I know of a legit one that might still be for sale but prob gone near me for around £7300 on a 2008 if interested can chase it up
-
Proper dodgy looking ad to me, why hardly any description, no pics, only 5 feedback. I'd guess the pics he sent you were stolen from another listing and he hasn't put them up cos would be recognised, the serial will check out because wouldn't be from a stolen machine. I'd run a mile

I once bought an Alfa gtv from a customer for £250 as the battery kept draining and he thought it was gonna be a big repair job so I took a chance, turned out it was still on the battery it came with! (about ten years old at the time) £40 spent on it and was a great motor
-
This one? Wouldn't touch it if so, only one pic, also why would someone take a chipper off sale on the word of someone saying they'd have it before they've seen it?

I reckon my beast would knock them out in a morning 😉 but seriously I think Mick is right, the bigger tracked machines do them in a few minutes -
Just did a quick search out of curiosity and found this assuming it's correct there's only 300grams difference between a 201 and 193. I do think stihl make too many models of saw rendering a bunch of them pointless as they are so close in specifications
-
Pointless saw?? If you want light weight 150 if you want some power 201
-
The downfall of the 461 is it cuts too fast, just as you're having fun with it there's nothing left to cut!
-
I don't know how people get on with such short bars, got a 15 on mine and that's a tad too short as means bit too much bending to make cuts for comfort! 16 minimum on ground saws for me
-
Stihl 084, snapped your wrist starting it, that's a mans saw!
-
What pole trimmers are folks using these days?
dan494 replied to Suffolk-Matt's topic in General chat
Ditto. Can't fault it, and a very sensible price -
I've got a stihl pole saw attachment for the combi system I bought in August, done quite a bit with it and never once sharpened that either!
-
I've just got some sip innovation trousers after last two pairs of sip I've had have both done two years, shockingly light I put them on an wondered if they are actually chainsaw protective!! Cooler to wear than jeans, technology has come on loads since I started!! http://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products-page/ppe-safety-and-workwear/protective-clothing/type-a-chainsaw-protective-trousers/sip-innovation-2-chainsaw-trousers-blackred-type-a/

Because on that tree you could drop the branches in big lumps right next to the chipper and have zero drag, would still be down in an hour. Instead of that you've now got up to 60ish foot? To drag the the branches through a load of now smashed up laurel that also need cleaning up!
-
Yeah he's properly useless, made a bad name for himself in a few fb groups. That tree had no business being felled in any case imo, could climb and knock it out pretty quickly, not smash up all the bushes and has all the branches/wood next to the chipper
-
Heres one some of you may have seen, this guy puts up vids like this to show how good he is at felling!! https://www.Facebook.com/420942288009041/videos/627799850656616/

T540xp ms261 ms361 ms461. Those will do anything I need
-
Probably best not hiring one then! Get someone in to chip for you
-
There's your problem it's the crappy husky guide bar!
-
They cut on par with Oregon ime bit harder to sharpen though. I'd say stihl for climbing where you want a nice clean cut and these for general ground saw use and back to stihl for bigger saws 70cc +

They're just the piranha ones rebranded

Had similar when I was starting out, were felling some trees across the road, was just about to drop one so we were in the road to stop the traffic and this total muppet who had initially stopped sped around me on the wrong side of the road and missed the tree falling by seconds. Dread to think if he was slightly slower
-
I did, it's in Moscow and possibly Sweden, again this bug wasn't just invented! I'd imagine it's been around as long as ash trees!
-
I know there are a lot more educated in these matters than me people about but it sounds a bit sensationalist? Not all ash saplings are susceptible and given the amount of self set ash trees there are I'd have thought they'd get over this fungus in a few decades, after all this isn't some newly invented in a lab type thing it would have been around for thousands of years. It's just nature taking its course. Same as every six months you hear of some new tropical disease that's going to wipe out all humans! A month later noones heard of it again!
