ahaha all we run are stihls

 

yeah man i live in eardisland, lovely little village, where abouts is the cottage?

[ben lightfoot]

By the bridge on the main road opposite the dove cote there are three little cottages, its the one at the back with a garden that has the river either side. Its a great little village been going up there years as they used to own one of the front cottages called riverside i think, sorry for the derail by the way

Was starting to get concerned seeing all those stihls in the woods and then to my relief the huskys came out. Nice area flaming ace im up to eardisland in july as family own a holiday cottage, do you live their or just the general area?

 

I use Huskys! Got a MS660 but thats seen alot of use this winter for the big stuff. Just for you some photos of some Huskys in the woods

Try the 576 70ish cc but its dam powerful. The new 390 is a hell of a saw too rather that than my 660. As for clearing saws i loved my 345fx the 345rx with the clearing saw head just ain't the same. Perfer both of thoses to the FS450 and FS450k

Stihl for show; Husky for Pro

 

I'm going to be controversial and throw in a curveball - Jonsered Loads of the old guys round here used to run them as they were cheap

 

to stay on track, if you squint hard enogh you can just make out the old school husky hanging off the winch, and the edge of my trusty 353 after some mild stunt felling.

 

I've nothing against Stihl, and for big timber would take a 660 every day of the week, but for that instant zap for snedding I don't think you can beat a husky.

hmmm think that will have to wait, fancy a 560xpg though although the 372 does a grand job and the new 346xpg is an awesome saw

 

no replacement for displacement, stihl fs550 for clearing saw, destroyer of large areas of scrub in a hurry

 

 

 

oh and back to the original question, yes its mint doing forestry work
