Can anyone shed any light on what exactly is going on here?

I hope you felled it to teach it a lesson

Only just got to look at it.  It looks ok on the face of things as far as im concerned.  And I can't wait to get my commemorative 50p coin!

So why is it only 261 saws that attract these muppets ?

Not knowing the inner workings of a muppets mind i'm not suitably qualified to answer this question sir

I'm down on last year for sure.  Still have enough to do at the moment but could really do with more to come in soon.

Perhaps everyones too busy spending all their money in beer gardens

i dont think any of them are its just down to the muppet, who either maintains or supposed to maintain it how many people on here take the clutch drum off and grease the bearing or replace the 70 pence needle bearing on a regular basis like once or twice a week if the saw is used regularly and lets face it in the present climate we have grease does not hold its viscosity so quickly vanishes, had a lot of stihls over the years ( inc 261s) and had very little trouble with any of them ,BUT one guy who worked with us had a 261 2014 and all he did to that saw was put fuel n oil in it and clean the air fillter now n then , 2 years later he tells me its fuckrd loads of play in the clutch drum ,we took it of put new bearing in and it still had play but no where near as much , put a caliper on crank shaft and it had a slight tapper on it ,so he took it to get it sorted about £300 later he had a saw that had no play in the clutch drum, so i gave him a £1.80 tube of grease and 2 spare 70p bearings and told him to grease it more often as if he had of done it more than likely been ok.

Yep what he said!

yes please, B!

What’s the magic number 10, Mike?

10 employees, thats when you start making real money, anything else between 2 and 10 is just that...inbetween.

When you get to 10 you should be able to afford a manager to deal with the headaches, step back, and rake in the profits 

+1 for the loader and 3-1 bucket.  At least you have a machine that can do a range of tasks then

As title.  Does this count for much in the UK?  I know it seems to be a big thing in the USA.  Looking for things to add to my personal repetoir.  Would companies value this in a potential employee or freelancer?

And another one

 Bastard Service tree?

Do we get many of those over here?  Can't say I have seen one, not knowingly anyway

Anyone tried the Stein Werewolfs?

Had similar happen to me.  The customer on that occassion took it on himself to leave negative feedback on my facebook business page.  Took about 3 weeks to get facebook to remove it

Tidy unit!  Will pop over and have a look Friday

Had the same experience as Matthew.  Should be ok in the short term but get it sorted asap or you're just throwing your money away

Was there any interest in this at all?
