From the service I have been given ... No

I see Steve what your saying but when I see my local dealer with flash cars and personal plates on them out side his show room I begin to wonder.. When I can barely pay my own bills that there is money to be made and I really don't feel sorry for them if I save £50 getting it some where else as I know he won't honour any warrantee with out a near out war any way .

Tbh I do as well , both so far have proven them selfs good ! But its a hard adjustment from using the 200t for so many years , found that the older climbers always complained about the 200t or 020 in its last guise but I found them second nature and still pick one up and feel at home... Not with the 201 !

Had the 560 for two years with no probs ...had the 540 since august and have only just kinda figured with the 540 that using the priming bulb stops this but I have never used the priming bulb on the 560. Chatting to another guy who brought one and is finding the same , no problems with cutting or running I just don't get why it needs cold starting if put down for 10 mins. Is yours the same Adam?
-
201's I have used have felt underpowered and flimsy I own a 540 I like it but it does need constant cold starting also its quite hard to pull over IMO so it can be frustrating.

It's an ancient farmi 3.5 tonne, was my fathers in the 80's found it at the back of a barn of the guy who brought his company and did a swap for an hs80.. Looks horrible but does the job!

Classic Tractor ready for Monday and winch clutch adjusted and hopefully ready to go !

Was there much dead wood or any die back when you visited?
-
Personally I climb with a shorter rope as it's easier to pull about and manage ,I have a 45 m but have probably only used it 5 times last year its a pita to manage if you don't need the length. I take a second rope any way so will install that lower down and switch over if extra length is needed but the trees around here are not massive!

Mature sycamore ...

Well I was 25 when my hands started going all flid 10 years later I can only put that down to using saws with better anti vibes.
-
Older huskies and stihls just to high in vibes to consider as a day in out saw any more IMO .. My hands have never felt better from using 3 and 5 type huskies over last 5 years

That vid despite being shockingly boring really does not do justice to the performance added to that 357 to the work its had done though mate, martins let me loose on it a few times and its impressive.
-
Martin if your referring to myself you have hurt my feelings ... Txt me if you wanna go halfs on it there's only about 9ft of trunk he's logged the rest... Maybe we could persuade Steve to lend us his new 066.

We will have to have a rematch then!! Good to see you have a proper bar on it now,is it still running 325 ?
-
That's what I'm thinking too..
-
Second that spuds the man! Saved my 395 after seizing when it had the wrong fuel in it.
-
I've just replaced the clutch on my 395 but that's all it runs and is about 7 years old ,with one rebuild and port job by spud.
-
Yours looks a nice machine I have never seen one with a pto.
-
Is the ul140 running a hydraulic chipper or pto ?
-
Rev boost is awesome... Wish it was on my t540!
-
It will split unlike any thing you have seen!! Half inch diamonds across the rays approx 3" apart .. Also the worst wood to try and split dry but ok wet.
-
I would love one of these! Pm me some prices please, Like Zara's finger grip style.
-
Fair play to you mate and welcome to the world of Arb talk!

No tree quip it does not and I stand corrected as usual by you no they don't but they will make your life hard or they will say no you can not reduced that tree by 36% or what ever you have put in for ....but always when I have my consent forms returned it say all works to be carried out to BS 3998.
