A wise man once told me the 261 is the ford cortina of chainsaws, gets the job done, but very uninspiring!

241 is a pro saw, same class as 242 etc

I hope it works out for you, and ideally that would be a feasible wage for a good groundie, but in reality think you might be hard pushed at that rate, I pay max £120 for a groundie with similar quals/kit. But stick to your guns, if everyone demanded that money prices would have to go up!

Exactly what mine does -
I can’t change pipes because the winch is massive and needs the flow

Is it easy enough to adjust the pressure relief? Or would it be better to fit a new one somewhere in the system? The pipes off the pump are massive going into what looks looks like 3/4”

I’m upgrading my mewp, the one I’m interested in keeps blowing the same hose, the mewp has been fitted to a leyland dad 4x4 with a big hydraulic pump, is it likely to be too big a pump or a knackered relief valve? If it’s the pump I’m assuming you could fit a flow restrictor? Thoughts please

Mate of mine hired one and reckons he did £60 of petrol by lunchtime on a massive stump, would soon eat into your profit margin...

Putting a line into the tree officer? Sounds like a good way to get your consent forms through easily!

Don’t turn jobs down, say yes of course I can, then sub it out, spend the day helping/watching.

Trust do mine, pretty good all things considered -
Yeah, it’s my pet peeve, flat out in a 300hp fendt, fully loaded and looking at their f ing phones!
