Pole Chainsaw

[Ian C]

Ian when I gave you a courtesy call in august to see how things where , I was disappointed to hear you've been having running issues since February with the saw I sold you , i would have sorted them out ASAP rather than let it drag on for months costing you down time and money

 

But hopefully now Ian the saw will be ok and run good it has a new piston and cylinder and various other bits it tuned in well and ran fine

Thanks :thumbup:

Yes I know you would if done Andrew and like I said your service is excellent, I didn't contact you as it was out of Warrenty, when it's running it's a cracking little saw but seems v fragile. In the last 2.5 yrs of having it I don't actually think it had done a year without a Major breakdown!

I bought a Husky 525 which is a combination unit. Engine is superb, light, low vibrations and reliable. The cutting gear (have polesaw and long hedge trimmer seem good, but the main downfall is the attachments seem hard to connect to the unit and often when you think it's in it hasn't meshed. Also mine has no rubber foam on the outer shafts which I've seen on some of the other pole saws. Have the little extension which is very handy but the thing gets a bit bendy.

my biggest gripe with, seemingly all, pole saws is the angle of the bar. It is inevitable that you are going to be stood beneath the piece being cut which makes it easy to pinch the bar and chain, luckily i have not had it stuck proper. if they were to crank the angle of the bar you could cut down from the top lessoning the chance of a pinch- similar to a lot of the sectional fibreglass pole heads.

 

The pole saw is a weapon on the right job i just think the angle adjustment would be next level..

I like it the way it is coz you can put a small gob in then do the back cut and because of the angle the limb will always swing away from you .

I hear what ya saying. Perhaps I should stop going for the spear cut. I just can't help it once I have it in my hand 😀

Well my 131 arrived today, very pleased with the power compared to the old ht75.

 

Plus it comes with this harness, which is nice.

[Ian C]

Nice one mick, spoiling yourself with the harness or is that to keep your gut in?

 

Ordered a husky in the end as I wanted a 2 stroke .

It came free with the machine, bizarrely.

 

It's quite well made actually. (The harness I mean, time will tell about the pole saw)

[Mark Bolam]

Could you adapt it to carry a tinny?
