If its going to be treated as, and pruned as a street tree, those lower two or more branches to the left will just be pruned off in time to raise the crown/reduce conflict with traffic, pedestrians etc. That lowest one should have been pruned off at time of planting IMO. Whats left looks like it has potential to be reasonably balanced after a few growth seasons. What concerns me is that kink in the stem. But i have zero experience with Gum trees (not too many in Sweden!) so may be "acceptable"???

Cheers @5 shires Im leaning heavily towards the Echo, I'll ask my local dealer if he'll get in both petrol and battery for me to try (They let us take away and test Echo products before, pre purchase) That'd be very interesting @gand The 160T doesnt appeal to me, as i have a preconception its massive in comparison to the 151T and 2511, It'd be nice to be able to confirm my thought
-
If staying on track, its worth noting that i was looking for, and this thread is aimed at a small pruning saw to replace a 150T. The 150T can happily hang on the harness for just a handfull of cuts on a prune, instead of persevering with a silky. its weight and size make it almost unnoticeable. The Stihl looks massive, might be better suited for an all round climbing/felling battery saw. (speculation)

The orange bolsters are roughly 60cm appart, 60cm high, so a ridged cube of roughly 0.22 m3 / 220liters if maths/thinking is correct.

Awesome! Thanks @gand
-
@gand any chance of some pics of the 2511 and 2500 side by side?

380 on Skylands website! I’ll try for a local price match first from the same company I brought my chipper from, they price matched that against UK prices

Thanks for the replies, How'd you know if its the new Echo or old one? (thinking there might be stock over here that doesnt shift very quickly) I remember using one a few years ago but it had a fat chain on it which diddnt help. Whats the difference between the 2511TES C and 2511TES? C for Carving bar/narrow chain? The battery one actually looks ok. "on par" with the 2511 according to Echo. Maybe a bit too bulky on the back with the battery

I need to replace my Stihl 150T after it didn't get out the way of a tracked chipper ? Immediate choice is the new Stihl 151T. Ive been more than happy with the 150, unmodded, I ONLY use it as a pruning saw, no felling. Compact size and light weight is most important. But Echo? Whats the equivalent model? Is there mini battery pruning saws of similar size/weight (Stihl/Echo again) Ive absolutely no knowledge of battery stuff as it hasn't previously interested me.

Made a quick fit tow bar for the bandit, main idea was to use it to tow the Arb trolley, especially with the thought of When removing grindings and just pushing the Arb trolley with its big bag full of grindings straight up the ramps into the trailer.

What’s the problem? Hes looking To pay for some help, no one here work as a sub contractor?! good luck Adam
-
I read on Facebook the price went from 1500, to 1300, to 900+vat seems legit ?
-
Changing (blades) and refitting are two completely different meanings imo. Easy to miss interpret
-
If the först cereal packet warranty won't cover you because of the copper grease, I very much doubt they'd honour anything else if you went else where for the bearing change might be be worth exploring the cost of an engineering report to contest the suggested grease leading to blade faliure excuse, if of course you can be without the machine for a while

Of course the customer wanted to deal directly with you, you undercut him! poaching customers Isn’t on. When working as a subby you direct all enquireys to your “boss”. You’re only there because of them anyway, employment status is irrelevant.
