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:

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??

<p>Hi Rob,</p>
<p>I am putting together a small order and when I went through to your website I saw the promo code box and was wondering if you would send me a code through please?<img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/blushing.gif.8ce76a19220ea9a62dc579ba96a38c2f.gif" alt=":blushing:" /><img src="<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.gif.7a0f8b614f45b8779b9dba9cfd28c239.gif" alt=":biggrin:" /></p>

Ive been told too that importing from usa, that my local dealer wont touch them. Sights different specs, parts...

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...

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....

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.
-
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
-
ok thanks chaps
-
Stunning. You would have loved the apf carving section, I think youd be right up there too
-
I put cooper st max on my landy 6 weeks ago and they still have the rubber bits sticking outon the edges!
-
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?
-
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
-
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
-
like that, all we need now is a belt to drive the back wheels and a brake on the front...
-
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...

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
-
Hi Cov Climber, I run a 576xp on a 24" and it flies! I did wonder a while ago though if a 372 on a 24 would have been good as its a wee bit lighter I think for lugging around all day good luck
-
thanks Wooded. I may have stumbled upon that a while ago, will check. I had a demo with the husky when it first appeared, then handled the 160 at one of the shows which felt good too. Just was wondering if anyone used the batteries in differing situations with different saws but thanks for the you tube idea
-
Dear All, Im getting the truck ready for a battery chainsaw, rear and top would be great to run together. I have read with interest some of your experiences with certain saws. I wondered if anyone has had any experience of using a battery top handle for a small dismantle, say and then cutting up on the deck with the same make of battery in the rear handle saw. So for eg using a stihl msa 160t then into a msa 200cbq? The Oregon rear handle saw looks fab value and my local dealer will do a good deal but I don't want 2 chargers, different batteries etc. I suppose if your using the husky combo you can pass the batteries easily to each other....?

I "ran" both, well to be honest, bought a 261vw, very proud of it and it did a fab job but for the problems all been written about in previous threads. So then I bought a 550xpg, off the back of using the 550xp. 550 xp is lighter, easier to move when on the power but by an enth of a margin. The xpg is fab for warming tire wet cold hands... now the 261 is a back up saw which rarely gets used. I use a 576 with small and large bars too. Hope this kinda helps

strap the cs 100 to the trailer, genius... why didn't I think of that, wheely that chipper lol

Dear all, looking for some light, slightly narrow boots for climbing and found these tangos from Drayer in Germany. Tree climbing boot tango® Vi - Drayer Online-Shop Has anyone used these fellas and thought something of them, indeed bought a pair here in the UK? Many thanks:thumbup1:
-
then theres the different axel weight restrictions, towball weight, chipper weight to think about and add too. how heavy is that? your gross payload is, as everyone says, minus all your tools and chaps! does the total push you over the magic 3500kg? Tacho time? Good luck!
