Got to shop picked up 560 but realised I'm a Stihl man so maybe not ready to make switch just yet. Thanks for advise though, Sam Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Done some searching on here and come up with some ideas 550xp seems to be well liked but is it enough for what I need. Certainly enough to compare with 261 but does it compare with 362. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I'm after 2 new saws and am seriously considering moving over to Husky. I currently use a 261and think its fantastic but after 6 months it starts letting me down (now on my 3rd in 18 months) and now need some saws with a little more power to run a 18" bar. I was recommended 362 by dealer but am thinking of 560xp. Can anyone offer me their opinion on saw options and reason why (not to fussed on costing). Just want some good saws that last are light(ish) and have enough power to run 18" bar. Thanks all. Sam Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Thanks for heads up. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I will do Jon, didn't think you would want that much there is some over 50" as well.

Sorry forgot to mention, in West Somerset. Yes i'm sure Jon will have some.

As above as part of a larger job will have about 30-40t of large Beech. Any interest let me know. Sam

Nice looking boots what they like for climbing (also misspelling on website 'removable'), I am a big fan of Haix.

Where in Somerset are you? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Hi have an apprentice under this scheme, ill assume that he is undertaking the trees and timber level 2 apprenticeship. The course covers mainly theory CS units are not usually covered and are extra cost. For us it's been a very good investment but if your serious about bringing someone on a long term basics then £8k should be put aside in first year to cover kit, CS, and other courses. If you want to chat about it ill pm number. We plan to take on a second apprentice next year. Sam Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
