Still buttons compared to its cost new, considering it’s basically as good as new.
-
“Attenuated” new one on me.

This is an 18th century sewing cabinet, made of elm I think, hand carved motifs on the front. Built in 1700 and something, cost at auction £280 quid. Second hand furniture costs buttons.

250 quid.

Legally, it depends on your tipping body. 1000/1200 kg without too much drama.

Sounds thorough. I reckon for a homeowner sort of thing would hit the spot. I have never known a pro saw user have that done, basic maintenance, filters, carbs, splines, blowing out gunk with an airline, gets done in house. Then if something is broke it gets fixed by the experts (you and your brethren) ie. if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Most of us have reserve saws for every size. Just my experience, I’m sure yours differs. Porting is a different kettle of fish. I am coming over soonish, want to pick up another 2511 and get it done straight away if you’re up for it.

Just undo the plug and let the oil piss out where it likes, stick some kind of pan under to catch the worst of it. Tighten up, refill, then don’t worry for a year or two.

What does a service involve Spud?

Worn bearings on a saw built last century? Whooda thunk it?

Felling two mature oak trees near house
Mick Dempsey replied to ashley horner's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I suppose a lot depends on how much you want to keep the trees. I would have thought as you can already get two cars on there, that some light scraping of topsoil, followed by a liberal dumping of gravel would suffice, rather than going the whole 9 yards by digging up and putting down hard standing. -
I have never lubricated either of those, on my 288 or any other saw. Zero issues with clutch bearings or bar tips (well maybe the odd bar tip over 25 years)

Looks exceedingly Scottish.

130.

Legally it can, in practice the laws of physics mean you can’t.
-
There he is, tuning a tiny saw like that perform like a 560 and all you can say is “ooh look at his shorts!” Instead of remarking on the performance.
-
Stop being such depressingly nit picking twats.
-
Agreed, if you only had one, the bigger topper is the solution.
-
No, it’s a different saw, smaller, lighter, less powerful but a superb little climbers saw. The 201/540s are more suited to takedowns.

Cane Corso? Did you get the LR to match the dog or the other way round?
-
Did you say that’s a Dogue de Bordeaux already Don?

Max wieght for a forwarder to lift?
Mick Dempsey replied to drinksloe's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
This one was a bit like that, had to be pulled through a couple of centuries old stone pillars, then twisted on the truck, too heavy and risky to lift over. lovely to watch. -
Yes, the thread about steel viper/Mobark can be found in the search facility, I can’t post links anymore for some reason.
-
Iirc there was a guy on here a little while back who was an (prospective) agent for Europe for Mobark, he put up the range of smaller chippers, they were really heavy, big and gutless in comparison to European manufacturers, don’t know what happened to him or them.

Good luck with yours and your mates. @David Cropper You can’t save them all I guess, keep us in the loop how they get on.
