  1. Do you use your other saws in the same applications as the 261? Now that I've changed my ways I don't get the above problems .
  2. If the saws are spending most of their life idling with the chain break on sitting beside Chippers or hanging from a harness then this will be the cause of most of the problems imo. If a saw has a forest life it will rarely get this type of treatment.
  3. Still got the 3 tonner.
  4. I think it's just backing up your side strop he means.
  5. Ropeguide is the best thing I've used .
  6. Or it's 4th in 6 years
  7. She turns 8 this year!
  8. Mogs long gone! Time to build up my leg muscles manoeuvring Gloria. She's worth it:)
  9. After 6 months apart Gloria and I are re-united! I foolishly sold her for something Big and Orange, I am not proud of this. It was a mistake! Back garden extreme mulching is back
  10. Back to workshop warranty I think it's called. 15 years ago I'd be raging throwing a tantrum as I'd be stressed out my head running my life badly. Now I'd shrug my shoulders wait till Tuesday and not get wound up over £20 of diesel.
  11. Well done John! Looking forward to seeing the shear in action!
  12. Nice 1 Forst!
  13. Yip here's mine!
  14. Call in JJ Baldwin!
  15. Similar day here!
  16. Just hack trees down randomly, drag them out, when the customer gives the big thumbs up, call the Timber lorry and be happy with what they give you. Sounds like a perfect job for a wee digger and grab
  17. Billy that's a cracking looking machine, looks like it has huge ground clearance. I've still got my Cat 2.7d, I'm going to get myself a fixed felling head, my energy head is great and will do stuff a fixed 1 won't but I do loose a lot height and reach for a job like you did. Do you think adding a blade to your fixed timber gran would work or would the ram not be strong enough for the shearing.
  18. All they did was show you how handy a mini digger is and oh you can stick a bucket on it if you like! I have 6 hydraulic pipes running along my boom, couldn't be bothered coupling all them.
  19. Very impressive set up! I love the attachments on the grab! What weight is your tree shear? Apologies if it's been asked already
  20. That picture doesn't show the true size of that tree, if you haven't been to it before be prepared for a monster! And if your cycling to it via the Rest And Be Thankfull you best get a good nights sleep before tackling her
  21. After 12pm as Huck says. No plans to replace as yet GG! I'm doing a lot of subbie climbing for a few different larger companies and really enjoying it.
  22. It's was advice not an offer I'm 4 hours from there sorry
