  1. Had a 560 for a couple of years john, 15" 3/8, my favourite saw. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. If the 555 is lacking rev boost I would not tempted at all ,having spent 2 days snedding and cross cutting with a 357 I would gladly buy another 560 and can't wait to get mine sorted ! After two years using one you forget just how good the rev boost is ! I never saw the point in 50 cc saws though I had a 346 and used 260's and would kill them working !! rather swing a 60cc saw all day and have the extra power and not have to push it to its limits all the time.. I'm also regret buying a 372 miss the extra grunt saws like the ms460 offer for a little bit more weight. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. There's a guy on eBay selling the 7900's from Italy at a fair price ... Feed backs not to good though. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  5. Well my 372 has had its day fancy a bit more power which one would you go for and why? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  6. As beautiful as the rays are It's not a very stable timber or has the strength of normal oak which would be why it's not regarded as a sought after timber to mill... If ever I have offered it to a friend to mill for free he's turned me down. Seth you have a real issue with timber being logged don't you , can I just add if you turners turned up and actually gave us something in return for it we would save more! Personally I save as much decent timber as possible but it gets bloody annoying having some one snoop around asking questions and taking your time for half hour thinking he's doing you a favour, Slack bladder on here was great to deal with and can come back any time but the last two people who asked me I ignored or said no as before they just came along criticising how I store my wood, taking my time then taking timber whilst still complaint about how much we waste whilst offering you nothing for it is just offensive... No Wonder people just think sod it and log it.. Sorry just had to get that off my chest:) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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.
  20. Two in ten easily maybe even four I can't say
  21. Couldn't you just buy a bag of calks and put them in some normal saw boots??
  22. Same seller has a unimog that has was on months back for the same price as the chipper.
  23. There's also a tracked machine for 39 pounds ... Bargain!
  24. Lol ,Do the same but with apple tree pruning and hedge cutting as well.
  25. That's possible mate... Very possible
