You'd be surprised how much you'd use the 90cc saw, it wouldn't be any less use than a 70cc saw, as I suggested get an older one with a manual pump, then on the odd occasion where you have a big tree to mill you can run a big bar with no problems, there are plenty on eBay, with 051's fetching £300 or less, if you buy a new 372/441 you're looking at paying best part of £700 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Told ya! You stihl blokes! Always trying to flog the bigger saw. 😣 Have you ran a 362 dan? All things said and done, jnoon has a 362, ask his opinion on that, but not on the 560, his was a Friday special! You've heard enough on the 560 for a verdict on that, anyone who says different had a Friday saw (3 people IIRC) or haven't run the saw... 😒 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

You seem to be on here a fair bit troll, prefer the European arbs more now? Did you say whether the clutch of the 562 was the larger rim type to fit a 9t, or is it the small size that most 60cc and below saws have? I would be interested in what you do to mod the saw pete, do you port them, or just tweak slightly? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I would recommend a 390/660 minimum for that size bar, but ideally for the size of wood you might want a saw with an additional manual oil pump, such as an 050/1, 070/090, 075/6, 3120, 395 or 880 The older saws with the manual pumps can be picked up fairly cheap so you may be better off with with one of those Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I've seen huge 6'+ dia sycamores, it's not the years they live that kills them, it's terminal size Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

What's your biggest saw? Small gob then bore in and cut back, when the tree pops, pull the saw and bloody run Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

He's after a 60cc, horses for courses and all that, you wouldn't use an 880 for ringing up 15" logs... Unless you're jon Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I will if he can do a deal at the right price, and wait till after winter Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Bat surveyor licences are a LOT harder to obtain though, and cost a lot more, whereas stem injection costs very little, requiring PA1/6 to apply, and the equipment is a damn lot cheaper too Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

What did you do to it pete? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yeah, the work HT131 is crap, my HT75 (a proper 2r) is awesome, the BR500 isn't good either being a 4-mix, the hi-lifts are good, my local dealer sells the husky ones now, which have rounded edges, prefer stihl for that Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Probably the baffle plate, derestricting air flow, allowing more flow Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

They only make/made a handful of good saws, and I own 3 off that list, the new stuff is a ghost of what it was, and the lighter is Chinese, as I believe smoking merchandise is no longer allowed, which is a pity, could add fun to the chainsaw merchandise Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I wouldn't bypass the governor on mine, it's an OLD contra s crank, don't wanna break it, big end bearings are like rocking horse sh.. to get hold of, plus 7-8k rpm is enough Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

The 562 run STD rim fitting as opposed to the small then I'm guessing? That will be very interesting as the saw on 8t is insanely fast, 9t would be fun, upping the speed to around 27-28 m/s Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yes, these big old stihls are powerhouses but have a very low rpm range, when I leaned out my 090 all it did was cut out in the cut, they don't scream like a modern saw! The saw should roar, not sound like a high pitched scream, if you watch some videos of that saw on YouTube, and then aim for a lower pitch than the videos (all to do with microphones here) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Nah, on AS, not a member of that saw forum, yet... Basically, as part of the 5 series XP saws, I would expect the new front-to-back transfers and crank stuffers, and spring not rubber AV mounts, all of which the saw lacks, as an ms241 competitor, stihl beats it. The saw is slower than the last 40cc husky pro saw too, the 242xp, from the data I have, was 15.5k rpm, this is 14k IMO the only benefit I can see is the removable transfer cover, to port it easier, trying to match the 242 speeds (maybe that IS what husky had in mind with the transfer covers on these saws), also I noticed on the ipl it has a piston pump!

I've already voiced my opinion on what it lacks, but no, we won't be having it here from what I've heard Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Try richening the H a little, I've found some saws drop the revs if set lean Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Those black flies are a kind of non-biting midge, similar to the st. Marks fly, to get rid of those, deep scarification on the lawn is needed Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I'd hurry and fix the 260, or get a husky, get rid of the awful 261, it amazes me a company can produce such poor saws to replace their most sold models, (201/261/362 being so poor in comparison) Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

You are correct, and if you're gonna use a winch, why not just use the endless slings rather than rope? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
