  1. Gr8 words indeed Joe I loaned my saw to an arb mate so it wasn't atome to be collected, but they attempted collection today and failed so i'll foot the bill and have it sent back.
  2. Yep me too.
  3. Rob D, The box 280 arrived in had a sticker saying the 2510 had to be repackaged and would be collected on 18th July. Yet you say above that we need to let you know when to pick it up. So what is the case then as i don't wanna return the 2510 just yet ? Thanks.
  4. 'Sminky' ain't she
  5. I think your gonna need something with more than 3.5 ton capacity as yer gonna struggle to stay legal. Are the 'Feds' hot on legal towing weights and regs. down there ?
  6. Thanks fer all the help Rob D, much appreciated.
  7. Nothin' do with me, but if i had the money..... eBay item number:252455184595 Mercedes Vario 814D 4x4 crew cab, winch, tipper, low kms, unimog. | eBay
  8. Just tried the Echo 280TES, removed the spark arrestor and was surprised at how restrictive the exhaust looks. It too has a 'Cat' inside the exhaust as you can just see it. I really do not like the 3/8ths 50 gauge chain and bar combination, The Chain is a 91PX040XJ, just too aggressive an experience fer me. It'll hafta have .43 gauge cutting equipment fitted me tinks. Cannot wait for the CS2511 to come out.
  9. nah he's got a big lolly, 18 tonner me tinks.
  10. Good choice. I used to have the Silky setup with the blade and a seperate lopper attachment but sold it when i got an AUS Pole set, complete with separate Bahco blade attachment, hook and parrot nose lopper/pruner. I prefer this setup as the sections are 1.2m long and i have 11 sections and is easy to store in the truck. Being insulated is a bonus too, not cheap though. It's great for getting an anchor point for my climbing line and i haven't used a throw line for a few years now. Horses for courses i guess.
  11. my mate had a Pathfinder and it ended up breaking his heart and his bank account.
  12. Guess my replacement will be here next week then. I'm stihl using the 2510 though.
  13. met he yesserday fer de first time. 35 years....old goat alert!
  14. yep thas de badger
  15. Have all UK CS2510 owners had a replacement CS280 yet ?
  16. If i order 300 reqular business cards i usually order about another 50 magnetic ones at the same time. I jokingly make a big deal out of handing a magnetic one to select customers by informing them that i usually charge £19.99 for the Fridge / cooker Hood magnet but on this special occasion it will be free. My fridge has plenty of business card magnets on it from plumbers & electricians to a gardener chap i know. They do generate some new or repeat business but it is obviously limited.
  17. Nice setup Al Cormack. Had a bbq at our's yesserday and my Wife's old school friend came along with her chap. We got talking, he does garden/spraying type work and I do tree surgery and lo and behold your name came up in conversation and i immediately recognised it from Arbtalk ! John is his name, ex Plod and a nice chap. Small world indeed.
  18. yep soumds like coil issue, although i wonder if the HT lead is arching out when it warms up? Might be able to test the coil and/or replace the HT lead and plug cap.
  19. Yes this has happened to my 360 2 or 3 times now.
  20. wow thas not good to hear as it's the complete opposite over here with plenty of email info and support flying around to keep us in the loop.
  21. same happened to my 360TES, but not my 2510.
  22. vans off the road at the moment but it's ok, got backup Good ole Bandit with a big ass chair.
  23. Good review George, thanks very much.
