I have 2 cabstars and rate em, old shape (06),incidentally one for sale, both carry n tow well, parts seem dear but I’ve mainly had transits in the past which were generally cheaper. Only (not personal) experience of the crafters is of 2 big vans which both had several engine management, electrical and rust issues,

I’m just wondering if anyone else on here has had this problem with an 880 (or any other saw for that matter): I have an 880, that’s not done a huge amount of work, it wouldn’t start mid job so I followed usual procedure of plug out: no spark, new plug: no spark, wire from coil to switch unplugged: no spark Diagnosis: coil fooked (not uncommon as had one go on brand new ms200 yrs ago and was told this) Fitted new coil (£100 odd): still no spark much head scratching then when checking air gap with flywheel noticed one of the magnets not working, presume this is the cause? pissed me right off as need it tomorrow on a couple of large oak fells and as I type this estate manager has texted me to say large cedar of Lebanon at the hall has collapsed this morning, 6’ diameter and was due survey from a colleague this week!

To be fair looks like a nu can, also you’re supposed to swap the spouts back traps f transportation in a vehicle, or so I was told on cs course, though nearly 30trs ago

We’ve not had any problems with 560s was just the 550s, 2 cranks on the same day (saws about 5 months age difference both used continuously f felling 60/70year old trees) Husqvarna were very good n were still compensating our dealer for continuing problems 3years later! Sounds like your dealer doesn’t want to put the time in hassling them?

Sad to hear the Brighton elms are, I remember being told their survival in the70s had been down to a particularly diligent council tree teamas well as the micro climate

Hav an Aarrow Stratford runs heating n hot water, was 5years old when estate I do work for put some let houses onto biomass, it’s been brilliant apart from the odd issue with keeping glass clean. Have had a couple of other Aarrows without Boulez over the years all been good

I think a big part of it is that a lot of youngsters don’t appreciate the mental benefits of a job that is both rewarding and sometimes challenging. Maybe that’s why so many late starters (30/40+) are attracted to the industry? jamallio96 the Lowestoft remark made me chuckle as I spent much of my teenage years in Lowie, ya gotta b motivated to get out[emoji12]

Haven’t bought owt from them for a while but they provided good service when I did, not used the diamond files as I was put off by the fact they’re quite brittle n I break things a lot

Done a few dead pines that made me ring nip so tight ya couldn’t o pushed a pin in but the one that really sticks in my mind is a 4’ dis cedar of Lebanon that had very few lateral n just a flat, tangled, rotten top where I had t anchor below myself and every time I knocked a bit it made horrible crackin noises below me, When I felled the stick it more crackin noises above n it snapped in free fall just below where my anchor point had been [emoji33]
