I can have look to see if I have a spare one floating around as I 've had quite a few 020 supers

Jesus what is he farmer block ??

Theyre heavy compared to a modern saw but being a 40cc saw will go through bigger stuff than most topping saws.

Its probaly due to the gearing of these ones labour the engine alot more than the earlier ones. Fingers crossed mine doesnt run into these issues

I run the cheap bump feed heads they seem to stop the cord breaking as quick as the stihl type one.

If you want to run a sander you'll need around a 3hp 50l compressor. For blowing saws out any 2hp one will be fine.

Have you thought about a second hand saw like a 357 or 346 or even a stihl 260 or 261 these are all great saws

If your engine is damaged I have one that's missing the flywheel

Is it possible to take the heated handles and gubbins off the 254 and put them on the 154 ?

The stihl bg86 is a very powerful hand blower. I also invested in echo back pack blower they are heavier than the Stihl ones but very capable

The new 145 head doesnt look too bad at all. Looks they've addressed the blade flexing issue but what have they taken away from the original 135 head. https://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/products-page/machines/brushcutters-strimmers-attachments/brushcutter-strimmer-attachments/stihl-hl-145-degrees-hedge-trimmer-attachment-20-cut-available-may-2017/?gclid=CjwKEAjw5_vHBRCBtt2NqqCDjiESJABD5rCJhfUN0woqHuQJoI1yKHcySBbOYbi750Fo5ulXMUPnbBoCkWTw_wcB

I'm curious what are you lot doing to these poor Stihl heads as I run mine daily and apart from the shaft clamp being broken it still works perdectly. I do grease mine weekly though

You need a 3/8 7 tooth sprocket or a different rim drive. What saw do you have as a 3/8 chain is for the bigger cc saws 50cc plus

The echo is a much simpler design it doesn't have bearing issues like the stihl one plus its quite a bit lighter. I'm not saying Stihl one is rubbish just I find the blades flex a lot and splay apart easily

If I'm correct this will be the one that'll fit you'll be better off going to a echo dealer tbh to make sure https://www.lawnmowersdirect.co.uk/product/echo-hcaa-2403a-hedgetrimmer-attachment I know if my Stihl one gives up ill be replacing it with a echo one

I had this recently in a echo hedge trimmer I found shingle type stones and fuel work well. Theres Probaly easier ways 😂 maybe brake cleaner

I find a full chisel cuts quicker or maybe its just because its worn more than my semi that I rarely use

Can always run a echo hedge trimmer head on your Stihl if your Stihl head has had it.

Sounds like its running either lean or rich this could because of a Air leak or maybe your exhaust has come loose.
