I'd say they're ideal for use in a field. We use one all the time. For a telehandler with mancrate and brash grab, and two men with chainsaw and polesaw I'd say £60 per hour for agricultural type jobs. You might struggle to get this though.
-
PMM3 will cut faster than PM3 due to the thinner kerf. Just get the decent Stihl stuff as used on top handles, not the Oregon homeowner safety chain stuff. I use it on top handles, MS181s, pole saws and an MS250.
-
No good around trees and for mulching stuff up. OK if you have a nice big open area you want to cut hay from- but we have mowers to do that now!
-
But hardly relevant to the topic in discussion? We're talking about contractors tools, not eco friendly living. But if we're going to thread hijack, pigs will knock the spots (pun intended) off chickens and ducks for woodland clearance.

It is, we've been here a dozen times before...

He's best off going for a brand new MS181 for £210- otherwise the next post will be 'help my chainsaws broke and I have no money to fix it' He should get a new one with warranty. Top advice on the bar length- stick to 12", and in 1.1mm gauge if the shop will change it for free.
-
The offers on the table mate, but I want a go on your Husky! I'm sure they're both pretty much the same- half the Stihl is Husky technology anyway
-
This might help: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/26020-new-stihl-strimmers-i-didnt-think-they-could-improve-them-so-much.html Fuel economy is much improved over the 450. Mine are now 3 years old and going strong. I'd be open to trying a Husky though.
-
Husky 236 or Stihl MS181 is about all you'll be able to stretch to, and either will outperform any chinese saw. Case closed.

Ongoing SEO for a local business is a waste of money.

Link?

There's your answer...

How is a 1.5t grab too big??
-
It gets worse, it says he was actually felling trees! The GPs were just trying to improve the gene pool. What a full blown retard.
-
It was a tipper? What a waste.
-
Man up and tell the wife to do it...
-
It's because it's got 'Arb' in front of it, so it's OK to just double the usual RRP. Same as the 'Arb' muck truck thingy.
-
Indeed. Nobody complains about foxes being shot, why is a giant black and white weasel so bloody different?
-
Common scam. I would just stop the direct debit- you can usually do this online, and view all other active direct debits whilst you're at it.

You what? Single sided machines are trimmers for cutting fine stuff like yew and cypress hedges. They have faster gearboxes and less gap between teeth. Double sided have slower gearboxes and more torque and even if it didn't it would be just as powerful as the single varient. That Echo HC-331ES is a single sided trimmer machine, and no good for farm hedges. The dead givaway is the plastic catcher for all the tiny little bits of leylandi it's designed to cut.

Anybody want a cherry picker before we weigh it in?

If you take that to a scrappy, they'll stick it straight on eBay. Do it yourself. -
FFS man, you need to cancel that. If you're paying £30 a month it's a contract. Read the small print. I warned you that they would flat out lie to you about 30-day contracts. Also they will stiff you by adding extra charges for 0800 numbers etc. GiffGaff is totally pay as you go. You are completely in control.
-
Ay, and that will eventually kill the gears doing that size constantly if it's hard wood.
-
It might be 38mm between teeth, but you won't cut though anything approaching that size with either machine.

We're talking about >£1000 mowers...
