picked up a jonsered 920 today with a 42 inch bar and chain, i think the bar is a wee bit big for her so im going to sell that and put a 30 inch on it,has anyone got any diags of anti vibe mounts/front handle mount as there seems to be something not right? only paid 200 so im not afraid to spend a few quid to get her ship shape, cheers mike

Been having some trouble with my left thumb lately, rally painfull in the cold, and limited movement after doing some work on an over grown hawthorn hedge,thorn tip popped out today with loads of green mess and cursing from me, why do these little blighters cause so much trouble ?? hoping in a few days the pain will die down a bit and get some movement back in my thumb. any similar experiences?

kawasaki ks750 30inch single side are very good, robust and a fair bit cheaper than stihl, a lot of contractors i know use them, if you can stretch to stihls go for it but the kawasaki is a good contender, mike

ive got a wierd one aswell, no gags please!, my hands seem to be warmer without gloves, after the initial burn, they get really warm, but stay cold in gloves??????

only a short term fix as mentioned before, but warm your boots on exhausts from machines, works great with hands too

hmm, bit of a mixed bag of replies, still very tempted tho , i spose it dosent really matter about make aslong as its running sweet and sharpened properly,thats more important than colour, will see if i can have a demo of the 9010, cheers mike

funny, thats the only thing putting me off, spose i could paint it lol

i know that makita bought dolmar out but are the saws any good. ive been looking at the 9010, 90 cc,with 30 inch bar for £675 which is a fair bit cheaper than stihl or husky equivelent, any thoughts? mike

a lot of my work is regular contracts, so if i dont increase my rate im working for less!!

i was always led to believe that charring fence posts ends helped against rot
-
For the smaller business that is not vat registered, is it ok to put rates up to cover the vat increase? ie fuel costs, parts costs etc, any thoughts on this, cheers

hi all, i look after the grounds for some residential care homes,we have an area that has been used as a rubbish dump for about 5 years and was asked for quotes to remove the waste, ie grass cuttings, logs, leaves and general rubbish. there was a huge heap, ie 3 ro,ro s full at least. well i didnt get the job , but some other guys did. damage to lawns, smashed glass in greenhouse,broken overflow pipe from one of the rooms, broken pots,trashed plants/shrubs, waste material left in flower beds etc, you get the picture. ok some damage was to be expected, ie lawns etc, but surely this should have been included in the quote, to make good any damage to lawns etc. my quote included making good any damage. thoughts please as i am fuming at the mess caused with no promise of damage being put right and i am under pressure to keep the grounds looking tip top all year round,, cheers mike

Husky 372XP your ratings This question for Owners /Users
miker replied to Littletree's topic in Chainsaws
ive got its slightly older brother the 371 xp, great saw, nice mid range power, seems to like an 18" bar the best , nice and balanced, but i do run a 28" for some jobs and it copes very well, providing my sharpening is spot on. hope this helps -
great little saw, i bought mine mainly for cutting fire wood, but have used it for felling and it has always done me proud
-
many thanks for the information lads, put new clutch springs in today and now the saw is right as rain :thumbup:mike

cheers mate:thumbup1:
