To be fair though, TCD, if I was asking which topper, Stihl or husky, and you pipe up with echo or dolmar, your opinion is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. Context! Why?! Like for like the smaller pro range huskys are better! (50-60cc) Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

He reads it, he just ignores it and continues with his own agenda. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

There's a few cheap chink crank cases on eBay. I don't suppose any of you have noticed the Mg stamp in a hexagon on the metal parts of these saws? They have quite a high % of magnesium in the alloy, if they were more ally, the saw would way considerably more for it's size Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I think she just likes to kick the hornets nest every so often Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

So really you're asking what's better first or second gen husky Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

All that's new is they've added m-tronic, advanced the timing slightly and fiddled with the port timings a little bit, just like the 201. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about selling off woodland, the footpaths are there already, usually as a right of way, and the CROW act stops them from being blocked off. Landowners have it in their interest to manage the woodland. It helps increase the price of timber too. A clear fell requires a felling licence, which can stipulate replanting, so I don't think people should worry about woodlands being wiped out either Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Not unless I lean quite substantially, the saw has the power to handle it Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I said it was a wood eater, I don't cut much soft, it's usually oak or thorn Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

To be fair matty, the question was posed on why he was a vegetablist by another, he then got on his high horse about it. And the problem is, is that they ram their beliefs down your throat. I've already had the fallout of such ideas, as many of our running dogs were no longer viable to keep, the ground opposite my home (which was prime hare habitat) was ploughed up for crops (as coursers no longer paid a fare and carried out management). Somebody tell me where the ethics were in the choice to stop the management of a native game species? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I would guess his morals stop at killing and eating, as he is a cutter like the rest of us, so partakes in the destruction of habitat and ecology. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yes, just not on auto tune carbs Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

The auto tune plug-in is damn expensive, £400ish last time I priced it up, although the pressure/vac tester is inexcusable Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

The 150 as it is handles deadwood and large stuff better than any other chipper I've seen of similar size, on the other hand, ramming it full of thorn brash is a brilliant way to test it! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
-
I'd have liked the chipper if it had the usual fold out hopper, but it had a trumpet-like hopper and the bottom bar was above the lowest part of the chute, so, as it was utilities and invariably involves knobbly, repruned branches, they hooked the bar, stopped the feed and slowed the whole process down. Had it have been similar to a tracked 190, I would have loved it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

And if it isn't x-torq, stick the 375K engine on instead to get a 75cc saw! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

It all depends on the experience with the machine, I used a TW150VTR last week and thought it was the biggest piece of scrap I'd ever had the misfortune of using, and I've used a bearcat! The 150 was good for what it was designed for, chipping small amounts of brash from domestic tree surgery. Bigger outfits do bigger work, which requires a bigger chipper, not a chipper designed for chipping a couple of branches from mrs miggins' silver birch that she had reduced Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

That would be a 365/372xp with a 375K C&P Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Maybe, but Jensen hydrostatic feed rollers are a pita! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

You need to find out why it seized now, so check the plug colour, fuel lines, impulse line, crank seals, decomp valve, carb settings and check the internals Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Oh yes, forgot to mention, it has larger, reversible blades too! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yes, a ported 385/390 is the sh!t! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

+1, bigger saw, more versatility, it'll run bigger bars with ease Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
-
From sources I've heard that the new model is now called the tw230, due to the 230x160 (or 170) feed opening, the hopper is much larger for thorn and connies. It has the same power and through-put as the tw190, all whilst being under 750kg Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Bolt off, bolt on, easy, just watch out for the stop switch Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
