Fair enough, but makita do do blowers pole saws chainsaws strimmers etc all on battery. Only tried their saws which a good, heard good things about their hedge cutters etc. If you have a few batteries and charger you're half way and the cost of thr bare units is nowt
-
Get one you wont look back. Not had it ages but seems to be holding up fine. Thanks for your price, thats what i am charging so pleased i got it about right.

They are surprisingly good. Obvs not quite a ms200, but carving with a 10 or 12''bar is totally fine, wasnt tempted to pick up my ms200 carver once. I keep reaching for the pull starter everytime i pick it up though. I risked some non original waitley 6ah batteries as they have a 30day no quibble return ( i was pretty sceptical, but are more than half the price of makita ones) and they are totally fine 2 months in, same if not more power ànd last noticeably longer than makita 5ah ones. Also the throttle is not just on off like other electric saws which makes carving possible. The little duc254 is dream with the r7 detail bar as well.

Thanks, no time left for tinkering with it and not doing anymore so that's just how they will be!

Burred bar or worn bar rails id say. If it starts and runs ok prolly compression isnt the bother

Done this for Rothbury this year delivering tomorrow, will get some pics once installed. Bit of a rush- wanted to do more work on them all- they are pretty simple detail wise, but already done more than i am being paid for time wise. Be interested to know what others would charge for this sort of thing? Carved the lot on makita battery saws apart from major blocking out and sap wood removal. 6 batteries (used in pairs) and you never have to wait for a charge. Really enjoyed no vibes and low noise

So will a saw in tree ticket refresh basic felling ticket? Tedious beyond belief
-
Whats the craic with fisa requirements re nptc refreshers etc. I thought that if you had done a nptc ticket within last 5 years i refreshed the lot i.e rigging ticket would refresh you aerial rescue and chainsaw as it uses both?

The scafells are wicked and have lasted me well. Not really tries the lites or the airsteams, though some reports of airstreams not being as durable as they once were. Dont know if true or not. Id check out the pfanner's and andrews also. Prolly best to go try them all on tbh

Pretty good of you, not sure im on board myself, but appreciate your honesty

Dolmar/Makita 36v Battery Top Handle Chainsaw
billpierce replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Chainsaws
Dont think its in the uk yet. But keen to have a go when it is -
Not used any but noticed this also. Same with the blowers. Is suspect the dearer ones are the ones to go for
-
This. You can get all garden tools in electric now

Whip the cat out if it and drill the exhaust when you get the chance

Which Top Handle Chainsaw for use when Climbing
billpierce replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Chainsaws
Doubt you'll be disappointed -
Atleast they snap before you have the displeasure of sharpening them
-
Eyes and face in general came out very nice after burning! Nice one
-
Almost certainly, the double battery back handle saw is pretty pokey
-
If the veg oil has gunked up the oil pump, its likely the worm drive on the sprocket has stripped. Also worth checking this if cleaning the breather doesnt work
-
Have a deeks at this

Had the little dcs230 and 3401, both ok but slightly underwhelming. I dont think they do a top handle that compares to a 200. The battery ones are pretty good. I have the duc254 and duc3501. Probably the stihl battery top handle saw has a edge, but not by a long way. Especially not on price. Bear in mind you will need an arsnal of batteries, like 4 to 6 depending what your up to. 5ah at 18v isnt the same as 5ah at 36v. I wouldnt get the double battery saw with the toolless tensioner looks pretty micky mouse.

Class day helping prune ( hammer) by brother in laws olive trees and harvesting olives ( for oil, not eaters.) . We did about 50kgs of olives and they cut them back pretty hard here in greece every 3 or 4 years. Seems sinful to cut these lovely old trees back like this, but they seem to love it and its how they been doing it for years. Crazy little toy like rakes for the olives, work real well though. Had the pleasure of using my old cresto harness i gave my brother in law years ago, some old caving rope and a couple screw gate steelies, and an echo 2600, shorts and safety sunnies.
