    That's a brave spot to put the six way valve!

    4 years or more since I got a noco and it's only now starting to lose its oomph. Has started all manner of machine including the mog. Good little device, but I have noticed it's no longer up to starting larger engines. Wouldn't be without one all the same. Its proved useful during power cuts and when camping too. I usually keep it topped up from the 12v charger in the jeep, it might get a full mains charge twice a year, this may have had an effect on it.

    Its not what you were looking for, but on lighter laurel and conifer jobs I use an iseki sxg 19 with collector. Similar machines would do the same job. It's not ideal but it sucks up more than you would think, providing you crawl along. Reduces the bulk a lot and you can tip straight into a trailer, saving most of the raking up. At a guess I'd say it removes 70% of the clippings, bit of blowing and a few minutes of raking is still required. But much reduced.

    It's better than the result of putting the milk in first, then the teabag into the cold milk, followed by luke warm water and a limp wristed stir without even squeezing the bag on removal. I figured it'd be more polite to not drink it at all than chance spewing it across the kitchen table.

    Do not get a duster. My brother got one recently. I've been in it. I even brought it around the lanes for a test drive. I was surprised by both its significant understeer and poor ground clearance. As a result we are not currently speaking. Lifting it out of the ditch with the telehandler may not have helped. Parts are cheap though.

    I have the same 2511 since 2017-18. It's had a couple of recoils but that's partly because i sometimes overdo it on the pull. Needed a clutch assy a year or two back but its never given me any trouble starting or cutting out as some people have experienced. To be honest it isn't used daily but it is used weekly and lives in the jeep, so exposed to a bit of dirt and moisture. Mines still standard because I'm boring so I can't speak on how they take mods and I've never had a 150 so can only compare to my own saws.192(shit saw) and a 200t which I rarely use at all now, going from the 2511 to either the echo 501 (solid saw. Reliable but under powered) husky 550 (great when it runs right but often gives trouble) or stihl 261 (was my go to of the three but hasn't been behaving lately) In short, I would recommend a 2511 in small wood but if you're regularly cutting above 10 or 12 inches go bigger.

    Polish are the same, weak tea and more often than not only uht milk too. The food usually makes up for it though!

    Had a customer bring out home made kombucha once. I never went back.

    If you're not wanting to spend a lot and looks don't matter, just sprayfoam the lot. Won't do the metal any good but should be OK for long enough. Any other option is more time and money for the same end result. The only thing about that foam is the smell lingers so the store will have to air out for a few days before restocking.

    Beech hedge doing the same here at home, a serious spurt of growth too, not just a leaf or two but 8 to 10 inches of growth here and there. Never seen beech so vigorous. Not going to do them any good when the frost arrives.

    Forks and standard bucket came with the deal. I added a fingerbar, flail, grab bucket and yard scraper then converted the auger and log grab off the 3 ton to fit. Next items will probably be box rotator and root baller. 4 in 1 bucket would be on the list too and some sort of man basket for hedge trimming. (Not that there's anything wrong with the ibc frame)

    Is diesel getting to the injectors? Worth cracking the fuel lines at the injector and checking, could be a blockage in the tank, lines or fuel filter.
  13. Conor Wright
    Not if you take the bottom half first
  14. Conor Wright
    Looks good. Hope the new venture works out well for ya.
  15. Conor Wright
    Starter solenoid sticking? I've had a couple go on the blink for a while before packing up completely.
  16. Conor Wright
    No idea of the build cost but it was on the market at 6.8m canadian dollars a couple of years back. It's one of those "if I had the money" projects alright! A man can dream though.
  17. Conor Wright
    this is what you need!
  18. Conor Wright
    Thank you. That goes on the "to buy" list.
  19. Conor Wright
    Nice. Can the rotator be fitted onto the standard avant forks or is it a complete unit?
  20. Conor Wright
    Same as avant 630

    Usually they wouldn't but I know them and they're keen to see what it can do, so I said give me the lot and I'll give honest feedback. It's a new venture for them too. Machine is €35k with bucket and forks Flail and hedgecutter are 3.5 and 3 respectively
  22. Conor Wright
    Have this rather smart looking thing for a week long demo Machine is a neomach nova x30. 26hp kubota, 1.1 ton lift 2.85mtr reach 3 sets of flow and return, case drain and 2x12v connections. on demo with a muratori flail and slanetrac fingerbar. So far I'm reasonably impressed.

    2511 is a great little saw. Not owned a 151 but it would be hard to beat the echo, its true the plastic is softer, but it's not badly put together and they are a joy to use. Mine is from 2017, so i think the older, carb trouble prone model. It has never skipped a beat for me although it is on its third or fourth recoil. That's mostly my fault though. I'm a heavy handed animal and I break things.

    I'd rather have genital warts than a briggs efi. Diesel or, even better a clean well maintained, older and more powerful machine without the stupid emmisons extras.

    661

    Conor Wright replied to teresa green's topic in Chainsaws

    Same as Bob above, I've run a 42 on a 660 milling, has to be perfectly sharpened though. Have a 32 for it but not used it since getting an 880. Usually use it with a 24 now, it just falls through wood. I'd say anything over 30-32 is pushing it for constant, full bore use.
