is there that much difference between the ms341 and 260?
josharb87 replied to jonnywinks's topic in Climbers talk
260-good small bar saw, used them with 15inch bars for coppice work years back, nothing special about them really 341-brilliant saw for ground work, this is the smallest saw we have at work-mines got an 18inch bar on, the other has 20inch-a bit to big for balance tbh if it was me, needing a saw for small felling, snedding for the chipper, chogging down ect id go for the 341 and 18inch bar without a doubt -
me and my two groundies each got a £60 tip on a 1day job was to dismantle two large elms, over fences, blockpaving, sheds, fragile wall ect, other firms had told them the fencing, paving sheds ect would all need to be replaced had them both down by 2pm, cord loaded over the wall by hiab by 4, and roots ground out too (oh, only damaged a daffodil!)

yeah the 2wd one was commissioned by the military for parade ect-they thought itd cut costs over 4wd, but to make them 2wd, new front axle ect, in the small volumes anticipated, cost far more than standard 4wd!

saying that, in cambridge, parkside police station went and got an 'out of town' company to pollard the limes along the side of the station without getting permission-brown stuf hit the fan when the council and residents (who have the same row of trees outside their houses)found out! l/a does care in some cases -
made a good shape by reducing that extended limb sanny, was there a percentage the tree had to be thinned by? being picky, the upper and outer crown doesnt appear to have had much thinning done, whereas the lower and inner, possibly slightly too much, but thats prob due to the customer wanting an excessive lift/photo?! allways be safe than sorry with fencing, sheds ect. well done!

Pollard trees may attain much greater ages than maiden trees, because they are maintained in a partially juvenile state, and they do not have the weight and windage of the top part of the tree. when performed properly it is useful in the practice of arboriculture for tree management. Pollarding is also used in urban forestry in certain areas for reasons such as tree size management, safety and health concerns. It removes rotting or plagued branches for the overall health of the tree, living and dead branches that could harm property and people, as well as expanded foliage in spring for aesthetic, shade and pollution concerns. good old wikipedia!
