Recently replaced my. It’s high, 180/190 foot pounds. My torque wrench only went up to 150.
-
Thanks Stere, i’ll have to remember that site. I’ve also got a 350tes which is my favourite top handle, even over the 200t’s but finding parts for any of my Echo saws is a nightmare!
-
I start on and used the Grillon for years. It was ok but the thing that boiled my piss was that it wouldn’t pass loler unless it had Petzl’s own hugely overprice rope in it. Switched to Art, you can use any 1/2 inch rope fo4 that and it works just as well, if not better.

Once smelt, never forgotten!

What is it and how does it react to hard pruning? Thanks

We only very occasionally work in Chatteris. We do have a job in Mepal coming up soon but I have a feeling that they are keeping the chip and wood. Will keep it in mind should anything come up in the near future.
-
this is the one currently on mine.
-
I’d give them a call. They have quickly supplied parts that I needed that weren’t on their web page.
-
It’s equipment used by a tree surgeon, i think that we can take lack of maintenance as a given.

I find Spectrum Plant good for spares

2000hrs, maybe possible in other applications but with a pedestrian grinder operating at all kinds of angles, your probably lucky to get a quarter of that.

Same as Ian, I’ve replaced my engine about three times. Honda aren’t the engine they use to be! I’ve currently got an engine on my that is branded Worm. The company took over the small engine supply after Subura stopped production of small engines. Exactly the same as the Subura EX40 14hp which is compatible. You just need an engine with a 1” straight Q shaft. Bought mine from enginesplus for less than half the price of the Honda but has already lasted longer than the GX did.

Paul, what digging tool(s) would you recommend getting?
-
Ha, last time I camped at yours it was -5c. Appreciated your sofa! When is Paul visiting?
-
Coincidence, my wife has also just bought the Garrett 400i kit as she has always wanted one. Do you mind another learner coming along to your party eggs?
-
That will sting the other dealers! Talked to Ben Burgess before purchasing my last to 230’s. their “deals” weren’t as good as others standard prices.
-
Guess that no one has experienced these. I would have been able to advise but stupidly I ordered a 440 kit instead of the 441 that I needed but did not realise until two months later when I when to fit it [emoji30]
-
I agree, Justin’s saw was getting on but Josh’s wasn’t that old and that went first.
-
Yes, always mix at very slightly richer than 50:1. Will be upping the mix a bit more until all the Ultras been used up.
-
I’ve just noticed that you can buy XP oil in 10ltr which makes it a bit cheaper than ultra, so will be switching to that. That will also keep my Husqy gimps happy [emoji38]

About a year ago I switched from using Stihl Super 2 stroke oil to Stihl Ultra (always mixed with premium petrol). In that year I’ve have 2x Ms150t, 346xp, 357xp and a 441 seize. Bad luck? Just seems a big coincidence. Anyone elsi having issues?
-
My dad had a few of those. I remember riding in it when helping him as a lad. Couldn’t have a conversation whilst driving due to the noise of the engine.

Which Silky & Where do you find most comfortable to carry it
Wolfie replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Climbers talk
What was the other brand that came out? CE - Cutting Edge, i think. I bought four of those shortly after they came on the market. Within a month both scabbard saw blades had snapped and the folding saws had fallen to pieces. -

Yes, I’ve used Samurai for many years. I think that, treated with the respect of one that buys the kit, the saws last just as long as Silky and the secateurs not far off Felco quality but less than half the price. Unfortunately most of the guys I’ve employee over the years seem to be brand bitches though. -
So the cracks and annual movement is related to subsidence rather than heave. I’ve never actually witnessed a case of heave, I think it’s a very rare occurrence. From reading up on heave, I gather it can only happen when all these factors come into play: 1. Clay soil 2. Tree(s) have to predate the building 3 building has been constructed upon soil which is already water deficient due to the tree roots. Open to being corrected. Don’t know how old that building is but Leylandii grow pretty quick.
