I love my ms 361. I got it a week after they had come out, and until this year when it needed a carb kit, it has been one of the gutsiest and most reliable machines ever.With a 16" bar it is an amazing bit of kit.. I have to say i dont think the 362 is as good. Close, but not quite.

The powersharp is designed for the domestic market. The 346xp is an excellent saw, as is the ms240 and ms260.

can you run stihl chains on oregon bars and vice versa?
tommer9 replied to Lorry thompson's topic in General chat
Yes is the answer. If you want a bar or chain, you only need to give the model of saw and length of bar. The manufacturer of the bar and chain is irrelevant, as long as the guage, pitch etc are correct for the saw/ sprocket. A bar for a husky saw will not fit a stihl and vice- versa, but oregon make bars to fit them all, and chains too. Oregon make the bars for husky anyway, so the new husky will have a bar from the oregon factory on it, with husky written on it instead of oregon. -
The biggest problem I have found with machines running all day such as cherry pickers, or when we used to put landys on the dairy to use the pro to run the vac pump, was the damage done to the valve stem oil seals in the engine, never the transmission from the PTO.

Contender for most awkward job of the year award
tommer9 replied to David Riding's topic in General chat
Why the hell cant they just shut off the gas for the duration of the job? Surely if the life of the contractor/ cutter is at risk then this would be a matter of course? -
Horrific.
-
I can only assume that it was built as an eye-catcher at shows, in which case its a great machine. And yes, the landrover transmission would EASILY cope with that running all day. Mine copes with far worse, and has done for years.

Blimey Matt, what sort of job have you taken on now!!!!!
-
Lol- you are well acquainted with the joys of it all then...
-
The weaver is bulky, but I like it for the amount of support at the back, and the fact that the load is spread over a wide area, as my spine is a bit screwed around the 4th vertebra up...
-
:lol:
-
Bit minging aint it!!
-
Whats the difference between the 2 weavers?
-
BTW, missus also said all saddles are hand made. Whatever you do make sure its properly fitted, or you could end up with problems with the horse.
-
Weaver. The black and yellow one.
-
Sorry to hear that mate. Its a poor state of affairs.
-
Haha- i was sort of joking. I do like chains, but they get pretty heavy pretty quickly....
-
I have to say that i cant see anytthing that i would descrribe as 'nice'....Theres a hook from a vehicle winch at the bottom of the pic too!

My wife is into the four legged beasts- we had 62 here at the height of things last year!!!- and she says that she would either go to a reputable saddlery that she knows and trusts, or look at the second hand market, where it is possible to find very good examples of old, very well made ones. Deffo not the sort of thing to get out of the robinsons catalogue etc.
-
but I LIKE chains......
-
Lorry- it was nowt to do with god- it was that guy living in the stump that did it- perhaps he wanted a bit more light in his living room...

Too much waste with an alaskan- 6mm kerf (cut). get them to a bandsaw, or you will have a lot of sawdust and a little mahogany.

Welcome to AT ctenicera (ill call you J from now on). For my two penn'orth I would say stumpgrinding course isnt essential. NPTC tickets wil be a big advantage, as most insurers like to see them in place over LANTRA. RFS cert is good. There are several female members on arbtalk, so No ought to be the answer to that one. hope thats of some encouragement for now. Good luck. Oh- and stop apologising lol!

WOW.....WOW......WOW..... words fail me!!!!

Its about time ANYONE brought out a contender to the rapidly-diminishing-in-qua;ity 200t. I am looking to get a new top handled very soon- I may try to wait for this husky and see what its like, as i am getting pretty hacked off with the stihl stable at the mo...esp when I hear that they were boasitng that 'if it has our name on it they will buy it whatever' at a dealer's recently...
