Sitting here with the onset of a heavy cold,& I bumped into this,I found it quite interesting,some of their other stuff is worth a look too. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhgfzEm3CWU]PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING - EVEREST - YouTube[/ame]

The little echo 260 is a great saw,I have had one for a few years,all that has gone wrong was a brake band. But the stihl 150 is in my mind a better saw. The echo brake guard is only fastened at one point,& can be awkward to engage,they cut about the same speed,but I prefer the stihl carving type bar.Both are very good,but I bought the stihl to give it a go,& will stick with it. The Makita is a step down from the echo/stihl,no two ways about it.

I had mine fitted by a timberwolf dealer,the labour was £230.This was this year.
-
I'm suprised at the weld,not good.
-
I do find that I have to keep an eye on chain tension.

Another convert to the tiny topper club! They are a refreshing little saw to use Pat,get half a gallon of fuel through it & it gets a bit faster.

Any kit can fail if used in the wrong configuration,some very quickly,some over time,I dont think for one second that Jonsie is 'covering his ass',he would be doing his best as a good dealer to inform us of what the latest advise is,simple fact is do not use this bit of kit,await a response from the manufacturer to filter down,& put the word out there to all climbers,a high percentage dont even know about Arbtalk,that is our job to do,not start slinging mud at a dealer.

I would think about contacting the manufacturer of the balljoint about that,maybe send them the failed part.

The lone ranger and tonto are riding into town after a long trek, They arrive, and the lone ranger says, " I'm going in the saloon for a pint, I'm parched. Tonto, just run around outside, make yourself look busy, I wont be long" After 5 minutes, a guy walks in, goes up to the bar and says, "scuse me, are you the lone ranger?" He replies, " I sure am, why?" The stranger says, " I think you've left your injun running"

LR and Tonto riding through the desert. LR stops for a pee behind a cactus, Tonto gets down and sticks his head to the ground, listening. Tonto stands up, folds arms and looks solemn. "What's up?", asks LR. "Buffalo come", says Tonto. LR looks around but sees nothing. "How do you know?", he asks. "Ear sticky" says Tonto...

Thats frightening!

Interesting, have you used the 150t?
-
It is one cracking saw.
-
I could give you a hand mate!

Fair comment,the specifics could help,ie can brash stay on site,is the tree diseased,etc, & some pictures would help prospective takers. In general,people want to be paid to remove a tree,no matter if it is standing or down.
-
Looks like you forgot your helmet,naghty naughty!
-
I would go for the stihl 150t,the best small topper out there,simples. The echo is good,the makita just about ok. But the best is the 150t.
-
Thats very sad, My heart goes out to you & yours.
-
The truth is the spin clockwise because if the were anti clockwise,some muppet would ask why....
-
Maybe get some steel pipe,& coat it with a teflon spray? teflon coatings from Impreglon UK
-
Its worth a go,I will be interested how it works out,so pics & a report are in order!
-
They got the writing back to front!
-
I seem to remember hearing about them Jon mate,they must be ok,been around for years!
-
Yes Alex,it says it all,what an obnoxious loudmouth fat jowled little man,I am surprised an inteligent person could stand behind this tirade of utter drivel. I asume you are agreeing wth my points when you say 'this says it all'.
-
Thats nothing compared to what I called him at the time!
