Hi guys, hoping someone can help me out ! 
 

Trying to fix my long reach hedge cutter but this is my first battery tool breakdown so I’m a little lost. 
 

I changed the gear housing due to it being worn and causing issues the the drive sprocket alignment and since putting it back together I’ve had the following issue. 
 

I’d press the ‘throttle’ and it works for perhaps 5-15seconds before stopping and lights on the handle flashing, producing the warning code for overload.

I thought perhaps I hadn’t put the cogs back together correctly but I’ve just changed the rotor assembly and while it was removed it didn’t rotate freely. I’m abit stuck with it so any advice would be greatly appreciated! 

Appreciate the reply Dan ! 

As per title, though not just overhanging branches - a 30% reduction all round.
 

Obviously you’d need the tree owners permission to do so, but what if you can’t find out?? 

The trees in question are positioned over the back boundary and on a grass verge, the far side of a footpath, they’re not council owned, no TPO/Con Area, Land registry has given no clues other than they they’re not belonging to the customers house or the house opposite. Anywhere else to look to find out ownership? 
 

Any help much appreciated 

I found the folding down chute lid to be useful for extracting stones from smaller piles of brash before chucking them through. 
 

nope I don’t believe the m250 comes with the engine guard. 

I wanted to share my old wee chipper setup to inspire others! JoBeu M250 fit snugly into the back of a Kangoo, unloaded on ramps and 3-1 pulleys, can fire the chip into a mini Ifor tipper trailer, which had about 2.5 cubic metre capacity! Had this setup for a couple of years and did my proud!

Thanks for your top quality post! 👏 roughly how much would bearings cost to replace on the cutting disc ? 

I’m in the market for buying a used chipper, but It’ll be my first tow behind machine and with only a low budget I’ll need to know what’s the main things to look for when buying an older machine. What are the expensive things to go and the signs things to look out for? Be chipper specific please! I’m alright with engine maintenance. 
 

cheers!!

Thanks nepia, for some reason I presumed genuine Jo Beau blades where going to be mega money, but actually ended up being what I expected from aftermarket prices. Global had them in stock and with me in just a couple of days. Cheers!

Anyone know where I can get hold of some spare blades for Jo Beau M250? The usual places don’t seem stock them as they are a different size to the M300
 

Cheers

I did try that but it seemed too floppy, I could do with a small shackle to attach the tether in line with the body of the zig zag. 

Anyone know of any reason not to use the single tether rope wrench on the newest non swivel version of the petal zig zag? I have just bought one and I’m in the process of trialling it. I know there’s the chicane but I already own a RW. Only thing I can think of is with the single tether it doesn’t distribute the weight evenly and may cause more pressure on one side of the Zz. The rope wrench does seem to pull to one side when weighted (see pic). Other than that it seems to work beautifully ??
 

cheers 

I hate premature blowers

Spoonz, would you work away from home all week for £60-£110/day?

150 is climber money. If training is being provided then they are obviously unskilled. £60 - £110 per day

Do the bars for the echo 2511 also fit the 360tes? And if so do you also sell the 1/4 sprocket for the 360?

Thanks for your feedback, smaller chain may be the way to then.

What oil are you using with your fuel mix?

What’s other people’s thoughts with experience of this saw?

I’m a little disappointed after reading the glowing reviews of the echo top handle. I purchased it and have been using it for about 2 weeks and It doesn’t have the grunt of the stihl or husky equivalents. There are many things I like about the saw but for me it doesn’t pull through wood as I was hoping- it was even getting bogged down on 7” diameter willow today. I would say my trusty 338xpt has more power, but for the money I would say it is OK.

Running the standard 12” bar and chain.

To new buyers I would probably recommend buying a refurbished 200t over the 360, but it’s still early days.

Anyone had any dealings with stein defender chainsaw boots?

Ive always had meindl airstreams but i wear the toe edge out really easy from climbing to the point my steel toe cap pokes out and my feet get wet.

looking for some good alternatives and have always been impressed with stein gear, but never had the boots

any advice much appreciated,

Joe

Greenscene is an excellent company to work for, they are based in Napier, Hawkes bay. They are always after good climbers and don't just do small back yard trees as they get work through Hawkes bay district council - big tree work! They have great kit and are a great set of guys always have a beer at the end of the day.

I worked for them for 6 months when I was in NZ and would happily go back at some point. Napier is a nice little town. Good luck.
