you taking bout the homelite zip? or something else?

Cool buddy my 357 and 372 are ported lol ......I'd suspect no auto on the 372 as it mostly the choice of alot of fallers in their arsenal and if it works then they won't change it lol it is kinda one of their tried and tested. I guess my view is from different angle sorta most of the guys I have worked with wouldn't look at the 560 for no other reason than the bar lengths it can pull I fully respect your views and what your experiences with the 560 are (along with others) I just don't think it a pro saw

thanks buddy just wondered that all ......tthey can be fun back home as you get a bunch of fallers and loggers together and the wood flies lol it also fun to buck and chop old style that usually is good fun as ya get to see how fit folks are lol

tree hugger???

Zippo's are top notch never had a hand warmer I use my lighter lol (not that I smoke ya realize:blushing:) Made in PA (yankee but we make allowances lol)

Stink bombs lol..........happens everytime I eat refried beans .......or so the wife says lol Dukes of Hazzard anyone remember that.............Oh Daisey Duke

Do any of you guys do charity get togethers over here? Where folks meet up shoot the breeze maybe fall a few problem trees swap tales eat and race for fun? The wood we cut is all donated to elderly folks for firewood It a whole shed load of fun and for a good cause

You not heard lol...............summer is scheduled for 12 noon a week next Wednesday lol..........get yer shorts ready it will last only a day lol

I split mostly with a double bit have been for years lol a good Kelly true won't let you down

May be we should all take in to account that as with all things when new innovations technology etc is introduced there are always problems and glitches (sometimes things don't work at all) Things won't stand still lol the big 3 (well 2 really) will try to push the envelope further and further and we will moan and groan when things don't quite work (I'm as guilty prob more so ). The hype that is always put out is by it's nature is just that ......they are trying to sell us something lol .......and we being humans fall for it as we always looking for something to work better and faster etc etc etc lol. Think of when the big falling saws first came out (before my time) some were two man took a hell of alot of effort to get them to a tree etc etc and I know some of the old timers that were around at the time and they have told me that well the moans groans etc were just the same lol things broke didn't exactly do what was written up lol but things kept going. When electronics came out in car engines lol there were probs but things kept going. It will be the same with saws and logging lol It won't stop us moaning lol. Husky are good in general and they'll get it sorted if not they'll ditch it .....doesn't help those who have probs but they usually get there. They have their tried and tested if folks want and not sure then go for them. That all said I really do have reservations bout the 560 and don't view it as a full on pro saw more a semi pro/ home user saw. I've said before I've seen a saw fly with cuss words following it lol It all happy days and all in the life of pro woods folk

There usually 2 of us we bid on contracts works out bout £30 an hour thats each lol some contracts take a few weeks some just a day just depends

LOL he a scrumpy man lol ............hey in this day and climate ya don't get if ya don't have the balls to ask (commission I mean)

you on commission lol

ya charge for your wit too???:lol: you sure your not Donald trump

not that I know of just keep checking them.......if it happening regularly then there may be a fault somewhere

Ah ok thought it was a grasshopper thing lol

Can any of you folks give me an idea of what a 30 yard by 8' by 7' stack of brash would chip down to .....I have never chipped it not something we do lol Any advice be appreciated

The pile is about 30 yard long and around 6' high that's just the softwood the hardwood hmmm bout 20 to 30' long by around 4-5' high

My old man had an AA box key on his key chain lol

Some one from the council nuked it lol

As a guide if we falling contract we around the £300 a day

I wasn't having a go .....I was really thinking of you guys as you said working your rears of for not huge return. Oh we cut small stands too as well as working gypo for the high end shows. Our own place is only 175 acres so it cut in small stands but it is managed that way (that's the wifes job lol I only kill the stuff lol)
