yes that will be fine, am using it in my 560 atm. i would like to know why people buy the £40/gallon 2 stroke though, as i am finding it exactly the same as running on the £13/gallon mineral oil, which has never given me any trouble.

Landcruiser 80 series or 105 series with the 24 valve 4.2 turbo engine, usually only the later 4.5 D4D that gives trouble. 79 series if it really needs to be a pickup, but they arent as nice to drive and maybe not quite as heavily built. Theyres a few 80 series converted to pickups round here, excellent vehicles and easy to do. Landcruisers are expensive for a reason, youd be wasting your time with anything else imo.

thanks for replies, have always tried to use mini diggers with augers but isnt an option for this job

my 560 is only used occasionally and hasnt given any trouble. a friend runs 24" on his and reckons it pulls it well. 365 maybe slightly faster in big timber (if at all), but for everything else a 560 would run rings around the 365, and 560 is much lighter

Looking for recommendations for a petrol post auger. Seems to be a lot of new ones on ebay for £120 ish, anyone tried them? Other than that can only find stihl ones which look pretty expensive for what they are
-
365 is a brilliant saw, a bit on the heavy side, will pull 18" easy. 560xp would be the dogs danglies for 18" if you can stretch to it. bear in mind that the bars husky saws come with are made of cheese. 266 is very good saw but unless you are lucky they have all been worked very hard.
-
thanks for the replies anyone know why the two saws are so close in price but very different in spec? i'd like the 2510 ideally but the price difference makes it a bit pointless doesnt it?
-
which model echos are the best quality ones? anyone used any of the other makes?

Ive got into doing a bit of climbing lately (bit of a hobby), and my trusty husqvarna 41 has finally blown up, and i dont fancy swinging the 560 around up a tree. Hence i now need top handle saw, dont want to spend more than 300+ vat, not too fussed whether 30 or 40cc as each has its advantages. Narrowed it down to Makita, tanaka, efco, solo, echo. Which make and model of these top handles is the best saw in your experience? Cheers

Thanks for replies. the recoil rope worked a treat as i dont have a piston stop tool ive already got a carving bar with 3/8 chain and ive already bought the sprocket drum (just over £5) , its just a case of fitting it.

i thought lime was valuable for hand carving?
