  1. I've decided on a 550xpg, can't justify the extra £100 for .7Kw
  2. Isn't that saying effectively 'don't turn big trees into pollards'? As for stubs, isn't that down to the usage and specie of the target? When I removed all growth of some willow pollards, the management was for ecological grounds, but other trees have been reductions, so have left knuckles, and on others I have left stubs, in some cases, over one foot of branch, so I would have thought really it would be down to the professional's discretion on how it would be ideally managed?
  3. But does the 560 give enough power to warrant the extra cash?
  4. Nice, somebody testing to destruction! Stuff it through some trees over guide bar length!
  5. Use a t536 from husqy, same chain, quiet, no fumes, and marginally cheaper, but not quite silky costs Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  6. Anyone used both? Preference? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. You ever done a 5 year re-pollard with a silky? I have! Much prefer a little saw Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  8. I know, and then the next question is heated handles or not? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  9. As I have had my saw robbed, I need a new one, but can't decide which to get. Any preference? How does each perform? Are they much faster than a 346? I will run on 15 regardless of the saw, but was wondering if the 560 is worth the extra £50-100, or if the 550 will blitz enough Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  10. It's size, you wouldn't use a 880 to fell a few small trees, why use a 200/201 for pruning small branches, they're better suited for dismantles and big branches rather than 2-6 inch twigs Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  11. The worst part is they took my helmet too! So can't climb and earn the money back! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    You still got the saw? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  13. Came out to my van today to find it had been broken into, took 2 saws a 338xpt with the letters CTS engraved into, don't have a serial number for it, and a husqy 346xp with ED sprayed in pink on the guide bar cover, will put serial number up when I find it. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    346xp problems

    I've never had a problem with mine, I've run mine on 50:1 petrol and aspen fuel, sounds like a carb problem, or as spud says an air leak Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  15. Buy husky! You won't regret it! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  16. Wouldn't a 660 DP muffler fit a 064? I thought the parts were interchangeable? Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

  18. If it helps, we cut the greens on the golf course yesterday, you can cut unless there is a frost or its too wet! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  19. Here's mine, nice rotten weeping willow And this is how deep I had cut in Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  20. Stuff paying them lot! It takes too long for them to sort out saws, I'm still waiting on a clutch cover! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  21. 3/8 small, the usual top handle stuff, 42 DL I think, and in reply to when it's due, next month is production, and April release... Apparently! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    560xp

    Knock bout £50-100 off what you paid Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  23. Oh, the 460 seemed faster
  24. Even though the 346 and 357 outcut the 260 and 360 all day long? And they even carried it over to the new ones!
  25. Strangely enough, the husqy bar would probably helped the saw, 20 inches on 3/8 husqy chain means the gauge is finer, sending more power to the end, but I am surprised it fit
