I doubt it! I rate the husky though I think it is better than the new stihl topper. It begs the question though why did stihl get it right but have now dropped the ball?
-
My thoughts exactly, i was very impressed considering its age! Looks solid too, reminds me of the old farm boss’s.

Bill a mate of mine thinks he has one in storage I’m nipping up to see him this week but if he doesn’t ill take you up on that kind offer!

Shame! I know now what you are aiming for ie topping and pollarding. Trees have a life expectancy that said like humans they don’t all reach it pruned, topped, pollarded or left alone.

Luckily the piece of cast with the screw which they had snapped was in the casing of the saw, spent today repairing it. Kicked it up and it sounds sweet! Next job order a bar and chain and try it out! if I think on I’ll take some more pics and maybe a video of the saw running. It has a really nice sound to it!

Absolutely not!! I was in France this year Sablet/l’orange/vaison la romaine and the amount of Planes that where in a pollard cycle was impressive. Avenues upon avenues upon avenues of planes all in a cycle they looked in excellent health and these where big trees with probably 3 options 1) pollard cycle to keep them for as long as possible 2) remove them in fear of allowing them to grow too large 3) leave them and wait for them to fail and cause damage to buildings, roads, cars, people etc. I think if the decision was mine I would have chosen the same option as the French have.

No the mix screw is on the side of the carb, the carb looks like it’s made of an alloy cast of sorts and whoever had it originally probably tried to alter the mix and instead of unscrewing it snapped it! It looks easily done to be fair but the saw looks like it hasn’t done a lot of work the exhaust is still looking new the dog teeth look new clutch etc the same so because of that I’m going to try and source a carb and get it up and running even as a back up back up or to use it every now and then out of novelty.

The mix screw has been snapped off the carb, we can get it to run but not for long but it sounds sweet. Going to see if I can get a carb for it and get it up and running. With a 14 inch bar on it it looks like it would be ok for chogging down or dropping connies. I also want want to try it to see if as an industry we have moved on or not? Definitely improved on weight saving

Come across this today so jetwashed it and tried to get it running, mainly to see what saws of yesteryear where all about. Jeez it’s heavy!

I’m tattoo’d white and ginger (prefer strawberry blonde), what’s your problem!

Haha he’s ok, yes we let him pick and choose when he wants to play out and also let him pick and choose what he wants to do. He’s good to have around and look after by doing the hard work for him as he’ll go at it longer then and the 1 thing he as in abundance is experience. Everyday is a learning day. He was impressed with your setup and said you where both good blokes so we’ll be setting an account up and ordering from you guys going forward.

Your arrogance is astounding, your also an oxymoron in the sense your willing to learn yet your against learning from people on here, or maybe your leaning on your arragonce to the fact you think your above people on here as well as over half of the numpties in the uk.
-
Strength in numbers, I wonder if Greece think there is strength in numbers? To be honest I now have the measure of you, anyone with the arrogance to think they can be nothing other than correct and to call more than 50% of the country a clueless bunch of numpties well Ill save myself some time and leave debating with you well alone. The EU is a failed state and one thing time will show is for that to be correct.

If you could personally better yourself or had the opportunity to do so would you or would you carry on as is even if you could see as is getting worse?

Ooohh good thread!

Big shout out to skyland equipment, we needed a long rigging rope ASAP and after a quick phone call last night they put one to one side, sent the father in law first thing all there ready to go.

Looking for a tip site in Golborne or Ashton in Makerfield nr Wigan.

Same, I’m covered for myself/own jobs and I suppose as my insurance is 365 days of the year I’m covered when I’m subbing however when I am subbing I’m not using my insurance it is theirs who I am subbing to that I am using if its ever needed. If something was to go wrong you would be claiming against the person/company almost like your suing them. Same applies if someone is subbing to you, your insurance should cover them.
