    I am wondering if you will miss the turntable function? I too have a Quadchip 160 atm but i'm test driving the Evo diesel soon.
  3. wicklamulla
    so you are saying the Evo petrol was 880kg and is now 750kg, so how did they lose 130kg?
  4. wicklamulla
    that was a beaut of a truck from what i remember.

    1/4 pitch Panther c&b 0.43 gauge. I do prefer the stihl 0.43 chain though as it's smoother in the cut.

    2511 is the kiddy and has a big set of ginger baws. The Li saw is sedate in comparison, very different cutting experiences but as a pruning saw it's utterly amazing.

    I weighed a 2511 and the new Echo Li saw yesserday. Both fully fuelled / oiled up and each sporting a 10" C&B but with no tool strop or carabiner fitted.

    this Li saw is the dogs baws. I tested it yesserday on a large cherry crown lift / crown part reduce and a boxelder maple reduction/thin. It is truly amazing to use and i would go so far as to say it would be a great tool for training a new climber where they don't have to mess about with a hot saw and struggle to hear instructions from the ground. I can get one on a 10'' C&B with 2 batteries and a charger for £770 inclusive of VAT.

    ya tiny chains are a PITA to sharpen, sometimes i simply stick on a new chain and hang the blunt one on a nail and maybe i'll get to it one day....

    Ok so it's my turn today to test drive this new Echo Li climbing saw. An easy cherry and a box elder maple reduction shud be enuf to give me an idea on it's abilities.
  11. wicklamulla
    u must have one of the first ones in the UK i reckon Don.
  12. wicklamulla
    Don, did it manage it all on one battery?
  13. wicklamulla
    ok i get it now, thanks for the info.

    Offset pulley, whas that do I wonder? So are you saying it causes excess memory effect on rope which means you need to 'work it out' every now and then? Lettuce snow if yer ever going to sell it on. K

    cool setup there Ben, plenty of chipping power, big chip box and a 4x4 with good ground clearance.

    i want one of those 1800 jobbies but they are about £2200!
  17. wicklamulla
    try Green Trees (Bill Crumby), Chestnut Trees (Dan Wride). You will struggle to get green free woodchip this time of year though.

    apt reply there. Yep from looking at the pics. it looks to have been cut back way to much in my opinion (which is based on the before n' after pics. and not seeing the spec. sheet for the job) I'd rather take it out completely and replant 3 replacement tree instead of that heavy reduction.

    Mark did you drill to muffler to bypass the CAT?
  20. wicklamulla
    ya i bought the TCF one too, i opted for both axles as i like being able to swap over to the floatation tyres if needs be. The skinny tyres are solid so need for air, the floatation tyres i opted for are kevlar reinforced. I also bought the draw bar attachment so i can tow it with a quad or pickup and i had the weldmesh slide on additional sides too. Galvanised steel is way better than powder coat or two pack paint.

    it's gone quiet, you any more info on it?
  24. wicklamulla
    yep i was tinking the same re; small and large 3/8ths bar mounts. Maybe they fitted the large bar mount to later incarnations of the 262XP?
  25. wicklamulla
    Mark it is a known problem and has been for over 12 months. I had lengthy discussions with an excellent echo rep. about it.
