I got my 346 xp with heated handles and it's a revelation! When wearing thermal gloves my hands have nearly been too hot! Nearly.... --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=54.217552,-4.421361

Nice one Ben. I am trying to focus on the little things too, specifying what time I will be there and sticking to it is going down a treat! Also being very liberal with dishing out free boxes of CrappaJack firelighters and nets of kindling. If a new client says they have a stove if i have space i will normally load up a pack of saw dust briquettes for them to 'try out'. Most people with stoves will then add the briquettes to thier repeat orders as they are finding them great to keep the fire going overnight.

No but proper training would hopefully mean that you wouldnt be starting your saw on a metal oil barrel...

Have you offered to buy the cord from him? He might go for an easy money option --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=54.217546,-4.421610

£500 for a 346xp-g inc 15" chain and bar and vat

I really started to notice the ring ting after two tank fills today, made me smile... Yours sounded like the tz250 I worked on when my mate did the Manx gp 10 odd yrs ago! A proper tuned 2stroke on the boil is one of my fav sounds.

'only' 8 booked for this week so far...

Sounds the biz that Spud! Used mine yesterday for the first time and wow its a proper beast, just sings up to full speed so quickly. Also the heated grips really do work, my hands were toasty verging on too hot with the thermal gloves i was wearing! I know why you have tuned yours but the increase in noise it not something i would want to live with if i am going to be using it for work on a weekly basis.

I just bought a 346XPg from FR jones, great service and even better price.

I have a 13in bar for mine, it's scary! Lol

ditto

There are a lot of divots in my workbench top! Lol

Yes, Taxi for windfall! After removing all the grease from the 'thingy' i fished out a red cap, refilled with grease fitted red cap and hey presto it works! If I were to promise not to enter the garage to fiddle with my saws with wine in me again Spud think of your drop in earnings! Now time for a glass or two ;-)
-
How did you guess?! Lol Think you have solved it.. Remove internal cap... Doh
-
Hi Spud, got my 346 today, really happy with it! Struggling with the bar end bearing grease gun thingy, is there a trick to getting the grease through?

Just had a look back through my emails for you and 45 x 60cm seems to be a standard garage net type size. I have been offered partially seasoned Softwood for £1.60 and partially seasoned hardwood for £1.90 + VAT. Minimum order was a pallet of 80 nets. Personally i feel these nets are a bit on the small size, everyone round my way sells 40Litres and you need a 48 x 78cm net to accomodate 40litres. Hope this helps.

Depends on the size of net...

Al has pointed out that I have taken his post the wrong way, I must admit to being a bit pis sed off and sensitive about this whole thing. Sorry Al, I appreciate you putting me straight in the nicest possible way. I am off to cheer myself up by playing with my new 346xpg that has just been delivered. Hopefully peir pressure will not cause me to return this little beast... "heated grips are an abomination to the world causing serious suffering and global warming" ...

Al you dont know me so how about keeping your personal assumptions to yourself.

lol... like buying condoms in southern Ireland!

I have gone with my gut feeling firewood, I had doubts when i started this thread and willing to admit that i made a bad call. The majority of my peirs feel its a bad idea, if this is the consensious of people earning a living from fuel then what do the end users feel about it! If they feel half as strong as the people selling fuel then its not something i want to promote or put my name too. I have worked my b@lls off for the last 14 months setting up and establishing my business and i do not want to let anything jepordise my hardwork. That said they are not blood logs, personally I have never heard of log packing camps where people are executed for smuggling logs out of the camp but it seems that is what they are percieved to be. It is frustrating when none of us know anything about them other than whats on the companies website. Now we wont even know how they burn!

Let's hope my money is returned without fuss! Renewable, I will pm you, not willing to discuss my business findings on open forum. Other iom locals lurk and not contribute, I don't want to hand my business research on a plate to them. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=54.224766,-4.391564

I have just cancelled my order for this product.

Dude don't pretend you know the IOM, specifically our government. Every tree here has a TPO, nothing at all can be felled without a licence. Specially not a tree in one of our protected glens, as in your link. I have not said the African wood is Eco friendly, or carbon neutral you have obviously just looked at my website and are trying to be a smart e pants. Don't forget I opened up this discussion. Facts are none of us have actually tried the product or know anything about it other than what's on the website! How do we know it's not sensibly farmed with the support of the SA government? Yes it got wood miles but so has kilndried Latvian wood and there is hundreds of cubes of that entering the uk every month. You have said you don't agree with it fair enough, but there is no need to get personal or start threatening me with trading standards.
