I will do. I got it off and mate who wasn't keen on it. I thought I better have a go with one as it's getting CE marked and I don't like selling stuff I haven't used. The top top cams look very thin even though it says 11-13mm rope, they look like they would better suited to 10mm.

Just got hold of this over the last couple of days. Not had chance to use it yet. Should be interesting
-
If you want to buy a blower look at the one that takes the Stihl 500s batteries. If you buy a battery with the machine you get a free battery. I think it's the BGA300
-
They do indeed but, it doesn't seem to fit other manufacturers bars very well. Same with the 1/4 1.1
-
Very true, but as the saw that is in the picture looks like a MS182 or MS212, I thought it would be a good tip as they have an inboard clutch
-
When doing stuff like that, it can be handy to have a spare bar and chain. Quick swap and get going again too release the trapped bar

Bulk Arb Waste wanted - can collect but how to find

I'm guessing your listed on the tip site thing on here, also have a look at Greenline Arb app. Similar sort of thing and seems to work for people I've spoken to in south of the country -
1/4 1.3 is what Husqvarna use on their polesaws and the T525. The Oregon chain code is 25AP.
-
I'll be honest and say I've only used 1/4 pitch on the MSA200 and the Echo. The Echo was running 1/4 1.3mm at the time so not a fair comparison. The chain was great on the MSA200, although fiddly to sharpen
-
Not sure if it's been mentioned but, the MSA220 now comes with the 3/8 1.1mm full chisel now and it rips through wood for it's size. I've put the same chain on my 200T and it's a great upgrade 👌
-
Definitely bigger than the Akimbo. I'm not a fan of that if I'm honest, let's see what the Mk2 Akimbo brings. As for the Throttle I've been told it's better than the Akimbo by my American friends who've be lucky enough to have a good climb on it
-
Same. Had it with with the 592 and not bothering with pre orders
-
They say October, but I'm not holding my breath
-
I've been told today that it was going to be July for this over here. I like the look of it. Just hope it has a better lifespan on the metal work as 7 years isn't enough. I'm liking the look of the Buckingham Throttle which is getting put through it's CE testing. Hopefully getting to borrow a non CE one in the next few weeks.

That I can believe is true, but what do you do when your out in the field so to speak? Carry a shed load of chains or give it a quick sharpen every couple of tanks. If you keep on top of it, it doesn't take up that much time
