Às far as I know it should be when you get to the yard and when you leave said yard at the end of the day. It's not your problem that the job is 2 hours away. You've turned in at the stated time. You should be paid

Harness wise have a look at the Courant Koala. I find it comfortable and light. It's also a good price for a harness at the moment. As for the Petzl, you don't need to spend the extra money on the srt. If you fancy using an srt system the standard one will work fine.

I use Hexa on my MS441 with 25" bar and I can't fault it. Had just short of 2 chains from 1 file which is a bonus. As said prefers clean wood but, so does standard RS chain.
-
That might be because it's the same weekend as the southern comp. Let us know when it's rescheduled for and I might be able to get a few to come
-
That is a shame they were great for Timberwolf parts. As for blades I used Saturn. Had a few sets of their own and didn't have a problem. Usually sent five sets at a time for sharpening and came back grand
-
I would probably fail this under a loler examination and put it down to the rivets loosening. So I wouldn't use it, but I haven't seen it in front of me. Hard to say from a video

Hiring a Ranger at Northern Roots, Oldham

Hello. Hope you get some interest. See you next time your in the shop -
If you go down the stihl route as said specify the 57 link chain. You can get a roller nose bar at 10" which uses the same sugihara chain that comes as standard on the 2511. Stihl chain doesn't seem to run on it though

Morning all.
-
My advice is get a second set and send the original one's of to somewhere. Spectrum Plant could be an option 👍
-
Are you able to clean up the cylinder? Then you might just need a piston
-
I've not seen that video. And I haven't seen anything in the manual about it. It's just a learning curve really. Thanks for the info 👍
-
I stand corrected I'm just slowly going through the manual to better understand the harness so I can give the best advice to customers. They go through the excess tail of the strap. Min distance of 40mm from the buckles.
-
It's got these on it to firm fix the strap. Just screw to the webbing behind and job done. You could use something hot to seal the hole.

Taken from the owners manual 🤫 don't tell the Mrs

Unfortunately that's the first sensible thing he's said. If using most saws today you would need class 3 trousers and boots. The MSA 300 runs at 30m/s flat out! We'll be back to wearing quilts on our legs again if HSE get involved
-
Agreed, people think these saws are still made like they were in the 80's/90's. They also think they can be rebuilt on a shoe string. Had some of the first 500i that haven't been a problem. The 2 year old one's are coming back with problem's, but I think it's the users more than the saw
-
If your looking at a ms181 you might a good deal as they've been discontinued and replaced with the ms182. Some places might be getting rid of stock to replace with new. I used the new version this week and it was a little ripper. Pulled a 16" chain with no problem. Wouldn't do that with a 181
-
Side by side you can tell the difference. As for the bridge you can remove it and then it's like the bridge on the treemotion evo. I believe there's another version coming without the bridge when they've got settled with the production of the max. I had a sit in the demo model they brought in to show me and compared it with with my treemotion pro. Initial thoughts were very comfy and supportive.
-
What's your thoughts on it? I know it's not cheap. I've sat in one, and it felt very comfy. Just want views on it. I think the bridge alone would be £150! I think it's a good harness all in all, but time will tell.
-
The echo saws are a lot better than they used to be. Can you get the CS390sx?
-
The echo will come out cheapest without a doubt and capable. You can get the CS 362 wes which is the 2511 bigger brother. As said the 4310 is good. As for the big brands, it's to early to say about 540xp over the MS201C-M. It is £100 cheaper though.
-
Think we've had one for a main bearing failure, maybe two. Most of them come in for the clutch, I personally think it should be bigger. Maybe from the 661. Had some of them come in where it had blown through the drum (clutch) and knackered the crankcase. The bearing in question is about £14. So not much if you can do it yourself. Just need to make the shaft isn't worn

Standard 3/16 - 4.8mm files for those
-
I agree with the Vallorbe files, far better than Oregon. I think they've been through a better hardening process, not much difference in price either
