  1. dont know. I had 5 T540 pre 2017 al were good, never any problem , i got a very good price and in 2017 traded them for 5 new one's. Most of the time 3 saws are in for repairs. ( carb tuning not ok, carb not ok, mosty pistonrings are worn after like 10 hrs!)
  2. nop, none of them did/does. im not the only one. dealer is fed up with the model, absolutly does not want to sell one any more
  3. So last week all my xp 395's, XP562's , 540T etc got nicked, broke into car and shed 😒 Im in doubt what to do next. Husky dealer is verry close and exelent service. But he doesnt want to sell 540T anymore Due to problems with the platform ( saws wont run stationary after few hours) the petrol tophandle he offers alternative doesnt do it for me , too clumsy. 2nd i cut as a subby and that firm has a 500i, husky nor stihl has any saw to rival it. what should you do in my case , ( looking for 2 battry tophandle's ,2 petroltophandles , 2 50-60CC saws ,2 80-90CC saws to get started again. ( totaly no experience whith the new husky's and and tonne of chains , but then there is the unrivalled 500i wich i fell in love whith. any idea's tips? not looking for flame wars but decent advice
  4. Have the same problem with ch380, just reverse for a few seconds.
  5. pellenc and felco here; pellenc lighter, more ergonomic felco cuts larger diameter . like the pellenc most use them for (re)knotting trees of the municipality
  6. Art was al tangled up in tree. Agreed with client he could do the cleanup first. Then he got ill, afterwards i broke my wrist, and then we forgot about it😅
  7. thanks ; was not worried about uv since it was olny cannopy reduxion. More about the combi freeze/wet rope.
  8. Due to circumstances i left in summer 2021 a brand new climbingrope and art achor in a tree, wich i recoverd now. Should the gear still be considerd safe? ( seen freeze when wet), kit still looks tidy, ropes souple. The store did not dare to answer. Anny testing methods? thanks
  9. ulefone, built very strong (average phones last 8 months, ulephone 1.5 years min ) now thinking nokia xr20
  10. My 2 boys Both T173 reverse drive and chipped to 220hp. one is fitted with reinforced pto, ( 1000rpm only) mulcher burns standard clutch in less than a day
  11. the welding is just hard facing , i do it on all area's where i see wear. the knive holder is indeed craced due to it being smashed against the counterblade
  12. Anvil was ok , so new bearings and bearinghousing?
  13. ill post some pics , it seems to be flywheel that moves forward for about 0.5cm
  14. My schliesing keeps breaking knives, when i feed a large piece of wood ( 6" or ca 16cm) the blade gets pulled forward and grabs/ smashes the counterknife. Never happend before , now 2 times in a row, bearings should be ok ( replaced 100 h ago) No wobble on the flywheel. distance between knives an counterknives aprox 2-3mm last time the kniveholder sheard a bit of. anny tips / ideas? thanks
  15. i have found my old airstreams more dureable , my last 2 pairs didnt last that long. Seems like quality went down. Anyone else has this?
  16. bump , hyundai cr 6-9 here not looking for FAE , that price was ridiculous £10.600 ex vat we have a large fixed tooth serrat FX6 but for the smaller jobs looking for a flail , (cleaning sites after chipping) what is recomended?
  17. experimented a bit last week, seems like the valve block is restricting the oil flow a lot , when used direct the tracs have a lot more power an it drives way faster. im thinking the valveblock is out of proportion to the oil flow, bigger block costs around €2500 though
  18. cant speak for the 56, but the 50 vs 75 is a world of diffirence! almost 2 times as fast. not happy with the track gear though, it is the same as the 50 , its is seriously underpowerd. one of these days will put other base below it , lager assymetrical tracs ,longer tracs, stronger drivetrain motors and 10 cm more groundclaerence. also engine is not rated to work on steep slopes when the machine is worn out ill look into a lighter mahine for the smaller jobs and for larger jobs id go with a system that enables working on slopes, fast swappeble attachements ( stumpgrinder, smal forestry mulcher, winch) something like the pfanzelt moritz but with more HP. Moritz price is outrageous though. bernard
  19. Also never sheared a bolt of, Just use 8.8 one's. On predator 75. Its all in the proper mounting and torquing. Well a lot of broken of tips and execcisive waer on some teeth. Last 3 changes welded some abrasive site on Them winch seems tot help.
