aspen

[hedgesparrow]

been using saw in coppice for last two days and each night cracking headache. the time has come that i go back to aspen in saws the stink and smell from normal 2 stroke is to much can not take it any more.

going to get 2 cans tomorrow and run the saw on aspen.

only reason went back to normal was petrol was cheap but is it worth breathing the toxic fumes from 2 stroke. no its not

[Agi-Smash]

+1 totally agree.

My mate and me used to get headaches when working in close canopy situations. Made the switch to aspen, never changed back. Better for the saws, environment and your health, only downside, not so good for the wallet.

Have already signed the petition but unfortunatly it doesnt seem to be making much good.

Neither seem to bother me but i was speaking to someone who said he got headaches from aspen.

Been on aspen for about 3 months now, use it in everything, even the blower. will never switch back.

 

Just wish the price wasn't so hard...

Hi aitch,

 

We have upgraded the 2stroke oil used in Aspen2 so if people did not like Aspen before might be good to try the new FRT Aspen2

 

It's even cleaner burning than the old Aspen2

Almost zero soot and carbon produced

Because it burns more completely your kit will run even better than before!

 

See our website for more information or contact myself [email protected]

 

All the best

How can I buy the 25ltr containers of Aspen? Most of the dealers only list the 5ltr at about £19 which makes the change expensive.

I am in the West Midlands.

Aspen is only available in 5litre or 200l cans in the UK.

 

25 litre cans have been looked into, but the price per litre would be no less than in 5litre cans.

 

Some dealers may offer a small discount on a reasonable size order of 5litre cans. It may pay to ask.
