  1. Tested one on Wednesday whilst the rep was at work, put it through a ten inch round and was seriously impressed. Seems to cut quicker than the 160T also felt better to handle. Not had chance to use the T540i yet as there going out as soon as they come in
  2. It's grand to see you getting some good work in pal. Hope to catch up at some point
  3. Any numbers on the blades? I can check at work tomorrow for you if you want
  4. It's not knowing what chain they! Some folk don't even know what saw they have and it's not just the domestic users! It's going to be fun with the new bar/chain combo
  5. I agree completely. We stock loads of parts. We get saws like 028, 038, 009 etc. Just having to try and find space for all the new stuff thats been coming in isn't easy. Now Stihl have decided to change the bar and chain on the 261 so more stuff to stock. Those reels of chain can soon take up space
  6. Are there any numbers stamped on the drive links?
  7. What did you pay? Is it 1/4 bar?
  8. You should of brought it up in the shop today. I've had a couple a mk3 and 4. Usually service stuff, had to replace replace rear springs not long after I got them, but they had some miles on the clock and pretty cheap and easy to replace. Speak to the lads on the hilux owners club. There a good bunch. What they don't know isn't worth knowing
  9. I think the dealer would be robbing him if he sold fuel can and mixer with a battery saw
  10. I'd like to but don't think it will go down to well with the boss. Get quite a few saying it's not cutting and it's on backwards.
  11. I have to say it's shameful how people come to the shop with saw in hand asking us to change the chain over, sometimes they haven't even bought it from us
  12. That's because it's the hsa 26 now. They both take the AS2 battery
  13. I work at a dealership. Must of taken in 30 machines today. Everybody thinks seams to think it's a quick easy fix, but it's usually not. Not to mention the amount chain sharpening that come in. Must of done about 60 today
  14. All good cheers. Been left on my own this morning
  15. First day off from the shop today. We've now closed to public coming in, but telephone orders etc. Can either be delivered or picked up from outside the shop. I've only been at home because I'm just shop front
  16. I've started working at a main dealer for both sthil and husqvarna. The 550 definitely seems to sell better than the 261, even though I try my hardest to sell it
  17. They might of all fledged by time everyone can get back to it
  18. Worked today (Chainsaw shop) 90% of customers were domestic users. All leaning on the counter enjoying there day off. Had to keep asking them to stand back, some more than once even though there's a big sign telling them to. We only opened for our larger customers ( council/utilities etc) but yet they kept coming. Who knew chainsaws, hedge trimmers were essential goods!
  19. Your not the only one
  20. This is close to me 'Lorry load' of flytipping spotted at layby in Burnley WWW.LANCASHIRETELEGRAPH.CO.UK FLY-TIPPERS have dumped ‘lorry loads of bin bags’ at a lay-by in Burnley.

    Oops!

    It wasn't the nicest, just glad I didn't have to do it again

    Oops!

    Thankfully yes. I only replaced the seal six months ago!

    Oops!

    She used to make chains herself so she knows their fine
  24. If you can get Echo. The shop I work at became a dealer back end of last year and their selling well. As for climbing kit, just do some research on what the customer needs. No point doing the ticket if your not going to use it. One of the blokes at work knows just about as much as me about the kit, but has never climbed and I've climbed for 20 years. Knowledge can overcome the experience in some of the kit, especially with new kit coming on the market as it does. If you were thinking of tickets to have some sort of experience you'd have to chipper, climbing, rigging etc.

    Oops!

    Washing machine has been making some noise over the last few days, and couldn't work out what it was. Anyway found the culprit
