If you've got the work coming in, lease hire, don't save up, you're just wasting time.

My 90hp would do the same. Ambient temperature can affect cooling for sure. Just make sure there's coolant in there and keep an eye on it. Pound to a penny there's no problem

It'll be fine, trees can't read equations. Crack on.

Easier in the winter, it gets dark earlier. Spend less time on Arbtalk.

Chogging down? Then 560/372 -
I've said it before, but the 550 is as light as a feather after a 562/560 and lightning fast.

<p>Good, what day do you think you'll be along? A packet of fruit pastilles will be fine!</p>

As I thought, maybe the springs (if they are intact) are so worn they are not doing anything. As to what will need replacing I can't answer that I'm afraid, it's no big deal though, if that's all that's wrong with it you've got a good'un.

It started silly, and got sillier.

Ok, until someone who really knows what they're talking about comes along...... Take off the bar, chain and side cover, like your photo. Start it up, the outer part of the clutch should not turn whilst the saw is idling. Only when you rev it should the clutch "shoes" open (fighting the springs) to turn the outer part which powers the chain. Try that.
-
When you say it won't start, do you mean it turns over the same as when the brake is off? Or does it feel heavier and more difficult to pull so you don't generate enough speed for it to fire?
-
Clutch springs? Not too big a problem. You can see if they're broken by looking through the clutch apparatus.

I have to say tae Kwan do or whatever it's called is the lamest martial art I've seen. The fight between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth in Bridget's Jones diary was more gripping.

It's all going off in Cornwall. Tescos is shut in Liskeard due to a seagull invading the store and pecking a shoppers face. And no, I'm not working this afternoon!

I'm not going to listen to 3 hours of that Kevin! All I can get is an old guy with dark urine. Is it in the last ten minutes of the three hour show?

Agreed, 29 trees don't just fail. Shoddy planting or aftercare, only explanation.

A grand each? I would be surprised if that was the real price.

In response. The original post was a bit more than an enquiry as to whether anyone else had noticed this issue. It was a high octane moan about build quality before you had even talked to the manufacturer. It wasn't right, and they are sorting it. It's a bit like a client bitching on Facebook about some work you had done before giving you a chance to come back and fix it. If they'd denied it or tried to weasel out of it in some way I would completely understand. Anyway, happy ending.

Aspen arb on here has put grease able bearings on a 150. I've had to replace two aluminum fins over the (13) years. I think they (orange plant) said the newer replacement were less likely to break.

Fruits of the Forest Solero was my little peccadillo on the drive back from London on a hot summers afternoon.

Thanks for posting. Question: did you hire the crane just for that tree?

The older you get the less hard you have to work because you know all the little tricks to make easier. There's a massive difference between spurring up and topping a conifer then ringing it down without a clear up, compared to a fiddlearse spurless reduction over four gardens, then dragging the brush through a tight passageway, with a bit of "help" from a stoned teenage groundy (with a two hour each way drive into central London) The first you could do into your dotage, the second is a younger mans game. Both tree work though.
