  1. Tbh mate I think it's shot. So annoying tempted by one of those new 193s. I know obviously I need to sort the pump/feed first but I do find the holes block a lot did you ever drill them a little bigger? The most annoying thing is the saws under warranty but honey bros didn't want to know because I ported the saw.

  2. Ok interesting re the half rape half bio. Do you think that the lubrication is still sufficient ? I don't want to compromise bar life. Back to my 150. I have just spent the last hour in the garage stripping it down cleaning everything. Put it all back together correctly and still not oiling. Pump? Faulty? Arrggghhh

  3. I have a ms 150 top handle, recently stopped oiling, after reading things on here I put it down to the fact I use oregon bio oil, my next question is obviously stop using the oregon bio oil but instead of paying a lot for the stihl mineral oil can I use the oregon mineral oil. ??? Thanks lads

  4. Hi, I have a 2008 ford ranger in great condition and I want to keep it. But!!! It's a single cab with high sides and no tipper. I am beyond fed up of unloading it. I have had a quote from power tipper in Somerset for £1950 for there tipper conversion. What are people's thoughts? Worth it? Reliable? Cheers guys

  5. I would be very interested to know who does yours I have a ranger single cab and needs to be a tipper I also live east anglia. I saw you need someone to do loler I've got a guy who does it called Jason McPhee and he's great and reasonable price, he also is an arb tutor at otley college. Pm me for his number. H

  6. Hi, I assume your whoopie is the dyneema grey one? If so it has two eyes unlike others, with the small eye with the red tag attach that to the porta wrap then with the bigger eye that's adjustable throw that round the base of the tree and adjust it so it's long enough to reach all the way round then simply pop the porta wrap through the big adjustable eye and there you are the tree is choked when there's tension in the rigging line.

  7. Hi guys wondering if anyone's had the same problem with their 660, the other day I was using it and the brake just wouldn't engage unless you really smacked the brake forward, I took it home took it apart, cleaned it out but still same problem. It's still under warrenty and honey bros said they would fix it but it's just a pain in the arse to send it away so I wana try sort it myself first. Many thanks H

  8. I couldn't agree more there is a gardener/nutter called the eager beaver who lives near me and I repeatedly see him hanging off a ladder with his top handle saw from god knows where, repeatedly butchering trees it's winds me up a treat. What I'm trying to say is yes 100% it needs to be harder for dicks to get pro arb gear. Mind you it wouldn't stop him!!!!
