  2. jeremy taylor, jason tetly, felledwood transport to name a few
  3. hole park estate nr maidstone try them i know they grow loads trees
  4. Anyone know of a peeler for sale, prefer an autofeed really. Robopel, cundy or neuhauser not interested in a posch Cheers
  5. Speak to Copford sawmill he's only round the corner and will give you an idea of its value
  6. Quercus fencing is only place I know of that does cleft posts and they're in Somerset think there are a few more firms doing them, thought about chestnut as an alternative?
  7. Got some Chestnut being cut at moment with lots of hop pole material in the stand. if anyone is interested send a pm Cheers Steve
  8. You will have to order the elbow from a dealer and I got rest sent over with other bits from states. So eBay for cover
  9. Nope need a different carb to air filter elbow
  10. if the dealer doesnt fix it i will get an echo 620 and the fact is i need reliability and husqvarna cannot provide this service anymore with the 550/560 saws
  11. Mk 4 hi lux usually find one cheap and will run well if looked after
  12. 390 is slightly heavier than a 576 I think and lighter than 395 but 395 is better in the cut. If for forestry 390 all the time but for arb I'd say 395
  13. Had 2 1000th till start of year great machines but expensive for parts scary quick on road for old tractor
  14. think il go find a 361 and stick with that
  15. Reliability is the main problem with them, its at a dealers and has come up with " same common fault codes " in simple terms the carb and electronics are shot so new needed and should be covered by warranty. Problem is that they are getting about 2 saws a week with the same fault codes surely husqvarna must try rectify the problem
  16. good to know, il see who's closest to me for to get a trial on one, anyone run them on 3/8 chain 15" ?
  17. saw will run on choke flip it over and will run then cut out when trying to rev? any ideas? Had lots of these now and just sick of problems can anyone recommend an alternative as its my most used saw, what is the dolmar equivalent? any others recommendations ?? Cheers
  18. I have some firewood only down road in goudhurst 07751057259
  19. 20 inch down to 2-3 inch cut to 2.5s about 10% chestnut
  20. Have an arctic load of alder ash birch and chestnut all on hard standing with good access for arctic. Not looking for much as need room for stacking
  21. Would kent be too far? How quickly do you need them? Re the alder im guessing if they are peeled you want them asap and whats minimum top dia? can do alder or chestnut
  22. depends where you are( kent) £250 - £400, so paling wood is lower end and heavy wood(rail/post) higher end
  23. try this i think all you have to do is make a donation by memory and ispretty simple to use. myForest • home
  24. I can just about get them to last over a year and that's felling with it pretty much 6 days a week then they just play up, im on my 3rd now thinking of getting a dolmar instead or find an old 361 !! What dolmar is the same as 560?
