  1. The 357xpg pulls an 18" b/c just fine I run mine with 8pin and .325 but it pulls 3/8 perfectly well also !!!
  2. I have 3/8 16" b/c setup and it sure cuts fast, but I run .325 on my 346xpg so it's nice to able to change bars and chains as I like, and most of the cutting I do is in spruce or pine and for limbing I like the .325 better !!
  3. DO you need a ticket to buy a top handle chainsaw !?!?!
  4. What chain do you prefer on it and why ?? .325 with 7rim sprocket .325 with 8rim sprocket 3/8 with 7rim sprocket just a bit curious since you guys in England cut similar trees like us Swedes !! I like it with .325 8rim sprocket and 15"-18" bar (both chisel and semi). I think the .325 gives a smooth ride in the cut //All the best Kipp
  5. I was looking in pfanner catalog and think I saw some high wiz clothing there that looked intresting, might be worth to take a look at !! I know they got some "roadwork classed" chainsaw pants and jacket that seems to be nice
  6. why do you want to change the bridge ?
  7. I would not buy the 365, the 372xpg is made on the same chassis ,,, approx the same weight but more power, so go for the 372xpg or a 357xpg !!
  8. Good post Pete, I'm training the climbing for now and until I feel confident in the clmibing and what to do with the climbing gear I won't use a chainsaw up in a tree !! Thanks for the help and advice //Kipp
  9. From the "good bye brits" thread at da'house I like this place allot, the work you brits do is more up to the tree work in Sweden where I live, so as far as for learning stuff this is the best site for me !!! Good job Steve !!
  10. Should not be a problem, I have run an 18" .325 on my 346xpg and it worked just fine and those two (026/260) saws are some what "comparabel" .
  11. First try ,, yeah I know I don't have helmet, they got stolen out of the truck from my friend who ownes the climbing gear ,,,,,,
  12. Heres a pic of my other Leonberger Alfred
  13. Did you solve the felling problems ??
  14. Hmm can't find a welcome about me ,,,, so I welcome myself to this neat place
  15. Thats some really nice trees !! thanks for sharing
  16. Here are the saws of my choice
  17. My oldest Leonberger Nelson
  18. Well sounds like I have to keep on climbing and things should be better, thing is I feel safer climbing on the limbs with out any gear at all, So it's maybe more about getting used to all the gear Thanks for all replys !!!
  19. How long did it take for you guys/gals to find trust in your climbing gear, for me it seems to be a bit of a struggle I know that the gear is rated so it could lift a car or two but still I don't feel that i'm in the trust yet ,,,,, any tips would be nice !!! //Kipp
  20. I think there is a dual outlet factory cover for those saws, that will make it run cooler and best of all stronger !! If you are palnning on adding an extra outlet your self it's not so difficult to braze another pipe to the muffler and it works wonders A pic of the one I made for my 372xpg !!
  21. Here is good link about how to tune a saw, it tells you very good how to do it and also has soundfiles for idle and full rev ! check out "Saw tuning" http://web.archive.org/web/20051018044450/www.madsens1.com/sub8.htm
  22. Colin was for me the highlight of the Swedish rally and think he did more for the rally sport then any other driver, if you ask someone who don't know anything about rally you can be sure they know the name Colin Mcrea !! RIP ,,,
  23. I tested some Aspen in an old 166sg that had been run on regular gas/mix, and that saw did spit some sparks out the muffler allot of deposits left the saw, not sure I would like try it in new saw that had been run on regular/mix ,,, I run all my saws on Apsen and like it, but be carefull if your saw is used to regular gas !!
