Hey Hardluck, 2 years ago I dug an even deeper hole in Inglewood, adrenaline kicked in at the 300mm mark,didn't need any zinc ! Anyway someone had driven a star picket down about 600mm for some reason .At the 450mm mark I was thinking red or black for the Merc.

Thought I would finish this post with my purchase,finally ! After much deliberation I purchased a Stihl MS170 $249.00 brand new .(check them out great value) I trialled the Makita 36v and the AEG 18v both cut some fairly serious pieces of wood, black wattle ,dead for 5 years ,approx 6-8" in...

I'm planning a trip up soon,sounds good. Thanks for the tip Reynard. Cheers Crushed

Hi, I run my 4500 in auto tracking but when reading various articles have noticed most operators are running in fixed . Question is why do you prefer to run in fixed ? Cheers Crushed

it saddens me to see the "brotherhood" turn on it self. I have learnt so much from the questions and answeres each and everyone has supplied or given in this forum . I,m not sure why we needed to go down the track of insinuating welfare rorts. Cheers Crushed

Thanks for the feed back,evo is the go !Apart from the weight why are you all so keen on the evo.Someone did some testing (I can't remember who) and he had the evo 12" and the 14" elite neck and neck . I have noticed Westoz is using an eleven inch coiltech coil in some of his vids(love that...

Hi all,looking at a new coil.I,m tossing up between a 14" coiltech elite and an evo 12. I!m a GT prospector with maybe a trip out to WA later on this year.I have a 8x6 Sadie and the two coils (DD and the mono)as supplied with my 4500. I,m leaning towards the evo but thinking Minelab gold does...
