  1. Powys collect food waste for anaerobic digestion free but don't collect garden waste & will not empty black bins if garden waste is spotted in them. Hotbin composters are becoming very popular with people round here who have a lot of grass clippings as they break down so fast in them compared to other composting methods. People also tend to buy mulching mowers when they replace their old ones as there are no clippings to deal with then. Bonfires for the woody stuff as has always been done in this area.
  2. Fair bit of detail on the specs of the 501SX in the service manual. http://www.echojapan.cz/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/CS-501SX.pdf
  3. Thought that only applied to London. https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/business/environmental-health/environmental-protection/Pages/Construction-.aspx
  4. I dunno the local lop it, top it & leg it type firms seem to do it all the time. If they stopped doing it then I wouldn't get all the calls to quote for tidying up the mess they made of things.
  5. Umuthi wamapulangwe - (Zulu for pine tree) Getting bored of G & nobody said we have to stick to English.
  6. Ginglyform - why are G's significant by the way.
  7. I don't see why UK dealers are put in a position where they can't compete. The government encourages trade with other European countries so for that to work fairly then UK dealers should be supplied products from the manufacturers at the same price as they are made available in other EU member states.
  8. Probably should expand on this as it doesn't make my point very well. I don't have a local Echo dealer so if I had an echo tool that needed repairing even if it was still under warranty I would take it to the workshop at a local (non Echo) dealer & pay for the repair myself as I need my kit in working order. When it is in for repair I need it fixed fast the extra few days spent posting tools back & forth really would not help me, unless of course I decided to support Spuds new venture & send things to him in which case it would be tools I could do without for a while.
  9. Never yet needed dealer support for an Echo tool still under warranty, & don't have a local echo dealer to use anyway.
  10. Definitely the right price not a typo. Coming from Italy, I have dealt with the company before downside is communication is not great & delivery can take a week or two longer than stated but the prices are very good. They also sell a lot of Chinese junk so if you don't recognise the brand name on something it's probably generic chinese rubbish that won't last. http://www.damistore.it/chainsaw-pruning-echo-cs-360-tes-professional-35-8-cc-2-hp.html Same supplier on ebay.

  11. It's worth more but collection only stuff often goes for a pittance & arranging couriers yourself rather than the seller arranging it can be a real PITA which is the only reason I didn't buy it when the buy it now price was still available.
  12. Cheaper on Amazon they also do the scenery packs for displaying the figures.

  13. I ordered a 360TES yesterday (finally gave in to temptation) unfortunately the price on your site was a bit steep for me so I bought it elsewhere at just shy of £275 inc vat + delivery. You will have to negotiate a bit harder with Echo to be more competitive.
