Thanks for the reply. We're in Llandovery, Carmarthenshire. It's processed firewood I was looking at selling. Hard or soft (60 or 50 a cube).

 

If someone else handles delivery I don't mind where it go but I think it's 2+ hours to Oswestry.

I'm after firewood,I'm in Machynlleth,do you know anyone that would deliver?

I think you would be better getting new for the price difference. How old is it? No warranty. How far are you going to travel? You will need a van and two man lift. About 100kg. If you lay it down make sure the oil tank cap is on tight or you will loose all the oil.

It's 10yrs old,and I'm just over an hour away!

I have a trailer (8x4)

Hi. Sorry your link isn't working for me. Looks like the right one.

Another link. Under 500

Link works for me,£479 Delivered at mowersonline!

I suppose £300 max would be a good price do you think?

It's the same as the Handy pro 7. Good machine for the money. Just over 500 new delivered.

Same as this one then?

Evening all,

Browsing the inter web and come across this,I've been looking for a couple of weeks now,I would like to know your opinions on this,it's 10yrs old,but couldn't find any information on the Web about it!

Anybody heard,or know of the brand?

Is it any good?

It's for Home use only!

What's it worth?

Maybe not today anyway, perhaps if you reviewed what diameter you cut & how often you intend to use your saw & for how long, then that may help you make the right decision.

 

Larger wood may make the 365 a better choice as you have more power

Frequent use may make the 60cc Makita a better choice unless weight isnt a problem

When you say larger wood,how large do you mean?

Great idea Turtle, then you can tell us which you prefer & why

I'm afraid the budget won't stretch that far!

Good point!

 

I still haven't had a reply from HuskyDusky as to who was selling the 365 for £450 and whether that included VAT, so I've no idea what he's using it for either.

 

If it's just firewood he can have my low hours DCS4301 for less than either if he's within 50 miles of me, and delivered free too!

 

Maybe he'll be back soon to shed more light on the situation...

Right,as I understand it the husky was originally for a customer who put a deposit on it then didn't return,this was a few months ago at least and the customer has made no contact,so this is the price I was offered it at.

365 all the way

Have you tried a Dolly 6100?

Thanks for that.

Anyone know the "true"weights of these two saws?

Our almost new 365 is still at the dealers. Get a Dolmar, Makita Stihl Echo or even a Chinese saw all better than our yellow 365.

What's up with it?

Do what you think is best - then change your id to Dolmardusky.

Eh.....I like that has a certain ring to it

The 365 all day long, bigger engine, warranty and you can turn it into a 372 when the warranty runs out

The Dolmar will come with 6 months Warranty as well,as well as a brand new Bar and chain.

Get the 6100.

 

I've had no problems ever with Makita / Dolmar.

 

Husqvarna have their own issues, although I don't dislike them, I have my own reasons for not having bought one yet, which are too weird for this forum.

 

The £140 will buy you a lot of fuel, chains, oil and beer.

 

Where is the 365 selling for £450?

Local dealer near me.

Right,I have a bit of a dilemma at the moment on which saw to purchase ,the 365 I've been offered will cost me £450 brand new(20inch bar),and the 6100 for £310 (also 20inch bar)which is second hand,albeit in very good condition from shavey (Andrew) off here.

My intention is that which ever one I choose will be my only saw and will be used mainly for home logging.

Opinions please!

Thanks

Just bought a Brand New Efco DS4300tl brushcutter,now do I run it on Aspen or the usual Stihl hp 2 stroke?

The guy in the shop who tested it to show all was good put a little fuel in it with 2 stroke oil,now that has been emptied was wondering what you guys think?

Thanks

Seems a legit price, what are they 450 quid new?

Priced £500-£550 depending where you purchase it from?

£375?

£400-450?

A quick bit of googling, £770 from f r Jones for PHO.

 

So you have a choice, £600 for a 6 year old, low hours saw, or £170 buys a brand new one with 2 years warranty.

He is open to offers though?

£500 maybe?

Looks a genuine " minter " to me . How much is a new one in the shop ?

Cheapest I found was £823.50 with a 20" bar from Radmore&Tucker

Hi guys,

Came across this while browsing the tinterweb,what's it worth?

No bar or chain.....looks mint and only used once?

eBay 171889836501

Just from specs, not a lot. But spec alone can be misleading.

The Tanaka is a lot more dosh (my price £565 for the 4200DLV with the upgrade 6" UltraA6 2 line head) but it is genuine Japanese throughout. Also 5yr warranty for domestic and 2yr for Pro use.

 

I just like Tanaka, have been selling it since 1990 and had very few issues. But, granted, not everyone wants to spend that much.

Looking to spend no more than £400 to be honest choice upto now is

Lawnflite (can't remember the model number?) (£400)

Efco 4300tl (£399.99)

Stiga 645 (£330 Delivered)

Thanks

I have not had a carb off one myself, but looking at the parts list it does look like a Walbro rotary valve carb with twin inlet strato charging.

 

I had a chat with the rep following the reading of this thread last week. He knows I only like to sell very high quality kit, and would not encourage me to take something if he was not happy with it. But he is 100% behind these Kawasaki powered machines. They apparently have a fair few in local authority work and they are performing extremely well.

 

For now I am sticking with Tanaka in my showroom, but if I have need of a slightly cheaper machine for someone who wont stretch to Tanaka then I will happily get them a Stiga now that I know a bit more about them.

What's the the difference then between the Tanaka equivalent and the the Stiga besides the price?

As i live in a very rural area choice is somewhat limited!

Thanks
