  1. I wasn't thinking a day with it, an hour or two looking over it and throw some bits and pieces through would do! The £100 shouldn't be an issue financially or you can't afford it, it's the principle of paying to try a machine you're looking to buy! And I'm sure it's a very good machine, very tempted to get one in a year or two when finances allow! Just have one for me to look over!
  2. Yeah you could but dropping money on hiring a machine to see what it's like when you're looking to spend 17k on? If you were buying a car you'd get a test drive of one regardless of if you know someone who has one! Why should you do all the leg work when they're the ones selling to you?
  3. You'd think given what they cost they'd have enough machines for demos for prospective buyers!
  4. I'll be interested in changing to a pivoting version, perhaps a different teeth system that's quicker to change. I guess you can't get it to self drive as well for close to the current price!?
  5. I did 😉 I redo it now and then as got a silly quote to do my first one so taught myself! Keeps me ahead of the competition as I can update it without paying to have it redone and not stuck with the cut and paste ones from vistaprint or wherever! I'll look into the sig link, only just finished it a few days ago so haven't had time to do the seo stuff. Anyone else who wants to check it out its http://www.originaltreeservices.co.uk Comments welcome
  6. Get the phone number in big and at the top, who's gonna read all the text to find a phone number? Make it easy to people to contact you
  7. With internet speeds like they are you can go much bigger files and still get loaded quickly! The latest version of my site has a video playing and still doesn't take too long
  8. Could do with your phone number on the front page and the photo you have there is really low def and fuzzy
  9. Agreed, find your own work at at least double your income, that kind of money you should be able to get with a hedge cutter and a bicycle!
  10. Isn't is funny we're all happy to see 110p or so a litre of unleaded but when it was 80p odd there were fuel protests!
  11. Around 200 for a harness delivered from the U.S. Is pretty good I think
  12. https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=1088#detail These guys deliver to the UK at a reasonable price
  13. Can't see you selling many, never heard of them and googles not much more help!
  14. With this being arbtalk we are duty bound to point out that the only chainsaw you should use is a husky 560xp and the stihl 261 has a bearing problem
  15. Good machine got one the week they came out with no issues, skipped the 4 mix stuff all together! There are some 90s knocking about but why buy one when this is cheaper and a proper 2 stroke
  16. I personally prefer the ms261 having had one stolen and now got a 550xp, found it nicer to use and felt more solid also had problems starting the 550 when its hot, but each to their own
  17. I can't understand it myself, got a 2001 ms340 very well used and never been greased in its life with no problems apart from usual repairs. How have they gone from saws like that to ones that have parts that last weeks
  18. Never greased a needle bearing in all my life! Never had a problem
  19. Had that once, phoned the landlord and he was still in bed elsewhere as was supposed to be letting us in. 😡The job never did get done but luckily one of the neighbours spotted us and wanted a quote for some work, turned out to be a mornings work, did it cheap to guarantee a yes and did it there and then
  20. Nope £94, I agree the 365 is a good buy
  21. I'm a tax payer and I'd pay for the bullets
  22. We used to have an old exenco that had that connection, defiantly banged around more than ball hitches but wouldn't have trusted one as much due the the weight of the machine
  23. Plus the import charges, may as well just go buy one locally and get the support of it breaks?
  24. No chance, two man lift to get mine up onto back of a transit, have managed it with ramps solo but not easy so won't do it if can avoid it
  25. Couple of pics of a stump (followed by a the hole left) I've just done first taken at 10:34 the second at 10:48, cypress tree I felled yesterday to give anyone who's interested an idea of its real capabilities
