  1. Be interesting to know, I wouldn't expect to get the job at that price as only looks a mornings work assuming just cutting to ground level? Fair play if you get it Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Really easy to do yourself, 30 minutes max. Piston stop, clutch off, few screws to remove the cover to get to the pump and gear and swap them out Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. I've read a few articles over the years. A quick search and I've found the USA global warming spend has gone from 4.6billion in 2004 to 8.8billion in 2010. Good money if you can get it! http://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2011/08/23/the-alarming-cost-of-climate-change-hysteria/#2344c8b86f70 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. Pretty much, how much funding do you think know they got 20 years ago vs today? There's always something that's about to wipe out humanity. We've had hole in the ozone layer in the 80's which you never hear about anymore, various diseases crop up every couple of years from the flesh eating one late 90s to sars and mrsa. This year they came up with zika and ebola as gonna kill us all. Nothing comes of any of it except the doom sayers get cash to investigate it all. As for global warming the earth has been warmer than it is now plenty of times... humans think in a few years or maybe decades, look at centuries or millennia to get a feel for a planet that's billions of years old Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Yeah good saw, haven't used my 540 since getting it and skyland are top dealers, been very on the ball with this saw and quick on everything else I've ordered from them🖒 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. Need to do mine, went to a few weeks back but the other side was as sharp as a circle! God only knows how it chipped in that condition! Has anyone used Saturn knives anvils or is genuine the way to go? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  8. Good choice. Had a garden with sycamore leaves and twigs from a reduction up to our ankles yesterday, didn't even need to pick up the rake Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. It is if you want to watch tv! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. I hate that program. They get somone like this to do some work for £1000's which they hand over in cash regardless of if the work got done, buts it's our money that we have no choice but to hand over 😠😠 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Tiny echo!

    They are D ones on echo saws. I did the above and got a set of 4 from amazon for under a tenner Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Don't do it. I've also got an old br380 and the difference is massive. You need to give larger twigs a kick to get them moving with the 380. The 600 will blow bricks... Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. Br600 anyday Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app

    Raker file

    One file a year? I'm lucky to keep one for a week before its lost! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. So the second sharpen is to keep the weight down? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  16. So you give the chain a sharpen twice? Just do it right the first time! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  17. Just got a quote back at £200 + vat! Put one on the car last year for £50 odd Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. I think from what I've read 18-27hp all use the same one. Can get them off ebay in America for £60 seems to be at least twice that here! Couldn't spot and numbers on mine but haven't taken it off yet. Can get a pic and see if looks the same as yours Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. I'm in need of a starter motor for a 20hp one if you're breaking your existing engine or anyone knows a place to source one Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. Had the same thing but thought it was because I switched phones from iPhone to a Samsung yesterday. Thanks for getting it fixed Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. Selling Belgian chippers now? If they're made from their chocolate book the wife in for a demo! Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  22. I think it's the engine design rather than the chippers fault. Had a timberwolf with the same engine that did that. Get a bungee strap with a hook on either end and put one end through the ring for the choke and one around the front of the engine to wherever it can hook on and problem solved Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Also by the work you're doing, if mainly domestic stuff an 8 inch chipper is overkill and makes pushing it around and backing up drives harder Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
