Earliest I've heard is September, but the easiest way to find out is to ring Stihl and ask if they have the IPL's yet
-
No, only in Germany currently
-
IF husky let them remember, husky owns the m-tronic
-
You would!

Dolmar is makita, it's just a different badge and colour. In regards to boots, an alternative option is spats, which are chainsaw protective covers for boots, assuming you wear actual boots and not riggers.
-
PPE suggestions aside, although nobody has mentioned a helmet?! If you're going to be doing smallish logs <14" a husky 135 or Stihl 211 (or whatever the dol/mak is called), next jump up is 50-60cc for up to 18" - husky 545 or 555, Stihl 291-391 (no!) or mak/dol equivalent, finally for big stuff there's the husky 365, beast of a machine, neither of the other two make an equivalent model for semi-pro afaik

Now you just need dog spikes and a chain catcher!
-
I did say many! That's one in several thousand
-
Don't think he's gonna find many mango tree experts on arbtalk! The closest we get is a few guys who know about apples and pears, usually the fermented kind...
-
Stihl is same gauge, .068, from the 261 to the 880.
-
090! No ifs, at 137cc, buy it, they're rare as hell and will hold at that value (or go up again)
-
Christ! The distance people will travel for a job! I'd go heavy reduction with a MEWP. Once you factor in fuel costs from Sheffield, you'll be a millionaire!
-
Usually the old Stihl disc cutters were assembled with full chainsaw parts and changed over in the factory, usually at most they removed the pinion gear
-
Out of interest, have you checked to see if the saw is oiling the chain?
-
Interesting
-
You can still buy it
-
Have you got the little metal deflector plate fitted?
-
The dividers are in the boot and elbow niko, nowt inside the carb! The carb bolts straight on, I just had to mod the filter elbow a little for clearance on the choke butterfly. The larger Venturi helps ported saws run bigger bars (I run 36") as it sucks less fuel in. To the OP, 3/8 8t will be the biggest sprocket you'll get without ordering a piltz rim off eBay - I know one company that does order a load in for their 390's, but the saws are otherwise un-modded.
-
As a note: chisel chain, whilst being more aggressive, requires less power as it only has a single point of cut (the tip), whereas semi or chamfer chisel cuts on a much larger area, requiring more power, thus causing more strain on a saw. To answer your 3rd question, the design is almost identical, the carb and electronics will be the only different parts. I have a 441 IPL that doesn't have m-tronic, the only difference I can see is the coil and carb. Finally, the carb resets every time the switch is put to initial startup.
-
The 372xpg is NLA in the UK, but if you email husky, they may bring it back.
-
I've had 60% of the value of a part added as import tax. That's happened more than once too!
-
And that is probably why the OP asked for a husky alternative! Import tax is a sting on certain parts!
-
Wrong thread! The jokes thread is a sticky on the general topic forum. The OP asked if husky did a similar carb for a similar saw, the answer is no, and thus an attempt to find a carb with suitable features as a replacement is being attempted to be quantified by the features of the original.
-
550 is small spline, it can't take standard spline. 3/8 on 8t is only available on standard spline.
-
You wouldn't!
