Husqvarna do a series of youtube tutorials. worth a look before you go out with it.
-
The folding handle broke, as did the brake caliper, brake lever, stop switch, throttle lever and grinding rotor. On the up side the engine still runs! Probably only done about 20 hours with it before i gave up and brought a Bandit.
-
Or both at the same time, more fun and get the groundy running about
-
Orange plant have a peterborough depot and normally have a few chippers in.

i have the rock stump master 2. what a piece of junk, all the parts cheaply built and bits break off everytime i use it. It uses vermeer pro teeth which are a good tooth in them self, but they have to have an 11mm hole drilled through them to be bolted in which is almost impossible on hard cast steel. Rock don't supply them drilled and its a mornings work and about £20 worth of drill bits to do a set in the pillar drill (which i had to buy specially for it).
-
Sounds like a days work for a couple of good climbers taking it in turns, and maybe an extra groundy to deal with brash.

Waterproof Shockproof Aluminum Gorilla Metal Cover Case for Apple iPhone Models | eBay These are really good. keep the dust out of the charger and earphone holes too. dropped mine out of a tree a couple of times and its been fine.

I would definitely recommend one. Its spot on with a 15" bar and is happy fully buried in the wood. Its comparable to an MS241.
-
Gave the new saw a good run today and this one is spot on. From Forest and Arb for £350. Great service!
-
New saw has turned up, Chain break spring seems to have less play in this one, so the lever doesn't sit so far forward when disengaged. I'll give it a good test tomorrow.
-
That could be the case, I was blocking down wood out of the cherry picker when I first used it. not had that problem before though. They are sending me a new saw and sending this one back to japan to be tested.
-
Drilled where the deflector plate is
-
here's the photo. the exhaust gases are aimed straight at the chain brake. They can't have done much product testing not to notice that.
-
I'll get some tommorow:001_smile:

I have just bought one, an hour in the exhaust has just melted straight through the chain brake lever. Waiting for forest and arb to get back to me with a solution. Apart from that is a really nice saw, comparable to an ms241.
-
Definitely do it. makes a huge difference on this saw as its really restricted stock. will rev up much more freely. I went for a 10mm for no other reason than that's the only sharp bit I could find
-
what is the name/address of your shop? your not too far from me.
-
I have a 2014 one but prefer my husky 365. not worth the extra £200.
-
Go for the best ones, its only a few £ extra, when im logging up big timber all day I put in some earplugs underneath, that works really well.

Could this woodland wasp sting death prevented?
GregM replied to tree-fancier123's topic in General chat
I once Cut straight through a wasp nest in an old rotten willow trunk. I didn't realize to start with as they were all attacking the revving engine, then customer ran over waving there arms about shouting, I switched the engine off and they all turned on me instead, I ran about half a mile down that road stripping off to my boxers and the buggers were still chasing me. In total I got stung about 30 times all over, I swelled up like the Michelin man after an hour and was constricted round my throat so was actually quite serious. An anti histamine injection sorted me out though. Leave your engine running, walk away slowly and let your chainsaw be there target. -
newsawchains.co.uk make to order, should be about £15 for 73lpx
-
Very close to a local Arb college
-
£700. 3 men 1 day. call a local farmer to take away the wood for free and drop logs straight into his trailer. 50% of the time I would still get under cut on a job like that though.
