  1. Thanks guys. I work in utilities so I need something robust. We’re given Harkie harnesses which are fine, just nowhere near as nice as my old Treeaustria.
  2. Thanks man, I'll learn from your experience! Thank you.
  3. Hi Andy, how are you getting on with your harness?
  4. Looked online, yes. Same thing as with the Courant I guess. What body shape does it fit best, what is it best to use it for (pruning, spiking, takedowns etc).
  5. Sorry, this has probably been done a few times! There's a ton of info/opinion going around about the Treemotion and a wee bit about the Kolibri but I wonder if anyone has much experience with the Courant? I need a new harness! My Treeaustria 3.1 is dead. I live in Northern Ireland so it's unlikely that I'll get a chance to try before I buy so any info is welcome! Thanks all.

    About twenty minutes.

    Just a wee update, I did what you said spud and it seems to have worked just fine! £6 mend, I'm very pleased! Cheers guys, very good of you to share your knowledge. I appreciate it.

    Thank you all very much, I'll give it a go. Thanks for the quick responses! Interestingly enough, one of the work 357xp s had a new pot and piston recently and when I checked today it had been put back together just like my 346xp and the two long bolts were starting to do the same thing. I swapped them for the right ones straight away!

    So... I replaced the crankcase gasket on my 346xpg a wee while back - started on the third pull when I got it back together, it had only been lying in bits for a year.... 👊 However, I used the wrong bolts to attach the front handle at the bottom of the saw. They were too long so have worn two little holes through the crankcase, spilling chain oil everywhere. Not a great look down your legs... Does anyone know where I can get the two crankcase halves? My dealer quoted £190 new, I didn't like the sound of that! There's a half crankcase on eBay for £30 at the moment but I'm holding off to see if I can source the two together, even off the same saw. Thanks!
  11. I've used several examples of each and the 550xp beats the 261 hands down in terms of performance and reliability.
  12. My new (to me) toy - I'm in love... 390xp with a 28" bar and chain.
  13. I have a 101 problem.... Thought I was cured but saw a GS a couple of weeks back - turns out I still have the problem!
  14. My 550xp cuddling up! Just a wee 13" on her.
  15. My 461 making a mess - the bar's older than the saw... 28", keen to add double dogs and a wrap handle.
