  1. Here's my arb truck. As title of thread;

    192t

    Just out of curiosity, roughly how much are the in the dealers in France?

    Too right Rich, guess it goes to show what a great little they really are:thumbup:

    192t

    The owner of our main dealers went to Sthl factory last year and I asked him if he would find out if the 192t was going to be released here. He managed to speak to one of the top guys over in Germany and his reply, laughing was, "no way, that would only take sales away from the 200t"! So it seems while they can fobb off many people that the 200t is the only one to have, people will not know what they are missing.

    Why, thats like saying he wouldnt sell you a 390 because you have used a 880 before? Rediculous. Dealer dribble, yet again! They are different saws for different jobs end of! P.S, I do realise the guy who started the thread wanted one now his 020s are now worn out, but perhaps he is going to be dissappointed too:sneaky2:

    :lol: Perhaps you could tanslate this into some form of legible English mate; Dont mean to be an old prude, but for those of us who dont do much in the way of text talk or even regional lingo, it really is hard to understand some peoples posts. .
  7. Would be much easier to not carry waste in the first place and process the "firewood", would save e-bay scams:lol:

    Life according to a rep eh? Tut! The only reason stihl reps here say that is because if the dealers repair these saws under "warranty" they dont get paid! Strangely enough though, they CAN get parts for them!
  9. Never counted them to be honest Rob, but many more than 2, even on 36" bar using 7/32"! Just wondering what brand you guys are using who only get a couple of sharpens? Also, while using them do you clean off the filings regularly from the file etc?
  10. Some amazing comments on this thread! New chains instead of sharpening? And one/two sharpens a file? Unbelievable:confused1:
  11. I clicked otherwise dump it, meaning i used to give it all away, but the main reason I do it is because i enjoy it.
  12. Cheers for that Chris. I do wonder why the euro guys/scandanavians dont market it differently here to "impress" the UK market though, I'm surely not alone in feeling put off by this type of "easy" work? Any ideas how much this type of machine would be Chris and is it possible for the saw to be used at the same time as the screw?
  13. Looks like it has a slot in the market and will be interested in feedback too. It does however hack me off that these demo vids ALWAYS show the easiest wood possible to process, then try marketing it here in the real world. Makes me dubious instantly.
  14. Never mind the dog, I'd have that tree felled and the old works rebuilt into a holiday home, then everyones happy:thumbup:
  15. String and door knob sounding more a viable option now?
  16. String round the tooth, other end round a door knob. Yep, you know the rest:sneaky2:
  17. 18" will be a tad overkill on the 660 Rob:thumbup: My 260's are on 0.325 though, there may be a difference between that and the 390/660. Edit; possibly just sprocket though.
  18. You should be able to give your dealer the numbers and they will order them for you. I managed to get the complete pump that was described as an AUS pump. Could be the same as the US one but not sure. I have been and looked for the part number but cant find it. However, if you want me to do, I can find the part number for the complete pump from my dealer. It should still be on my records with them. I believe the complete pump was just over £30 when i got mine but I think the dealer supplied it free as I kicked up so much about it at the time! The parts listed above come to around £20-25 but obviously you have to strip the pump to fit them. Let us know how you get on.
  19. Cant seem to find the thread I was looking for, but found this one. Its quite old but some useful bits in there. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/1114-ms-660-problems.html Also, this is one i started that is definately worth a read through if you want to prolong the 660's life! http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/8589-ms660-ms460-air-filter-upgrades.html If you have trouble finding part numbers, i should be able to find the number for the australian pump i got for mine. It is a much higher output and cured the problem. Have a read of the thread first though and get back to me if you need it as it will take a bit of digging out. Happy reading, Pete.
  20. Common problem. I will look for one of the threads as mine was like it. Just give us a minute or three.
