Cheers fellas they seem to have restocked since i last looked doesn't stop me having wet feet i'll try a bit more silicon on my current pair to see me thru the next week, and as for wearing the old ones all day been there done that and ain't it fun i've always wondered how much wetter i'd get in the water:thumbup1:
-
i need a new pair and they used to be sold by heaps of people online but nobody seems to have them any more in my size, have hunters stopped making them? or is there a secret government stock pile somewhere??

Pretty sure we've just found it in one of the sites i work on:thumbdown: just hoping my firewood site will be free of the damn fungus -
Lets hope they get them, failing that get some rabid dogs for the yard...

i've got both, the lewis winch will pull more and faster but i find the portable winch to be a lot more idiot proof, but don't drop it in a dyke running, t'was new engine time:thumbdown:
-
i've got 2 261's they're about to go to the back of the shed and never come out again i hope have got a 550 and 560 on order sure i'll fry the autotune in a week tho'
-
don't get a 261 whatever you do i've got 2, 1 is about 2 months old and has spend about a month back in the shop on warranty repairs, the other is 2 years old and after the warranty repairs it had runs okish but has just started bogging out in full bar width cuts....maybe a 362 mite be ok

Marsh Monkey replied to Marsh Monkey's topic in Chainsaws
thanks for all the advice gonna have a serious play tomorrow the workshop is free and i've stopped cutting reed with my saws....well for a week or so anyway... -
Have been waving the chainsaws (MS 200 and 261) around in a reed bed until i hit a tree, the last week or so and both my saws stop button isn't working, having to choke them to stop them is very tedious i can't see any obvious holes in the wire or loose connections but reckon i must have pulled something out but just can't fathom it out

at the risk of starting yet another stihl vs husky....
Marsh Monkey replied to Marsh Monkey's topic in General chat
don't i just know it it's whether they'll swop my 261.... -
gutted for you, it's all wrong, had a load of gear nicked recently, hope the insurance man coughs up for you...

Just got some new toys to replace those half inched a little while ago new FS410 brushcutter with a silly choke, i though well it's a bit odd but that'll be fine, took it out to drop a few trees in a reed bed about an hour into the job though that's funny wheres my choke knob, went to the dealer got a new one fitted it took it back out to work and 2 days later it drops off again, and don't get me started on my new 'there is no problem with this' MS 261 just as shoddy as my old one 2 weeks work, 1 broken clutch spring one shagged needle bearing and a very worn cir-clip mental note buy a husky next time....
