  1. I have one as a back up for the 540, it hasn't got the grunt but is a good saw, I choose it over the 540 on hot days as it starts first pull. Does feel like you are pulling a Christmas Turkey round the tree with you due to the shape of the exhaust/cover. Groundie has nicknamed it the butterball ?. But for the price it does the job quite well.
  2. The best all-rounder, still can't believe the power to weight 5 years on.
  3. 550 or 560, if I only had one saw it would be a 560?
  4. Mewp or subby? ?
  5. Sawing on the beach would lead to sand dulling the chain ?
  6. Ernest doe power always have steel wedges on sale, I have to admit I do like steel wedges and most of the time grab them first, saying that EDP are crap for most other ARB related products
  7. Educate the customer, suggest thin and explain and then they request a Pollard anyway. I agree Pollard's can look great and prefer to see them than removal?
  8. From the photos it looks like it would have looked nice with just a 25 percent thin.
  9. But then it feels like someone else is doing it for you ??
  10. Grippy gloves help loads, put a pulley in with your prussik, you don't need a zig zag and can stay on 13mm rope which is easier to grip. A good camsaver and keep at it you'll find the arm pump will soon vanish ?
  11. I see a new reg invention on the horizon, a drone that installs the climbline (obviously in a Canadian giant, not a UK sapling) ? great video, thanks for sharing
  12. The way it sounds it's cutting speed the way it feels in your hands They will spray them full orange and let straight men use them next ?
  13. 10mm is best in my opinion on 13mm rope the Marlow Boa is only 9mm, that 1mm makes a difference, that's what I tell my Mrs anyhow ?
  14. Anything with 360g/l of glyphosate, I use glyphos, Gallup, and rosate
  15. We had similar with our new 550 this spring, the decompressor was not flying out most of the time, replaced and fine now ?
  16. Yeah, lovely saw, replaced my 12 year old 357 with a 560, has a bit more go in it and a bit lighter, although I have had to replace an oil pump and worm which was a bit disappointing as it hasn't done much work really. Nice saw to use though ?
  17. At least with loler you would be guaranteed one more hand job a year than I get ??
  18. Could be interesting for a loler inspector ?
  19. Sometimes if the pump is on the way out the saw will pump oil out without a bar and chain on but when back together and in the wood they aren't oiling enough
  20. 18 inch is perfect in my opinion ?
  21. I thought that the assessment questions and answers were online for the modern NPTC qualifications
  22. I was wrong, holding cut is the dogtooth with regard to aerial cutting.
  23. I thought holding cut was a step cut, saw away then snap the wood off with both hands a throw clear. Dog tooth is a dogtooth, bore/release. To be honest if you can explain/show as you did on here in your post, the examiner would be fine. You know why you make each cut, names don't really matter ?
