    How about a bush cutter with a circular blade. Wolter

    Behind the traffic cones is the chainsaw box. The sliding door is the 'lid'. By pressing the key twice I disconnect the locking mechanism and the door handles in and out. So kicking a window doesn't get you to the treats. And the chipper is probably to big to carry out through the window. Wolter

    Swapped my swb VW Transporter in for a swb Ford Transit Custom with two sliding doors. Wow, so much more room in the back. There's even a corner for the wee little chipper in there. Wolter

    That's really strange because I noticed the opposite. You didn't change over from Stihl to Oregon chains at the same time? Stihl chains are pre stretched, Oregon is not. How is your sprocket and nose wheel. New or worn. All I'm saying is that there really is no extra wear on your chains when using canola oil. Wolter

    Cooked or cold pressed. Ours is the cold pressed bought at the supermarket not the heated one that's olso used as 'diesel'. I once bought twenty liters of the hot pressed and thats really crap. Wolter

    On the Husqvarna 536 there is. With the cable on your computer you can see the runtime and standby. Battery runtime is highly underrated! When you use the saws only for pruning you can easily manage your work between coffee breaks. Going up again I throw in a new battery and when you bring the charger the not even flat one you took out is charged up in no time. Wolter

    Could you please be more specific as in what kind of oil you used? There's maybe 50 different kinds of "veggie" oil and there is only one you can use to perfectly lubricate your saws chain. Wolter

    That's not really interesting Treemoose. I don't know how many batteries are included in the set, but on my Husqys I change the batteries on every startup after a break. I do some takedowns with mine (what I shouldn't do!) and only than I sometimes have to change batteries during work. When you use the saw for what it was intended for (pruning) and you swap the batteries in the morning and after every break you never end up with a flat battery. Wolter

    Please SawTroll, do your fact checking. Check the weight on both saws per kw without bar and chain. And check the durability during testing. http://www.kwf-online.de/deutsch/pruef/pruefergebnisse/aagw/motorsaegen/5524_10.pdf http://www.kwf-online.de/deutsch/pruef/pruefergebnisse/aagw/motorsaegen/6384_12.pdf Of course my 5105 is heavier. There's a bigger bar on it because it has the power to move it and there are no parts falling off or engines that fail while on the job! Wolter

    I like the safety plate under the back handle and the chain brake system installed. 😂 Wolter

    Is the little E-ring, the spring ring on the clutch still in place? Wolter
  12. Treespotter
    I'll check that one tomorrow. Wolter

    Taken mine out of all of my saws. I can't tell you about any difference in power. If any, with a clean grid the difference is minimal. I just don't want my saws to clog up and I don't consider my work environment as highly flammable. 😉 Wolter

    Did you use the primer pump before or after 29 pulls?!? Wolter

    Help

    Is the bar fitted properly? I mean flush with the saw? Does the hole in the bar correspond with the oiling hole of the saw? Wolter

    Help

    What do you mean by pouring everywhere? Is it pouring out from parts other than the hole where it should pour out from. Was the correct bar and chain installed? It's a big saw that 'houses' big bars and chains. Big saws use lots of oil to lube those long bars. Wolter

    Mine was a Husqvarna 166. At that time the best forest saw. Wolter

    I would say it's the decade of your first contact with a chainsaw. Wolter
  19. Treespotter
    I also have the 5105. 😉 Oh and two Husqy toppers, the 540 and 536LiXP also great saws. Wolter
  20. Treespotter
    Yup! That could be right in my case. 5+ Years ago I started turning my back on the big S because there were better fish swimming in the chainsaw pond. Wolter
  21. Treespotter
    Two of the five I've used today. Wolter
  22. Treespotter
    How's this. 😉 Wolter
  23. Treespotter
    I'll get you one tomorrow. 😉 Wolter

    I think you're asking something impossible. If you want to cut up sizable pieces like that it's either. Buy your own or hire someone with a saw and bar like you requested. I would be very reluctant to give my stuff to be used by someone else knowing it's going to be returned as broken goods. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Arbtalk mobile app
