What do you all think? any help out there cheers chris

  18. Hi there, Just changed the bloade on my tw150 for some new ones with the intension of sending the old ones off for sharpening. On removal of the old ones, i've inspected and at the lowest point from (damage) of blade to the wear marker line is 2-3mm..... i put them up to the new blades and they have seen a lot of use and are smaller so will have been ground before, just wondering if its feasable to have these ground again or are they too close to the wear mark? cheers Chris

  21. Cheers pal
  22. when and where is it the apf? is there somewhere with events on a calender cheers
  23. i love my 361, initially it had a 18" bar on and i was doing a job felling dangerous tree's at schools it was brilliant for that work! its now got a 15" bar on as i have a 441 with a 20" on and it was too close a match for me as the 441 hardly got used..... still sadly doesn't get used much as go straight to the 064 for bigger stuff....... just my tuppence
  24. yeah sadly no one can compete with that, that'll be a beer money job for the gardener....
  25. exactly why get a 70cc saw when you have a 660? sell the 260 and get a 60cc saw or keep the 260 and still get a 60cc saw.....
