That’s a useful couple of drawings . Do you have a ball park figure for a new motor . I would say if it’s over £100 might as well buy a new saw

Useful to know I was wondering if the 300 might be more robust but it’s a lot more money and I would imagine it will kill the batteries quicker . As you say anything bigger use the 261

Got a 4 year old saw done virtually no work and segments on the motor armature have picked up on the armature seizing the motor . Anyone replaced the motor ? I am wondering if it’s worth going for the 220 or possibly 300 next time not impressed with what I found inside . All a bit cheap and flimsy

Our problem turned out to be the feeble pumps fitted . When the machines enter the uk they are set up with smaller chain . This is up graded because we are mainly cutting hard woods in the uk . we fitted a different oiling system from that point on we could cut for hours without sharpening or dressing bars . Even cheap bars lasted well

I expect the ram is leaking and passing the seals inside . As said above better quality seals will probably transform it as they have probably been weeping for a while

The two best engines Perkins 3152 and any kubota water cooled a close third would be lister flat top and air cooled. to avoid at all cost anything Chinese don’t bother with old ruggerini or lombardini dont bother with the lister alpha engines if your going petrol Honda industrial engines are great Briggs and Stratton are not if you need pallets of kindling let me know because I hate working on generators 🤣 Steve Beale loggywood.co.uk

Hi yes local is the way to go . We tend to supply 4-500 within about 40 miles of us

Hi Folks That time of year again . Anyone need kindling send me a quick message or phone . £2.50 a net ex works

Hi everyone new wood supply now so back in the game if anyone needs neat bags of kindling. based near Andover Hampshire taking orders now for late summer

I would estimate a third of the large plant on market place does not exist . As everyone has said offer to pay on collection even if it’s not an option for you it smokes the little shits out. Another big give away is they want you to contact them through their email not through messenger .

I tried your idea on my wife I am now divorced

I had one of these about 10 years ago . Probably one of the fastest machines for 8 inch stuff . As well made and thought out as the new machines . Stop the wood packing in front of the ram by clearing it with hammer and big screw driver . Get a spare rubber event for the hydraulic motor coupling and your good for many hours of logging . Ours was knackered after 10 years hard use but still kept going
