Arbortec smock needs nikwaxing more or less everytime it rains

I have a makita dcs4600 and ea5000p for sale if your after second hand. If not I hope you find a gooden. Personally I rate the pro makita stuff ( better than the farmer grade stihl/ husky). But overall prefer echo to makita ( only really used there too handles though no echo 50cc saws).

Wonderful many thanks!

Hi jase, Afraid it's still leaking whenever working on a slight incline. Be great if you could have a look for parts for breather mod. Filter change made no difference by the way. Thanks

My God! You can nearly buy a new set of spikes for the cost of those hydra cool pads!

Dmax 4x4 stuck in hi and low and cant get into 2 wheel drive
billpierce replied to mattyboy's topic in Arb-Trucks
Sounds very like the diffs were tight from being driven on tarmac in 4x4. Really not very good for them. Can take quite a bit of reversing and going forward on soft ground to loosen off before you can drop into 2h again -
I've found the small echos to be decent. Had a 360tes ( top handle version of 360wes) since 2016, no issues at all. Bought a 2700wes second hand for carving, very light and again no issues at all. The 2511wes looks a good hedge layer. Been using makita cordless for a while. Like it, powerful enough ( the 36v ones are what you want unless pruning). Also very very cheap Makita DUC305Z 30cm / 12" Twin 18v LXT Brushless Cordless Chainsaw Body Only WWW.EBAY.CO.UK The Makita DUC305Z Twin 18v BL LXT Cordless 300mm Chainsaw has a brushless motor, and captive nuts that prevent loss of nut when removing sprocket cover to replace guide bar or saw chain. DUC305Z Features.

Also worth noting I reckon the 043 1/4 chains want to run a bit slacker than bigger chains or the rails ware real fast
-
Good to know. What makita you comparing it to?
-
Still doing it
-
Ouch. Please let me know if your breaking it or selling as a whole. Need a few bits for mine. Ta

Pal of mine cant log on here for some reason as asks the arbtalk massif; "changing the taxation class of a 4x4 crane Lorry from HGV to agricultural Going to run a PTO winch and chipper off it as well and it will be predominantly for golf course and estate work but will need to move it between sites." So anyone done this recently?

What comms/Bluetooth helmet or ear defenders
billpierce replied to essexjack's topic in General chat
Had the freedconns for 6months or so, no bother so far, best 60quid I have spent -
I'd say 300 for a very good condition one is about right. I am trying to sell a 550 with light use and havent had many nibbles at 325. You may find one for 250 or 275 mind.

Sweet. Reminds of of rexquando https://images.app.goo.gl/zmFHVo9T4JEo5hiD7

Archer? Tried a few loops of theirs and never managed to sharpen them before they snapped. I wrote them off as junk. Let me know if this isnt your experience
-
I have only done this twice in about 14 years, storm grade rain in connie monsters warrants it.
-
Thanks for replies, not into a super cheap one as reckon it'll die doing a load of 404 chain ( my last cheap one did). Any thoughts @roughhewn ?
-
I know we have been over this, but what's best bench mounted electric sharpener. This is for doing 48" chains that have it metal before any gives me the "man up and do it by hand". I do hand file mostly and happy with it, but doing 4 x 48" chains that have all it metal and having to put them on a double ended bar each time is tedious beyond belief. Killed a went florabest I was given in about 3 chains. Use a dremmel with diamond files but also not actually that quick. So oregon? Portek? Others? Ta

New bar and old chains... they don't go together!
billpierce replied to Rob D's topic in Chainsawbars
Rob have you had customers calling in with similar failures on other brand bars you sell like gb cannon etc? Personally I like the sugi bars and haven't had an issue with them, but only runs 20" and a tiony sugi carving bar.
