Talking about machinery on here is I find a little difficult ,as I only use pro rated stuff that covers me under guarantee when needed ! I picked up a brand new 24" stihl chainsaw last week as I said the other was not fit for purpose

Sparky that is the most lethal weapon you can own without a licence.


Read about a guy who was trying to trim a big tree.  He got up high and was swinging the chainsaw through the branches with a rope tiyed through the safety handle.  It bounced off a branch and he instictivly put out his hand to stop it...

PLI, Public Liability Insurance.  Sparky are you a proffesional then?
Just to keep on topic you'd know about strimmers then?

[Sparkyrog]

4 chainsaws 2 strimmers 2 hedge trimmers 2 rotorvaters 3 mowers and a ride on it costs a bit  yes I am

One night after a few wines I bought a chainsaw from one of the shopping channels.  I started it up in my workshop and cut through some branches.  It scared me.  I gave it away on freecycle.  I can see how easy it would be to hurt yourself.


Can you recommend a strimer for Yorkie then?

[Sparkyrog]
