    No, it doens't. I worked with this saw for 2 days. Got it from a landscaper who hires me each year for a few days. He was offered to use the demo from the local Husky dealer, so I did not speak to the dealer myself. Advantages : No fumes No pulling of the recoil starter Lightweight Silent apart from the wheeeeeeessssss Very slim shaped and easy to manoever in small trees Batteries charge faster (for now) than you use them up High cutting speed and small chain gives a very clean cut Disadvantages : Pinches easier than my Stihl 200t, you need to handle it more carefully (misses the torque of a petrol chainsaw) Battery last about 1 to 1.5 hours (but the spare one is loaded before that in the fast charger, if your customer allows you to charge on his electricity net) Life of the batteries ????? Price : about 800 euros vat incl. so more than a petrol chainsaw : Pascal

    The Husky is very economical on chain oil, about 2 battery charges before it needs an oil refill.

    Hi, I live near Gent..and indeed a felling license is required for such a tree, over 1 m. Do you speak Flemisch or are you Flemisch ??

    What does TPO stand for ? (sorry for being on the other side of the North Sea)
  6. Sideleaner
    You are absolutely right...

    Nothing's secret nowadays :biggrin: Anyway that indeed looks great, I will discuss it with the owner. Thanks for sharing !

    Do you mean this one ? Google streetview is a great thing !

    Hi, I have been asked for a quote on this one. The options are felling or reduce it. Will this pine have a future after a serious reduction ? I never done one like this. The reason is because it is blocking the view from the appartments ; this is 4 stories so the tree is a big one....

    If you are working in a garden, ask the owner to put a few buckets of water out or the hose, and take a "shower" every hour or so. Done it many times before... I also have a 10 l jerrycan with water in the van, to wash up after the job, when its really hot. Pascal

    I replaced the roller for the hydraustatic belt on my Caravaggi stump grinder with an aftermarket roller which I found in a bearings shop (SKF). It is a hard plastic one with bearing pressed inside. Works fine for over 20 hours now, no signs of wear. So try the bearing shop, good luck. Pascal

    It can be used on big stumps. Did one oak stump 80cm diameter (about 32 inch) last week and it took me about an hour, cleaning up the chips included. I must say it was sawed low, at lawn level. Pascal

    I have a similar grinder from Caravaggi with a 24hp Honda. It works really well, no too hard fysically...not harder than climbing. One good advice, keep the teeth well sharp and the grinding goes faster and easier. [ame] [/ame] Pascal

    That is exactly what they told me about my gx670 on my stump grinder, burning oil. So I did it myself, cost me 100 eur for parts and now it runs like a new one. The mechanics these days don't fix anything, they just changes things with new ones...I am fed up with it...so i do it myself. Don't hesitate to open up that engine, it is really very basic and simple. I could do it with my eyes closed Pascal

    There are volunteers here in Belgium that keep the war graves in good shape for free ! There is still a lot of respect for the boys who came to the war and gave their life to help us, no doubt about that !!! Pascal

    Yeah, the whole village has to go. There are new docks coming on that spot. It is not too far away from where I live. It was a nice village once, on the borders of the river. It's a ghost village now...sorry about your memorial, guys ! Pascal
  17. Sideleaner
    50 a day with your own saw....you are working for free than.... Do something about it, this is crazy P

    I just rebuild my gx670 on the stump grinder. The cam gear is indeed in plastic. Take off the valve covers and check if the valves are moving. If not, take off the cranck cover. If you want to know how it looks like ; here is a very usefull link : http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/JonRK/2010-09-07_020434_Low_oil_pressure.pdf Honda parts at : http://www.honda-engines-eu.com/en/welcome.html goto "service" - "spare parts" and enter you engine number. Use the parts number to check the price at a Honda dealer. Every part is in stock, next day delivery to the dealer. Just make sure the timing mark is set correctly when re-assembling the case cover. Good luck Pascal

    Yes, that is about the way I do it too. It is the obvious way for me. P.

    Yes the file is original from Silky. Look out, as you can see in the video these are very fragile. I wrecked my first one, but once you get the feeling in sharpening it goes better. I have 2 Sugoi blades which I sharpen myself, with a good result. But it takes at least 1/2 an hour to do. Pascal
  21. Sideleaner
    Yes I have it too, since about 5 years. I am 48 now. The cause : wind turbulance noise when riding motorcycles. I am using custom made earplugs now, but I guess it is too late. Pascal

    I only buy this from my reliable safety gear shop...don't trust any internet sales, not for this kind of equipment. Scary stuff !! Pascal
  23. Sideleaner
    Well, on the Stihl website I found : MS200T : 674,00 euro with 30 cm blade MS200 : 694,00 euro with 35 cm blade. These prices are VAT included (21% in Belgium) In GBP that would be : 694,00 : 1.21 = 573,55 euro at (1.18 euro/gbp) = 486,00 gbp (ex vat) this does not include a usual discount of about 10 to 12 procent for professional users. Pascal
  24. Sideleaner
    They are available in Belgium..just take the Eurotunnel and I'll be glad to escort you the the Stihl dealer.
