I'm hoping to find someone who sells un prosesed wood nr York, I will probably be looking to buy 10ton in the new year so I can get it cut/split & stacked for next winter. I would need someone who can deliver as I find it difficult getting any amount in the back of my qashqai lol I'm not sure on how much I can expect to pay as my last 2 loads have been from a 'friend' but unfortunately the last lot is not up to much but by the time I realised what it was it had been dumped on my drive

I had the baby c110 for 3 yrs & was so impressed that I replaced it with the c120 which is more than enough for car cleaning & the path/patio, I will never buy any other brand of pw It's worth looking on amazon for offers & also cleanstore.Co. uk
-
Yes I did mean white top lol Its all geþing too much for me
-
I'm starting to think my local dealer just wanted to sell me a new saw. Just about everyone else is saying the black top parts will fit my orange top saw, I have had an offer of a black top saw at a good price but I just don't want to put another £50 into this if it's going to end up wasted
-
I've got no idea at all But I ended up buying a mitox 16" bar for less that £150 with 2 yrs domestic garantee. I know it's not up to pro spec but as long as it cuts my firewood I will be happy. Now just need to decide if I mess with the husky or just sell it for parts. I can't find anything for it & as it's probably an early 80s saw is it really worth messing with? ? Rob
-
Just been to my local machinery shop who advised the black top & white top are not interchangeable So now I'm undecided about what to do as I don't fancy ending up with 2 saws that don't work
-
Does anybody know if the parts from the black top model will fit on the white top model that I have?? I'm struggling to get parts & a member has offered to sell me a black top model for parts Rob
-
That sound good to me at least I should have everything to make one good saw that will last a few yrs.
-
Great offer 👍 so far I'm needing air filter but how much would you want for the whole saw? I would just need to sort out getting then
-
That would be very helpful thank you, I'm not going to give up just yet. The only others I've seen as running are £150 so I guess even if I put £100 into it im still doing ok Rob
-
I've managed to get the pull start working (just about) it has good spark but ive found the air filter is missing I just have the plate on the carb, now I'm thinking I need to check the barrel as no doubt it was run without the filter. Need to find a good place for bits as I can't find stuff on eBay. Maybe I should have just bought a new 135 😂😂
-
Would I be right in thinking this is incomplete ? If so will it be model specific?? Thanks
-
My thought is it's got to be better that a Chinese cheepo & when I've finished playing with it I will know exactly what is what.
-
So I just bought an unloved husky for £50 The saw run fine last time it was used 2yrs ago (I was there) but since then it's just been stuck under the bench in a garage. My plane is strip/clean & hopefully get running, my question is was it worth it or have I just bought a door stop? Any advice is welcome Rob
-
Thanks for the help 👍 I did message a guy on here about the dolmar420 but it's more than I want to spend but I've also woke up to a message from a friend on Facebook who has an old husky I can have for less than £100 so I'm going to have a look what modle it is and go from there.
-
It's my 1st proper saw, the aldi one served me well but I can't get parts so I'm left with no option but to spend, local guy only seems interesting in pushing the miltox so I will more than likely buy online. I think I'm leaning more towards the husky due to the bigger engine but who knows 😂😂
-
The only reason the Mrs has a say is because I like my man parts & ive been on a bit of a spending spree the last couple of months I was starting to think the stihl/husky debate is a lot like canon/Nikon when it comes to dslr camera. My tight Yorkshireman side still says to buy which ever stihl/husky my local machinery guy is selling at the £200mark. Who knew buying a chainsaw would be so difficult
-
Tbh I think I could be very tempted with second hand but the Mrs likes the new with guarantee & not abused buy others 👍 I've been reading more on here & was wondering is the husky 435 worth the extra over the 135? £280 instead of £185 yet doesn't seem much different on specks
-
I was looking at older ones but a few guys round here said unless it's been serviced I need to allow another £80-£100 for service/check over
-
As a Yorkshireman I'm always on a budget but I'm happy to go to £250 but I've found the husqvarna for £185 from forest&arb which I'm leaning towards
-
Evening everyone I've joins as I'm looking for a new chainsaw. My aldi special has done nearly 2yrs & just under 20 ton of log cutting but finally died today oil pump & worn drive teeth, I'm looking at the stihl 171/181 or the husqvarna 135 even though my local machinery shop recommend the mitox.
