The brilliance of stihl
-
There is a new one. 0-145. More expensive too. Probably just that they arent making the 135 anymore? There's a new design polesaw as well.
-
Ford Formula F Oil is the same as the Castrol one but at much less cost BTW. Are rangers 5w/30? Ford 5w30 Formula F Engine Oil 5lts - Parts Shop - FordPartsUK

Who has an issue with line breaking inside the head? If it snaps at the eyelets you need to let more like out. But if you use a jet fit head it won't snnap at the eyelets (if you let it get that far) as they're set back slightly into the head giving it a bit of a bend rather than a 90 degree angle.
-
Ignore this... It was 2 A.M.
-
It welds because it gets hot inside the head. Soaking the line should stop it.
-
Depends what you're doing. If there's crap in there you wouldn't want to hit with a blade it's better, basically doesnt wear on medium brambles and below.
-
For strimming against wire I just use 2.4mm in a 4 head because it breaks anyway and you get more length to a bumphead if it's smaller. Or 7mm oregon stuff if you want to smash the stuff apart.
-
Doesn't blunt the chain unless you go down to the bone J so your saw'll be fine.
-
They're good on fuel too.
-
You on the lookout Bob?
-
They said reduce it as much as possible.
-
Great big 18 inch chipper then, forgot the GM and TW.
-
You never did upload that video of the beast working. Or did I miss it?
-
And its never as good as you remember it used to be?
-
The echo 520 would also be worth a look
-
I had an offer for a large one at a Parish Council included what would be 2 man days just strimming around headstones. However they have their meetings with the public... So the lowest price always wins as there are people there wanting money for x y z so they'd never spend a few k more to have the village actually maintained properly and instead bounce between crappy contractors every two years.
-
What bar does it have at the moment? If it's an 'echo' bar I think they're tsumura's. Our 8002 came with a tsumura bar at least.
-
I think the roller mowers speed is the same as the slower gear on the 4 wheelers.
-
I believe diesels produce less greenhouse gases then petrol (which is why the government tried to get everyone to buy one a few years ago) but are worse for local air quality.
-
Yeah that's the new bodywork design stihl have. I suppose I should've said they've got the same 4 mix engines as the old ones.
-
I was told at saltex they were the same as the old 130 and 110 just with the new bodywork on them.
-
Using it as an alternative to a stump grinder.
-
Are you cutting it 3 times a week with a cylinder mower at less than 10mm height?
-
Unless it's covered in a hard frost it won't care much. Unless you keep it at bowling green length or something.
