    You can still get 7900's? What is the anti vibe set up with them?

    Ok depending on size of poles and size of rope guide ... I have a snake anchor and pulley for bigger stuff or there is SRT... The rope guide choked hard can be difficult to retrieve.
  6. MattyF
    Would not climb DRT with out mate,keep your ropes clean and last longer as there is less friction but most importantly climbing is effortless and smooth... If you have climbed without it may take a week or so to get used too but I can't see why any body would go back.

    Are they the cast or bladed type ? We changed ours from cast to bladed ...was not much left on them but transformed the machine.
  8. MattyF
    Oh dear ... I might start climbing in a suit, shave my beard and cut my hair.
  9. MattyF
    That was my take on it as they would not tell us. That was why with every chipper brought since we did not bother, I am assuming now though you can track it your self with the new tech available.
  10. MattyF
    Also another problem with trackers is organised thief's have scanners... Still at £100 it's worth a shot especially if you can track it your self and not rely on third party's I suppose.
  11. MattyF
    They don't tell you though for that reason, it's between them and the police hence why I would not bother again for the fees unless some thing has changed??
  12. MattyF
    Not from mine , police will not go on traveller sites as they need armed response , helicopters and a lot of man power...I reported a theft and got the tracker activated on one within 20 mins once and there was no recovery full stop.

    My 560 will not cold start with the brake on I seem to remember my old 372 didn't either, personally I would never even try and cold start a saw with the chain brake on, I think it's ridiculous its taught you should be anticipating the chain moving when starting and in a clear space any way surely??Can not be doing saw clutches or brake bands any favours either.

    Any one know of where to get big dogs for an 880,ours got taken off for milling and lost one, would be handy for this bar.
  18. MattyF
    Engine carb the same , bar mount and running gear I believe are the only difference.
  19. MattyF
    There will be people on soon to slate them😄
  20. MattyF
    From cold or hot? I would not cold start any saw with the break on ,no saw really likes it either..
  21. MattyF
    I would say a 7.5 tonner cris would get the most out of your chipper.
  22. MattyF
    Look after them , keeping the blades sharp and rollers helps, productivity and longevity of the machine. We have a 2002 150 that's still going strong , put a new bottom roller in there couple of weeks ago and it's like a new machine .... But very rusty ! Same with jensons if they are abused they will fail spectacularly as well, I saw one break up its fly wheel and bits go through the engine writing it off once another snap its axle in transport.

    Was looking at the RB's a while back if you read the feedback on the ARRSE forum from troops who have worked on and used them it will put you off for life, You will not find not one positive comment.
  24. MattyF
    One of the guys I sub for has one of the prototypes so used it a couple of times and it's impressive I would say on par with a 190. The grease points are a great idea ,internally it's very well thought out with easy blade change with double sided blades the fans are steel and it has huge Greasable main bearings,double heavy duty springs for the wide rollers. It eats big lumps and crushes branches to feed well. If I was in the market for a machine for bang per buck I would choose it for sure.

    Still going mate. I marvel the bridge at wark it took 6 weeks to build over 100 years ago and in 2014 took 6 months and counting to paint!!
