    id say more to do with a faulty batch of 261,s rather than the type of usage as no other saw that ive used needs a new needle bearing every 2 weeks, obviously the less you use the brake or leave it idling will help but thats not the point. carl.

    the work one has loads of new new bearings and a new clutch drum but has worn the crank beyond use. not great for a saw thats about a year old. repair shop said it will be about 400 euro to fit a new crank!!!

    seems like the perfect excuse to go flash and get the carbon version!

    i thought a worn bar was mainly the groove becoming to wide for the drive links to fit snuggly?? how can you referb that? carl

    if your not sure just call the electric company, no point taking chances around electric lines. carl

    i dont have tons of experience with different chippers but the tracked jensens at work seem to do the job well without too many break downs. have you considered a tracked machine? i think they are the best thing ever... no more draggin. carl

    you could try and get a second opinion regarding a repair, some of the things the mechanic sound a bit odd to me. how is the saw otherwise? you will need to weigh up the cost of repairs vs new saw. i would think you should get more than 5 yrs out of a saw. i would imagine that size saw would suit your needs. lucky bugger with 10 hecters of woodland in france, where abouts? carl

    what ground control mesures do you put in place to stop someone, or a curious neighbors kid walking into the dropzone?? signs, cones. i cant see how anybody can argue that its just as safe with no groundy. why not get in a groundy? i would have thought there would be a queue of people wanting to work and learn from reg. i really enjoy and respect regs work and vids , so iam not having a go, just disscussing it as i assume he intended as he posted it here. carl

    thanks for sharing. id be worried about the dropzone being safe from the public, that second set of eyes can be important at times, ive lost count how many times ive had to tell people to keep away. carl

    def not a load of twaddle imo just a detailed post about the safety of configuring your own climbing system out of different pieces of gear that may or may not be designed to work that way, thanks for posting carl

    if it worked fine before you "went at it" then its probably something you did, so just try and undo what you did! carl

    cool vid thanks for sharing, lucky with the home owner, can be a real pain having them milling around.

    wish that was the case round here, ordered a echo tophandle delivered to my door from italy for literally half what i was quoted locally!! try to shop local but sometimes just doesn't make sense.
  20. carlos
    i saw them on a few french garden machinary sites a little while back but i guess one would have to ring to confirm. lovely little saw, hope mine lasts a while yet.
  21. carlos
    the echo cs501 sx is also a good saw, similar sort of size.
  22. carlos
    id go local dealer if there is not a massive difference, handy to build up a good two way relationship( they give you a fair price, you give them your custom) with your local dealer, can come in handy down the line when you want minimal downtime from broken tools. carl

    they were probably all the current old timers now saying how great they are:001_tongue:
  24. carlos
    any takers?? got about 12 foot up and decided the adjacent healthy sitka was a better option. of the remaining wall wood id say less than 10% was actually alive not quiet sure how the tree was staying up. managed to get a fell on the stem with a tirfor and side guy line.

    looks like a nice job to get hammdog.
