If you say can you do better most will meet you half way. One of the lads i work with up in Alnwick got loyds down from £720 to £670 on a 560 today. Robson and Cowan is an interesting shop though,but I would ring them first to see what they say like Nice to meet you yesterday and put a face to the grey git john
-
Hang on mate, that's £541+ vat so £650 ...but that's still not bad on a 560.

I got my 576 from Dixons but I like there service with huskys and they are the nearest dealers, I don't mind supporting my local dealers if they look after you , brought a saw in today and Steven stuck it on the diagnostic and reset the auto tune gave me a talk through of what was what with it, could of told me to get lost when I told him it was from jonsie ... Did you try Robson and cowens at Scott's gap they are pretty competitive got a new 560 for £550 when I needed one ASAP working in Morpeth.

X-Rigging Rings and new stuff (THT) from Xtreme Arborist
MattyF replied to theXman's topic in Rigging and roping
I've got some old poly prop topping strops in the back of the shed I'm sure.... -
The Stretch air vent climbing trousers are probably the lightest and flexible I've owned.... But they come at a price!!
-
Hi peter ! Do you have many second hand ones coming in ?
-
Every source posted to be fair has been from the telegraph though.
-
Agree there the 560 or 357 looses loads on 3/8 on any bar over 15"
-
Aye I will .... Will try and do a vid vs standard 560 for you as well.
-
Wish tree kit would do PayPal ! Thanks for the link will get around to it and some point.
-
Give it time to bed in!!a few tanks of fuel.. New bottom end and rings and all that. Did it tick over and run ok ?
-
Hi mate it's on eBay with more pics and description but £6500 plus vat may take any serious offers though.
-
Thanks , tried ordering through the link and it won't as its out side of Germany but hopefully they will get back with a shipping quote. Have not tried any thing but dyna glide for about 8 years as you say it throws nice and is supple unlike a lot of other lines. Look forward to trying some thing else but maybe it's my style of throwing, just smash it through with a 12 and wiggle it around on a 16 Oz to get the route I want... Probably lacking the finesse to throw with an 8oz!!

Roger that Bob, Sierra ,teakettle,BBQ Over and out captain.... It would make Arb talk far more interesting. I did allow the notifications Steve but if some one farted on the forum at 2am you get notified and that got annoying after a while.
-
I recon I can throw accurate about 50-60ft with a 16oz would prefer a 12 or 14 but would not go lighter than a twelve... Basically the 16 is only there for rerouting a high line. Got a 10oz on at the minute and I nearly took it off and launched it as far as possible after spending 15 mins getting a shot in a cedar and after finally bagging it the bloody thing would not come down... I can't see how people get shots on a 8oz unless they only climb beech or eucalyptus ? What line are you using as I have one possible theory dyna glide is heavier than the bag on high shots !
-
Got your pm mate, that does not seem to bad .. But then what do I know! Get the vids up !!
-
You don't get really any warning with the app about pms no flashing in the top corner ... I've gone days without realising so I fail to see what your getting upset about! A head up is nice!
-
What was it reading Steve??
-
In terms of vibes definitely. Worked with a guy who runs a 440 mag on Monday and it was the first thing he commented on with 5 mins on a 576xp was in his exact words smoother!
-
I've only had to replace the clutch on my pretty modded 395 ,it does not seem to bother much else on it but it was the original !!and it's been used for milling hardwoods before and after modding which is probably harder on the running gear and seals /crank on a saw than any mods you could throw at it.
-
Noticed usually after about 12 /24 months depending on usage a change of the cam and especially the cam spring was necessary,but that was with the positioner 1. Have not had the 2 long enough to change anything yet or see if there's a difference in wear patterns but it's holding up well.
