    Get the makita. Will be more reliable than hutzl. Tbh is prefer used main brand than hutzl for reliability and longevity

    Post some pics of your bar and chain. My bet is the bar needs a fettle or there is a issue with the chain
  3. billpierce
    Twice as safe though

    Also have a diy one like you describe. The haas is better, not bulky and has more spring so you can step furthur and capture more progress with each step.
  5. billpierce
    Fun though.

    Made a giant wolf delek for the local folk festival with a couple of mates. 3rd year we have made a burning wolf sculpture. 2 days for 3 people and a lot of slab wood and screws. Delek part of it was made i solidarity with local sci fi museum getting hammered by the planners (local story). Anyways made a nice change

    Yep or the echo 2511. Have both, not picked up the stihl for a good while

    My 361 did this just before the coil packed in. It does sound the spark is too advanced. It be looking at coil gap, and double checking flywheel key

    I used metalmorphosis and waxoyl. Seems to work ok and not to hard to apply. Id really suggest get waxoyl gun for a compressor. Means you can blat it on thick and get it to all the nooks and crannies in a fraction of the time. I just got a cheapo off ebay and worked well. Have to heat the cans it hot water though

    Sweet. Let me know how the bar and chain hold up with a 200 powering them
  11. billpierce
    Is that running the rotatech chain? Looks reasonably rapid

    Arbortec skafells are pretty nails ( not tried the lites). The pfanners prolly worth a punt also

    Sweet, that size chain is a probably the best compromise of small and strong ( stronger than the 150 chain). Is it chattery like the other northern arb chain is?

    Looks like they lunge well david?

    Prolly the oil pump behind clutch needs removing cleaning with a compressor and replacing. If still no good replace this

    If you must buy new Get a makita dcs4301 hard to beat for the money. Pretty light and sturdy. Personally id sell all your saws apart from the 254 and send that to spud for deep service and youll have a belter of a saw on your hands.

    What do you mean fixing rope at bottom and jugging up. Obvs there is friction or rope over branch but also gives you a 2 to 1 pulling yersel upsie

    Yeah sods law. The wall near tree down from the one in the pic had a huge bulge and my neighbour encouraged me to batter it as he had to take it down anyway. Quite wierd deliberately hitting a drystone wall.
  19. billpierce
    Not quite sure i follow why you would do that? Maybe im being thick. Would have to be quite a bungee to over come the force of a falling stem, so much so it would have to be pulling it real hard at the wrong angle to the fell?

    Also use a ct. No complaints
  21. billpierce
    How much is a month jonathan and what do you get?
  22. billpierce
    Nice sunny day. Couple syc dismantles for a neighbour. Done by lunch time. No rigging, dry stone wall is getting rebuilt anyways so wasnt bothered if i smashed it. Left a mess for them to tidy - loving those tidy up free jobs!

    Pic from today. Bog standard hinge, was just the main stem as not enough room to drop whole tree at 90° to wall
  24. billpierce
    If no bales available. Pull a good load of staples out. Avoid the posts and itll go back up ok if you do catch it by mistake. At a glance they should pop over the fence though
  25. billpierce
    Celi, you will get there! Well done for bothering to fix it yersel. Good chance its just a little something not quite right
