    good news guys , i spoke to husky's technical department this morning , they asked for the serial number so i gave them it and they told me it was a faulty carb and that they would send me a new carb for free , i then asked weather it was common and they told me it was untill they changed the carb from a warbro carb to a zamma , so wile i was there i checked the other serial number on the other 357 and they are also sending a carb for that one for free . tbh im really impressed with there response , its a shame stihl were not as help full with my ms200's i have had to pay for 5 carbs for them !!!!

    so does anyone ste there prices lower for larger companies that give them a higher percentage of work ?? ie 450 per 2 man team with chipper would be 350 to the regular client ?? i have heard of a couple companies doing it up in devon , what do you guys think ??

    i guess i see it more on connifers as there are far more of them down here than broad leaf trees !

    so how about the tension on a saw with chain and bar over 20" such as a 48" on an ms880 !! i find that the chain can not be as tight as you would expect it to be . what do you guys think

    recently i have come accross several trees that have shed a limb for apparently no reason at all or there are only a couple un certain reasons , on one tree we had the local tree officer out to have a look as the tree was in a t.p.o area , he expliand that there is such thing as sudden branch/limb failure phenomenon , he was explaining that this happes around this time of year in verry humid conditions where transparation is high according to him it is due to high atmospheric pressure . but this is only what i was told by him lol , i can see it kind of makes sense tho!

    i must admit i did ask my self was that going to happen when i first saw the thread , but i guess most people on here that work in the same area as other people on here probably already know who charges what IMO

    i know we all make mistakes but that was a fairly major one . i agree n one is perfect but you would least expect it from a senior member of staff that has been in the job a long time . but this is getting away from the thread so i will shut up lol!!!!

    what they preatch and what is expected on site are two totally different things , in training its safety first , on site on a fault its customer lost minutes and getting them back on suply !!
  14. combined tree services

  15. combined tree services

    i have had the tank off and the vent looks clear , i have just had a look at another 357xp that is roughly a year and a half younger , the tank braether on the new saw is totally different , but not sure it its because something is missing from the broken saw or weather they have changed the design . anyone got any ideas ?????
  17. combined tree services

    sorry SWB it was not intended as a side to the argument , was just sharing some info with you all , but your right if the kit aint yours it does not matter , he caused over 20k of dammage and has not even been given a writen warning . he was site foreman and was meant to over see the saftey of all on site . it just proves that some LA'S are not as squeeky clean as they try to make out !!

    there is a council team down here where the team leader expects the team to run not walk etc etc , a couple months ago the tem were putting his method of work into practise on a night job when the team leader ran to the truck that was towing a lighting tower to pull it forward , he jumped in to truck and drove a few meters down the road towing the lighting tower strait into an 11kv power line , he then jumped out of the truck after hearing the explosion he then tried to turn the lighting tower off , he was then electrocuted by the 11kv line through the lighting rig . by the time he re-gained consciousnes the lighting tower and brand new iveco tipper had burnt to the ground , the council now see that rushing only cost them more in the long run .

    hi guys , i have a problem with one of my husky 357 xp's , basicly the saw will start and run like all of the others but as soon as the saw is warm and has done a little work as soon as put the saw down to idle the tick over speed picks up rapidly and the the saw stalls , if you catch it in time and open the fuel tank the revs drop and saw carrys on ticking over . i have tried tuning and that has not solved the problem . the saw is roughly 2 and a half years old . has anyone elts had the same thing ??? i would really be greatfull for any help or info .
  23. combined tree services
    i tell you what if i could get the pictures out of the ex groundy i would mate , it really gets me when let me down which in turn lets me down

    there are currently as many pictures of trees and jobs the dangerous brian has done on his cd as there are pictures of trees that your local LA get you up ! lol , so whats your take on pricing bob ??
  25. combined tree services
    too many people spend far to much looking at there competitors rather than watching what there own busines is doing or not doing , who cares that top it lop it and hop it are charging 175 per day for a 2 man team or that someone elts is charging 500 per day for a 2 man team , you should know what it costs you to cover all of your overheads and make money , it is different for every company IMO
