Chainsaw chains

[redlig]

They are usless, they dull very quickly.

EDIT.
I was cutting railway sleepers up.

Presumably removing the rails first , I find that makes a big difference.

Yes. But Norbert did not have one.

No. That's why the 10.25 did not make it.

They lied . Said it was leaves on the line no mention of an Ardvark of any hue being involved.

I know. Money talks.

Good idea to keep a few old bar & chains back for those jobs.

I thought all "sleepers" in the Uk were concrete ?
Around here they are all wood (and called "ties")

Still get wooden sleepers here.
Main lines are concrete. Other lines I think are still wood. But I was told they want to replace wood with recycled plastic ones.

There are still a lot of wooden ones left. We don't have as many trees in the UK, we cut them all down to make warships.

We cut what's left for the trenches in WW1.
That's why after both scraps we went mad and planted lots.


It is a fun fact that HMS Victory is being repaired with French oak. The oak we sent to repair the places after WW1.

As they didn't want German oak.

You need a big saw to pull .404 chain.

I don’t lend my chainsaws to anyone. To many people havent a clue how to use one safely but yet think they can

used to get very stressed out if i had a subby climber in, some are just not aware of the dangers

With 35 years of using chainsaws in forestry, it was deemed i and others weren’t suitable to use saws any more. 17 year olds with no experience now do it! The world has gone daft

Its quite scary when a nipper waving a piece of paper he/she got from a five minute college course trumps years of hands on experience.
