  1. So you’d recommend them?
  2. Titan for me also. If you can wait they will be on offer at some point but I don’t know when that would be. I got mine towards the end of last year. Only paid £35 for it. Full price was £50 at the time of purchase.
  3. Use the husky XP oil. I put green stihl super oil in my 550 and it ran like a bag of shit more or less straight away. Sound rough like it was misfiring and wouldn’t idle. All those problems went away when I used the XP oil
  4. They changed the soles. My first pair had a Vibram sole. The next pair had a Mendel sole. Overall my last pair of Mendel boots haven’t been as good as the first pair I bought. I’m also looking at haix
  5. I had similar problems with my 201. Not Mtronic version. Took it to a recommended dealer to get the problem sorted. They fitted a new carb, ignition module and fly wheel. Parts were subsided by stihl because they knew there was a problem with the original parts. Had the work done aroundb 2018. Saw was probably 2016 ish. Still dicks about a bit now. Doesn’t like to idle until it’s hot but even then it’s not great
  6. Have a look at the Mercedes sprinter tipper. Loads of space in the cab. Good towing capacity and comfortable

    Laptop .

    Apple Mac book
  8. You can take a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink
  9. I thought the flue should be 1 inch bigger than the outlet. Not qualified on such matters though
  10. Husky’s aren’t hard to start. They just need to be put on half throttle/choke when hot
  11. Have you thought about grass seed blankets?
  12. Commercial body fittings Home | CBF WWW.CBF.UK.COM Commercial Body Fittings
  13. Give john at mason wood chippers a call.
  14. Chainsaw | Downham Market | Chainsaw Training UK Ltd | Norfolk WWW.CHAINSAWTRAININGUK.COM Welcome to Chainsaw Training UK Ltd, a family run business based in Norfolk providing industry recognised training courses for ground and aerial based chainsaw use
  15. Check the belt tension on the fly wheel. Loose belts on my chipper caused problems and on a mates chipper also. Neither were entec chippers though. Might not be the problem but costs nothing to check or tighten if you can do it yourself
  16. Oil pump knackered or a pipe has come adrift
  17. If you had any experience of cleaning up after a big job you’d mug off the expense and buy a back pack blower. Time and labour are your most expensive commodity.
  18. 73 pence per litre on the pump
  19. Mason wood chippers are good. John is really helpful. Helped me with a problem 3 years after I bought the machine from him
  20. Cut the tree down. That will stop it fruiting
  21. Mason chippers are spot on. Good company to deal with
  22. I’ve used forst chippers in the passed but never owned one. They sound like a nightmare from what everyone on here has said. I’ve got a Jensen myself. It’s been faultless apart from when it ate a pair of fencing pliers. Changed the blades and anvil and carried on using it. I find them well built. I’d buy another one when the time comes
