Why? They are pretty uncomfortable, to change pads and spurs isn't cheap either
-
That's bad luck! But glad it worked out positive. Yeah I've always climbed in long spurs but tried short and seem much easier on majority of trees. Buckinghams always seemed cumbersome and uncomfortable after a couple of hours or more
-
If you want to sell your Buckinghams give me about please Will do, but I was probably going to keep them with longer spurs in case I had thick bark or a rotten stem etc but I'll let you know.
-
Thanks, yeah I'd get them from honeys when I buy. Distels were the others I have been looking at so handy to know you wouldn't change ?
-
Brilliant! Gerry is a legend, it still makes me sick how good he is with a throwline ?
-
They look very comfortable in the photos, but what are the spikes like, easy to sharpen? They look totally different to the usual American style most use
-
Another thumbs up for Beranek, have the book and both climbing DVDs bought for me by my wife over ten years ago. Good for beginners and even a seasoned pro would learn a trick or two ?
-
I know this has been asked many times before but there seems to be so much more choice now. I don't climb every day and have always used the old Buckingham's with long spurs always tell myself after spending a day in them that I will replace. I'm getting older and have tried shorter spurs in the past which I prefer and id like lighter and more comfort. Which sort should I go for? Not too fussed on price as I know how important comfortable good spikes are. Thanks

To be fair after the shit Essex weather this week I was tempted to get in the dryer after work ?
-
I have the triple on order, have been waiting since before this post, typical for Jones ?. But thanks for the heads up ?
-
Money shot ??
-
Hahaha just looked at the pic....is that car window smashed ??
-
I do agree, but definitely not with a blade, I got hit from a little 130 engine a few years ago that hurt ?, let alone a proper blade on a proper engined strimmer
-
Fitted the shredder guard today and both a 300mm shredder blade and a 270mm shredder blade. There's clearance I think it'd be ok, what do you guys think?
-
Ok, so I ordered the shredder guard for the 460. But is says max diameter 270mm, and I had bought two 300 mm Oregon shredder blades. Do they fit? How do you guys work around this?
-
That's what imagined would probably happen. Appreciate you putting the photos in, gives a good scale of the shredder guard too. Thank you ?
-
That would be great, thanks. Just want change overs to be as easy as possible ?
-
Thanks for the reply, yes it looks like only for line trimming....this is the guard
-
Hi, I have Stihl 460 brush cutter with just a strimmer head with the mowing guard(with black rubber flap and knife for cord length. But....I want to run some blades, double and triple mulching blades and also the metal Tri flat blade. What do you guys recommend, obviously to prevent objects getting thrown I want a guard, even though I know it slows cutting. Can I just take the cord knife and flap off? Should I buy the metal blade guard? Is the shredder guard necessary or too restrictive? I will be swapping from line to blade on some sites so just want the best all round setup if possible. Thanks

Had a 98 entec that I only sold a couple of year ago. It had a no stress unit. When it broke,around 2010 I had it replaced with the same system as the timberwolf 125/150, it only cost 3-400 quid from memory (at prochip) and was still working well when I sold it ?
-
Never get bored of any of his videos, superb work and big balls.... I remember seeing a video of him back notching a top and the coming down and felling the other direction so that it folded into a small drop zone, it was superb but I can't seem to find it
-
Don't sell it!! Really regret selling my 357, great saw and that looks in good nick. It'll still be going when the newer ones are on the scrap heap
-
Wish I had known this when I have had to lightly reduce tree of heaven, bloody horrible trees to get out on limbs to prune lightly.....would have been a good way to get out of it ?
-
I used the 1300 on a job helping a friend in a narrow access job. It was quite impressive for its cost and size, but I wouldn't want it any smaller

Husqvarna King replied to Witterings's topic in Maintenance help
I thought these (Stihl ones) looked a good idea....these pics have really put me off. Thanks for your review ?
