First saw of my own was a Jonsered 70E I think ? Anyway it was a bitch to start and got binned for a Stihl 038 Mag , it was good but heavy .
-
Looks great , might do a similar mod on my old L200
-
254 then 365 special and 281 for the bigger stuff .
-
Tried Skin So Soft for midges , didn't work !!
-
Worst day for ages here , never let up from morning till now , soaked to the ar#e and fed up . I feel a drink coming on .
-
I had this with mine , air filter looked fine but was u/s , try it with the filter out .
-
We have the same problem , 661 skeleton spikes look good and I've been told they fit .
-
We scrapped two 261's due to this probem , wouldn't put my hard earned cash out on one again .
-
461 is a fine saw and will run a 25" bar , our's are usually on 20" and that suits them well . If you want to run anything bigger than a 25" I would go for a 660/661 or a husky 395 , all capable saws . A selection of bars is a must in my opinion.
-
We had no end of bother with our 261's . Got two Echo 620's now , a bit heavier but reliable unlike the 261's
-
As said good firewood but rots if left outside uncovered , we sell a fair bit of it from roadside clearance work .

If yer missus let's you !!

Whats the compromise with remapping or chipping a truck?
KGBFINGAR replied to Woodworks's topic in Arb-Trucks
We got our Transit tipper mapped a few years back , started getting the engine light coming on and going into limp . Fault was always fuel pressure too high boost pressure too high , returned it to standard and the faults never returned , it actually used more fuel than standard mapping too . -
We have a 63 plate hilux , you can't beat them for reliability . D Max drives well but by mates one needs fuel filters every couple of months and he's now getting dpf issues and it's a 15 plate !!
-
We had oil pump problems with the 441 we had but never on the 461's , dunno if we have high output pumps or not ? The 461's are the saws we all fight to grab first .
-
I remember seeing a works Metro 6R4 years ago , that noise was awesome .
-
We had an early 441 and it was a good saw , if a bit squishy , sold it a bought a new one and had nothing but trouble with it . Bought a 461 to replace it and it has been fantastic , one of the boys that works with me swears by 441's I guess I was just unlucky !
-
Looks like an old 621 I used to use .
-
Go genuine if you can , I'm sure prices have come down a fair bit .
-
Seriously , be very careful buying one . They are great wee vans but zero crash protection , one of my guys was hit by an Audi A4 eight weeks ago , five weeks in hospital !! Leg broken in four places ,pelvis , sternum , shoulder and wrist . He was stopped and the Audi slid into him on snow , he recons the Suzukii is about as tough as a carboard box !!

Stealing a mans livelihood is as low as it gets .
-
Nice , they look good with the wrap .
-
My brother left his 2511 in his pick up I was servicing for him , so I took the saw for a wee test on some branches I wanted cut out of the way , what a weapon that little saw is .
