  11. Hi am looking for work in the lakes around Keswick area I have 5 years experience felling and cutting off wind blow have all my tickets Have all my own kit 3saws and ppe Cheers Darren
  12. I have both of these saws have had them for 7 months and have never had a problem they are both spot on and I am a full time forestry worker so they have a hard life I used to use huskys but changed to stihl as in a year I went through 4 560xp they are the most unreliable saw they just fall to bits but they are a very fast cutting saw when they are running. In a race a 560 would win but for working with it everyday I would pick a 362 any day
