Speaker 1 (00:00):
I love this time of the year leading into field
days because I always get to catch up with this
bloke and I always get to give away cool things
like steel chainsaws. His name is Phil Ropie Harf from
Still It is Steel Chainsaw Safety Awareness Week. Phil. We've
got five chainsaws and two safety packs to give away.
We need to encourage blokes and sheler is out there
(00:21):
to be careful when they're on the end of it
a chain saw. It's a serious piece of kit.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Good afternoon, Jamie, and good afternoon to everyone that's listening.
Jamie's quite right. You do need to make sure that
you show some respect for the job you're doing with
a chainsaw, and you know the key messages. Just take
some time to check everything's right. And you know you've
got to think three things yourself. Make sure you've got
the right gear and there's that safety pack for your
Jamie pack boots sorry chaps, ear muffs and glasses. And
(00:48):
you also want to think perhaps of some boots at
minimum steel cap And if you're under can it be
a helmet as well. And know your own ability. Don't
be over confident. If you're not sure, you're probably right.
Get someone who can get the job done until you
can take over or even perhaps look at some training
and still uses rural training solutions nationwide. And of course
your equipment. Make sure it's sharp, make sure it works properly,
(01:10):
particularly the safety pieces service at once. Again, there will
be a shock for some of the people listening, I'm sure,
and also know how the soul reacts.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Absolutely. Who are the biggest menaces on the end of
the chainsaw? And I say this not in a lighthearted manner,
but I know some people weekend warriors get out there
and they're determined to chop down a forest with very
little preparation.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, and it's interesting, and that preparation's key, you know,
environment I make sure there's no other people around you.
You know, these are the things you need to do.
Make sure there's no hazards that are going to get you,
and know about the material we've been cut. But the
thing is, when we're talking about where the greatest danger is,
sometimes it's not necessarily the newer users because they are
paying a lot of attention and trying to do it right.
Sometimes it's those of us who have been decades born
(01:56):
with the chains are in our hands, but never been
taught how to do it properly, and sometimes we are
the biggest danger to ourselves. And unfortunately I've put some
farmers in that category.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, maybe myself as well. Spent a lot of time
on the chainsaw in my younger years. Fell Look, we
gave away on Friday Show, or we threw it out
there on Friday Show. We had the still let me
get it right, we had the MS one eight two chainsaw.
It's worth five hundred and fifty five dollars. We had
a still safety pack worth nearly three hundred dollars to
(02:24):
give away. Who was their winner?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Okay, I'm pleased to announce the winner of the chainsaw
safety pack was Richard Ross from Northland.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Good on you, Richard. And today we've got a still
MS one eight two chainsaw, as I said, valued at
five hundred and fifty five dollars. These things have got
what like a forty centimeter what's that? An inches? Phil guidebar?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Sixteen inches in the old money there, Jami.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, people still think of them like that. So look,
it's a meaningful chainsaw. This is handy for smaller jobs
on the farm, but'd be greatful around the section at home.
It's she's a cracking saw. Ye.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I think everyone needs one of these, and you can
either win one with us on the country and if
you go into your friendly steel shop you'll find there's
some great packages available on all our sort of smaller
to medium saws. And I think on these ones, if
you have to buy one because you haven't won it,
you can get a free bar and two chains with it,
which is worth a fair bit against the value of
that sort.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Right now, what's today's question?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Here it is in twenty twenty six. Now remember that's
next year, twenty twenty six, not this year. How many
years will have still been making chainsaws for?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
To enter go to Thecountry dot co dot nz our website,
fill in the entry form with the correct answer to
our daily question in twenty twenty six? How many years
will still have been making chainsaws for? Iden hazarding A
guess fell because I don't even know the answer. That
it's a round number, right, I'd say that's yeah number,
a big round number. Were spoon feeding you the answers, Hey,
(03:53):
what are you up to at field days?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, we're going to have a change to our displays
is going to be bigger and better and it gives
us in wonderful opportunity to show off our innovation. And
as you know, a lot of our innovation has been
on battery product. I think we have about twelve categories
of those, let alone how many models in each category,
So we are by far ready the biggest than these
types of tools. But we're also developing petrol as well,
so come along and see how we can carry that
(04:18):
bat and forward as well. And of course we'll be
involved in a bit of sponsorship. It's always that my
pleasure to be involved with wigging down there at the
Silver Spades and the Golden Plyers. So yeah, we're looking
forward to field days. All right.
Speaker 1 (04:28):

you at field days.
