the goat 642 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Definitely stihl or husqvarna, use both in work everyday as a tree surgeon and we forever have shitty copy saws in to fix/sharpen. Just dont do what I did to my 6 month old husky today and drive over it with a chipper! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at buying a still saw, expensive I know but seeing as each load of logs is 120 delivered I'll soon break even and pay for the saw!! Cheers J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,809 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 you can get a small stihl new for under £200. A local tool shop had makita saws in with a free visor and ear protection for £170. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 When you get the chainsaw well worth investing in some chainsaw gloves. A mate of mine was cutting away the chain broke and wrapped round his fingers lucky he had the gloves on but ripped them up pretty bad, its a pretty common thing so be careful mate. I'd dearly love a pair of gloves. I feel I'm living on borrowed time without them. Brought it home to me was the time my chain came loose. Thankfully, the Chain Catcher took care of it and it just lashed itself, harmlessly, up in a split second. Must say though, I did think it had caught me and nicked my femoral artery! I could feel the hot blood coursing down my thigh Thankfully, I'd just shit myself 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,809 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Beech-wood fires burn bright and clear If the logs are kept a year; Store your beech for Christmastide With new-cut holly laid beside; Chestnut's only good, they say, If for years 'tis stored away; Birch and fir-wood burn too fast Blaze too bright and do not last; Flames from larch will shoot up high, Dangerously the sparks will fly; But ash-wood green and ash-wood brown Are fit for a Queen with a golden crown. Oaken logs, if dry and old, Keep away the winter's cold; Poplar gives a bitter smoke, Fills your eyes and makes you choke; Elm-wood burns like churchyard mould, E'en the very flames are cold; It is by the Irish said; Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread, Apple-wood will scent the room, Pear-wood smells like flowers in bloom; But ash-wood wet and ash-wood dry A King may warm his slippers by. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
