The auto idle function is brilliant. No need to stock pile, just post it in, and the chipper revs down 20 seconds later. Galvanized chassis as well.

Not sure if this is any help, but the 4510 only came with a choice of 16" (66 links) or 18" (72 links) bars from factory. Both using .325" x 0.50" chain. Efco (emak) part number for the 18" bar is 50230059R, and the 16" bar is 50062014R.

Technically yes I suppose, I’ll have a look later and see how easy getting the top part of the slew off.

Brutal.

Poor Tommeh! Fundraiser incoming....

Friday was a hedge day in Essé South of Rennes. We rucked up to this council horror surrounding our work site. Luckily no judgemental competitors drove past to add 2+2 and make 5 I lost count after 20 and there are still dozens more Liquid Amber street trees that are yet to receive the same treatment, breaks my heart that some councils haven't moved with the times. It wouldn't cost the council very much to let an experienced arborist just do the cutting whilst they cleared up something I already do this for one commune already equipped with a chipper.

Well, men of a certain age are advised to feel their nuts regularly...

Could the holes not be rethreaded for metric? Solve the problem of international bolt sizes once and for all. We did this with that ill fated Carlton 4012

Because in France, the dealer is Bandit by name and Bandit by nature.

Having upgraded from a tw230 to a TP215 track machine, the difference really is night and day. The TP is a big unit, but it is a much more solid piece of kit compared to the TW280, which had been an option at the start.

I didn't think oregon made a saw that is capable of running a bar longer than 18", most are shorter that that, my understanding is they are just hobby/occasional use saws and not suitable for milling. IMO even if you fitted a longer bar the thing would likely trip out the breaker under such heat/ loading required for milling. they are not made to withstand long periods of sustained loading that milling involves.

Won't be Santa, he exclusively uses a MEWP these days due to his size and age

Yes 240v single phase not batteries. Have used Oregon mains electric saws instead of the Husky around the yard for a number of years now and the lower vibration has really helped my arthritus. As for cutting there is nothing that I would have cut with the Husky that I have not been able to cut with the Oregon.

Santa must have spotted your post -so there's none left in stock this morning -just 12 hours later! 🤫

TBH I wouldn’t know, I keep a bigger Schliesing for the occasional big volume job.

Ahhh, Liverpool. 2 sets of PJs, bed time ones and ones for best, going out PJs.

Yup, think bark free surface area - the more the better

Arrh.. battery powered chainsaws, lovely

TW280 looks good, have they released one with a big stage 5 diesel yet?

They were for a split second, then got recalled for a pin or something. Now looking at Jan/Feb I think. Reflex is half the price so I thought worth a shot, if the blackbird comes and looks better I'll give this to my lad to use as he's on a ZZ now

Morning all, Got up in good time, came into the kitchen to find copious runny dog poo on the (tiled) floor. Not for the first or second time either now our chocolate lab is getting old, bless her. Still, I’m not up changing nappies at night! Doing a couple of quotes then pottering. Have a good weekend.

Good luck!
