390 feels more nimble to me but bit less grunt, but not loads less

You never know. Been looking ever since and not found one!

I dream of a lwb sj with Peugeot 1.9 xud lump in it. Saw one for sale 5 years ago and regret not pouncing on it immediately.
-
Any chance I could buy that pre ebay?

any update on this les?

Only run 1/4 on my echo. But the makita stuff comes with 3/8 .43 chain, and not a huge difference in speed of cut between that and the 1/4 but the 1/4 ) leaves a much smoother cut, but more irritating to sharpen.

I have broken so many and then broken the replacements whilst installing fairly often . Hateful, but more convenient then getting it fixed in a shop

Much nicer than doing phone screens
-
Do you mean compressor powered ones? I use one a bit, great for losing chains Mark's but can leave a bit rough finish if your not careful.

What stubby says is Bob on

Mine was certainly good. Didn't really notice a difference between the two, though never compared with some bar/ timber combo. The 3120 definatley have some grunt

880 stopped pretty sharpish on friday. Seems the clutch drum has cracked and wedged the brake band ( now in 5 mangled bits) . new one to me
-
Depends which one you bought seems they sell genuine 80quid ones and non genuine ones. Either way worth doing a vac/pressure check when changing as you may have an airleak causing it to run lean. Why did it sieze the first time?
-
Sadly, i agree. Seems harsh but if the seller arranged courier not buyer, its the sellers responsibility to check courier is ok to courier, package properly, and insure against loss or damage if they want to. If the seller has cocked up here its hardly fair that you just loose a saw

Good chance your pot will clean up unless badly chipped or very deep scoring. As said meteor is a good italian non original brand. Had one in my 361 for about 7 years with no bother
-
Have a go with yhe 153 first. Should be just the job
-
Sorry to here this. I have had similer issues. My bet is it was poorly packaged so sharp bits where exposed or leaking fuel
-
Sweet jesus thats strong money! While we're on the topic what do folk reckon a decent mk1 550xpg is worth. In Reasonable nick, obvs not been a full time forestry saw, but not on its first chain either.

When you changed the carb did you seat it properly onto the carb boot/ gaskets etc?

Best climbing electric chainsaws?

Fairly sure any battery saw on logging duty is going to eat batteries fast. I dismantled a mature ash ( 42" stem) tother day and by 6pm was onto my 3rd pair of 5ah batteries, which still had 3/4 of charge at end if day. I didnt cut much over 12" with it though, and did the stem at the end with real saw -
Well, its pretty pokey, cuts stone well and sands real good. You cant push it as hard as the mains equivilent but its certainly far from useless. Does gobble batteries - but hard to judge as cutting varied bits of stone etc, but sanding floorsboards with the trigger flat out slightly dissapointed with trigger time. Especially as my double charger has just popped ( back undee warrenty with makita, they collected next day). Its noticable lighter even with the batteries in than mains equivelent. So far so good. I let you know how it holds up

Not tried the husky one but have used the stihl msa160 and msa200. I prefer the 36v makita top handle and back handle saw. The top handle has loads of grunt ( i reckon more than msa160 though not tried side by side). Had my back handle for 8 months, no issues. And generally makita a very good on warrenty and parts ( for other kit of theres i have).
