We put a 20" on the 395 when the 372 played up this summer I would not want to use it for more than 10 minutes let alone a day it's not really a ergonomic lightweight snedding and limbing saw. The 390 is a bit better in weight but is noticeably less powerful. It's all down to what you are actually going to use the saw for?
-
Yeah my auto tunes have been doing the same ... These saws have some serious power and torque, I've had the 540 since august and it gets stronger every day, the torque through the cut now is getting unbelievable for a small saw , down side its caning my wrist pulling it over ... Are 560 is just stupidly quick any way but in these conditions I'm picking it up over the 372 all the time, Just like a turbo charged car they love the lower temps.
-
560 without a doubt.
-
Its mixed... Elm and thorn predominantly.. As for style I think the customer would go with what ever is been offered I think it was previously midland though.
-
Well put mate.

Hi I have a run of a 110 metres previously layed 10+ years ago out side of Baldock in hertfordshire, would any body on here be interested ? or point me in the direction of some one who would, I would be much appreciated thanks ,mat.

That's to the original poster mate ... I'm sure I know this guy and I know what he spends on running his buisness renting yards and his crew costs so I can't really blame him for trying to sell what others see as rubbish even though he's giving away his kindling! Price of timber is dear as you know!

They are on two different sites some miles apart .. The listing you are talking about is offered as free. The other option is you buy wet conifer at £45 per tonne road side and pay for haulage and you will still have to buy a decent chainsaw and splitter no matter what.. Are you feeling disgruntled after your log burner sales man told you it would be heating your home for nothing?
-
If you told him all that, its not surprising jim told you to do one.
-
You think those 357's are up for taking on the 560 now mate
-
Stop bigging Steve up he won't be able to get his head in the work shop to fix the crappy saws I keep giving him
-
Cheers hodge, same to you as well bro.
-
Ok I agree ... I wasn't going to post any more on this thread until you asked ... I made my point which really might not agree with your experiences but I'm just saying mate , I can't stand coke heads!!
-
Hodge yes I have .. I lived with a dealer for 5 years I have had friends and family commit suicide through been in debt through coke and die from heart attacks to other diseases I won't tell you much more but trust me mate I know I have been seen and done all drugs and they destroy life's from alcohol to heroin and hash ...I have had friends die under hedges and in front of there kids or had social services take there kids off them and that ruin there life's ... Complete mugs game... But I can generalise and say coke heads are the biggest dicks I have ever met ...

I've heard many of the lads rave about how strong they are dead, that can be the case but equally as with any dead tree lignin breakdown happens especially if the tree or parts of the tree are in the shade or have ivy on so Work with caution. From my own personal experience I had a 35-40" limb crack off and go through a wall setting it up to rig and the decay and lignin break down in the timber was some of the worse I have seen.... So examine for fungi and other weakness before climbing like any other tree as obviously not all if it can be like iron!
-
Hi jon pm a price you have in mind mate.
-
But not on the tools.
-
On a whole I find the worst are coke heads .. centre of attention ,deluded idiots who I can not stand to be around or listen too. At least the weed smoker will keep himself to himself and just get on with things in there own little world with out turning it in to a He-man drama! The drinkers ... Well I may fall in to that category

MattyF replied to likeitorlumpit's topic in Maintenance help
The vent ??? Ok.. How come my first km130 never did this and despite replacing the vent my latest km still floods every time it's put down ?? -
Looks an awsome bit of kit to me
-
I agree there ... that's what separates us from them and makes you boys professionals .
-
Have you tried a VT i would not go back to anything else ..
-
Steves had it a few times .. I keep meaning to eBay it but he tells me engine wise its good and it is ... It's just all the other bits that were put together on a Friday afternoon.

[ATTACH]140180[/ATTACH] They come in quite a few different colours even the every popular power rangers theme... they look really well thought out with a few nice features and at that price I'm not complaining its about time we stopped getting mugged off for decent gear. Alex m was going to do!! A review in them and it's all thumbs up.

Do a quick google then when your on there site they come straight up when you search chainsaw trousers , they are only type a but that suits me fine!
