I have a ported 150,great little saw,i tried the echo 2510,the predecessor to the 2511 and it was a great little saw too,although i only got to use it for a day. By all accounts the echo 2511 is good little saw. Theres a thread on the echo 2510/2511 on here. Difficult choice,depends what you need the saw for,dismantles or pruning. If it was me id be lookin at the 2511,even a ported 150 has its limitations. That threads called tiny echo think its on the chainsaw forum

If all you reports are about immigrants commiting crimes...dont bother,i can look up statistics and reports too counter yours but id rather speak my own mind not quote others
-
A swedish report from 1996 is your idea of evidence that crimes are perpitrated by non nationals. 1400 white girls raped in rotherham... The key word here is white. Is rape just a crime against whites. Go look up how many girls have been attacked by whites because they wear a hijab,or are of "muslim" appearance. 2 americans were attacked on a train in glasgow last week because they "looked" like muslims,the attackers- 6 teenagers-were heard shouting f#@# off home ya taliban bastards. There are crimes,horrible crimes against people of all races and nationalities but YOU consistantly highlight those perpitrated by non nationals against whites. We can see right through you... Your rhetoric is getting tiresome..we scream racist because you are...

He (definately a he) most likely truley believes he's not bigoted or racist but a realist. Those beliefs have been indoctrinated and compounded by generations of people around him,what we see as repulsive is the norm too some. Sad really...
-
Judging by the views put forth by matelot on this thread id say he has bigoted opinions based on religion,nationality and ethnicity. Pointless asking for confirmation of what is blatantly obvious imo.
-
So you cant call someone out on being racist because they served in the forces. Bollocks! Ive earned the queens coin,i seen some things i didnt like,seen some heroics and not just by our own guys but by the Iraqi army. Myself and people like me fought to make sure others in far away nations had a say in what went on in there country just as we do. Everyone has a right to voice there opinion even if we dont like it.

Be careful,people may start to think your actually a decent bloke

Look forward too it...can i have a pickle as well..??

:lol:

Matelots your man for that,he's been quiet of late... Perhaps he's gone to a brown shirt rally..

Pfanners are great trousers but as you say very expensive. Im not a fan of the trousers that are overly forestry orange,i have the xfits again hard to justify the price tag. The still economy trousers are decent for the price but the all black colour will most definetly assist in cooking your balls in the warmer months. My favs are stihl hiflex...the material isnt that great against thorns or brambles but a medium fits me perfectly,and theyre light and allow for movement up the tree. Personally i think the prices of trousers are rediculous espescially the popular named brands stihl husky and pfanner.

I reckon a turf tiger would fit on a medium sized trailer
-
Turf tigers are compact
-
Buy your own.I work for my local authority and we get issued basic trousers which are fit for purpose-but only just. Comfort and practicality are very important
-
I dont know where you are based in the UK but all the training providers in Scotland would insist on type c all round protection trousers. I really recommend you go to an arb shop or and arb show and try on trousers as the fit depends greatly on your build and shape. Try to get light comfy trousers that allow you freedom of movement ie you can bring your kees up to your chest,spread your legs and so forth. Trust me when i say trousers that are comfy,light and allow freedom of movement are very important,and pretty expensive. Hope this helps good luck mate
-
Nope-most training providers insist on type c trousers for cs39 chainsaw from a rope and harness.

This..100% bang on.Particularly on the rescue climber,self rescue would always be the prefered method unless your unconscious of course.

Of course it just me,i can only evaluate and recomend a saw on my own experience and in my experience 135 is a pig. I had a 180 that never let me down started first time every time,lasted for donkeys years and i didnt even change the plug. Great little saws and good power to weight ratio. Ive used a 181 aswell dunno what year it was but again a good little saw to cut.Didnt have any problems with oil leaking out
-
Nooooooooooooh.....dont do it. Seriously ive got one and its below average... infact if im entirely honest its crap. Its difficult to start,its overly heavy for its power ratio,the guidebar is made of paper mache and most irritating is the oil top up resevoir is right under the side handle making it a pain in the arse to carry a combi spanner to open it. Seriously dont do it... 180 quid wasted. Stihl 180/181 ahem
-
Dont like the saw hanging on the strop ring cause the chain catch's on my cutting trousers(ive only got little legs)so its bounces off the backs of my knees.Dont like it dangling at full strop length cause im constantly pulling it up and down to cut and its difficult moving around tighter canopies without the fecker gettin caught in unions or summit. Just a wee pet peeve of mine
-
Yeah ive done that more than a couple of times,i just dont like it dangling on my harness unless its at the full length of the strop...which is also a pita to pull up to cut all the time.
-
I know its bad practice but i put the 150 side handle onto a gateless caritool,dunno if its the small or medium caritool but its defo not the large
-
Stihl 180/181,bullet proof little saws,good power to weight ratio and very simple to sort if owt goes wrong(rarely happens in my experience) Dont touch a husky 135...its 180 quid for a reason.

News report said a neck injury,we can only speculate at this point as too how it occured. Terrible news,best wishes to his crew and family.

Gaining Experience in Scotland. Any advice?
stihlmadasever replied to Sapling 001's topic in Training & education
I live in the central belt of Scotland,climb for my local authority (Try not too judge-were hard working guys) and subby for some companies.I find the larger companies have guys all year round but the landscapers and gardeners who get the odd tree job pay better. These are the guys i tend to get work from although its sporadic and mostly in the spring/summer . The oppertunities lie down south,i see adverts for climbers in England all the time.
