I put on on mine when I bought it. I got a cheap on off eBay that just needed a power and earth wire then you wrapped the signal wire around the HT lead. Took 10 minutes to fit. Did RPM and hours.

We’ve got post and rail at home, looked very good when we first put it in. Now after the horses have rubbed on it it’s all over the place. We’ve got 20 horses and the only thing we’ve found that keeps them where they are meant to be is a mains electric fencing and tape or rope on wooden posts. I’d save your money, horses don’t respect p&r

This is something I’ve never had to heal with before. I’ve been asked by a land owner in Lindfield West Sussex to clear a load of alder. The fields are currently agricultural grazing and there are no TPO or conservation issues. There’s about 40 trees and around a third are ear marked to come out. All the trees are 18” to 24” in diameter and about 30-40ft tall. There’s is in addition a load of oaks that need crown lifting to get the tractors under and 20 chestnuts that need felling all 9”-12” in diameter and 15-20ft tall. I don’t know if we will need to apply for a license to fell this much timber and will the nesting birds issues get in the way? Cheers Tim

Mental health is something is something I really struggle to understand. My father struggled with alcohol, depression, and severe anxiety for the last 20 years. He had a life a lot of people would envy, his partner had a job that paid more than enough so he didn’t have to work. His week consisted of playing golf, doing some work on the house, and then he sold a few loads of logs each week to give him some spending money. He had bad days but on the whole seemed pretty cheery about things. In May last year he took his own life and It turned my world upside down. I ended up burying my head in work as it was the only way I could deal with it. The biggest problem with mental health is there are no physical injuries for people to see so everyone just assumes deep down your fine.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Bought the MS660 they had for sale, mint saw doesn’t ever look like it’s been used. Was planning on buying a 395xp until you pasted the link.

If your planning on going out on your own I’d start by doing a year or two working for a company. You’ll be able to get a better idea on the day to day workings, bits you’ll like about the job, and bits you’ll hate. I’d save as much money as you can afford to, will mean you’ll be able to buy the basic bits of kit you need without the overheads of borrowing money. Also bear in mind that being self employed is not the easiest, it’s not a Monday to Friday 9-5. You’ll find your self working long days and a lot of weekends.

I’ve had quite a few like this, it normally goes ”Will you do it for the wood” or “How much do I get off if you keep the timber” For me, I don’t mill timber and I gave up selling logs a few years ago so keeping the wood is a bonus. A lot of the time I’ll do my best to talk people into keeping the timber as it’s less work for me.
-
The guys obviously worked out he can make more money on them. Either that or he’s down to his last couple and getting as much as possible for them. If the drop down in price I’d highly recommend the seller. Saw turned up in 3 Days from Germany, faultless purchase.
-
If you search on eBay for a 346xp but widen the search area to European Union its a German seller on there. You can pay with PayPal so risk to your money. He’s the only guy selling new ones so won’t be hard to find.
-
You can still buy a 346xp new. I picked one up a couple of months ago, they still have limited stock in Germany. Worked out about £600 delivered.
-
There’s a dealer in Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells that sells FSI stuff. Spoke to him at APF and seemed very happy to come out and do a demo for us.
-
You can buy a 346xp new still in your them from Germany. Worked out about £600 for the saw including shipping.
-
I’ve got cover with NFU, think it’s around £10 a month. Pays out £500 a week if I’m unable to work, and £250 a week if I can still work but have broken a finger or two. Only pays out due to injury, not if you go in for an operation and are unable to work while your recovering.

I bought a GM 150p last year. The diesel version didn’t make sense for me. The nearest garage selling red is a 15 minute drive away, and the machine was another £2-3000 more. That pays for a lot of petrol to get to the same point. Maybe they don’t make sense for the big guys but for me I probably average a gallon of petrol a day, So the extra £2-3 pounds I’m spending on petrol a day doesn’t effect me.
-
I’ve got both. Have the 5m zillion as my lanyard and the art positioned on my steel core flip line. I prefer the zillions action, for me it’s a lot smoother to use. Only thing I’ve done is added a swivel to the zillion just so it doesn’t get to twisted on my harness.
-
After looking into it a little more it’s the 450 version, no turn table unfortunately. Couldn’t see the cutting head as it was in the back of his shipping container. What’s better cutter to have on the head?
-
Take a bow. Just looked on Laski’s wedsite and looks like the 460 version they do. I’ve asked him to work out what he wants for it and go from there.

I’ve been offered a stump grinder by a friends dad that he’s had from new. It’s branded as a Major (the company who male tractor equipment) Does anyone know much about them or what it would be worth. Looks virtually brand new. It’s a self propelled pedestrian grinder.
-
Fail. Today my step dad went to Calais, picked up the wine, went to the local Husqvarna dealer and........ none in stock. If it’s not going to be a massive inconvenience for you Stuart would you be able to ship me two to the UK? If you can let me know how much the saw and shipping would be and also what you want for doing it and I’ll send the funds over. Cheers tim
-
Thanks for the help. My step dad is booked to go to France next Tuesday so hopefully the Husky dealer in Calais has one in stock. I’m not entirely confident in his ability for this to work smoothly so I may have to take you up on the offer of shipping one to me. I’ll report back next week. Cheers all
-
Thank you, really appreciate you doing this. I’ve emailed a few but heard nothing back yet, could be because it English or could be my google translated French. I’ll see how my step dad gets on this week and report back.
-
Thanks for the help. I’ll see if my step dad can pick one up when he goes to France next week. If that doesn’t work I’ll have to Look at other options. Cheers all
-
I have emailed a few dealers but not heard anything back from them. Turns out my step dad is going to France next week to pick up a load of wine so I’m hoping he can get to a dealer and pick up afterwards. Failing that I’ll probably look at heading over myself.
-
While looking at saws the other day I noticed they are still selling 346xp’s new in France. Is there anyone on here who could either point me in the direction of a dealer who would be willing to ship to the uk or someone who would be happy to pick up a saw for me and send it onto me? cheers all

I’ve had mine for 2 years now. With the exception of a yearly service and sharpening the blade haven’t had to touch it. Really is a very good roller mower, cuts better in the dry or the wet than a hayter, will fill the box to the brim, even the customers say how much nicer the lawn comes up using the weibang. Only downside is the weight, if you can live with that then it’s perfect
