At £79.99 it's going to attract the wrong type of user in my opinion. If chainsaws were a minimum of say £300, it would put a lot off. I paid £300 for a stihl, about the same on PPE, and then went on a chainsaw course. I'm only a part time user for firewood prep but treat the saw with utmost respect. I think long and hard before starting the engine and the course taught me things I would have only picked up the hard way. I've seen people who should know better, gardeners etc, using chainsaws without a hint of PPE and it gives me the shivers!

Same with Safari on Apple IPhone, but ok with Google which Ive downloaded from the Apple store on my IPad.

Just to add, I've got an MS211 with 16" bar, but find it slightly underpowered for my needs, I'd recommend something more powerful.

Sure you can buy cheaper than that, think I paid £290 6 months ago from TH Power Products, Burscough

Ok on a roll here, checked a previous thread on the forum and see two things that maybe happening with 'normal' unleaded / oil mix: "fuel going stale" and "oil breaking down". But this Aspen stuff (if you can pick it up conveniently) is pretty expensive stuff, might be better for me to mix normal petrol and oil as I need it. At least the oil won't break down if I'm mixing just before use, and even if the fuel deteriorates it can't damage the 2 stroke engine, can it?
-
Just to add to my previous post, can someone please clarify for me, is it the unleaded fuel that deteriorates or is it the oil - if it's the fuel how does this cause 2 stroke engines to become knackered. I can understand it if it's the oil that's deteriorating, and what/how does Aspen survive better? Many thanks in advance.

Are they effective ? Out of interest, how do you calculate 15 ton for one of these?

What make is it Arbor8, and what diameter will it deal? Sounds good, can't go wrong at £89.88 and still giving service after 3 years.

Looks like the Scheppach OX T500, but 100 cheaper, is it rebadged by Axminster or a chinky copy I wonder. Balfor AV5 Looks good, with an exposed external ram, but twice the target price at least. Can be used either horizontal or vertical and has a decent oil capacity.

Thanks, will do

For domestic use. Looking at a scheppach ox t500 and ox t700. Has anyone experienced either. The 500 has a 5 ton rating and 700 a 7 ton rating. In retail price the 700 is nearly twice the price. Also just within budget is the Ballario and Forestello AV5. Can anyone give me advice on what to purchase (I don't own or have the use of a tractor). Thanks

Hi, I'm a new member, although not in any shape or form a professional, I'm here to listen and to get advice from those who know better. Having a wood burner I'm interested in the conversion of trees to logs. Have myself a chainsaw, PPE and have been on a course to learn how to use it with safety in mind. Now looking at a log splitter and appropriate advice.
