Pushing it somewhat, but it will pull it ok if you go easy on things, bloody good saws these are, loads of guts & well built too.
-
Get a few tankfulls through them, make sure you have a good full chisel chain, & enjoy the quality!
-
If the chain is the right one for the bar, check for a burred bar edge.
-
Yep, I like it.
-
Yep, short & to the point.
-
Good luck tomorrow mate!

It still says Husqvarna in Item specifics, I too have reported itt to ebay to no avail
-
Do I detect the now discontinued in this country ms200? If so, I'm fascinated.
-
Well she is wrong there, it does say Husqvarna in the specifics.

She flushed them out of their holes, the .410 & a terrier did the killing, she was a sharp Gill, & loved her work, & the terrier was a nice quiet one, the .410 didn't get much work, but was good sport nailing the odd rat the terrier didn't get to. The rat in the picture I seem to recall was taken with the gun, hence the back end being mushed up.

Used to love a rat hunt, I tend to just use traps & gas air rifle now, but dogs, ferrets, & a .410 when I was young, couple of pics from many years ago, I used to pick them up with a bramble frond, can't stand touching them. img038 by geoff321, on Flickr uuu by geoff321, on Flickr

Top Handled Saw: Stihl vs Echo vs Husq vs Other?
geoff replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
This was on the little 270tes saw, & only the one broke after years of use, none gone since. I would think the spares situation will be ok for the modern saws from Forrest & Arb. -
Top Handled Saw: Stihl vs Echo vs Husq vs Other?
geoff replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
Not needed any other than a brake band on the little top handle a few years back, but that turned up in the post after a couple of days. -
Top Handled Saw: Stihl vs Echo vs Husq vs Other?
geoff replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Chainsaws
I keep banging on about the Echo top handle, I know, but it simply has superior build quality to the big two, and performs competitively, at a reasonable price with a two year pro warranty. same applies to the lovely 620sx. A very silly move not to be at the show, I think sales would have picked up heavily, thing is we often are brand loyal, or at least 'big two' loyal, understandably, if Countax pushed these saws & got more people using them they would sell themselves. -
Good observation there Steve. I want one, but I am holding back until this is sorted, not for safety, but for the hassle of having to send it back, I just like stuff to be completely reliable.
-
That's different, nice work!
-
Should be fine if the oil specs are 50/1, you could try 40/1 if you are concerned.
-
good man BobbyDee, I'm really enjoying mine, it is bog standard at the moment, but might get some exhaust mods when I get my head round it, though to be honest it cuts well enough as it is, they do take time to bed in & give their best, mine has maybe 5 litres through it now.
-
I think you might have ruined your chances with the last part!
-
This is a useful tool in our fight against theft, I take my hat off to Steve & anyone else involved.
-
I have had a few saws in my time, early days with this one but I think It is likely to become very well regarded.
-
I know I'm harping on, but it really is a lovely saw, reminds me a bit of a smaller version of the Stihl ms460, but with a more refined build & handling. A high accolade indeed.
-
That is one cool cat, nice work, & get yourself back to top form asap.
-
Are you including yourself in that statement?
