Ah crap I’ve already bought a new one ?

I could always send it off to spud and then keep the new one for spares.

Unfortunately, us dealer techs are restricted by huge parts markups and our high labour rate. I've been forced to write off many saws because the cost creeps up to 60-80% of the cost of a brand new saw with hardly no time at all. My company is an agricultural as well as horticultural engineering firm, so you can imagine our labour rates, and I work on everything from tractors to leaf blowers! Dealers often get a bad name, but it's the nature of the market. It's often more economical to have a small independent business work on small kit, as long as they know what they're doing and try to stay updated with current kit.
