  8. Thanks rob. Looking for a 24" How hard is it to swap the noses over?
  9. Hi rob. I'm looking to convert a husky 372xpg originally 3/8 to run 404 chain. Have you anything that would suit? Sugi or otherwise?
  10. Dragging a truck out with a climbing carabiner isn't really a comparison. I think if you fell 30m the crab wouldn't be your first thought. More likely the crack as you broke your spine. I really like the ball lock on my main line. Fair few times coming out the tree I've had a standard 3 way crab catch on a branch and move the first two actions by itself while I'm writhing around trying to move past branches.
  11. I own and use a 362 daily for power line work. It takes all the abuse I can throw at it never let me down and It is just over a year old now. Lots of power and it'll cut all day long over bar length without missing a beat. All the times I have used a 560 it just feels like it has no power apart from flat out revs. And it feels a lot more plastic-y.

    660 or 880?

    I have a 660 an the Lad I work with has an 880. 36" stays on the 880 all the time and my 660 has a 25 and a 36" The 660 isn't much slower than the 880 on the 36 but it's so much lighter for using for longer periods of time. Having the 25 is also handy and it does rip through almost anything with ease with that bar on. So it's 660 for me over the 880. Obviously the price difference too.
  13. I'm 24 now. Pay 424 on my 130 with aviva. Driving 7 years and no claims
  14. I want that kit for my 362!!! Are they available in the uk?
