your starting to sound a bit like sawtroll on the subject of echos !!
-
we have two echo 501SX at work seem to be great saws, super light and nice and revvy . cant comment on the new husky equivalent but its simmilar to the older 346xp. not as powerfull as the stihl 261 but ours suffered the needle bearing issue and no longer really works shame as lovely saw otherwise. so all in all i would have no problems recommending the echo 501SX carl
-
dont like all this talk of what rope it does or dosent like , which colour it prefers, id rather hope that after buying it it will work with the rope in my bag ( my only one)
-
have you got any ideas when the akimbo will be for sale generally ??
-
thats a shame , nothing more annoying than a saw that stalls, we had a ms260 that would idle all day and as soon as you picked it up it stalled, used to drive me mad. hope you get it sorted. carl
-
nice truck
-
was that a 261? did you replace the crank and still find it wrecked bearings and caused the chain brake to stall it? just asking because we are considering a new crank on one at work but not sure whether the problem will surface again. thanks carl.
-
would love to have a play with that!!! not so much snedding involved me thinks:thumbup:
-
the lack of petrol engine noise is an obvious advantage to the climber in the tree but do people find the lack of noise means that the groundie is in the way more and at a higher risk?? i havent used a battery saw or worked alongside one so just curious. thanks carl
-
its held on by a hex bolt so dont think it will come off just get mangled after a few hits, this style of chain catcher is fairly new to me but id say they are more robust than the traditional ali ones, sthil have changed some of there saws to this style. that said no harm in a spare. carl
-
thanks for explaining, great work as usual
-
hello, that looked bloody cold and slippy! thanks for sharing. carl
-
thanks for sharing rich, keep us posted , does look very well made. carl
-
its a shame, people should be glad no one was hurt and be content with the damage fixed up like new, not trying to make a few quid. hope you get it sorted. carl.
-
dont think so, googled it and didnt see any mention of it but i could be wrong. i have it on my 346 but i find it too hot when ringing up and not that hot when snedding etc. still like it though
-
would chunky chains around the butt to the stump of worked? always think of chains as being tougher but maybe they arent so good with shock loading? not criticizing at all, never done that kind of thing really. thanks for sharing. carl
-
haven't got the plate but i put a big shackle through the hole and put a second ratchet strap round the tree, probably total overkill but thought it best till i saw how it behaved in action, but it didnt seem to slip at all ( nothing mega mind). the fixed bollards just seem much more positive and a lot easier to tension up the line. carl.
-
really should try reproofing as the jacket is tough and will last a while yet.
-
only used this a couple of times but seems like a nice little fixed bollard, good value if your on a budget and nicer to use than a floating portawrap imo. carl
-
my thoughts on the jacket exactly, just wish these threads on them leaking where around before i bought one!
-
second that, super light and nice to use, just hope they last ok.
-
mine has never been waterproof. comfy though.

shame, although its a wonder it didnt fall sooner with that epic tunnel through it! -
worked for a home owner once who said he didn't realize you could sharpen the chains, he just bought a new one each time whilst thinking " christ this is getting a bit expensive!" had to laugh
-
seriously nice looking set up on that mog.
