Chainsaw required! (Green laning in Hampshire - 3/1/2010)

well - we made it. Although loads of peeps cried off - eventually Redwings, Kev, me and family went out to do a few lanes south of Basingstoke today. Just arrived back. Will be loading piccies in a while, but seriously, trying to remove broken trees with a hacksaw aint fun, so if anyone has an old, but servicable chainsaw (only for laning use) sitting idle, can yu PM me, if its cheep.

will lob one at ya next time i come past...

be next few weeks or so...

You should try one of these...

BAHCO 396 LAPLANDER FOLDING PRUNING SAW IDEAL GIFT on eBay (end time 31-Jan-10 17:44:48 GMT)

Or equip yourself with a billhook, better for getting through big branches than a machete...

i don't think its engaging , i have tried all the ground checks and come away mildly confused about what should and shouldn't be turning , tested the light switch on the gearbox, which does work, but when i select it it doesn't come on at the dash, which leads me to believe it ain't happenening, i've no experience of offroading(i've avoided of the newbie trips 'cos of this too) so i can't tell by driving skill, although low range does engage fine.

yes had a good afternoon laning hope the kids enjoyed themselfs daft dont think the disco made a good chainsaw on the last one ,good job we had a hacksaw lol pics to follow

I keeps a Bowsaw and a Machete in me motor. Gets thru most stuff they does.

Nah I is got an hand axe for them

Machete or billhook wouldnt have been much good - some of the branches were 4inches in dia and green.

well the saw i got is yours if you want it.

Heres some pics from today lots of fallen tree about

That certainly looked like a good day out.

(You can easy get through 4" with a decent weight, sharp billhook. Might take a couple hits, mind...)

Bow Saw is the answer. dunt ya need a chainsaw licence and insurance to use a chain saw in a public place??
