i find mine tightens while working and can be hard to loosen. a while back it started drifting a bit while chipping into truck no matter how much i would tighten it. cured it by welding a series of dots on the flange. never moves now and not hard to open

i have a 681, 80cc professional. very well built similar to stihl really. i would say their semi pro saws would be as good any of the big names equivilent

tractor/loader for me.does every thing you mention + pulls track chipper or mini digger. is 40k.groundy will usually follow me to job in tractor and arrive maybe half hour after by which time i.ll have signs up and paperwork ready. i live in a hilly area and find i am saving a lot of wear and tear on my tranny and hilux by using tractor for the heavier towing, great to have winch and loader on site, saves loads of time. also tractor can get into tighter spaces and more versatile for farm work and hence more saleable when you want to upgrade. having said all that would love to own a mog.

:thumbup1 good point. sitting waiting for rain to stop is just a recipe for doom and gloom. better to get stuck in first thing and finish earlier on wet days. a change of clothes at midday helps a lot, and a change before driving home is a must.

smooth work and great video
-
today was our 1st day without rain in 3weeks. would be out of business if we had to wait for dry weather over here. yes, but it does bother me when it,s every day. funny thing is, after 2 fine days we forget all the crap weather and where our rain gear is left.

have had non turbo one 4 and a half years from new.have changed flywheel bearings 3 times over 1570 hours 150euro pressed on 3 - 4 hours work. (once was because of new groundie packing cordaline into it)no other probs, works fine every day.a lot better built than tw150.
-
6 inch, maybe up to 8 inch with antistress. what model tractor?
-
have had tw 190 over 4 years from new. over 1500 hours ,3sets of bearings @ e150 fitted.no other breakdown of any kind and good to go for a few more years. had 150 before,was a toy in comparison. 20k(euro)new chipper worked out cheaper than 6k one when you account for downtime and repairs.
