  1. May I ask how you got to 180.00? I am not writing to say that's bad or good, however, only you know the site. So please write down for me how you came to 180 and be honest. Then we may be able to help. After all a piece of string is so long right....
  2. Clark Forest cut n climb:thumbup:

    Over thinking

    yes its pants, I have gone from 3.45-4am wake ups to 5am now so thats progress I suppose...
  4. :001_smile:Cheers chaps
  5. Cheers Arborclimber, I too was eyeing up the hedge trimmer and polesaw. I cant make my mind up wether the hedge trimmer is hard/up to the relentless work as it seems a bit plastic flimsy compared to what ive been used to-81R and the polesaw with that big wide motor ontop, can it get to where you want to put it in the canopy? It does look a great piece of kit in the flesh though
  6. Nick, Im looking into the same thing. I came across festoon lighting LEDs should be good on a truck inverter with defender floor lamps maybe? will let you know when up and running. All the best
  7. Hi Yvonne, Would it be possible to make a large segment at the top of the inner leg with a stretch material as waterproof trousers have always been so rigid and difficult to keep in the right place so you don't split the seems? (Have big backside and don't want to put it through them) lol
  8. here it is! better earn some money now......
  9. Decided to go with the bread knife as ergonomically, for me, the bar isn't weighted towards my legs, jabbing away at my trousers. Narrow bar, hope fully a little finer in the cutting, only time will tell:thumbup1:
  10. Just thought I would share this with you and was wondering if anyone has had "The" right service by good, old fashioned nice folk! Just put a small order Rob D way for bar and chain and came off the phone thinking, I will be dealing with him for a long time to come! Like my local D.C.Burgoynes who help with machinery and all things mechanical, Clark Forest HB FR Jones running ragged at the APF but still get it right. I think its worth telling everyone when there is a great company, working with us here on Arbtalk, so to that end does anyone else have someone to shout about for either price, good service, both??

  12. Ive been told too that importing from usa, that my local dealer wont touch them. Sights different specs, parts...
  13. cut and climb jacket seems v good. Only had it since the APF so not too long but first impressions seem it to be tough-fighting, climbing through conifer- snag resistant and it does well when partially trapped in the landy door...
  14. Hi, Ive only 3 years experience to date but I think the ms201t ive got is fab. When I bought it dcburgoynes said that it takes 70 tank fulls before its run in. They said that, that info was straight from stihl. I bet no one has been shouting that from the roof tops. My good buddy who climbs with me has been climbing for approx. 18 years and hes said that mines a goodn' . He has just bought a 540 xp and to be honest it keeps breaking, to the point that hes going to buy a stihl if it happens again! I use mine for take downs as it has the power to get through and for tose pesky conifers I use a t435 as its much lighter. My mate did say that the 540 has the edge on power and were it not for the niggling spring at the rear, fueling probs then happy days. You pays your dosh....
  15. Hi , Has anyone got anything to say about the rear handle battery op saw? I want to use a saw next to my cs100. Seen a few you tube vids and was wondering if its worth it or get a 440e, its handy to have a saw next to my chipper. I would appreciate your opinions.

    Cs100

    hi, global are near the Maypole, just off the A435 heading towards Kings Heath. Hope that helps, its not too far I suppose. Speak to Andy, nice chap. Good Luck
  17. Stunning. You would have loved the apf carving section, I think youd be right up there too
  18. I put cooper st max on my landy 6 weeks ago and they still have the rubber bits sticking outon the edges!

    ms 201 rear handle

    Hi Spud, its in the stihl catalogue, I may have the code wrong but I mean the rear handled 201. Incidentally at the APF today Listers I think it was had the 339 xp for £399! I think that might have been discon but a good price do you think?

    ms 201 rear handle

    Thanks arboriculturist I used an old one a while ago, cutting willow whips. It was fab to be able twist and flick the bar around and just got me thinking... with v little bulk too
  21. Hi Has anyone chosen one of these specifically for the lack of weight, for snedding up on the deck, use near the chipper, interchangeable parts with your 201t? Thanks in advance for your thoughts
  22. like that, all we need now is a belt to drive the back wheels and a brake on the front...
  23. I have a vertex, strong good lid, but the alo versa on my list at the apf, reason being im a sweaty old beggar and with the bigger vent I am hoping this will help lesson the drip...
  24. I run my 576 on a 24" bar, flies through, I do moan about the weight of it after dismantling using a 201 then maybe the 550 then the 576 to finish off on 18 and then a 24 bar for the stump. I used to have a 25" bar and chain but you had to be careful that the saw didn't bog when cutting through wet sappy bigger dimension woods. When I chipped a tooth off that on a piece of metal that had been absorbed I wondered if I could speed up the chain a little but still be able to deal with the stick stump, so I tried the 24 and it made the saw 10-15% better, less boggy and more feel, quicker cutting. Just the inch made all the difference, said the actress to the.... Anyway I don't think based on this that the 576 on a 28" would be great. Go for the 390 if your wanting big bar work and then buy smaller bars for it and use it for more than just the "biggest" work, watch it rip Good luck
