Hi Jon can you explain the above quote please ? Toyota same as what?

yew nasty man

me missus used to do me sewing but then i discovered 'Copydex' glue, sewing no longer required.

Here is my simple setup using 2 small carabiners that i salvaged from broken break away cables off the chipper, a simple steel cored curly lead and a basic screw gate krab. It has worked very well for 3 years. Yes it does snag from time to time but so do the loops on the rear of my harness and my saw strop snags too so you simply get used to it and deal with it accordingly. There are times when i'm putting in the backcut on a limb with the silky and i have to swiftly re-holster the silky to use both hands to push the limb away in a given direction....this lead to me fumbling and sometimes dropping the saw. With my setup pictured i can simply drop the silky and retrieve it with no drama and NO it does not spring back up and kimbo slice my ass !! The udder pic shows how i carry my cambium saver on the rear of me harness, it was a stock krab that had a worn spring gate that would not return properly so i took the dremel to it and cut off the spring gate, this enables me to simply push the krab open to access the cambium saver.

i agree but they are like rocking horse doo doo.

horses for courses. All i know is i'm quite careful with kit and accept the performance differences between various brands, but if a saw is poor imo i will say so.

I cannot stop licking the puter screen.

well it's a 'Paddyfest', 1 Irishman to anudder.

yep i quite loike Transits. pretty good for distance work too due to spacious cab.

old Isuzu TF pickups were available as a bench seat (the hand brake was located in the dash) but they are very very rare and also very very old as it wood've been in the mid 1990's.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or even have a yard or site where i could tip out ? Thanks Ken.

MS200T was/is prolly the best climbing saw out there but the new Echo 360TES and the 2014 or any updated MS201T is gonna be an excellent saw too. If i had to buy another climbing saw in the morning it would be a new 201T. I'm not too rough on kit so i've been lucky so far.

not had those probs. thank goodness.

People please wear appropiate PPE. I've had various (non serious) eye injuries, foreign bodies, saw dust grit etc over the years and it is quite painful and stressful. I now tend to wear safety specs along with my chainsaw helmet visor when cross cutting, climbing, feeding a chipper etc. I wear safety specs if i'm out in the garage painting wood, doing DIY or tinkering with a saw etc. Ever tried to walk across the top of a previously topped conifer hedge/tight stand of trees with all those sharp small diameter twigs/branches/pegs ready to poke yer eye out shud you slip and fall off a foot hold ? It something i take seriously as my wife lost 85% of the vision in one of her eyes after a simple garden accident about 7 years ago. Basically it was a large shrub with long thorny spikes on it, it caught/snagged in my jumper as i pushed past it and released under tension and smacked her in the face. The eye specialists had their work cut out for them as they don't see many serious eye injuries due to increased H&S and wearing of facial PPE but after 4 bouts of surgery her eye is nigh on useless. Please be careful out there.

well done yew two. I'm sat 'ere smiling for you both.

Off topic (has a hazlenut in every bite ya know....) but i tried another MS201T yesserday, twas manufactured in dec. 2014 according to the sticker on the chain brake handle. It was brilliant to use unlike the previous earlier incarnations of the 201T, no stalling or bogging down, and once it was warmed up from cold it's pickup was excellent with no hot start issues. I gave it a good trial as i was crown lifting/dead wooding a biggish oak. It belongs to a mate and he moaned it wasn't as 'peppy' as his old MS200T to which i replied 'it's simply a different saw' and is as good as my Echo CS360TES. Reckon they are more robust than a Husky 540T too.

ouch.

c'mon the Greens ! oil be back from the pubic drinking establishment tonight to either revel or grovel, enjoy it folks

good man thanks.

dud link Differs.

well said SMG. you've hit the nail square on the head, I agree wholeheartedly.

side cover removal and exhaust removal takes about 3 minutes. wonder if cutting open the zorst and removing the offending loose part and placing it in the thrash receptacle would cause any running issues ie; would it run lean as a result and cause enjun damage? suppose ya cud simply tune it. Bet the warranty would be null and void then.

yep i have had to wait 3/4 weeks for them to send out a replacement nylon chain catcher as mine was snapped after the chain came off the bar so i fitted an alloy one from a Husky ground saw (372xp i tink). Poor parts supply would be enuf for me to return to a new stihl top handled saw.......lucky i have a MS200T also.

well i have read about 3 cases of the 360TES exhaust getting a rattle and it's the round lozenge shaped baffle that comes loose as it's an interference fit. I simply waited 1 week for mine to turn up at the dealers and when it didn't they removed a new exhaust from a stock machine and fitted it to my saw, so far so good. I have noticed it seems to take Echo quite a long time to send spares as i have had to order a few small bits, This is the only negative to the 360Tes that i can see but if it became a big enuf PITA for me i would buy a Stihl or Husky top handled saw as their parts supply is better.

It shure does 'Hoss' !
