Hey Matt, pretty cool thread, i've surfed through most and enjoyed your stuff, couple of things, I will use my 200 for ANYTHING, felling, pruning, sucker cutting, I love 'em. Heaps of grunt and quick to sharpen. Earlier this year i had tendered a job for ARTC that involved increasing line of sight for train drivers at rural crossings, needless to say the majority of trees were casurinas, thankfully it was cut and leave, just slash 'em down a bit if they were biguns to keep ol mate farmer happy. Quite a few sites were previously done and it was just a lot of regrowth/suckers, one in particular had hundreds of the little b@st@rds, they all had to be poisoned. I got jack of spraying each and every one of these little stumps, so i tipped out my bar oil and poured in straight roundup!! away i went choppy choppy. Well i went back a fortnight ago to check the results and what do ya know, worked a treat! prob around the 90% mark.:cool2: not as cheap as my usual bar oil but saved a heap of time, oh and no residual effect on the saw either,gotta love the 200's.
Rick please stop talking about budgie smugglers. It could get the whole of Arboristsite shut down by the feds

I've known Fred for about 15 years - still don't trust the bugger. Seems like all the successful politicians are the same. Now take that Bob Brown fellow, that last name could just as well be his politics if he could find a constituency that would vote for it.
Don't tell me that old buggar is still alive???
I broke one of my spikes on Saturday (at the weld)
I was too heavy handed reefing the saw out of a pinch
Gorilla, please.
Don't worry, the discussion about Brown is all about loggin' trees - heck, you should see his office, he has this big 4' by 8' picture of clear fell logging in Tasmaina.
We should all get together some time over a few beers and I will tell you guys some real **** about Ozzie politics. Good thing I spent some time in a combat zone, otherwise it would scare the crap out of me.
I make my own vodka. When Rick sends me the disc on identifying eucalyptus trees, I will return a bottle of my home brew.
A fine drop, made from dextrose sugar to minimise excess broken chains, the 'head' removed to eliminate the methanol and then soaked for three days in activated charcoal. If Rick approves of the drop, I provide unlimited bottles as we dive deep into the bowels of the cesspool of illusions.
You should have asked me Terry. The original Euclid disc is mine yet it seems to have spawned numerous copies I'll accept only a mere 3 bottles of your finest Vodka I do indeed love Vodka...
