  2. I've never needed a longer one but that said I've not chogged down big timber since I bought it and can now totally see that ill be buying another because of that so yes mate I'd go bigger if your only buying one Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Although I climb on a spiderjack rather than a zig zag I must say the pulley saver is quite something.. I never climb without it now. Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. I find it hard to see why you didn't rethink it fully after dropping the first saw.. had to just flatten another to be sure?
  5. Your a funny man mark.. I believe Adam already has a pic of this in action on his fb... Should ask him how the puppies are.. Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. Choke first thing and then only if its been sat for over 10 mins here... Some feathering on first startup but as stubby says I just let mine idle for a few secs. Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app

  8. Haha that was meant to be an edit.. lets try again Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. I think the choice of saw is more and more about application, if you want a solid metal pot to bash about the canopy then a 201 is your saw.. if you want a cutting tool that's more delicate but agressive in the cut its the 540, seems there is now a trade off on strength vs power.. I'm happy with my 540 but I've never swung my saw about, I can see how people used to a solid 200 would dislike the 540 on build, but imo the 201 lacks the power deep into the cut which I feel could stop your cuts performing as they should.

  11. Agreed the 540 would perform badly under the truck but that's not what I bought one for Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. I was gonna say that yesterday but decided not to hahaha Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. I chose the husky and I'm happy with my choice. Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. I have to admit I've managed to train my body out of dropping saw onto strop so that'll be why mines ok so far I reckon.. I'm also now well into using the short attachment as designed though this is mildly annoying when using other saws cos its not there haha Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. Stubby the av thing is a real problem and I'm blindly presuming husky will replace it with a redesigned one, skyhuck I can't help but think you just landed a bad one.. shame as mine had been a dream since day 1. Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app

  17. Happy days Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Just bought a spiderjack, amazing piece of kit.. Loving it, but its not to everyones taste. Worth trying both to see which suits you. Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Mine's been perfect since day one I have to say... amazing saw
  20. My 560xpg on 18" is my go to saw... It tackles every piece of timber I ask it to (no matter the size) and starts morning, noon and night.. best decision I've made Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app
  21. I have a 2013 560xpg.. amazing saw, just tackles anything I throw at it. Wouldn't be without it Sent from my HTC Desire X using Arbtalk mobile app

  24. Hi Guys, wasn't sure where to place this thread so It's general chat till I get told otherwise... Here goes.. I'm looking into creating some kind of indoor or false tree for climing practice when when the weather is bad or for a lack of decent tree's to climb outside.. I've heard of indoor facilities before (myerschough) and am asking for a climbing wall which is under consideration but I was wondering if it could be taken further, I'm wanting something you could actually limb walk on, perhaps something with a couple of anchors at the top and a few laterals alowing multiple climbers. If anyone knows of a facility like this please direct me? or any and all ideas welcome for it's consception. Thanks in advance for any help Martyn
  25. Mines spot on :thumbup::D
