Thanks for that, I'm away on a boat in the North sea at the moment, back in two weeks. I'll be in the woods after that and had a bit more and some photos after I've had more time to use the new chain. Cheers Rob

Try Swan seals in Aberdeen

All done in the best possible taste 😂

Very true Mike, just worried about a big bill to get it through customs in the uk. Cheers Rob

Yeah I though it would be shocking expensive due to the import duty. Just testing the water, with asking if anyone has already bought one in. Cheers

I've seen and saw tuning company called Ripsaw advertise on facebook eta in the sates. Has anyone had any dealings with them? If so what was the import duties on the saw's or parts like? And what was the standard of work like? Cheers Rob

Well gents I did place an order with Chainsaw bars for two Hexa chains, a 20" bar, drive sprocket and file for my MS441 which I've had since 2011, so well used to its performance. I've only had the chance to put two tanks of fuel through the saw with this new chain. Boy it cuts fast, really fast! I've only cross cut ash fire wood with it. Plunge cutting is very fast and controllable to. I'll write up more of my thoughts on this chain once I return home after a four week trip working offshore. I can only think that running on this on a 500i or an 880 would be fantastic. Cheers Rob

would they have fitted a less aggressive cam as well?

Ok that's fair enough, I'll do that and write something up, cheers Rob

I'd like to try it out on my saws for testing! Cheers Rob

Hi Elfie I stay in the Midmar area and have a TW125 thats band spanking and mini loader with duel wheels that I could hire out, but only with me there working them as grounds man or driver. If you want to talk about it send an email [email protected] I all so have all my own saw's eta and like a bit of graft, Cheers Rob

Have you seen the Norcar range of mini loaders? They may fit the bill?

Hi Paul, good to meet you at the show, see you next year mate! The Norcar crew will be at the APF later in the year, don't think I'll make it, back out on the high sea's working on the diving gear. The team line up left to right, Richard, a retired gent that worked at the tractor dealer next to the pub you camped at. Emma, head of admin and smooth running at Norcar HQ, Andy Cox the main man. Last in the line up is me, Rob. Back home now after five days away, burnt to a crisp but what a good time i had meeting all the new folk and none stop talking about the machines. Stopped in Stockport for my Nans 81st on the way home on Sunday, then went in past Clarks Forestry in Dumfries to get some Pfanner boots and saw strides. Never got a chance at the show. Yvonne Clark was sport on to deal with, she was at the Arb show to with Pfanner blue tooth head sets. I had a try in the shop, very cool kit. Cheers Mr Fox

We are just starting out with showing so have missed that one:( We could always do a demo for you or you could come to the open day? with tea and burgers laid on:) We should have two machines to show on the open day, ours, the one with the duel wheels in the pic above and a larger tracked machine. Andy Cox the main man of Norcar UK will be there and can give you all the info you need. If we can help you Guss we will. Cheers Rob

Here are a couple of photos of the machines:thumbup1:
