  2. Does anyone know if the 560 has the same lengh crank shaft as the 562 or is it just the 555 that has shorter? Is the change over to 3/8 on the 560 just clutch/sprocket/wormdrive plastic thigimny etc?
  3. Yeah, we ran ours on an 18 originally but for reasons we put an old 28 bar and new chain from a 395 on and were surprised how well it worked, now it's one of our go to saws for in the tree with that setup (actually we fight over it for felling to). Keep thinking about changing our 560 to 3/8 and trying the same on that. Maybe I'll post a video of it if I get time. Actually the other week I 1/4ed a 3m oak log to lift out with it.
  4. I can confirm the 562 rips with a 28 bar. In a pinch we swapped out an old 28 from a 395, never gone back, awesome as a big saw in the tree. She's a weapon.

  12. We did some work on the Aberdeen bypass. I stood and watched a young guy on a massive 360 with mulcher head, we have a saying up here, coo wi a gun. Clearly no idea what he was doing. However the guy just over from him from mw groundworks on the fendt/mulcher was superb. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Arbtalk mobile app

  19. I don't think his or strathbogie stock much arb related gear, maybe saws boot and trousers but that's about your lot. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. A couple of years ago some mates of mine set up puzzled monkey arb supplies in Perth. The plan was good, however no one came. Everyone complained prices were more expensive than online so they shut up shop after I think one year or so, sgm couldn't make it work. Plumbers in Kirkcaldy sold up and shut the shop because not profitable enough. All our small local dealers complain of lack of trade. We bought 3 saws and a hedge cutter recently from our local husky dealer and they said best trade they done all year. If we don't support them they will go away. No one's going to open a big arb supplies in Scotland unless they can instantly be in the same league as honeys/frjones/etc. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Arbtalk mobile app
