is the pile calling ? new saw don't tell the wife

Hi Guys looking for a new saw to add to the fleet something in the 60cc range mainly be used for sectional dismantles and felling so I do like the mount option on the 562 as can put a bigger bar on if needed and keeps the weight down although the 661 does have to go up from time to time you all know the score?? . I run Stihl Husky and Echo on my fleet so I like the three before the probable arguments start to what's better. ? looking at something like the 362 an 562 respectively but open to recommendations on Dolmar/ Makita I know there the same saws or any other recommendations you may have . also looking for peoples views on the old heated handle debate would you go for it or not and why if you don't mind me asking . T I A

update on this for anyone interested I run a legacy 56 pro been sending it to the delar for its 1 st and second year service for the warrenty etc and last week was using it and it started jerking when you engage the drive I have owned various lawnflights and Hondas so I know all the gearbox problems and symptoms of them to well phoned the delar right away and he said the usual if I get any worse bring it in a couple days latter went to use it no drive atall took it in and the gearbox needs a full rebuild its under warranty but even so ive been without my 22 inch for 3 weeks now after the delar showing me one of the gearboxes in the shop saying look at how much stronger and better built than a Honda one it is which in fairness to the chap it was but it seems they still break . the Kawasaki engine is faultless okay the oil filters are dearer than I would like at 25 quid but I can put up with that pickup including wet collection is brilliant only better machine for this I have run is the etesia but then your paying more for them so you sort of expect it I can see they would be heavy for some people but I do believe the weight helps to make them stripe brilliantly for finish id say there second to none they do a have split roller like the haters which I like just like to add this machine only gets used twice a week maximum so not had a lot of use as we don't do much small-scale mowing so its certainly not been hammered or abused hope this helps someone

what about the new husky 572 that's out next week if you want something comparable to the 462 or the 562 is a cracking saw also if you find the weight is going to be an issue for you

As above looking into adding an echo 360 to the fleet I already own a 540 and a 201 an have a 200 being restored so please no get one of them answers are they any good

We run both the 201 t pre tcm with the upgrade kit and the mk1 540 after are 200t was stolen both good saws but would go back to a 200 at a heart beat or even better an 020 what's people's views on the 360 echo

That was him dan I'll try and find the thread

So true but I'm converted and will be ordering the ld2 over the grcs

Hi mate What made you go for the ld1 over the ld2 as I know it's cosidarebly cheaper and I'm trying to weigh up if the ld2 is worth the extra money

You can get the Williams harness with quick release isc clips I run one as the rescue harness and a tree motion for everyday

What made you go for it over the grcs mate and maybe for some but I found it very informative

I did watch ur review on YouTube and it is the ld2 I'm leaning towards as it's a regular ground team as supposed to different groundsmen great video by the way really indepth review of what looks like a great piece of kit

Looking at getting a new lowering device what are you using and why good points and bad points etc considering with r c w 3001 grcs arbpro smartwinch hobs etc

Ideal world a 12inch + bandit with built in winch

The guy I got my Jensen off Robert ghin used to own redwood but his son runs it know and started forst Doug anyway he knows Jensen machines really well I can get u his contact details if you like

Hi Jonny how you doing business good ? On are 530 by the knob that adjusts roller speed is a gold coloured knob only tiny but I believe that alters the timing of the no stress coming on from what I understood from the manual fixed are stress we had a simular problem hope this helps you

All mine are going strong 36 661 12 inch 201t an 12inch 540 should treat the other saws really

Any news Steve I'm sorry to bother you in the festive period belated merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and family If the raffle doesn't go a head I would still like to donate to the children's trust Chears Jayy

Update after much research went for the stihl 160 there will be a full unbox of the saw and videos of it in action there after

As above undecided between witch one of the above to invest in for are company whitch is the best in your opinion and what are the pros and cons of both would be appreciated i figured they have been out long enough now Belated merry Christmas and a happy new year all Jayy

depends on the tractor we have some in the yard that do 60 and I think the fastracs do 85:001_tt2:

I'm sure its not the first time this has been asked but whats everyones thoughts polydyne straight out or double esterlon with polydyne dead eyes

I run a 441 on a 20 with full chisel chain great saw low vibe nicely balanced and plenty of power and torque through out the power band good all rounder IMO wether felling ringing or sectional felling

Saturday for me who's the beer on

It is indeed a golden / yellow robinia or (Robina pseudoacacia frisca ) to be exact proberley on a grafted rootstock
