Reg, i'm not joking no it really is happening! Rainow is on the up!!! MR dickie mint is moving to kettleshulme i believe.. that good to here about the chiansaw's as soo many people say the fuel in america/canada is different! and that saws need re-tuning. I will let you know if the 'new' indian is any good!! see if it's worth coming back for?? thanks shaun..

HI reg hows canada going? looking at the video bloody good!! Rainow aint changed much! the rising sun is becoming a indian take-away!! what i wanted to ask is did you take your chainsaws over to canada? if so did you have to re-tune them! i have a north american spec husky 575xp, what i want to know is if it needs re-tunning? if you needed to re-tune your's then i guess i will need to re-tune mine? thanks shaun.

HI Rick, if your not going to be using every day all day then something like a stihl 391 would suit you, or the 290. If your looking at somthing more durable then the stihl ms 261 or the husqvarna 346 or 357 might tempt you.. hope this helps.. shaun

HI pete, i agree with arbmark, a ms 260 or a 261 as it is now known would be the answer, put it on a sixteen inch bar as a good all rounder, and 18 inch if need's be. Keep the chain sharp and it would about surpass what you require of it! I thiink this month's forestry journal has a write up about the 261.... hope this helps. Shaun.

Hi... we have a a row of lime trees at college and they have the grease band around them to prevent caterpiller's. the female climbs the tree on to the leaves and let off a pheromone, into the male climbs the tree only to get stuck on the grease band... shaun.

The rumour going around my college is that husky have put the saw back to change some minor things to out-compete the 'new' stihl. Something to do with engine cc and other odd things.. again this is just rumours!! i would like to know myself!!
-
Well done sam!! you never said.... on sunday!! then again we were so busy you could of but i don't remember!! anywho again top stuff mate all the best!
-
Hi justin do you have the new vertex in white by any chance??? many thanks shaun.
-
i find Farming satisfying!! i did a stint helping a mate lambing, really really good fun!!
-
I first saw then on ax men!! i thought they looked really cool, then when i started college i friend of mine had this 575 for sale so i bought it and found out it came with the full wrap handle..... charlieh your 372 look sweeeeeeet did you buy with the full wrap i notice it hasn't got the big air filter though??
-
i had heard that my local dealer want's £70 for a wrap round? charlieh any chance of some pics of your 372's with the wrap round??
-
there's just something about wrap rounds!! but i bought it off a mate in this country.. it's just that little bit harder to get part's locally.. but it's all worth it.
-
This is my new saw it's a husqvarna 575xp with a big air filter wraparound handle and duel port muffler! it's running a 24' bar and it's my new love!
-
I wouldn't of thought so given the fact that 2 stroke's are designed to rev! mixing fuel at 40:1 instead of 50:1 will give a little more protection i run both husky and stihl at 40:1 i think it's better for them as the saws get older. hope this helps.

My boss used to use one as a 'brash saw' before sticking it all through the chipper! it did what was asked of it. it's a small home owners saw.. hope this helps.
