  1. Hi, We have a Jensen A530t 2007 model. Can anyone help with service advice. 1. How do you drain hydraulic oil to replace with fresh. I have accessed filter etc by removal of the side panel. Is there a specific drain plug for the system ?. 2. Flywheel drive belts are loose. I understand you can adjust by undoing engine mounts and resetting . I've taken a good look but can't work out how to proceed. Anyone got any photos or guidance. 3. There is an inline fuel filter in the engine bay. Does this model have a secondary screw on filter. Any help very much appreciated. Cheers.
  2. Can I just clarify the current position. I surrendered my 2510 at the earliest opportunity having opted to receive the temporary loan of a new saw. To date I have still not received the loaner . Am I right in thinking that some of the 280's have now been sent out.
  3. For all those 2510 owners... I have it on good authority that there is currently a stop notice issued by the manufacturer which means that they are not generally being sold by retailers. It appears that there is a potential design flaw with the exhaust that is causing concern. It seems possible that in the not too distant future there may be a general recall. My 2510 has a carburettor problem. Echo have been very helpful and offered to replace when they have further information concerning the recall.
  4. All. I've been told today that Echo are having problems with the 2510 and are considering a recall. I've had one since release and have been impressed with size and power etc. However my particular one has been back to supplier twice as it keeps cutting out when you come off the gas. I've had a replacement carb and just been offered my money back which I've accepted. I was informed that others have been having similar problems. I will definitely replace with a 2510 but am happy to bide my time if they are to be uprated. Anyone else heard similar or experienced like problems ?. Its a real personal shame as I rate it as a climbing saw.
  5. We own one. What do you want to know..?
  6. Good Morning. I have been asked to remove some conifers for a family friend in Clevedon. I reckon I will generate a couple of loads of chip. Can anyone help with a tip site locally to save me a drag over the Mendips. Cheers, Simon.
  7. I did the course last year. I understand what you are saying. It is however only a matter of becoming familiar with the system. Go onto Myerscough website. Look for student and staff links then select Bloom learning space. All correspondence will be there. The tutor Tom Devine is really helpful and you will get weekly learning modules to work through. It can be a bit of an uphill struggle to start but you will soon get to grips with it. I wouldn't bin it just yet . I learnt tons which has been real useful when dealing with customers. Hope this helps a bit. Cheers.
  8. <p>Hi. Ive got a Viszla pup of 9 weeks. I do mostly domestic work and am planning to leave dog in my truck when grafting. I was wondering do you do the same and how things go. Cheers Simon.</p>

  9. Bought one the other day. I,ve whacked a bit of Poplar and some Oak with it thus far. First impressions are that I like the Ergonomics. The handle has a nifty palm support which is dead comfortable. Cuts well out of the box. Its all plastic looking but sturdy enough. The only thing that I found thus far that is a bit painful is that the diameter of the filler cap is dead tight with my combo can nozzle. In view of the price I can live with that. It is significantly cheaper than a 201t. No regrets so far.
  10. Take a look at there Arb Association website. You'll find versions on there.

    Asian Hornet possibly. A non indegenous species that is heading our way. Not at all Bee friendly as they hang around outside hives attacking the occupants. That's my go.
  12. Am I missing something. Just took delivery of my New Zig Zag, Why are you dropping down from a 13mm rope. I,ve just played with the ZZ and it seems to run fine on my climbing line. Albeit I only ran it on an un-tensioned tail poking out of my rope bag.
  13. Attached photo of screw splitter I bodged together last yr. Cone, shaft and gearing together with 15hp Kohler rotator engine all sourced from E bay. I calculated max rpm is about 550-600. All driven by one V belt. I had to do a little engineering to sort drive out but it wasn't too hard. I found all components from Poland to be of a great quality for the price. I have split many tons of wood with this and still have my fingers but you have to be very careful with it as it definitely has the potential to bite. The engine is in truth underpowered for anything either over about 8 inches in diameter or very knotty. At full tilt you can easily split bags of the right wood at a very productive rate. Much quicker than my hydraulic powered set up which I use for larger rounds. Hope this helps. Cheers
