interesting read It's the only reason we got rid of our tw150 is the bearings kept failing,compared to our old cramer which just kept going for over twenty years only parts stop us using it today!!!! Why can't this bearing problem be sorted?

some pics for ya

around here (lowestoft suffolk) you would never get the sort of money you guys are talking about to your average domestic job,we used to charge 160 a day for a six hour day with a TW150 and 200 for the 9in crammer.But we got rid of both chippers now because we were always under cut,some peeps around here were charging less than a ton!!!!!!!!!!! if we trusted them we would sub em just to get em out of loop.

I've got a husky 365sp with a 15n bar and a 18in I'm thinking of selling, but before I fleabay it what sort of money do you lot reckon I'll get for it.I am not willing to let it go for next to nothing because it is in very good order and well looked after. I do have a figure in mind any idea's.Also is it best at buy it now or auction??

one usefull bit of kit for river side trees is a tirfor winch for hang ups and for the odd water bound one.

yes but after a couple of years another number begining with "2" will be needed!! just go for the stihl and avoid the same mistake others had made including me I have had lots of diferent saws in the past(top handles) and the stihl ms200t is the best.Huskys are a no no in the tree to apoint of being dangeress!!!!!! even tho I am a husky fan they make great ground saws but not top handles

I have mine serviced/and tested once a year for around £30 get the experts to do it well worth it

beal blue and white is hard and good,I use regate prussik on it and it's good trouble is alot of rope is very soft not this one and very hard waring

My local pub bird(lauren)said huskys are better as they are orange does this solve it?

It's one of them things which I've allways looked at but never touched even when felling trees in the coldest of days out on the broads

johningtrees speaks my language

I've had a husky 365sp for 7 years now and it has been to hell and back as this is used on dirty willows in the river and has been dropped in the drink and it still keeps going so not all huskys are short lasting a great saw for general work and not too expensive(ideal ground saw for hard wood but with a 18in bar)

cheers tree beard I just have never looked into it before I will not move it then!!!!!!

It acured to me aday as I was up a willow tree in the snow(waiting for my groundie to pull his finger out) that I have never turned that cold weather start bit on my MS200,does anybody do that!!!!! as all my saws have em but I never turn them will they run better or is this just a VERY cold weather thing like in Norway.

crazy chucking ya gear if it's just 5 year old!!! has it had a hard life???ie dirt as I have had my petzl navaho harness for tens years and a length of blue/white beal for the same and use them regular!!!! and look after them and expect them to last a few more year.

I've pm'ed ya John

my agent reckons he can't get em also he reckons you can't get dura bars anymore. Maybe I'll try an on line agent

thanks Andy

I would like some BIG felling dogs for my 044 has anyone got any they want to sell or know of anywhere i can get some thanks

I use 25in(GB) on the 044 which is pretty good for felling(mostly oak/ash)had no problem(but with solid nose) and is my fav at the mo, a 15(husky) on the 365 for limbing I just love the 365 ,and not forgeting the good 14in on my ms200.This is my normal gear which I use the most.I have also a 2154 with a 20 which is not a bad compo and a 3120 with a 36 which is never used as I was trained in the art of small saw cutting but I'm not going to "bore" you with that

"to die for bubba"

the barrel was very bad it was worn on one side only !!I did think of replacing both(piston/barrel) but I was glad to get rid of the thing

ah good idea thanks

does anyone know here I can get some amenity bark chips for my local school in the east suffolk area, as we had some before and they were not good enough (too much wood) any help would be most welcome thanks

I must admit not to having any blow ups yet but what I have noticed that the new saws aways run hotter than my old saws.I run everything on husky 50/1 I think the modern saws are just not so good as the old classics
