My chainsaw repairer says "NO!" He's got a rebuild of the same saw and won't touch them from experience. Go Stihl, go sh Stihl or buy twice! Tim

Can anyone give me a rough idea in what conditions you would use the Kombi FH 135 head please? I can't make my mind up from it's name and description. It's not a hedge cutter, it's described as a detailed grass and weed cutter and called a scrub cutter (which in my mind is what you use a brushcutter for ) Cheers Tim KM-FH 135° - KombiTool - Scrub cutter 135° adjustable

Sounds ideal then. I've gor a Fourtrak jeep so am going to build a covered area in the boot to slide all the bits in and stop them having other kit sat directly on top of them. It'll keep them covered from prying eyes as well. I had an expensive mistake bending a hedgecutter bar and cutters which borked them. Not a problem on a Kombi system as they only use short cutters.

I've got an older Stihl. KM85 I think with hedge cutter head, strimmer/brushcutter and pole saw. It's one of my most used pieces of kit. The blower is fab as well but I don't own one, just used one. It starts like a dream, works well and packs down so it's easy to transport. Highly recommended. Tim

I'll be popping in. Friday on my tod and Sunday with the family (weekend tickets ) It's only 3-4 miles away so would be rude not to! I need a new saw for the winter so will be keen for a bargain

Stay out of splatter distance!

Stihl Blade Adapter kit 6pc include Rider Plate, Washer, And Lock nut, | eBay This is exactly what I need. Anyone help? MR FRJones??

Afternoon all, Some lovely person relieved me of my ammo/spares box on a job recently and it had my brushcutter bolts/washers in to convert my Kombi strimmer to a bruscutter by removing the strimmer head. Can someone enlighted me as to what I need to order to get back up and running please? From memory it was a nut and two funky washers. I've done a few searches online but can't find what I'm after and I refuse to use my local supplier as they tried charging £7 for two chainsaw bar nuts the other day:thumbdown: I've still got the brushcutter blade. Cheers Tim

Also consider waste disposal cost. I've got a multi chip mower for regular clients which saves taking away the cuttings. Not everyone likes it but it does a good job IMHO.

I'm impressed! Top work and a professional finish.

I picked one up and it looks like a nice bit of kit for 20 sheets. Not sure on the disc. The spec sheet says 104mm which has me confused. Tim

All bruised in the head now! Thanks for the helpfull advice/experiences.

I'll be after a new saw towards the end of the year and am a Stihl fan as that's what I trained on and that's what I've used since. It'll be used mainly for logging, coppicing, scrub clearance and very rarely a bit of felling. Have Stihl sorted out the issues with the bearings/clutch yet on the MS261? If not is the MS271 worth a look? A more agricultural saw by all accounts but is it more reliable? Bigger chain and slightly less power from what I can tell but is there more to it than that?? I know half of you lot will just say "buy a Husky 550" but try and stay on topic if you can Cheers Tim

Sent you a pm.

I've mailed you. Cheers Tim

Popped down today for a gander. Bags of room for a good sized composted tucked away. Will suggest it. More shrubs than I was told about and also a small front garden to stay on top of. Need to try the ride on as well as it's sat outside looking a bit sorry for itself. It's never easy! Cheers for the help so far. Tim 36'' cut. Oo er, that's a biggun!

The mowers a ride on so I was assuming it would be a lot quicker that that. It's a regualr shape as well so nothing technical, just back and forth

Morning, I've been asked by a resi client of mine to quote to look after a pub garden where he's taken over as manager. I'm a veg gardener that does mainly private work on and ad hoc arrangement albeit I've got reg. clients as well. The gardens approx an acre and mainly grass with a few shrubs around the border. The grass needs keep trim as it's well used in the summer months by families. I'm thinking a visit once a week to cut the grass. Is that enough? Anyone on here look after playgrounds/church yards and care to help me out?? I'm guessing the edges will need strimming as well. The shrubs are easier as it will be "as and when" they need something doing. They've got a ride on mower that I can use if I want (seems silly not to) but I will need to remove the clippings, supply fuel, use my tools (strimmer) I was thinking of an hourly rate plus fuel. Then I need to factor in paying to get rid of the clippings as I don't have anywhere to loose them (I know, it's trade waste Whatdoyarecon? Cheers Tim

Thanks. Have contacted them. Kent is do'able. Cheers Tim

Evening, Is it possible to do a PA1 course on it's own? I only need to be able to treat stumps with a brush and can't afford to fork out for the PA6 as well. If so, anyone recommend a good, affordable lace to do it down South? Cheers Tim

They've got a lot of poor/damaged trees at Heligan. Made him jump ) Nice place to visit though. Tim

Mmm, I COULD be a groundie for that if you get stuck. Own saws, PPE, CS30-31, common sense, self employed, etc. I groundie for a tree surgeon in East Sussex when he needs help or I bring him work. I'll PM you. Tim

Shane - you are having a laugh I hope. I'd rather look cut up than do that. Hi Flex? will go take a look.
