  1. As does my MS391 now, thank goodness Maybe by Xmas. Not this week.. The pennies are all spended Porky.
  2. Are you using this at home or for a business? If at home, great. If you rock up at a customers site with a ninety quid Lidl strimmer and try to charge him £300 per day, you might raise a few 'credibility' eyebrows. Just saying like.
  3. Buy the Dolmar before I do
  4. Lol, very good.
  5. I'm interested to know since I've got to find something thin enough to go through the lube hole on my Stihl bar.
  6. You mean you don't wear chainmail socks Richie?
  7. Judging by his avatar, I'd say "you've made a rod for your own back" would have been a better fit, lol.
  8. I haven't seen your hair, so I can't comment. If imagine the tree would burn hotter/longer though. Hair tends to go up in a whoosh!
  9. That's exactly the conclusion I arrived at yesterday. My Makita oil was too gloopy I suspect. I've now got some Oregon in the tank but I may thin it with some diesel to get the old stuff 'flushed through'
  10. From the first picture, I'd say The Elephant Man.. Minimal work required!
  11. That's what I was thinking..£450 sounded about £100 cheaper than I was seeing it. If he's VAT registered happy days, if not the voids grown even more.
  12. Lol, you won't have to clean your teeth afterwards though!
  13. Welcome to my world! See my MS391 not oiling chain thread for more info.
  14. Ok, I'll wait and see if that's what he wants.
  15. This is the Portek I was referring to, the Ultra or something...mega money but looks a bit more sturdy than the cheaper version... Portek Ultra-2 Professional Bench Chain Grinder | Portek Chain Grinders | Mower Magic
  16. Am I right in thinking these are the enormous burners you could stuff whole cows into that will burn any wood waste you have? As in 12 foot talk monsters? I used to know someone who made these.
  17. Thanks for the update, let's hope the finished article is as good as the pre-production samples eh! Sounds re-assuring.
  18. Not sure mate, I own neither. I think the Lidl is a rebranded 'Grizzly' whereas the Portek is a err.. Portek. Might all be the same thing from the same factory, but I know Portek do a 'better' version which is what I'd buy if I ever take the plunge. Disks for these are readily available from Axminster Tool.
  19. Which dealer? Since I dont know where you are.
  20. Me too, I want one so badly, it's insane. If you know a supplier who'll do two for a bargain price, I'm in.
  21. Well said Chris. Sorry your thread got rubbished. I'm sure 'Easy Lift Guy' has successfully alienated himself from the majority of the UK Arb community with his strange rants. I'd be very interested to see if he 'exhibits' here again, after voicing his dislike of us. I'll rock up if he does, for the craic. Now, time for some mature Irish Cheddar with those poppy seed crackers before I slide off to my bed.
  22. 651 + 656
  23. Get the 6100. I've had no problems ever with Makita / Dolmar. Husqvarna have their own issues, although I don't dislike them, I have my own reasons for not having bought one yet, which are too weird for this forum. The £140 will buy you a lot of fuel, chains, oil and beer. Where is the 365 selling for £450?
