Buying a used Arb chainsaw - swimming with the sharks?
Steve Bullman replied to little_p's topic in Chainsaws
I’d never buy used but plenty do. If I were to I would make sure it was from a reputable source. Have a chat with @spudulike on here. He regularly does up used saws and sells on. You will know you’re getting something that’s been gone over by an expert with a fine tooth comb -
I did ?

Looks like dyradeus but the colour and association with pine it could also be this Phaeolus schweinitzii - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG what say you @David Humphries
-
Absolutely John, thank you

Tree identification database

Disagree, I think the first 2 are Beech, second 2 possibly Ash -
It’s hard to get it right enough, and part of the problem is that under force the beads compress which makes it possible to pull them hard enough to create a 15mm gap which would fail the test
-
That’s not a hornbeam leaf. And that’s not particularly unusual to find a beech tree with a stem like that
-
Dollar/makita speak to @shavey on here for prices on those. tanaka makes ok stuff at a slightly cheaper price, not sure if they do any long reach stuff though
-
DOn't see how this gets over the original problem of cinching up the knot on the loop end
-
hmm trying to picture what you mean there Currently she's been burning the cord then fusing it together. I haven't managed to break one yet. I need to watch her make one as she puts a knot within each bead aswell.
-
Might take a while to trim a hedge with that
-
Basically its something like this. Clip one end and a loop the other to attach to a dummy I don't think counter sinking the end is feasible as it would mean that bead would need to be retested individually I expect
-
If you went to America its a different story, Echo are massive over there. I guess Stihl market more heavily than Echo here in the UK.
-
Or maybe Hornbeam ?

fern leaf or cut leaf beech
-
Don’t quite follow. That loop needs to be on the end
-
Nope. We sell them in the ‘other’ website

Trying to avoid adding extra components of possible

Safe to put in a baby steriliser

Extension Pole | ECHO Tools WWW.ECHO-TOOLS.CO.UK This 1.22m (4') extension pole can be fitted to the PPT-265ES long reach power pruner. It should only be used with the chainsaw attachment Yeah as I mentioned, should only be used with a chainsaw attachment. I believe the hedgecutter messes up the clutch. Plus its quite an outlay if you're not going to be using it much
-
Echo to a 3 stage extension, or used to. Be warned though its a beast to handle at full extension. You are also not supposed to use the 3rd extension with a hedge cutter attachment, just a chainsaw attachement, we used to however. That was a while ago though, im not sure if this is still in their range, but worth a look. Hope you have decent shoulders
-
The Stihl battery range is great. The added advantage is that once you've gone to the expense of purchasing the charger and batteries, the actual units themselves are quite competitively priced
-
not on a bight though
-
Not for climbing Need some sort of cinching knot to put on this loop. It needs to snug right up to the beads so they can’t be separated easily under load. Any clever suggestions?
