Careful if you go for the jag , I did and the Doc managed to catch a nerve at the same time !! Trust me the tennis elbow was sore alright but nothing to the pain from the nerve , took a year to get better , every time I picked something up I was in agony . TS :thumbdown:

395 for me mate , just think it's a better saw . TS
-
That is one lovely tree mate . TS

I've got a Dewalt XRP 18 volt , it's about 4 years old and is still as good as new ! I'm told the new ones are crap though , my joiner mate swears by Makita . TS

I've had mine for years , great tough old saw , easy to get parts still too . Not that fast by todays standards , but I still like to air it from time to time . TS
-
Oops forgot abot the 254xp and the 266xp , too many saws !!
-
Tried a 13" bar on it and loved it . Never tried changing sprockets though . I still have a 262xp and thought that was Huskys best until I got the 560 , now I use it all the time . SUPERB SAW . TS
-
Clarks will sort you out mate , superb service . TS

I run a 560xp and a 361 , the 361 running a 20" bar , I use it for cross cutting . The 560 on a 15" bar , I use for snedding and small / medium timber and to me this is where a 560 comes alive , I love it , fast light and easy to handle and as far as i can see leaves the 361 for dead . No way I would run a bigger bar than 15" . Only my opion though !! TS

Looks ok for the time of year from the pics. , have another look when it should be in leaf and take it from there . TS

I used to wear Haix tibet forest , I would say the airstreams are as good for durability but more comfy , maybe just my feet ! I fancy trying the woodwalkers too TS.

Meindl airstream , the best I've worn , well worth the cash . TS

Which hedge cutter for thicker stuff?
TreeswingerPerth replied to Rebel_Commando's topic in Landscaping
I've got a Stihl hs80 , it's awesome for heavy stuff . I think the newer model is hs81 , a bit rough for neat hedges though . TS -
Dunno about MS but XP is extra power . TS

Hi there, I went for the t1650 workstation , reason being Dell recon they are good for long service life in extreme conditions ( freezing in my workshop at night ) fact is the precision model is designed to run 24/7 for years and they are fast with big storage too . My son is into computers and he recommended it to me , he's repairing some for business people that are years old . Just my opinion ! By the way it's Windows 7 and easy to work with . CheersTS : thumbup:
-
If I could only have two I would go with my ms200T and my husky 560 , thankfully I don't have to make that happen . I recon in the real world two aint enough to cover all jobs . TS
-
Hope you can sleep at night !! :thumbup:
-
Just got a new Dell precision , fantastic bit of kit would recommend it . TS
-
They were in Stirlingshire yesterday too , got short shift !
