Hi I still have the Red and yellow one for sale if anyone is interested.

I think they are re-branded Stein for the UK market, come out at a good price to thanks to Steins buying power. We see a lot of it over here Stihl sell Ochsenkopf axes branded as Stihl, and Elten boots branded as Stihl Husky are selling the new Petzl helmet as Husky Wait till next year you might see some Jonesie products soon.

Selling the gear.

Congrats Enjoy it as they grow so quick my little Frankie is 20 months now, only seems like yesterday I was on gas and air.

We always keep about 20 in stock, so we never run out. One still start getting low we will load up on them.

10 percent isn't good, but some of those came in on the strength of what's being said. As far as the 660s go I've had 3 back that I can think of, but not sure how many I've sold in that period of time. But I remember a thread a few years ago about the 660s not oiling properly, there never was a problem but all of a sudden we had a rush of them turning up to be looked at. I do hope the 201 isn't going to be a problem saw, as I need it to be as good as you do.

They have a problem with a few that need retuning, we've sold about 100 of the 201 and only had about 10 come back. We've also had a lot of good comments on it as well. Hope you all get your saws sorted and if not get in quick as the 200T will run out. And with no dates on the Husky it will be a 201 or a cheep and nasty.

I'll make sure cake is next to the machine.

It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in or...der to pick one to spend th...e night. The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna. The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town. No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.... And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works

Hi Thanks for the input guys:thumbup:, It will be Kingswood doing the training not me as I'm not insured to. They will get a certificate to say they have attended a days domestic training for use with a saw. This is not a pro course and is there to give people the basics of using a saw correctly.

No 1 day, split Morning and Afternoon.

We are just about to launch a new chainsaw training day, aimed at the domestic market. This would be done at Kingswood Training Services. Lantra and NPTC approved Tree Surgery Training Courses | Kingswood Training - Chainsaw Training, Arb Training, Climbing Courses, Forestry Courses After a few discussions with domestic customers asking if there is anywhere that does a chainsaw training day, to give them the basics in chainsaw use. We have come up with this. Let me know what you think, I know your mostly pros on here but the domestic market is big and I would rather have something to offer them than nothing at all when they ask. Please give me your honest feedback, I think we are the first to offer this and can offer it as a package with a chainsaw. ONE DAY - INTRODUCTION TO SAFE AND EFFICIENT USE OF CHAINSAWS. Course will be in 2 parts: Workshop based: A look in detail at how the chain works, and how to avoid kickback Correct sharpening, chain tension and why it matters! This would include choosing the correct files, understanding filing angles and how chain tension affects cutting speed. The chain brake - what it does, and how to use it properly Cleaning the air and fuel filters - in order to develop full power the engine needs a constant supply of clean air and petrol. The starter mechanism - How to replace the cord, and re-tension the spring. Fueling and lubrication - two-stroke mixing and the chain lubrication system. Protective clothing - what you should wear and how it protects you. Tension and compression in timber - understand when the saw is likely to become trapped Forest based: Site safety - lone working - does someone at the very least know where you are and what you are doing? Do you have a suitable First Aid Kit? Does your mobile have a signal? Safe starting procedures - how to start the saw ergonomically from cold and hot Safety checks - a look at how to ensure the the saw is operating correctly before using it Stance and grip - how to hold the saw, and where it should be in relation to your body. Using the throttle correctly - getting the saw to produce ample power without blowing it up! Pulling and pushing chains - how the saw reacts in relation to the wood Cleaning and storage after use Saturdays 9am - 4pm (or 10 - 5) if preferred. Bring a packed lunch and flask and ppe if owned. £79 + vat

Can we have a pic of the worn spikes.
