just a few pics of a mangled mass of blackthorn,i am subbing for a company,who are working for n/grid these photos were taken on a farm in hereford[peterchurch]where we are hedge laying and fencing,but before we get to the hedge line we have to clear this lot,this farm is in the golden valley and we are working on very steep terrain,with the snow last week and the rain its pretty tough going we are cutting out the blackthorn at the bottom and pulling out with chains on a landy 110,but its so thick its very hard to get at the bottom,i have multiple stab wounds wish me luck for monday ps.the fella in the distance is aled,he had a bit of a basil fawlty moment in the week and beat up his shogan[it could not get up the hill due to snow,wrong tyres]

-
working for a company in brecon hedge laying,they used stihl 60cc machines all went down before this saw but thanks for the info,i think a few of the above combined,saw is old and was bought used so do not know its history,but was well worth the price and its paid for itself tenfold my have been running chain a little tight[hate chain creep] but i would say the main fact is worn parts never mind,new drum, sprocket and needle bearing should be back on the road:001_tt2:
-
hi age of saw not known,bought off e-bay last year for £150 which was an awesome price for one of these if the saw was unrepairable i cannot complain,because its payed for itself over and over new clutch drum,rim sprocket and needle bearing needed:thumbup: not a major dent in the pocket
-
i agree,just after crimbo aswell,when the kids wiped me out......
-

Thanks combined tree i also have a 357xp with15" bar i seem to use 346 more,just a personal choice and my work[being a self employed sole trader]does not under take a lot of large tree work so the 346 is suited to the causs thanks martyn
-
thanks charlieh you are the third person th agree,sound like clutch probs thanks martyn amos
-
thanks tree man tom i bought this saw as a used machine last year and i has been awesome to date i bought a 357xp brand new,but when ever i have tree work i always grab the 346xp? its just lighter and with a 13" bar its fab for hedge laying work when you are in close i am in south wales,and i sometimes work on a self employed basis for a company from down southern england[dorset]when they are working in my area knighton countryside management[heared of them]i have done tree and vegatation clearance and hedge laying and fencing[they are good to work for and cover southern england and south wales area] thanks martyn

to dillsue sounds like what you are saying , as i just posted ,when pulling starter with chain brake off there is compression and the chain turns thanks martyn
-
thanks just used this saw for hedge laying in brecon on a farm,its was fine the company i worked for had stihls [341s 60ish cc 2 of them died on the job and a 181,was going to take home for my 5 year old daughter] back at you??? had huskies for years,this is the 1st time i have ever had a problem at the end of the day this is not a my dads harder then your dad[ie which is best stihl or husqvarna] i would like to say thanks for you reply i would rule out water,the company i worked for did state when i used my saw that the mixture they were useing was the same 50-1 what happening now is when the chain brake is on you cannot turn the saw over[starter cord will not move]if you take chain brake off you can pull stater but there is compresion and the chain moves when you pull cord thanks martyn
