It's spruce ! Within a doubt It smells of toilet cleaner really soft and very easy to turn... I dismissed it at first but it actually came up nice I thought despite the very large pocket of soft rot on it.

What tube outlets length and nozzle seem to make the difference , I guess because they are quite lacking in comparison in power to the back packs it seems to makes all the difference. The earlier 85's were invincible, the last one I owned was two years old and dropped its crank bearings it's predecessor another 85 was about 10 years old an still going strong but got lost off the back of a truck but too me was testament to the fact that Stihl used to make good machines with quality bearings ... Only problem with the 85 was bad anti vibes and the 86 to be fair fitted with the right nozzle is a not bad machine it just its build lets it down , stop wires breaking are notorious and a pita to fix but the anti vibes are a lot better can't say I ever noticed difference in power but some machines seem stronger than others from the beginning I guess like saws.

Thanks for clarifying Paul.

Despite doing nptc refreshers last year I've been told they should of been by a FISA approved trainer to get on a timber harvesting sites but the Arb ones I did are fine so can carry on with Arb work for contractor....but basically told yesterday we can't get on the timber harvesting site we planned for with the above contractor any body clarify ? That makes no sense at all !

Is the two stroke in aspen synthetic ?

Norway spruce burr lovey and soft .... Maybe too soft with rot in it ,left it being chased down to something resembling a dish ! But glad it got put too one side.

Birds as well, I've seen in particular wood creepers and woodpeckers make good use of monoliths and coronets, but basically all the wild life and fauna that have adapted over millions of years to live off around and in dead and decaying trees other than a sterile environment that as tree workers most of the time we help create.

They look like they would be really handy for dealer support as well 😳
-
Yeah me too Good luck to her if she is blagging it though !
-
Camelot will know the location of the ticket and where it was brought time ect , they could put it all together with data roaming off her phone or cctv footage from the shop... 33 million Would be nice though !
-
Cheers Darin,looks like it would do the job, if i can't get my go pro pass word reset I may get one.
-
It's not bad , Can you down load and edit on an I phone ? Why was there a pole up there as well!
-
Looks a big interesting job Dave , it's a shame this flooding has done so much damage to trees with land slides they recon the banks of rivers and burns will be moving for months or years up north with the damage..it is that bad!
-
Exactly! It's no virgin tree!! get on and work on it! It would probably benefit it in the long run especially some of that heavy side growth that has formed to loosing already it's leader.
-
I'd happily reduce that and keep it looking spot on and Bill the client to suit. Hire a 50m platform and it would make it child's play to do in a day if your not comfy climbing it.
-
Good choice ! my go too cutting up wood combo
-
Mmmmm it's a tough one , personally if you don't do it some one else will , I would do it and make the best job of it you can and make it clear that it means the tree will require future management. You get to go back and have another great climb .That's my bad I thought you had put in 10m!!
-
Try and explain topping it that much will result in multiple leaders with weak growth patterns and more likely hood of failure and cost in the future. To be fair I've worked on one and managed to reduce it and selectively pruned limbs so it did not looked raped by around 2-3 m but 10m is a bit excessive !!
-
550 is for felling small stuff and limbing , would not want to work with timber over 9" all day on this saw. The 560 is for medium sized timber but will not struggle at all with any thing you throw at it... If it was a logging saw and a husky your after I would go with a 365 still a pro saw and not as highly strung as the xp range but will carry a 20" bar with ease and plenty of torque for logging.
-
Yeah it will be fine .... If it's 3/8 I'll do it for you if you send a paid return envelope.
-
Is that ported as well? What sort of exhaust mod Pete? Mine could do with a pick up it !
-
Did you you put a sneaky bid in for the one on eBay that sold today shavey ??
-
I thought the Diesel engines were hatz air cooled ? Have seen one roll at least three times , tbh although never seen the bearings fail on one the single feed roller is painful to use.
-
Was gonna say I've Seen handles on eBay for less than £20, I would not want to use any other saw in the work place, love the 560's !
-
McCulloch - was there ever a good one ?!

I'm tempted ! Just need an ignition coil and mine should be a runner though.
