  1. Past hour
  2. Morning chaps dry here but still blowing
  3. My question is: Are there any spikes on the market that are good for very thin legs? Either with an adjustable leg cup thingy, or with additional pads for the leg thingy? TIA. Al.
  4. Have you found any decent info on how the grenadier tows?
  5. Morning , blue skys and frost here. Garden conny bashing for us today.
  6. Stihl comms all the way especially when working with machinery. Huge improvement in Safety but the one thing I didn’t think to consider is how much they’d Improve efficiency, which they have 10 fold.

  10. Morning Bob , morning all . Hope you all have a good day .
  11. Morning Fingers crossed for a decent day. Out in it, Looking forward to a rest tomorrow. Full week. Back at it Monday Have a safe one.
  12. I’ll post this question on a forum he frequents, might as well go to the source!
  13. The echo saws are a lot better than they used to be. Can you get the CS390sx?
  14. I presume that its the crank bearing that is shot and not the clutch bearing. If so I haven't seen or heard of any 500I's with that issue. Its going to be a costly repair but if the rest of the machine is OK then I think that its worth repairing it.
  15. Yesterday
  16. Vat reclaimable on the two seat van version but it isn't Tacho prepped and any work around will void the warranty! They should work well with proven undercarriage from BMW, ZF and Carrero and folk I know that have them, really rate them as a Disco type alternative. Crewcab falls down on not being able to carry enough..... I got told that they have a couple which have done 1,000,000 miles apiece with nowt but usual service wear/tear stuff. Only outfit that have put a right good warranty on - Ford commercial warranty is 60k miles agin theirs of 5 years and unlimited mileage.....
  17. I looked up the 4310 and it looks like it is a European market saw only. I'm in the US so that won't work. We have an Echo, I want to say it is about 50cc with an 18" bar. I will have to check and see what the model number is. It is relatively new - bought 2 years ago and only used a couple times. I don't particularly care for the saw. It does not have a fuel primer button. We did use it last weekend and I had to open the air filter to prime with gas straight in the carb to get it to go. Overall, I am not real sure what to make of Echo saws. Historically I would have never considered them. Someone else in the family bought the one we have and had heard good things about them. I had someone else say good things earlier this week about them. So I am more inclined to give them a chance. I suppose if people here on the forums are recommending them there is a reason. No matter what brand, I do know there is a difference between consumer grade and professional grade - and the price points show that. Looking at the US market Echo line-up - the CS-361 is 35.8cc and 8.4lbs. That sounds about right for what I was thinking on sizing. They spec it with a 14" and 16" bar.

  18. He's been doing it for the last 5 years, I don't think that he is going to give it up anytime soon.
  19. The echo will come out cheapest without a doubt and capable. You can get the CS 362 wes which is the 2511 bigger brother. As said the 4310 is good. As for the big brands, it's to early to say about 540xp over the MS201C-M. It is Β£100 cheaper though.
  20. 550 is hard to beat in its size/cc bracket. I bought mine (well) used and it's a great little saw.
  21. No, bored is posting a political commentry in a forum in the hope of some human interaction, not a 7 word quip to that posting
  22. Been a while since I did any sign language, I might have missed this part, but what do you do if you want to get someone attention urgently with signs? Or do you fall back to voice communications and shout? Cannot for example using a chainsaw up a tree and watching someone on the ground just in case they want tell you something with sign language. Eyes on the job but your ears can still listen.
  23. I have not used a 2511, but my 360TES has been going over 10 years, not as powerful as 200T, but more reliable ime. Radmores has the 362WES exactly the same price as the 2511, quite a bit more power for logging up small stuff, and 8.4 lbs Personally if I can bring myself to 'invest' in a small logging up saw I would like the more expensive new 43cc Echo CS-4310SX (weight 9.5 lbs) that is on a par with a Stihl MS241 Echo CS-4310SX Petrol Chainsaw (42.9cc) - Radmore & Tucker WWW.RADMORETUCKER.CO.UK The most powerful and lightest chain saw in its class. The ECHO CS-4310SX is a professional grade, mid sized chain saw suitable for a wide range of applications, including felling. With...
  24. Think we've had one for a main bearing failure, maybe two. Most of them come in for the clutch, I personally think it should be bigger. Maybe from the 661. Had some of them come in where it had blown through the drum (clutch) and knackered the crankcase. The bearing in question is about Β£14. So not much if you can do it yourself. Just need to make the shaft isn't worn
