husky 365 x torq 70.7cc 3.6kw of power will pull 18inch with easy and 1 24inch if need be there around £530- £550 new including the vat and after you get a few pennies and the warranty is off you can convert it to a 372xp for not much money, as there the same saw but limited and detuned a bit
-
the 4x4 company called ARB ones are decent don't know cost though, have a look on shooting groups / forums as there usually come up for sale, but think your going to struggle for a secondhand one with the truck model being so new so the speak. also try the nissan navara snapped chassis groupe on facebook aswell just incase as a few guys on there work in breakers yards/ insurance wrighte of yards so may know of one

yh they was the first hushpower guns available my one must of shot 2 thousand cartridges in it would sound like a rainmaker / sand shaker with the unburnt powder in between the mod and barrel regret selling it to be honest, like i said i have the pump action one nice gun but front heavy and long as its 24inch barrel and 12 inch moderator if you can get them your end the cheddite drago 24Gram magnus are very good and the fiocchi 19g magnums both have good stopping power
-
i have had the original pedretti hushpower full moderator all the way back to the breach no foregrip 30inch of mod and that was really quite and u could kill rabbits and hare out to 35 yards with fiocchi magnums with it and now have the 3 shot pump mossbergg hushpower not as quite but the extra shots make up for it at times
-
your quite right about the shot distance is the same just spreads a bit more and becomes gappy at distance so less of a damage, but in genuine i find 2inch .410 cartridges less powerful as dont put holes in the sheds when shooting rats with them
-
2511 tes in my top handles is my most used on the ground its the 550xp on 15inch and 365x torq on 18inch most used and the 365 x torq for the money a at around £530 its a bargin just heavy though
-
not sure my 2004 46.17 one is on disc and was a 20 minute job to change the hand brake cable
-
i started with a cooper peglar cp3 around 13 years back and its been chucked to one side of the workshop since about after 6 months i bought it and had various sprayer over the years and i never had found one that i have been over the moon with and over the last 7year years been using cheapo ones as have a few get knocked or dropped or reversed over. but like i said i got a stihl 71 coming tomorrow wich is about mid range price of knapsack sprayers wise
-
oh and the pump handle and be placed/ installed either side
-
i have had a oregeon 16l sprayer for 3 years and had no problems with it and that was around 40 pound. got a stihl 71 coming tomorrow thats cost me 85 pound, but for the money homebase one there very well made. I will be using the homebase jobbie this week as i got some lawn weeds to kill and a drive to spray of so will take both save me cleaning the same one out on the job will let you know how i get on
-
been in homebase today with the gf to get paint and a few bits and as you do take a look around and came across this knapsack sprayer 15L capacity from the box looks very similar to the solo one's / pro grades one at are of 100 pounds these ones are called aqua systems there only £18.50 here is some pics its very well made for the money comes with a spare set of o rings only down side its a double nozzel sprayer
-
so today been a lot cooler at 20 degree celsius and the echo 2511 tes started and ran fine and idle fine unlike monday 33 where i had the troubles of starting and idling. the only code i can find on the can is printed in black ASPEN2 FRT2693 in micro dot on the can itself
-
i had found one of these a few years back on a hedge i was trimming stunning moth and quite big really see a few coming on facebook recently

so we should all be running our cars on aspen type fuels and save the environment and get a cut in fuel duty as it be like hardly any emissions. this the case we can make our city and town airs clean pretty quick aspen you need to pitch it to the uk government and transport secretary
-
hopefully its a good one and find anything else cheap on shpock i will let you know
-
well all i run my aspen in is saws that don't come out for a few weeks at a time as got long shelf life. apparently is good for you and the environment VS standard 2 stroke oil and petrol so why have aspen not got a reduce rate fuel duty for being better and greener lpg has a sower fuel duty even a lower road tax band
-
well today in this heat my echo 2511tes running on aspen since it was new at christmas the saw would have only had about 5 litres of fuel through it was being a pig today very had to get it to start about 30 pull not joke then had idling problems would only ticky over for 30 seconds befor it run off. i only run two of my saws on aspen a 661c and the echo 2511tes, the husky 365xp and 550xp and the ms150 all started with no fuss and ran perfect on standard bp unleaded and standard oregon red two stroke
-
for £280 the makita eh7500w its a very cheap machine is got plenty of power well put together and is near on 180 pound cheaper than the stihl equivalent if you was local i would have lent you the makita for a day to try out
-
i use a 30 inch hs82r for a mix of everything you get use to it and on smaller stuff you not bending so much, but to throw a spanner in the works i was bought a makita eh7500w as a xmass pressent by the gf and I'm shocked how good it actually is, starts 1st pull a lot lighter really sharp blades that leave a good fine finish, vibrations are hardly noticeable on par with the stihl hs82, only down side is the tooth gap is smaller than the hs82r but about the same as T version, the makita eh7500w is 29inch and she paid £280 for it well worth the money
-
im only 5'6 ft in boots myself so no the struggles of being short in work wear the basic loop brush cutter harness as you just undo them and jut them down in size then for extra comfort on the souder simple bit of foam and gaffer tape into you find a small person size one but i haven't found one and that's one of the reasons i wont buy a cow horn brush cutter for as i just use them with out a harness on the r loop handles
