I run a 372 with a 24" bar and it copes ok . probably not quite enough grunt for all day use if you factor in time taken but for a couple of houres its fine . certainly won't hurt the saw .
-
If you get it all up together and running sweet your 353 will be the back up me thinks !
-
I tend to agree with spud on this one . I would feel restricted if I had to be next to a socket . There will be this one time when you can't get hold of your mates saw for what ever reason .
-
I have one on my pickup and it is a god send ! Get one !!!

I am a Husky man through and through , all my ground saws are the big H . but I have to admit the climbing saws to date have been pants . ( eagerly awaiting the much hyped , much delayed T 4--something ) If needs must then beggars can't be choosers I suppose. I would check out the one on fleabay that Martyn is suggesting . You should be able to save enough for a 200 in the 12 months . you never know you might like the £79 saw !

Back in the day the 254 was THEE forestry saw. light , flickable and powerful . kinda like the 560 is today . If it was a used in anger it could be a bit tiered by now but if its in goodish nick it would be worth keeping . Get it over to spud for a once over .

Chimney sweeping service as well as supplying logs
Stubby replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
Yea thats sweeping not fitting a stove ! -
Love it , love it ! 118 hair cuts !

Also I disagree somewhat with the " full chisel dulls quicker than semi " thing . Any chain that has dammage to the cutters , be it full or semi is useless . Once you start to force it you are wasting time energey and working the saw too hard. Just my take on it but I use full chisel all the time and do my best to keep it in wood and nothing else and sharpen up as soon as it needs it .

You need a " green grit " wheel for Tungsten carbide .

As suggested sounds like a well worn powermate rim . ( drive sprocket ). The tangs on the drive links of the chain locate in the slots of the powermate and the tie strap links roll accross the smooth ( once ) cylindrical surface as it rotates. If not replaced every now and then ( say every 3 chains ) the tie straps ware into the once smooth surface leaving an imprint. this makes that kinda noise . This also drops the chain speed slightly due to the reduced effective rolling radius of the rim sprocket and the added friction of the links " climbing out of the imprint they have made . All this waffle is the same as saying worn sprocket ! !

Before and after I got smashed to bit !

I had the same hot start problem with my 560 and Husqvarna technical said to change the plug to the next hotter one . This worked .
-
Its another Zomax-alike . Fake as f--k . Those boots/wellies are the most uncomfortable things I have ever worn . I bought some about 10 years ago , god knows why . Bloody awful things !
-
Seller has kept all his transactions " private " All the loosing bidders were the lucky ones . some poor mug has spent £312 on a £3.12p saw .
-
Was about to say the same as Alec . Its a ripping cut . You tend to get long strings rather than the chips you get when cross cutting . Sounds like your chain is dull if you get dust .
-
A bit extreem but if you want to save the innocent punters put in a silly bid to be sure you win it then refuse to pay stating that you later were advised it was a fake . There is no way of contacting the winning bidder untill the transaction is complete but if they pay with pay pal they can get a full refund on the grounds that the item is not " as described " Buit they will have to put a claim in and go through all the hassel .
-
I reported it yesterday as well . fleabay don't give one as long as they get their dosh . Done it soo many times . Contact seller and tell them you know its a fake . Some times they are inocent . Sometimes they even amend the listing to say " it might be a copy " but ebay don't care.
-
Its down . Chogged to about 3/4 of the way down . then felled about a 10 foot stretch then felled the remainder on to that . Not pretty to look at but it went were we aimed it . Phew .
-
Once you have sorted the assembly of the clutch components the simple way to tighten it is to run the saw up and snap the chain break on .
-
Don't mean to keep on but please learn how to sharpen . It will save you a lot of arse ache believe me . Good luck with your purchase what ever it be .
-
Oh yea , in a minuet someone is going to mention PPE and college oh I just did !
-
Ok. I don't think you are an idiot, far from it ! but get someone who knows what they are talking about to teach you how to sharpen up . A cheap B+Q saw that is razor sharp is worth more to you at that moment in time than the best pro saw if the pro saw is blunt .
-
I disagree ( in a friendly way ! ) I think a blunt chain is a blunt chain be it semi chis , micro chis or full . Once you get damage and loose the edge you are fighting it . I do think , however that full chisel cuts faster soooo get full chisel and keep it sharp !

Yep True
