Search the forum,dean did a really good thread on rebuilding a 150 . They are bad mate! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

If you put 5 l of fuel a day through saws in a wood or spend the day running about with winch cable and chokers on a thinning job its hard work , if you have a defective 120ft poplar to dismantle or a 150 year old oak to reduce over hazards it's also taxing ... Cutting a few bits off garden pecker poles is a breeze and I would like to add any climber who does not make the people's life's on the ground easier or help when they are done needs sacking... On a whole I enjoy woodland work but it gets boring and repetitive after a week for me and I start to look forward to the easyness of Most day to day Arb instead. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

What problems have you had ? , can't be as flimsy as a 201 ... I've had a 540 since last august , dragging it around some Nasty stuff that would of usually snapped off a few 200t chain breaks and it's totally intact. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

My only problem is though mate the guy who owns the lock up is 20 metres away with wife and kids , my thought is I would not be able to forgive myself if they got hurt trying to do the right thing in the event of the alarm going off . these guys who did this have done us before with a load of steroid bulging freaks in broad day light. I'm quite sure they were there this time as I can't see how the tractor was moved. He seems very pro on me staying there at the minute so I that will be an option in future.

My insurance on paper looks great its just the anxiety of waiting to see what loss adjusters will do .. There is kit I don't have receipts for also that I have brought off friends. That's cool Martin ,it some how got back to another good friend who I have not spoken to in ages so we had a good natter and the more people that know the better as I'm sure this gear will resurface. A few more bits to I D the gear . The chipper had LED tail board with a battered rear end and slightly torn mud guard... Will try and confirm the serial number when I speak to orange plant who I brought it from.. Just paid it off last week as well! The 357xpg had a corner missing off the air box on the right hand side. The ms 150 had a 9mm hole drilled in the exhaust. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Hey all just again a massive thanks for the offers of woodchippers saws and kit . To any one in south Cambs beds north herts be on the look out for a black mondeo estate it was a p reg but we think these plates where false. I'm still trying to get my head around the fact they knew exactly what to go for and where things where. This is what was on the chipper. The floor chain on axle. Saw and kit bins burnt through Some how they managed to move a tractor with no battery and the winch dropped out of the way in front of two bollards. Removed the gate at the entrance. Smashed the CCTV security lights and the lock on the front of the shed. Luckily I had stashed 3 saws on a different site but no lids one was 4 days old and I had changed the chipper blades the night before I'm really annoyed I had not taken my climbing kit home with me as there was a lot of stuff I had picked up at shows I can't find receipts for now. All in all this has been a massive kick in the balls and I'm finding it hard at the minute to find any motivation to carry on with my company despite every thing work wise and financially better than it has been, these scum are watching me sitting out side my house and following me to my work shop , following us to jobs and back to the work shop, if you chase them they disappear , the police won't do a thing and it seems like it won't end here. Any ideas tips for security please pm me . Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I liked it all, so in a very british way I can only say " it was an awfully jolly good show and pip pip to you! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yes I did ! Know nothing about these saws just looking at the moment with interest for a 372 replacement. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yeah I remember that one , I'm just curious if tree guys have had them go or the chippers stolen.. My thought at the moment is they are a lot less desirable than a road tow chipper or an Ali sided landrover. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Has any body heard or had a mog stolen?? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

The timber is all old growth so has tighter rings and much sought after by craftsmen I've heard is another reason. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Reading up the dolmar 9010 is lighter than the 461 and about the same as the 576 and more power than both... And cheaper , so it seems a no brainer so far... But ed your comparison on it with the 576 is what I'm waiting for... The only dislike I can see with the 9010 is the limited ignition module and its a tiny bit heavier than the legendary 9000 it replaced that revs out higher but the 9010 does have a stronger crank. There is a guy still selling 9000's on eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Is it not more of a saw in the 576-460 Class.. That's the only reason I'm looking at them. How would you put it against your 576. ? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I always was under the assumption they came in one size length when new, I have always had to cut the length down to suit the tractor. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Be careful not to damage/ring bark the trees if you decide to remove, its easy to damage and kill mature trees. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I disagree,for the user its good the power and torque is unstoppable on the husky ones any way ..people just don't like change ! Can't speak for the stihl m Tronic saws though and I wouldn't buy a stihl any way. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I'm using a 395 on a 36" bar for milling it is ok ,a little sluggish in hard woods and have not had many trees that won't fit and needed ripping .. You will not get a 36" cut though probably more around 28 as the felling dogs get in the way and the mill has to be mounted about2- 3" under from the top bar sprocket or it will pinch it up.
