Just brought one with solid wheels having borrowed one for a few jobs,I thought its a great piece of kit and does come in to its own if conditions suit. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Agree , AV's are better than ever, auto tune gives the optimum of the saws performance. Don't think we ever had it so good. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I use 12oz to 16 0z and would not use anything lighter , nothing more frustrating than spending 5 mins getting a nice high target then the bag won't come back down ! Will cradle between legs and throw for high stuff , under arm swing for real low and the big shot comes out for the hard and high ones if you need to really punch through a canopy. Been using New England dynaglide for a long time ,find its suppleness an advantage you either love it or hate that quality in a throw line though.

Two in ten easily maybe even four I can't say

Couldn't you just buy a bag of calks and put them in some normal saw boots??
-
Same seller has a unimog that has was on months back for the same price as the chipper.

There's also a tracked machine for 39 pounds ... Bargain!
-
Lol ,Do the same but with apple tree pruning and hedge cutting as well.
-
That's possible mate... Very possible

A 560 in a box of bits , quite interesting seeing how they work !

My bad I should of read the title of this thread as I thought it was purely about bio oil! I got a load of this for trial but never used it.. I think there's some still in the workshop. Interested to hear more views on it though.
-
Never had that problem with chains sticking, I have been mixing normal bio with rapeseed oil though so it still has some tacking agent and the results on long bars have not been too good, lots of heat and chain stretch , if it was pure rape seed I image the problem worse but it could be an oil issue on the 395.

Very nicely done.

I'm all for the cluttered look then especially on sycamore , better than a load of epicormic buds shooting out because there's not enough foliage and plenty of new light hitting dormant buds and exploding a load more for good measure. But that's my opinion think you did a very good job Alex's advice on the one third rule is spot on.

Schliesing is what you want ... No contest in comparison to any thing else. I am quite happy with a tw 150 the ford mondeo of the chipper world, it has a good out put, performs well ,cheap and parts are very readily available.

395 noticeably has more power .. I sold a 288 as I stopped using it when I got the 395. The 288 was superseded by the 390. If it was solely for in tree use though I would possibly choose the 390.
-
Give me a 560 any day of the week , mines over 2 now, used hard and has had one fault that spud fixed for under £50 and it still never stops impressing me the power it punches.. Don't own a 362 but have nearly fallen asleep but frustration kept me awake on the ones I have used.
-
Sprocket or solid nose bars?? One has a sprocket and in turn does not sap as much power as a solid nose, very rare to come across solid nose bars these days though unless on very big bars on carving bars.

Engelbert Strauss chainsaw trousers - ongoing review
MattyF replied to alex_m's topic in General chat
Value for money and well thought out but the cheaper type are definitely are no stretch airs but at the price you can not complain ,had mine 3-4 months but they lack flex. The most expensive pair they do I feel would be a lot better and that's only another 20 quid. -
And its a week out of warranty !
-
Interested to hear about the main gasket as mine went today.
-
Shame its 357's and not 560's mate !
