Yea, it should and I always have it to the max. I just find that an 18 on a 261, especially when ringing up doesn't seem lubed enough. I've not burnt a bar yet or anything but I just find that it's pretty dry compared to a 15. That's with Stihl synthplus.
-
I've read through and sorry if I missed this but what size bar and what saw? I'm find my 261 doesn't really oil the 18" enough and it gets a little dry. Runs a 15 fine though
-
Nothing really wrong, just nose heavy with a 41. A 36 would be more ballanced and nicer to use for crosscutting. Also the scabbard for a 41 is 46" so it gets annoying to transport! It probably would if I didn't have the Stihl quick fill adapters on it makes it slightly too high 🙁

@Big J maybe you know the man I seek?

I'd go with beach or maybe olive. Leylandii get out of control quickly and from my experience of Bay, they do exactly the same. Our neighbors have Bay and we are forever pulling it out of our garden, the trees need regular trimming and the hedges grow out of control quickly. Handy if you need a bay leaf though, I rob them for pizza sauces! 😂 -
Funny story... So my mill arrived and I assembled that etc. I need to get a 36" bar because the 41 is rediculous but if I use it then it's a "second hand" one as opposed to factory fresh! On an annoying note, I bent the E clip when took the clutch off to lubricate the needle bearing which was dry 🤦🏼 I bent it back but I have some new ones coming from l&s! Hopefully have it in the wood next week!

Well, yea. But I don't know anyone locally who uses over 3500. Even the big arb contactor for utilities have 3500 transits and sprinters. But I agree. Just keep under 4500 and it's a fine I guess 😂🤷🏼♂️

Could get some trellis work built ontop the wall and put some nice climbers up? Depends on the look you're going for really? Anything but F******* leylandii 😂😂 -
I was tempted by that... Need to find someone who makes one of good size! There's ones online but they're pathetic!
-
Don't suppose you have his number or details? Can't find him on Google!

Yea I wouldn't ever leave anything expensive in there! Saws and utility rods would come out. It's all insured but I want to leave my felling levers, first aid kit, odd ropes, fuel, sharpening kits etc etc in there. Stuff that is all pennies but causing me a massive headache to load and unload every day just to protect myself from an opportunist who might open the back. Plus having to unload my van onto a customer's driveway and then keep an eye on my kit is really annoying! My other option is having it only open from the passenger side. I park the van about 6 inches from the garden wall so if I had a door type tool cab it would be inaccessible when parked!
-
Yea the weight is an issue. Went to a local company that does compost. Weigh in at 2740 and one scoop of compost and it was 4950 😂😂😂

Hi everyone, So I want to get a bit cut off the tipper on my 2015 transit and a tool cab installed. I'm sick to death of loading and unloading the thing every single day. Anyone know of any good companies? I would also consider having a lighter back installed. On the weighbridge the other day it was 2740 empty with no kit and a driver 😳
-
I'm interested in the answer to this too? What made you choose who you chose?
-
I suppose so 😕 I guess trees are the only thing you can destroy that can't be replaced like a bus stop! Hopefully this doesn't become a thing!
-
I wonder what the motive is. The trees are being taken down all over the place. Such a weird thing to do if it's just vandalism
-
In snickers workwear. None of that Dickies garbage 😂 To be fair, he must not have much tree work on, he usually posts up all his quotes on here to save his customers time

Best by far is Automatrics Mtrack. Check out the videos on youtube. They aren't cheap but worth every penny. They have GPS but also Phone and VHF. If they put it in a shipping container then it can still be found where other units won't get GPS so just be offline. They also do tiny units too so you can hide them. They have been out and found excavator implements that have trackers in

Right, which one of you is it 😂 https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/apr/08/chainsaw-massacre-surrey-police-hunt-phantom-lumberjack-along-river-thames
-
That's a shame. I need to do my ones and I keep putting it off, need to do a proper kit list with s/no on them!
-
Sorry to hear that. What happened? Pop up the serial numbers if you have them?
-
If it's a fresh loler then yes, you will usually require all the receipts for new gear. I found this out when I lolered my fresh gear and spend about 12 hours finding every receipt and printing them off as I did the same as you and got it from about 20 different places at different times. Depends on what your loler guys like too and how they charge as some charge more for the first inspection as they have to write everything down etc but I made a table up with everything listed, when it was first used (date on receipt) and it's serial number. They knocked a bit off the price as I saved them a tonne of time noting everything down.

Genuine question. If you're piling then why the concern about stump grinding? Having it a couple of inches lower won't make any difference at all will it? Better off firing some ecoplugs into it if growback is a concern?

Anyone want to buy a new 41" bar and chain?
Paddy1000111 replied to Paddy1000111's topic in General chat
Oh crap! That helps, it's a genuine Stihl bar and chain in .404 -
Ken is a top bloke to work for too! 👌
