  1. it probably is similar to the 150 T but we were on a big job 2 weeks ago and the Li Stihl and the MS150T was definitely no match for my Echo 2511 TES on anything over 6/7 inches in diameter. The Echo punches way above it weight and out guns both the Stihl Li and MS150T. In fact the climber in the tree next to me asked if I had ported and modded the Echo such was it's performance (which I hadn't). It's so good I don't bodder using an MS200T / Echo 360TES anymore. Having said that I would loike an Li saw same as yours Silky, simply because Li is the way forward.
  2. it's entirely possible that people are away from their yards / log piles seeing as it's a bank holiday weekend and doing family stuff. Have ya tried asking on Facebook?
  3. i'm after 'Likes' Please ! https://www.facebook.com/Ken-Hogan-Tree-Hedge-and-Garden-Services-1900197820264735/?hc_ref=ARQAXjA2Y6-KuCc3SNszqxcECg6fq_GBm4IeUDJ5zMzG-pKH9J42eeqPHpXFeEKR-vk
  4. sounds more like a hydraulics issue Calvin, is the hydraulic oil level ok ?

  7. common sense answer above.

  9. my 1994 Ifor looks better than that one above.
  10. I spotted double ended steel core flip lines on the internet last year, useful.
  11. liked ole Brucey so I did. RIP to a national treasure.
  12. i like the sound of the retractable keyring lanyard as it'd be tidy, but my 2 plus the krabs set me back £6 !
  13. Small wedges are useful when blocking down large diameter chogs to help prevent the bar getting pinched. You can use a twig I suppose, but if the remaining stem is 'stripped clean' they may not be available. I use these small wedges, I drilled a small hole thru the corner of each one and used an old boot lace and a cheap carabiner to attach them to my harness. You can tuck them into your harness to keep them out of the way or leave them dangling. A cheap hack.
  14. This. Plus i ran a wee Greenmech and had good dealer backup. My machine had done alot of work when i sold it on last year but it stihl made good money. The infeed chute on a GM is a better design and alot wider. Hard to beat really.
  15. all sorted now thanks.
  16. Groundie wanted for next week in Mid Devon. 2 days minimum. Nice job with no long drag. 07946606093
  17. LOL that can't happen if ya leave the engine idling to recharge the batteries.....oh no wait a minute!
  18. I tink it's only single cab pickups that are restricted to this Nepia, double cabs afaik are same as a domestic car?

    get well sooner Goatster.
  21. Not completely relevant I know, but I had Western Power out this week to shut down an LV circuit for me. I was admiring their 15 plate Defender 110 utility van which is kitted out with fancy roof rack, winch, van racking, PTO for air and power tools etc and all manner of utility tools they require to carry out their work, the lad driving it said the total cost is 60k each which shocked me. He also put it on the weighbridge recently and it came in at 3900kg, so 400kg overloaded with him and his workmate in it.
  22. Tink Terry Holland of TH Tree Services has just bought one of these petrol Forsts, he ran it back to back against a GM Quadchip (diesel) and it beat it hands down! Which disappointed me as i'm considering a GM Quadchip.
