  1. Those cnts have always been ‘America First’. Trump just exemplifies it.
  2. I’ve never heard it called that before, but congratulations on finding a girl who is into ropes and knots….
  3. I always thought that joke was about birch! works for both I guess.
  4. Don’t really do loading trailers etc but it’s just incredible for grab work. You loose so much height on a normal machine with a grab and rotator. I wish someone would make a triple boom with a 2.7 tonner.
  5. Ok you win! A beautiful machine! The Mecalac isn’t bad either…😂
  6. Can’t beat an intermecato can you Steve?
  7. Echo felling lines are very indistinct compared to stihl I find.
  8. And I do like this Brian James tipper. Well designed.
  9. I still think you can’t beat a GH1054 for moving a 2.7t digger around. On my second now and would have another currently. But Ifor’s flatbed/beavertail range is stuck in the dark ages. Not changed since the 90s! My new Nugent is far better built- well worth the £800 ish extra.

    Husky junk

    I just can’t see it either hence the post! Saw and blower are in the scrap, still have polesaw as shaft is good. One day when i have time I’ll pull it down and put some photos up. I run everything on e5. Until Esso changed a couple years back I was even able to run on e0. ****************ing green policies.
  11. Another vote for the Milwaukee here.

    Husky junk

    I don’t have to patience to do that on every machine. My fs461 and fs490 are stored with normal mix in and never have an issue over ten years. im just at a loss as to why three Husky machines have failed like it.

    Husky junk

    Stored with all the rest of the machines inside an insulated workshop.

    Husky junk

    All three were laid up in perfect health. Started up after changing the fuel and wouldn’t run right, started to need throttle to keep idling etc. Pull them over and it’s clear the compression has vanished. Remove exhaust and I can see scratches everywhere. I have multiple stihl machines stored for similar periods without use and have never had a problem. I’m perplexed. The polesaw has been replaced with Milwaukee m18 which is a massive improvement in performance and I’ve just ordered the m18 back handle.

    Husky junk

    Over the course of a year- polesaw, blower and a 135. All not used for a year or so, so drained of fuel and refilled with fresh good mix beofre staring. Each one has scored the bore on startup and is now scrap. WTF? I never had this problem with Stihl! I'll never buy Husky again.
