I rate my 261 with 16" bar. Got it Oct 15 and it's worked faultlessly. No heatet handle. Smooth, light and easy to start. I am wary of the bearing issue but the manual says about releasing the chain tension when storing...which i do. No probs -fingers crossed- Bob

Very Much like the idea of Mistajays pallet sawhorse. That's a nice temporary setup that can become firewod when the job is done. Brilliant.

Get field gates blocked all the time. Always for people "going for a walk". When I say there is plenty of parking at a farm cafe 150m away or a pub 750m away they look at you like you are mad.... "we just want to go for a walk" apparently not that far though. Let alone where they are parked being private property. re:moving cars. Told by a ex PC mate of mine not to. It's a potential minefield ..incl criminal damage etc. Not interested in the aggro. Plenty of that around already.

Highly recommended by the chaps from Hereford I believe.

YouTube Stihl Jet Saw...... it's the first choice. Maria Urbina (?)

I got an MS230 of a mate that had worn out anti-vibe rubbers after using something like "Screwfix item no. 5256D " I think having the saw attached encourages people to force the saw through the job.

Here here An old bar and spare chain saves the day.

Many thanks.... Bob

Will this extra handhold be an advantage for milling (using MS660)?? Bob
-
Keen Yes. Shame, for me it's a potential 60 mile round trip around the M25 which isn't on my wish list. Firewood...in the stove...smells lovely, burns like fury

Ours arrived in last week. Had a great time this weekend feasting on a new batch of midges/mosquito that have made the most of the sunny weather. Joy in the swooping

don't want to seem unduly harsh or rude.... You'd probably get a better response in the Milling section.

alright.....The tin went back! Got the Friday feeling too early, sorry

The best I have used is some brake caliper paint on an old villiers chainsaw. It can take the heat, dirt and oil. Needs a bit of prep. I borrowed mine but I know it isn't cheap. Don't know about Blue! have seen .....Red, Yellow even Orange (Danarm) i.e. Foliatec Brake Caliper Paint and Engine Lacquer | Demon Tweeks

That's where I source the wood. A local woodland restoration. thining birch to give established broadleaf a fighting chance

Gatwick area... 15 mins from M23 and same from M25 Jn 8/9
-
Just saw this ....F... Me! Really? For 16 poles? Pretty sure I can supply poles for a tiny fraction of that. If you can collect? or pay fuel! Bob
-
Second this... If it runs fine and stops it does sound like a fuel issue. Tank vent blocked.
-
I'm closer Gatwick. Probably too far. I'm sure you'll find someone closer. In the meantime I'll ferret a few out. You've inspired me! ;-) Cheers Bob

I might have some cut ones. I can have a look later.... it all depends where you are... Bob

Ochsenkopf vs Gransfors vs Fiskars Splitting Axe/Maul?
Bob_z_l replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
I've had my X27 a couple of years...paid more than £50... but as others have said, it is far better than it feels it ought to be. I think the fact the shaft is so light and all the weight is in the head makes it a little like swinging a conker. Very little stuff gets past it. And yes it ploughs through stuff my old maul would either get stuck in or bounce off. I think on the basis that i have lent it to mates to try Fiskarss have sold at least 5 more. Should have been on commission. Now if they made chainsaw chains!!!!! -
Thanks for all the help. Much appreciated
