    I agree 100%. Ideally they should be left alone until old age or removed. They tolerate the crown being raised (if done properly), but not reductions.

    Is there absolutely no access to the garden? Not even a narrow footpath? Some of the tracked mewps are very narrow and compact and can access areas first thought to be inaccessible.

    Both are good saws overrall and a joy to use, especially when compared to a handsaw & larger top handle. It also depends on if you have a dealer nearby or not. If I had to choose one, I'd take the Stihl.

    I have both and use them mostly for pruning. Bought the 151T not too long ago. Echo is smaller in size, the plastic and overrall build seems more flimsy in my opinion. Rear half of the side cover (exhaust side) is prone to cracking with the result of ruined protective gear/harness 🤬.. When it comes to power, they feel similar and the same can be said for handling. 151T is larger in dimensions, but I don't find it cumbersome in use vs the 2511t. Air filter on the Stihl doesn't pack up as quickly as the Echo does. Both of mine run 1/4", 1.1mm.

    Depends on what you're planning on doing with it. Regular cutting, blocking up firewood, milling, etc. Also depends on if it's soft, hard, wet, frozen or dry wood. Depends on the chain pitch also, but it can handle up to 36" with regular 3/8" just fine in hard/frozen wood and milling. It will slow down of course, but it will handle it. You won't notice much of a powerloss on 18-24".

    I have no experience with the fuelwood splitter 400, but Dalen 2054 and Duun firewood processors are very popular here. 2054 Wood machine - Dalen By | Dalen and our products DALEN.NO The 2054 wood machine is an all-hydraulic machine that places high demands on efficiency, functionality and ease of use.

    Perfect 👍

    Engine swap? Nothing like a v8 chipper 😁

    Like have been previously mentioned, check that the gear and joints have enough grease. Check that the knives does not have play (can be tightened, but make sure not to overtighten). They can clack and vibrate as the head becomes worn after much use. I usually use spray lubrication (thin penetrating oil, not sticky oil/grease) on the knives at the start of the workday and reapply when I refuel. Combi tools typically vibrate more than dedicated tools and it's easier to bend the shaft. Especially when changing between tools.

    With Bf Goodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tyres from what I can see 🙂

    I can recommend Rock Dynamo hybrid helmet with short visor and Sena tufftalk lite.
  12. Ferguson system
    Yes, something like that.

    I should add that it helps to leave the saw running in high idle position for 30-60 sec after it starts, so autotune can adjust to the conditions.

    If you use the proper starting procedure, then you won't have a problem. You probably know, but if you don't, then this is how: (Cold saw) 1. Use the decomp button. 2. Prime 5-6 times (you can't overprime it so don't worry about that). 3. Pull out and up on the stop/start lever to put it in the choke position. 4. Pull until the saw fires one time. 5. Push down on the stop/start lever to activate high idle mode. 6. Pull until the saw fires up. To start the saw when it's hot: 1. Use the decomp button. 2. Pull out and up on the start/stop lever to put it in the choke position. 3. Push down on the stop/start lever to activate high idle mode. 4. Pull until the saw fires up.

    I agree with Matty. 2-3000 kg winch is a good size for a compact tractor. Youtube review of the 2001 winch (The new version has been redesigned slightly):

    It costs a bit more than steel (sometimes twice as much), but I think it's worth it. Easier to work with, safer to work with, spools nicer on the drum. Quality synthetic rope will have about the same abrasion resistance as steel, or better. Compare the same Ø. dimension of steel and fibre and the fibre will usually have a higher breaking strength. Which means you can go with a smaller diameter rope. That combined with the fact that it spools nice on the drum, means you can get much more on it. The combined weight on the 3 point hitch will also be lower (doesn't matter much on a large tractor, but it does on a small one).
  17. Ferguson system
    Synthetic line can also be used if you want lighter weight and more line on the drum.

    I can recommend Igland winches. Link to their site: Winch | Nøsted & AS WWW.NOSTED.COM Nøsted company The 2501 and 3501 will suit your tractors.

    + on that comment. No matter what type of glue/chemical metal is being used. It won't work well if the area is not cleaned properly. Empty the oil tank and clean the crack with brake cleaner.
  20. Ferguson system
    Yes, it shouldn't be a problem to find. Tsumura is one example that offer that combo in both solid and solid light versions.

    If the bar is for a firewood processor, then I would suggest that you get a bar with 1.5mm groove instead of 1.3mm. 1.5mm has more room for oil and will increase the lifetime of the bar. Better lubrication for the sprocket and more oil to cool the bar. One other thing is that you should look for a bar that is solid and not laminated. A laminated bar is ok for a chainsaw, but I strongly recommend that you get one that is solid for your firewood processor. The bar and chain combo that you're after is pretty common, most dealers and suppliers should be able to help you. You listed a Oregon bar that has the small Husqvarna mount, but it doesn't have to be Oregon as long as you get the same bar mount and chain pitch.

    I've been thinking about doing something similar. One idea would be to buy a trailer and use that. Remove the towbar and axle and mount it on the frame on the pickup. Buy from a manufacturer that offer accessories like mesh sides/double sides, etc. It would also make it easy to get spare parts.

    I tried reading through the manual for the 35 hp vanguard engine. It mentions it, and does show the icon for it, but doesn't explain in detail where it's located on the engine. Follow the fuel lines and you should be able to find it. On the smaller Vanguard twin engines, it's a red tab located at the side of the engine.
  24. Ferguson system
    When you start the machine, do you use the choke? Engines with a carb are often sensitive to weather changes, temperature and moisture. You say that the engine backfires, Vanguard engines are often adjusted a bit rich from the factory. They want choke until it fires the first time when it's cold and up to around +15-20C. During summer when it's warm, you may have better luck if you don't use the choke at all. One other thing I want to mention is to close the fuel tap when you don't use the machine.

    B&S/Vanguard and Honda V-twin engines should fit. They often have the same mounting holes, just make sure you get the right driveshaft. Manufacturers often deliver with different size/style driveshafts on the same engine model. Loncin is another alternative that might be a bit cheaper to buy.
