  1. i've had mine 2 weeks now, there should be plenty about now.
  2. Hi dude! Just been reading on the forum here you've got the husky 572xp. After working with it a few weeks what's your thoughts on it? I'm finding plenty of people putting up the YouTube vids but no real reviews regarding how it performs, I'm about to lay down the money for one this week but if it's crap then it's gonna be the ms461. Cheers dude!

  3. Hi! just been reading your post regarding the stihl 462 vs the husky 572 and was wondering what your opinion was on them both at this time? i've got a 572 on backorder at the moment intending to run it with a 28" on the odd occasion that demands however mostly with a 20", but i'm now wondering if maybe i should get the 462. your opinion will be appreciated!

      Hi @northman! Both are fantastic saws and there really isn't much difference between them. I think it just comes down to if you prefer stihl or husky? Or interchangeability of bars and chains from other saws you own?

      Sorry i can't be of more help!

    Ms661 coil

    Hi guys! Does anyone know if the updated/current coil for the 661 is a straight for to the older generation 661? I've a 2014 model and not sure if it's a direct swap or if there's been any updates that would clash. (Trying to cure the of idle bog)
  6. I can't really see injection being of much benefit over mtronic or autotune it's just a stop gap until more heavy duty and commercial battery chainsaws are available, I've seen 13hp 10300 watt electric motor in RC cars but I'm no engineering genius though so perhaps there's a huge hurdle to overcome to get this tech to work in commercial applications but even though wtf is talking so long, rc batteries don't weigh that much either.
  7. Anyone heard anything about when the new ropes from teufelerger are gonna be released? the drenaline sounds interesting . https://www.teufelberger.com/en/drenaline.html
  8. As far as i'm aware they like dense low vegetation like long grass, twice i've had one on me, the first no issue what so ever which i found on my stomach while waking in the morning. to say i was surprised was an understatement. the second i didn't even know i had picked up while out on the bike, my point is though both times i had no idea they had crawled onto me let alone latched on. the second time however i did contract limes but luckily caught it at the rash stage, the rash was pretty aggressive alone so sympathise anyone who has full blown limes.
  9. Yeh a swivel would be great, it just seems that when you change to left or right the chip flow out of the machine is interrupted at the chip deflector creating an abrupt angle change. Maybe a slight change in the profiles of the deflector even could work. Swivel would be best though. Would the peruzzo tb100 discharge cute for the cs100 perhaps? Could be worth a try.
  10. I'll second this! The cs100 on imho has pretty much the best Infeed cute on a small chipper. I've just come from a Jansen gte1500 which being pretty much the same as the venom is not in the same league as the Greenmech, I've only one real niggle with the cs100 and that's the discharge cute is not the best when you point it left or right to fill up a wheely bin for example, but straight on it's bloody fantastic.
  11. the wife swears by gells, she's not in this line of work but used to work in a factory and said they stood up better. i'm amazed i even remember that, and shes says i dont listen lol.
  12. Thanks for the translation, I was hoping they may have said something a little more exciting but I guess they're gonna be playing their cards close being as Husqvarna are due to release their new saw.
  13. I'm hoping they don't go fuel injected like the chop saw. I've heard they're a nightmare.

    Stihl ms462

    So the 462 is close to being released I guess, found this Stihl video on YouTube but I've no idea what's being said. Anyone speak German?
  15. So picked the machine up yesterday from my local, they replaced the solenoid valve, which didn't work, stripped and rebuilt the carb which didn't work, plugged it into diagnostic software which said it's running fine so lastly just changed out for a new carb. So now it's finally running right I'm interested has anyone else had similar issues which resulted in a new carb cuz from what I'm being told there is an issue with rubbish carbs on the 460 and I should change over to Husqvarna.
  16. Dropped the machine of at my local dealer today and had a little chat with one of the mechanics there, he seems to think it's the solenoid valve sticking which apparently is quite common. Fingers crossed it'll be back at work trouble free soon enough.
  17. I so hate it when predictive text changes your words without you realising.! So I meant to say is the mtronic reset for brushcutters the same as the saws in that you leave it on choke for 90seconds minimum then blip the throttle to set to normal idol? And do I need to remove the cutting head whilst doing this?
  18. Is the reset for the brushcutter the same as the saws? Leave it running on come for 90 seconds at least then blip the throttle to set to normal running?
  19. So since posting this thread the machine went into my local dealer who couldn't find anything wrong with it, so just gave it a service. Now after that it did maybe 1 or 2 jobs since being parked up for the winter. So now the season is back in full swing I've gotten on site with the machine and it's bloody playing up again nothing down at full throttle as soon as it's warned up. So again I ask has anyone else had this trouble with their fs460. Just for reference it's only run on Aspen or motomix, filter is clean and it's always run with the guard on so no 2ft strimmer line which I've heard can cause a similar problem. Cheers!
  20. WD-40 works great for cleaning of that stubborn sap.
  21. Can Anyone tell me what color code it is for the standard green please ? I've a few areas is like to touch up before the rust sets in.
  22. So thanks for everyone's feedback, picked up the new mower today and settled for an etesia phcs46 in the end ultimately over the j/d pro 47, put it to use in short order on grass around 10" long and damp. It didn't drop anything, didn't get blocked and crammed the box really tight with clippings so very happy indeed. Cheers again all. And big thanks to fpandg!
