Many Thanks Dan.....perfect.

Cheers Bill, I had already found this...I should have been a bit more precise. I was after the PDF version. I can get an owners man from the US Stihl site but can't find a working link to the partts manual. Or one I can use in the workshop away from wi-fi. Thanks Bob

Please can anyone help with a parts manual for an MS440 Thanks Bob
-
No probs here... Got a 2015 261CM with no issues. Always careful to take tension out of the chain after use as the manual says. Bob

Hi Does anyonwe hire out machines? 240V single phase? A week or two is all I'll need. Surrey/Sussex area Dorking / Horsham Bob
-
Chains were marked on some of the areas I have been. can't say for defo everywhere. Most structures or crossings will have a tag with a measurement. I hope it helps. Bob -
1/4's and 1/2's are posted. The rest of the posting that I have used has been in chains. So you'll get 80 chains per mile. 20 per 1/4 etc. Each chain being 22 yards or arond 20m. Good luck
-
I can't get a match on that number anywhere. Cheers though.

I had 261 spikes as : 1110 664 0501 and the screws to attach: 9022 341 0983

Love my Salomons. 4d GTX - sounds like a car, but comfy as slippers. Taken me all over Brecon and Cumbria

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.

I use the spray attachement in like this filled with petrol....old toothbrush, mask and goggles.. Clears most things.. Air Tool Spray Kit 5 Pieces | Air Tools | Screwfix.com

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
