Magic rat

Morso squirrel recommendations from me. Had it in the living room for about 15 years, it's lit every winter evening. I've replaced 1 side brick and throat baffle in all those years. Easy to light, clean and kicks the heat out.

I went for the FS 460, what a beast of a cutter. Plenty power never gets bogged down or the head wrapped up with crap. With the mulching kit on it eats brambles and brush. I run it on Aspen, starts first time runs faultlessly, harness is not much cop so bought a husky balance X one.

I've had a work double cab Navara for 6 years. Think it's the Renault engine. Other than a heater matrix being replaced at 20K it's been a good truck. It's currently got 130,000 on the clock and still going strong. Regularly do 200 + miles a day in it,it pulls boats, horse boxes and works off road. Will sit on motorway at 80 all day,or drive up to N Wales on little roads with plenty poke. Far better than the two previous Defender TD5 's which were always in for repair and 1/2 the price. The drivers seats a bit worn, other than that no issues.

Nope mine dosent have a plug, i wondered about greasing. Did some Google'ing at the time and Stihl says its to prevent over greasing and pressurising the bearings or some such. Suppose car wheel bearings last a lifetime without regreasing, only time will tell! Beast of a machine though.

Mines an 11 plate,with snug top back on in grey.was about £12,000 when new but company bought 10 of em which is why they were cheap. Came with climate control,Bluetooth,alloys ect as standard. I think out of all of them i tried the Toyota was the best but came in the most basic spec,when you started adding bits to bring it up to the same level of spec the price got too high. The Rodeo was ok ,just not as good as the Navara imo. The ford was agricultural in comparison was due for a major update,which i think they did the next year,not driven one of the new ones. Test drive a few see what you think.

I trailed both for a week at a time and the Toyota. We eventually went for Navara's. The Isuzu was better than the Ford,but a bit plasticky. Navara( accenta) was just nicer to drive,stronger,more bhp,better standard extras. Only thing I've changed on it are the headlight bulbs,higher wattage ones fitted. It's on 120,000 miles still going strong.

I've got the 8 ton lawnflyte petrol one think it's the same as the Titan,had it two years. Had a problem last month with the ram not returning, but it just needed adjusting. I've found it to be fine,splits everything I've thrown at it old oak,sycamore,ash,pine. Frugal on fuel,i store it indoors during winter and in wood shed during summer, weighs 125 kg so takes two people to shift has small wheels. I split on top of another round of wood as the ram is high from the plate, only got a small sized log burner, Morso squirrel .

I get it very occasionally with mine,when there is no wind at all. I open every vent and door and light a bit of newspaper to warm the flue. Blowtorch is a good idea never thought of that.

I've got the sthil version of one if those in the shed, never use it if you want one? ( as new)

Evening folks bought a new FS360 cm brush cutter a few months ago, I'm extremely impressed with it but not getting on with the Stihl harness that came with it.I find the shoulder straps slip off my shoulders. Can people recommend a good replacement one? Husqvarna balance xt harness looks nice, anyone recommend it, best price. Cheers.

I had a poke and a prod,cleaned it up can't get it going. I'll take it in tomorrow,wheels are pretty crappy for something that weighs 125 kg!

I was thinking it might be that rod,I've had a look and can't see anything stuck in there. I wondered if it had vibrated loose inside somewhere. I'll try as you suggest and give it a whack. It did slow down a few times on the return before it stopped though!

Morning folks, need some advice on the above splitter. Got a problem splitting this morning, return action got slower for a couple of returns then stopped in the down position and won't return. Engine running fine, hydraulic oil level good. No leaks or pipes loose. Any suggestions, before I have to return it, which is a faff to drag it on wet ground to where I can get a trailer to.

Good choice, I'm v happy with my 362 c-m. Enjoy.

My Nav's now done 108,000only problem was a heater matrix which went around 10,000. Love it, far better than the two new Defenders I had before! 90 county cost £15.000 alone in repair/servicing over the 150,000 miles I had it for.

I'm running mine on Aspen,starts first pull when hot, I don't bother with decom valve. About 12 tanks now, just keeps getting better.

After much deliberation I went with 362 c-m and I'm pretty impressed with it. 18 inch bar,which I replaced with a sugi hara 18. I was a bit rough at tick over at the start and stalled a few times,so I did the mtronic set up and run it on aspen fuel. It's had 6 tanks through it now and running sweet as a nut. Very powerful,for a 60 cc saw. I like the captive bar nuts,great air filter system,stainless muffler,mtronic carb,newly designed tool less oil and filler caps. I turned the oil pump up to maximum as I read it could be a bit frugal,but with an 18 inch bar it's throwing loads of oil out,think I'll put it back to the E setting. I've only had a couple of Stihl saws before,which was a wood boss and a 039 ( which I don't seen to have a photo of) n

If a mod could change the title typo that would be great. Ta.

Or even a 362!

Big thank you for the guys at Chainsawbars.(Lawrence and Rob) New bar for MS362c-m,great service and freebies. 18" sugi light type,on freshly cleaned saw,cut well today. Plenty dry sycamore and ash. Saw getting better and better, now on 7 th tank of aspen.

FS460 for me,what a beast of a machine. Cleared an acre of 6' high brambles and brush using the shredder blade,never missed a beat. Shredder blade smashes it to bits right down to the roots. I run it with stihl 3 mm line when using the 2 line head,seems to last ages on a full head.

Morning folks,been lurking for a while thought I'd better introduce myself as a new member. Not worked in the industry but had chainsaws and other kit for years. Started in the usual way buying crap saws as cash was tight. I cut wood for heating,when I first bought the current house it had a solid fuel Central heating wood burner,as you can imagine this involved cutting and drying loads of wood. Now it's just two Morso squirrels to feed. I live in Wales with two acres of land which I manage for fuel, mainly ash, sycamore, pine old apple trees. Owned lots if saws started with Mcculloch crap then half decent Echo. Inherited a Sthil 28 wood boss,years ago which was first quality saw ,then purchased a 039 farm boss which served me for years,never had a problem with it Father in law and I got tons if wood from Brechfa Forrest on £20 clearance tickets,not sure if they still do them nowadays . 039 was getting a bit tired so I recently invested in a new MS362c-m,still running it in, its on its 5 th tank of Aspen. Was running a bit rough on tick over and stalled a few times,I did the mtronic re sett didn't seem to change much, hope it gets better more it's used ! Also got a recent ES460 cem brush cutter with excellent shredder blade,Lawnflite petrol splitter,takes the effort of splitting big rounds. Built a 20'x20' open fronted wood store few years ago best thing I ever did to store and dry wood. Other kit,Honda HRX mower,stihl 4 cycle hedge trimmer,blower shredder. Learnt the lesson of buy cheap buy lots of times. Great site with fantastic info .
