  1. if weight is a big thing, i recommend a 261 and convert it to picco keeps up with my 560 now and is a good amount lighter
  2. depending on area in the south east, i could possibly take a little as well
  3. No saul A 500i Even lighter and even faster ???
  4. send it to Buckin if it stops working, you'll make his day
  5. thank you, i did see 1 picture of this being done but couldn't really find anything else out about doing it, pretty capable little mill
  6. covid has seriously affected suppliers and everyone in between so give em some time it's a shit hard time promising when stuff is gonna be delivered at the moment, especially when borders r involved as well! just have to have some patience, take up knitting while u wait ?
  7. if anyone has a clean 661 for sale, DM me pls ?
  8. cheers mate that's good, pretty sure i can remember seeing the pics of when you broke it!! hopefully if i get a lo pro 28" that should cover most things! cheers
  9. hi, on the M7, what bar do people run, am i correct in thinking that it would take a lo pro 30" on a 660 or what do people recommend please? what's the max slab you can cut, someone said 36" or something but not sure what is actually possibly any tips, tricks & pics would be great ?
  10. hi bob, thanks alot for that, proper helpful cheers
  11. right then, what are these Lo Pro set ups like? thinking about getting a 36" set up for my 660? it's ported so got got some good poke (to lowest limits so it's fine for milling before u kick off) i have an 880 as well set up with a 36, anyone here run a 660 with a lo pro 36 and also a 880 running 404 on a 36, if so, if u have both of them sitting there, what do u pick up? really interested as i've thought about selling 880 as i don't use it much and then changing over to lo pro on 660 over and out

    Husqvarna 550

    would i be right in saying a 261 would probably be more reliable tho!! don't get me wrong, i do have a 560 however, since converting me 261 to run a 16" on picco and done a muffler mod, i pick it up rather than the 560 and that's running a 562 air filter and muffler mod on a 15"
  13. Sold the digger and I've found something so we'll see what happens!! ?
  14. pls mill as much of that butt as u can! looks like there is some spalting in there
  15. cheers, it'll be just over 20k inc vat which is a bit outside budget atm!!
  16. My bad!! Have corrected it!! Thanks ?
  17. Yeh that could be the better option thanks Gotta do the polite thing and offer it on here first!!! But yeh, if any does fancy a deal Let me know ?
  18. As title suggests, anyone thinking of selling one, ideally an avant, pls let me know If interested in a part ex with cash my way for my takeuchi tb016 with 2943 hrs new dipper end, pins, bushes and shims, 3 buckets PM me Cheers
  19. best way to explain a 500i is to imagine a saw that picks up and cuts like a 560 but is 80cc
  20. had a 462 owner and lover on a job and he now wants a 500i having used one biggest thing i love is you've got an 80cc saw which weighs the same as much as a 60cc 560
  21. The milling king is back Best work as always mate Proper job that ?
  22. yup, they are a nice saw i can't see how you'd blow a nose would go if they make small bars to fit the small saws. may not last quite as long maybe, i dunno i used to run a 21" on my 880 currently run a 16" 3/8 picco on my 261 along with a muffler mod, that's v fast and i often pick it up rather than my 560 and that's on a 15
  23. i have a 16 that fits mine it's unbalanced but fun and quick normally just run 20 on 500
  24. roughhewn told me to never get anything other than a stihl one
  25. There is a difference but not worth what you'll save Lower resale value too as noone wants them! My ifor has electric tip and also manual if needs ever be
