Yes, plenty light enough Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

The 545 would suit as a small felling and limbing saw, it has the same power as my 346xp had, and I felled a lot of trees with that, the 365 is a much bigger saw for pulling much bigger bars and is suited for 18+" stuff. It's heavy but has a lot of grunt! The choice is yours, do you plan on doing tons of larger trees? Or will the 545 suit you better? Or meet in the middle and get a 555 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yeah, but I'm young, so my hands are fine right now, I'll worry about vibes when I'm old and my hands fall off Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

And once they're done, think I may send you the 346, was tempted to send the 254, but then I realised that porting the saw would give more power to the heated handles, and I don't fancy bursting into flames just yet Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I figured at £50 a saw it was worth the gamble, some need parts, but the 346 just looks like it needs a new chain, the 254 needs a clutch cover, fuel cap, bar and chain, whilst the 371 needs a lot of parts Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

HT lead could be loose or broken, had that happen before, magnets may have lost some polarity strength Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Check eBay then bud, wisecobandit has just slapped a shite load of 051 parts on there Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

No, it's OEM, it's also available on the 2260, just not in Europe! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I generally find the e-carbs great, tune themselves and generally hassle free, but I have often worked on saws running so rich that the muffler is usually blocked in 6 months, so I do have a bit of bias Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App -
I have had the chance to pick up some old saws and would like your opinions please 346xp (oe) 371xp 254xpg Cheers muchly, Ed Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Yup, but when it was done 20+ years ago it's a bit late to change it, I know the growth I took off a lapsed pollard was 20 odd years, and the original wounds were 2-3 ft across, but it was done on a wildlife reserve where hollowed pollards were the aim Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I put my aspen in my combi-can Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
-
I was referring to the ones you see along rivers, which are usually older than most people on this forum. Also these pollards had more function than what the bs3998 outlines, usually with a rotation of 5-15 years, so the wounds would always be bigger than what is recommended Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Go to a dealer, 95% of parts are still available in the uk Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Who cares about it, the important bit is I can now get the obscurer parts easier again, which is very important when rebuilding my relics! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Personally I'd save up for new, you get an up to date model with warranty, you can still end up with a Friday special second hand Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

If you want cheaper, 346xp or 357xp, or the semi-pro range 353 or 359 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

All tree work is technically mutilation... Just some is better than the rest, willow pollarding is nothing more technical than felling and leaving a 6'+ stump Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Raise the bar, 560xp! Heated handles are for people not working hard enough! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I've always found gums can be hit hard, although you'd probably be better doing it spring time Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Why? It's the same saw apart from flip caps, and the really old ones had a screw cap air filter Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

I run everything on aspen, from my 150t to my 090 Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

Coil sounds shagged for a start, you may also have a seized/scored cylinder if it feels low compression, pull the muffler off to have a look inside Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

So round up to 82, sounds about right for 25" hard tips Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
