    Bill i managed to cut open the exhaust and remove the Cat. I suspect you may be able to partially drill thru the exhaust and the cat inside if you don't fancy taking the dremel to it. I agree on sharpening the tiny 0.43 chain, it is fiddly and easy to snap the file in half. I also ordered a 0.50 chain so i'll see how i get on with them and report back. I find i generally prefer Echo climbing saws to be on the tiny chains as they respond well to them for operator safety and clean controlled cutting. Some of the 3/8ths Lo-Pro chains i ran were downright dangerous in my opinion. I reckon the 360 will pull the 16'' bar and chain ok as the cutters are smaller and this should reduce the physical drag on the saw. So hopefully it'll be nicer for bigger dismantles and blocking down main stems. I would love to have the 360 ported though.

    ahhh yer stihl living there then? I'm originally a Greystones lad, my parents are living in Kilpedder now though. I have a few old school friends from Enniskerry. I used to love the road from the N11 into Enniskerry as i used to ride it every morning back in the early 1990's, sooooooo many bends!

    Hello Wes, long time no see. I had Spud fit a de-catted 360 muffler to my 360TES and he tuned it up fer me, it's a good improvement. I'm waiting to hit him up at some point to see if he wants the saw back with view to porting it for me. Literally about to order a 14'' and a 16'' bar and chain in the tiny 0.43 size for my 360TES from RobD as the stock cutting gear is 'a bit too chunky and lumpy' in my humble onion.

    How ya George, I hafta agree with ya there as i reckon them Isuzu Rodeos be it the 2.5 or the 3.0 are great value fer money, but i do think that one on Ebay is way over priced as it's already very old in my opinion. Single cab Rodeos are getting tricky to find though.

    ya the sloped one is supposed to help prevent stones/gravel from getting pulled thru the feed rollers, as they vibrate downwards and fall out of the infeed hopper. But loike yer lads i prefer the folding infeed hopper with the flatter base, small things can wind people up!

    Hi Stew, It looks as though i have sold it to a lad that subs to me but if he backs out i'll let you know. K

    good tip, but there is so little 'meat' left on the U shaped bracket where you have enlarged the holes i can see problems with it fracturing.

    @billpierce he's built them up, muff modded them and some are moderately ported. He sells them as 'display models' only as the emission feds (EPA) over there would try to ban the sale if they knew people may try to actually use them! So you buy one knowing it's strictly for 'display use only' and it's then up to you as to whether you want to break the rules or not...

    George look at this clip, the US ones have X on the side cases, i have no idea what if any differences there may be with these versions and the ones we get here in the UK.
  11. wicklamulla
    can ya put of a pic. of both saws please. i doubt there is a difference between them unless one is running different cutting gear to the other?

    yep that bits is hilly enough. I tend to go a bit ott on the servicing front too and the transit gets an oil and filter change every 3k, i also ask the mechanic to spend another hour or so to have a good poke and prod at everything else like brakes, hoses etc. The 4x4 pickup gets the same treatment. If yer busy and earning you don't feel the extra cost and i prefer to over service kit rather than leaving it to run 'full term'.

    ordered once from Saturn with no problems and once from Northern Arb again with no problems but man they get roasted on social media quite a lot for poor service.

    More Rigging

    wicklamulla replied to RC0's topic in Video forum

    @AHPP so the smooth curved Notch would apply a more even weight distribution to a rigging rope compared to the Arbpro?

    ya done any trips in this jalopy yet Eggs?
  20. wicklamulla
    which wan did ya opt fir in the end?
  21. wicklamulla
    £2220! but thas the daddy that'll tug 1800kg in first gear. I'd prefer 2T power as i know some people that have Honda powered 4T versions that can prove problematic if they tilt over sideways and potentially starve the head of oil. The Eder looks easy to use as you control the throttle setting with the rope. A useful bit of kit that would be an alternative to a winch on a steel bumper or a Tirfor winch. Plus ya cud carry it into the woods in kit form.
