  1. Bought a couple of these kits from HIS Inverness . They were selling them for £49 + vat, a real bargain. It certainly cheered up my MS260.
  2. This is just another totally pointless oil thread exactly like the hundreds of other oil threads , which had you read, might have stopped you posting yet another one. I don't care what saw you use it's all been covered before.
  3. Where exactly are you getting this crap from?
  4. Unfortunately, the ms250 and ms261 have different bar mounts so the bar wouldn't fit.
  5. Just checked the date on the Stihl Ultra bottle two thirds used in the garage it appears to be 2012 and still seems to be doing its job ok. Never gave a thought to an expiry date.
  6. I'm guessing half the oil lying in the stores of dealers is more than 5 years old before it's sold.
  7. Have you tried smearing it with delicious Husqvarna Dipping oil? I find it very efficacious in most circumstances.
  8. Sorry I thought you meant Husqvarna Dipping Oil ---- Delicious!
  9. Looks like something primary school kids would have thought up. I was hoping for a saw mounted length adjustable laser line.
  10. Just buy Aspen 4 stroke and mix it how you like.
  11. "as for milking with it, I expect you’ll be on a hiding to nothing " Totally agree with the above statement. Milking with a chainsaw is NOT recommended.
  12. Don't know if this saw is basically the same (it was .325 narrow kerf) but I converted to rim with the help of Shavey.
  13. I'm basically in the same position but have learned enough not to waste money on inferior tools.
  14. I'm guessing the best thing that could happen to this saw is to chuck it in the bin and buy an decent saw.(Just saying).
  15. And so do we use the chainsaw to cut up the sheep or open the packaging?
  16. I've been looking at that myself but that setup seems to have been superseded by the new Light 04 bar and full and semi chisel .325 narrow kerf chain which have performed very well in tests. Unfortunately the 3/8th chain is not compatible with the new bars but I believe the new chain is much more robust. Also the 3/8 bars are not listed on their own only as a kit and the kit does not appear in the new catalogue so I think stihl might have quietly dropped it.
  17. It's just if you do a search for Dolmar it defaults to the Makita site. I know the Dolmar brand has disappeared in the US.
  18. Sorry to slightly hijack this thread but has Dolmar now disappeared as a chainsaw brand totally replaced by Makita ? (was going to suggest the Dolmar equivalent to above).
  19. Are you sure your not going through the male menopause? Been quite tetchy in recent posts.
  20. Is the cover original Stihl or replacement copy ?
