Christ! This gets confusing. I bought the stuff cos you and Stubby wouldn't shut up about it, so I assumed it must be good. In over my head now! I love the smell, reminds me if Speedway. Just a pain that it doesn't come in metric bottles!
-
I get it. I bring my saws to work, cos they're fun and well maintained. I won't use the company fuel though, as I use the best petrol and two stroke oil I know of, and I mix it myself, with no crap in the can. I am quite anal about saws though.
-
Apparently they can't very well
-
That's why I bought it. That and the fact they were 2nd hand from a member on here Sod paying £60 though, easier to make your own. I'll update when I get something meaty, and not the hedge raping I have this week.
-
Well no wonder the warranty won't touch them then!

So on that basis if you repair your own trousers, the buck stops with you? One repaired rip and they're void? I suppose the best idea is not to void your trousers then...

The slot for a caritool is also good for felco 2s on the TM, just don't lean backwards in that direction, you'll get shivved.

You're a star! Cheers bud

Can anyone help? Got a 2nd hand top harness for the TM today. Haven't got a clue how to fit it. Can anyone help with a photo? Google comes up blank.
-
Woah old timer! To much information!
-
Have you emailed them telling them this? I'm sure they'd be very grateful, and probably feel daft for not realising!
-
I can vouch for this. My 357 has has Spud's best work done and it's just brilliant. It pulls an 18" bar great. I've put a 15" bar with an 8t sprocket and it's mental. Overkill probably, but that's why you get a saw ported I guess. You won't regret it. I might mention that you'll also get your saw back cleaner than Richard Hammond's teeth.

I don't find it politically incorrect. If a person was so offended by this countries part in the war, than why live here? Moral hypocrisy.
-
Good to know, do you mind my asking what the Dolly cost new? Maybe I shouldn't have just got a 441!
-
Bold claim, Tom. Impressive if it's true. What's the weight like compared to the 460?
-
Haha I doubt the last one was a complete pleasure, but I do love it. The saws in question are all fine, I'd just rather be proactive than reactive when it comes to maintenance. You'd have been impressed with the amount of gunk I removed from the clutch cavity of the works 460 yesterday...
-
If it's long enough I think it's safer to use as it provides a fast means of descent should you need it. Or we're you planning to use it to rig down a pole? Not so good for that
-
Glad you picked up a good'un Bit of advice if I may? Spare yourself the mick taking, and call it a bar, not a blade. Every other homeowner asks me if I sharpen my own blades, not their fault, but if you're using a saw with any regularity you should really know what the basic bits are called I'm being pedantic anyway, please let us know how you find it.

After leaving a cushy job green keeping for a private school, to work for a tree company, I stumbled into the bath, hung my head in my hands, and asked myself what I had done? 3 years on and I love my job, I've gone from ground work to climbing primarily, I strive to improve myself and couldn't imagine another line of work. Stick with it and don't get downhearted!
-
The 135 seems to rev it's little tits off compared to the 181. Fair enough it's got a bigger engine, but for the same weight the difference is noticeable. The problems are the crap bar and chain, and I don't like the silly master control, or the fact it doesn't like to stay running or warm start.
-
Good to know there's nothing at fault with mine I like the anti vibes. Very fast and smooth on 20". I'd never run anything bigger on it.
-
And if I am is this a design fault with the saw? Or just a new line needed?
-
I've done the exhaust. That's where my engineering prowess ends unfortunately. Just wondered anyone had taken it a bit further and what the results were like. In the new year I'd like to get 3 of my saws checked over and tuned by you when you get the time
-
Been using an MS441 today, pretty nice on a 20" full chisel. But if the saw gets ever so slightly pinched (pretty much every cut when chog going down) the revs seem to increase when I pull the saw out on idle. I wonder wether pulling the saw out is stretching the impulse line due to the AV flexing?
