If you like the 357 try a 560 ! -
Yep . Think you are right !

O.K. could be wrong .

Can't you see , He is holding a lhitS in his pic ? opps sorry , partially literate !

I think they make chains for " Carlton" and " Sarrp" But I don't know about a difference in quality . You sure he is not talking about pro chain against low kick back home owner stuff ?

What a brilliant tool !

Like the idea of being able to do the kindling on a separate ram but same machine .

Then get another new bearing, then get another new bearing , then get---------------------------

Thanks for all the ideas you guys . Firstly only put a price in not actually got it yet . Its in a back garden so no crane, forwarder , tractor etc . Think its going to be one of those mammoth wheel barrow jobs ! !

Pissing down . Sharpened every saw I got , air filters spotless . Pile of oily sawdust will make good fire liters . Tomorrow looks bad as well . Still got some grass to cut

Thanks for that Tom . The thing is they want it gone. Extraction in plankable lenghts will be tricky to say the least . Shame I know .

Hi all . Not sure were to post this so general chat it is . Just put in a price to take down a red wood . Its dead . No room to fell it from the ground but plenty of room to section down so that's all good . Not much brash to chip . The thing is at least of 8 feet diameter at the fat end . Seems there will be a mountain of wood . Its all got to go . Not had much to do with them before other than viewing in the arboretum in the back of West Dean collage near were I live . All I know is the bark is kinda spongy and soft . Will there be any use for the timber ? Planking, turning, burning ??? Opinions any one ?

I don't want to get into a SvH war , its been done to death . I have one Stihl , ms200t and its great . The rest of my saws are the big H . From a 346 ( spud tuned ) to 560, 372,390,395, and a 3120 . I can vouch for them all . I can't knock any Stihl ground saws as I don't have any . If you wan't a 560 go for it . Had problems with mine to begin but all sorted now . If poss get a 2012 model rather than an older 2011 saw . When/if you get one it suits 15" to 18" bars best . You have to set the auto tune . It tells you in the book . Not all dealers are aware of this ( mine wasn't) They are absolute flyers . I still get a grin on when using mine . Good luck what ever . -
Sorry to hear you are suffering Dave , not a lot of fun . I have a body full of aches and pains ( wifes horse kicked me just lately just to add to it ! ) As you rightly say a well sharpened chain can make up for any amount of cc deficiency . I am a Husqvarna man through and through ( save for my ms 200t ) but there are other saws out there that would fit your needs I am sure . I recently sold an Oleo-Mac which I bought as a stop gap whilst others were in the shop . Although it was a plastic engine case type saw i was quite surprised with its performance . It was also very light . good luck mate . Regards Andy .

What about redirecting the exhaust ? In otherwords design it better . A bit of muffler modification . Just a thought . -

Get a big Husky ! Simples . -
Second that !
-
Thats what a Husky 390 does . !
-
I would second what spud says as I have experience of both the saws he mentioned . Not had any dealings with a 236 but assuming its 36cc would seem a little weedy , perhaps ?

Husqvarna all day long matey ! opps here we go again !
