    Approx. 1 Kg heavier with AP 200 battery than a 150 TC, thats what put us off.

    I would welcome the chance to call in sometime thanks. Your Dad gave my Brother a tour of your grounds a few years ago when you were rearing birds.

    Just realised you live close to one of my sisters - Liz. That was a wise business move to get in on the RHI in the very early days. I was up there end of last year and Tom showed me the effects of Ash Dieback on your young Ash trees - sad to see. Small world . Regards

    The Stihl 150C and TC comes with them and I would be ordering them with the saw if not fitted as standard.

    Get rid of the word 'Topping' like yesterday and those images of failed trees - scaremongering is frowned upon in the industry. Oh and what everyone else says.

    Informative video, clearly aimed at the layperson - have you just started the business have gained some certificates ? Expect some 'to the point feedback' to follow, which should help if you take on board what advice is offered.

    Happy days - he's finishing same for me and it will be a red letter day for sure when it arrives back

    The wrap is inexpensive, quick to fit and if the wood is dry already its a good solution. With changing winds the IBC's are protected on all sides. If the wood is outside any risk of fungi growing is reduced, as there will always be some airflow, especially in your exposed location. Shelter barriers can work well, especially twin wall where extreme exposure, but for effective timber drying they rather defeat the object and arn't providing 360 protection for your application. Worthy of consideration for your buildings though - buy the expensive Tensar or similar, as other types have no durability - secure well by following manufacturers installation instructions. We have some in a great dark green colour - 5 years and still perfect! Good luck

    That's quantifiable reassurance - thanks
  10. arboriculturist
    Perfect solution and the wrap degradation will be zero for the time required.

    I think spud is the only one with all the answers!

    I would suggest that the lifespan of the saw would be increased as the power is increased and the saw would spend far less time bogging/bogged down, when stress levels rise at those parameters. Wouldn't advocate a larger bar though, others views may vary.
  13. arboriculturist
    OK - Forget the Echo then Spud!
  14. arboriculturist
    It's either port the 150 or go down the Echo route - CS-2510 CES, and I definitely have not heard of spud porting the Echo model comparable with the 150.
  15. arboriculturist
    This may have been covered before, but couldn't find the thread - but has anyone experience of having a 150 climbing saw ported ? You always seem to be waiting for the saw even with a perfect chain. I though it a good idea to ask for worksite views here before running it past Spud.

    The only time I've seen a bars badly bent, is with inexperienced climbers doing outboard step cuts on the 2nd cut freefalling limbs. Very likely to be left hand cutters sharpened shorter or longer than the r/h ones, or possibly the top right angle corners damaged on the cutters one side if a full chisel chain. You mentioned sharpening issues already - either way buy him a new chain and learn from your mistake. We've all been there mate, these things happen!
  17. arboriculturist
    Check the Bar for straightness, if OK, buy him a new chain and keep the old one, that way he will still feel good about you borrowing the saw.
  18. arboriculturist
    This is music to my ears ! - Just sent mine off to Spud. It's has been a great saw for a long long time and I expect even greater when Spud's worked his magic.
  19. arboriculturist
    Perfect, I think the reduced airflow will adversely effect drying times on your normal sized logs, which as you know is critical. Great solution for smaller sizes though. Thanks
  20. arboriculturist
    That's cunning - they must stand the Kiln heat ok then. Must be fiddly keeping them in place while you fill, or perhaps they lip over the top of IBC while you fill. Thanks
  21. arboriculturist
    What have you lined the IBC's with Ash?
  22. arboriculturist
    Just for the record, do you have a price list for porting a range of saws? In addition, how do you price up rebuilds as we have a few saws here that need just that, including a MS200, a 346xp and a 357xp? Thanks
  23. arboriculturist
    Water resistant EVA is what you need - Unibond make it. good luck.
  24. arboriculturist
    They have the CS-280TES for 320e -so your in luck !

    Ask BIG J - he's your man
