch walking redirects and all that. So I’ll explain how I do it how I get out and how I get back. If I have a reasonably long walk out, I never or almost never do that walking backwards letting the rope out...

Ok, So @WoodCutr has got off to a rocky start, he’s very young, maybe a bit highly strung, but clearly is doing the job and we all like to see a youngster come in and tell his story. So let’s restart the whole thing and forget the past arguments. I know he would like a go at resetting his...

I can’t remember who it was, but someone was getting sued for a tree swing which somehow contributed to a woman breaking her back. What was the upshot of it? Tia. Mick

Bear in mind there was a little bit of operator fluctuation, and my nephew got the upgraded 201 and the stock 201 mixed up in the vid. Also it jams at the end of one of them, but it wouldn’t have affected the result. All brand new chains. I was surprised how much better the TC was.

Just discovered this, and downloaded the app, does anyone use it for locating clients or see any other uses/advantages? Pretty clever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What3words

I’m off back to England later this morning, funeral of an old family friend, more out of respect for my BIL (his father) so no consolation needed. I decided to drive, as every now and then I like the feeling of distance, geography and a sea crossing. Meet some old friends, drink in a couple of...

This vid is current, new product (well I’ve never seen it before) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt3bwW6kxWA Posted without comment. See what you think.

I’ve had a number of failed welds on my chipper, this is the most serious. It’s a plate that holds the second vertical anvil in place, those who are au fait with chippers will know what I’m talking about. Anyway the plate and the anvil (which I found) let go and went through the machine, bad...

Good news, my mate of 45 years (who?s also a tree guy) is coming to France for the weekend. Bad news, before they arrive I have to try a repair some concrete posts I broke after a schoolboy error felling some willows yesterday. The client’s a stickler and I suspect an insurance claim is in the...

The end of the year provides an opportunity to look back on a year's trading, assess and plan for 2018, sooo... I've had a pretty good one, 20% up on last year, solid employee seems happy, new loader paid for in full, consolidated my French clientele. From what I can garner a few others have...

Good tutorial of some common sense treework. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eo-KqDCs--o https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=akklgozH4tg

Just saying like. Not a lot of it on here lately.

Silly question really, what's the Stihl PROFESSIONAL equivalent to the husky 550? I dropped a clanger a while ago and bought a 271, which is a semipro saw and was rubbish. I just sold it to a guy that works for me and its left a hole in my top shelf. I like to keep a range of both marques so I...

Forgive me if this is old hat and in common usage. I use a steel fixed eye Krab on the end of my bull rope for rigging, works well, nice and simple. The only drawback is getting the rope in and releasing the rope through the gate on the ground, with cold wet hands and big gloves the groundies...

Following a thread on AT. Over here in France and in the Uk we're having a colorful autumn, can we see your pictures of where you live in autumn? I'll get some more tomorrow but for starters here's some Virginia Creeper in its autumn livery. I'm sure you can do better.....

I used to keep ferrets, one was called Conan, one was called Danny, I used to catch rabbits with them.

What do you guys think about this? Always a sell out, Oakland Raiders against Miami. I'm watching it on the telly, they were saying that by 2020 there will be a franchise in London I'm obviously a round ball man but I'll give it a go, I already like the Raiders outfits.

I'm always quiet in august, partly through choice (the heat) partly cos the French are on holiday. I've tried, amongst other things, to sort out little stuff that's been hanging about. 1; phone contract, I bit the bullet and went to the shop to sort out a new contract, I had been paying €25 a...

I must have watched the first 10 or so minutes of Gladiator about 8 times when it's on free view before going to bed. What a brilliant first scene! I challenge you to give me a better start to a film. Strength and honour!
