Think is a good thing they make these in the uk . For the right job its great my only gripe is its pretty heavy but if you man up and get going you can move a hell a lot of tree a lot more easily than dragging. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Its a good saw , nice and powerful about 88cc I suppose a 390 is about on par for a modern spec. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Quite appalling ear protection at only SNR= 26db ,using a screaming saw like a 560xp all day i recon tinnitus will be quite likely. Also don't like the way some thing falls off it every time you pick one up. 4-10 from me. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

If a saw is cutting its Farley obvious some some thing will be coming out the tree pretty soon ... This particularly applies when your climber is using a big saw... Look up and access and stay out the drop zone if there's any risk! Don't stack brash in rows that overlap the nearest to the chipper so it makes it a pita to chip with out a vast effort of pulling out branches from each other. Keep checking the climbers rope for fallen debris. Try not to drag brash bundles facing down the side of newly painted houses and walls. If snedding out big lowered lumps make your cuts count so you don't have to pick up a saw by the chipper because there is a 9" peg off a branch union jamming the rollers. Listen watch and learn and stay aware as every job and situation is different and it makes the day go quicker than staring at your mobile texting all day. Don't spill your climbers pint whilst taking it to the beer garden at the end of the day.. Try and have a talk about how the team operated and any issues you have.... Enjoy a job welldone.

I would not of fancied my chances myself in the Normandy breakouts in the British Canadian sectors against the infamous heer and ss tiger battalions or the fanatics of hitlerjugend. we took heavy losses we could replace... they could not. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

They took on hitlers most fanatical and elite units who fought to the death in Normandy, they were far from worn out,are boys deserve massive respect for being pushed to there deaths in waves to crush the nazi regime and destroy the german army in Normandy. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I try and work too cutting the steps double the width of the branch with foliage for a long section. The width and an inch for a short section. Timber can vary depending on size and weight infact so can branch wood but generally the double width rule works if there is no wind, heavy wet foliage and fruit.... basically there's to many variables to give a firm rule! Only experience will give you an idea. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Used a couple of 201s in the last month a standard one and a modded one both could not keep up with a new 200t the 540 does... Maybe it's slightly faster as well. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Examined quite a few shoots on late barely opening ash today and there's plenty of ash moth on all the trees we looked at that appeared stressed and opening late. Also did a climbing inspection on a dead ash in a school last Friday that had been killed by root rot and no evidence of chalara, looking at trees in similar situations on the way back it becomes apparent there is a lot of waterlogged soil about that can not be helping.

The only reason I can think of people not reporting stolen gear would be if the gear was stolen in the first place and if that's the case you deserve it anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
