  1. Fair enough. I was just looking at the info I have on my phone. Probably would of looked more closely if on the laptop
  2. Yes
  3. From having a quick look at the parts diagram it isn't possible, as they don't list a 3/8 sprocket for the gear head.
  4. Mitre saw and stand. Only a cheap one, but meets my needs. Also some lego technic and some sorting/storage trays to keep my ever growing collection in.
  5. Yes, yes and yes. I will message you
  6. If you want one, I think I have a couple. Give me a pm in the morning and I'll double check

    Great service as per. My customer is super happy at the speed of delivery of this little beauty and associated Panther mill. Much appreciated

  8. I'm guessing your on about Richard with the chipper?
  9. I can't see why you wouldn't save it if you can, the price of the new equivalent is at least £1500. If it was me I'd get it done
  10. It just gets chucked on the compost heap. Job done
  11. Started hedge laying at about 12 at a local scout camp. Got the bug for trees etc. Started working and getting formal training at 16. Got climbing tickets at 18, and retired from arb work at 38. I now stand behind a counter flogging chainsaws and climbing gear, talking shite about jobs gone by. Generally complaining about how much my body aches now I've stopped climbing and getting fat. So retired life's not treating me to bad.
  12. From what I got told from one of the high ups at Husqvarna at the APF. The batteries contain a chip, and that's what they are waiting for. When the Stihl batteries came we got our pre season order in one go. We order these in November the previous year. Didn't get them till late September. Needless to say all the larger one's went within two weeks. I've got a feeling it will be the same when the husqvarna one come. Although we'll probably be getting 2 years of pre season order in one go
  13. You are lucky then having more than one sent. We've had one so far and that went within half an hour of coming in. In all truth we haven't had anyone put their name down on one as they aren't confident they'll arrive. On the upside we received some of the illusive T540iXP today. Still no batteries to sell with them though
  14. As far as I'm aware they do. With the SP33G you just need to file at 0 degrees down angle, and 10 degrees with the H30
  15. As Mark said they don't need much grease. It's literally just put some on your finger and smear it over the gears. Had them come in and they've been absolutely packed with grease, which they don't seem to like and wear the motor out. In my short time working at a repair shop, I've also seen over greasing on petrol models. All it does is throw the grease off the gears sending to the outside edge of the casing. If greasing at proper intervals, you don't need much more than a thumbnail size ball squeezed in
  16. Not that many to be honest, but there is a damn site more 550's than 572's about. Had a 572xp in recently and that got a new piston, just need the cylinder cleaned up and job was a goodan
  17. I'd save it if you can. There's quite a few 550's come through our shop for similar reasons, and it usually works out lot cheaper than a new saw.
  18. Let's hope so. It's had to of been atleast 3 and them not honouring the prices at time of order, then there’s the 5% rubbish and everything else. When I was climbing, if I couldn't do a job on the set date and then came back with an inflated price, I'd get told to F off. I don't how this is any different, apart from screwing dealers over whilst keeping themselves in good sted!
  19. We've had one delivered so far out of 10 from our pre season order last year and that was the just the XP never mind the XPG. Just put in this years pre season and didn't bother. Probably get them just after the Jan/February price rise, so they can get more money out of us dealers. @Mark_Skyland
  20. Older 261's ran .325 1.6 up till about 3 year back maybe less. They brought out the updated version with the new light 04 bar ( I think it's called that. ) using .325 1.3mm. It's been used on Husqvarna's for years usually on lower powered saws and probably for a good reason. So nothing new really.
  21. Have you by any chance got 1/4 1.3 bar instead of the 1.1? Easily done. The oil holes could well be different, but I can't say I've looked closely at the two together
  22. These look good for a land yard pulley. Two point's of attachment. Have a look. I'm looking forward to trying one At Height X Tree Punk PulleyOne P36B - Honey Brothers HONEYBROS.COM At Height X Tree Punk PulleyOne P36B from Honey Brothers. The largest equipment specialist in...
  23. I've got at least 4 on the shelf in 18" give us a message and I can give you a price in the morning.
  24. Oh whilst I'm at it, cheers for sending the 28" bar for a 560XP. It's going over to Norway and will be shown cutting snow for a tv programme.
  25. You just need to get the radio on and crack on. Did about 200 hundred Saturday. John at our place ( you've probably talked to him on the phone ) used to do them, but seems to leave it to me now. Longest part for is measuring and splitting
