    Why do they still have this dreadful panel gap in their design? Looks terrible. (I know it's in part for Stihl's crap air intake filtration system.)

    Toolstoday has them in stock. I have a used one i might sell, rapidly running out of money. ☹
  3. Moose McAlpine
    Mmm, that's what i'm thinking. Either an 18 or 20 for it.

    I spent a week basaling limes for a council and spent all of it covered in aphids and spiders.

    I would happily forfeit the hairy chest to not have to deal with that.

    Sticky ones covered in sap and pitch. ? I like conifers, i don't like cleaning everything in isopropyl to get the sap off though.

    I have a 15" on my 550 and it rips. Needs an 18" really. Not sure why you'd want less than a 15" on that. 13" on a 440 is a bit ridiculous. Big heavy saw for a small bar. Something similarly ridiculous:

    It's called a ChipperMaster, made by Bernhard. https://www.bernhard.co.uk/

    Recently seen used 395s selling for more than i've paid for a new one. Demand will always be there, you'll always need big saws for the biggest trees, but emissions regs are making it hard for manufacturers. They're still available in lots of markets, i'm tempted to import some to sell. 881s are out now, around £1,600 apparently.

    Could you've put that retaining washer on the wrong side and the spring tension pulled the clutch packs off the centre assembly?
  11. Moose McAlpine
    Blimey!

    Apparently on sale in Ireland already.

    I think FR Jones & Son do LOLER testing. They're in Sydenham.

    When i had a garage at my old house. It was pretty packed, but there wasn't much i couldn't do/make/fix with all the equipment in there. Got even more stuff now.. ?
  15. Moose McAlpine
    Look up Dexion and Raaco. They make very good stuff like that.

    I'll give you a call in a bit mate. Got Husky 3120XP and 395XP with 36" bars on both.
  17. Moose McAlpine
    When are you doing it? I'm not far and i have two big saws with 36" bars.
  18. Moose McAlpine
    There's another one on there now. Yeah, i did ok with mine and it was only half an hour away. It's pretty much new, and sees little use. I was talking to a mate recently about importing some new 395s and 3120s, may do that some time if there's any demand.
  19. Moose McAlpine
    There've been a few on eBay lately, they do crop up from time to time. I think it was either 700 or 900, not sure. Came with a 36" hard-nose bar, 2 chains. Saw had been used once to cut down 3 trees. Practically brand new. I think it's a 2017, not sure off-hand.
  20. Moose McAlpine
    Nah, i'm keeping it. It has its uses despite being a big fat heavy thing.
  21. Moose McAlpine
    I've only used it a couple times, for cutting big stumps low and for ringing up a couple big stems. Partly using it for the sake of it. Got a 395 to use instead next time.
  22. Moose McAlpine
    Yeah, it's a pretty miserable thing to use really. Not impressed, shouldn't've bought it.
  23. Moose McAlpine
    Bloody hell! Is that what they use? I bought a 3120XP for milling, which i kinda regretted the moment i paid for it and picked it up off the ground, discovering the damn thing weighs about 15kg fully dressed. I knew it was thirsty but 2 tanks per slab might make it completely uneconomical for me. ?

    Firm i'm doing work for has a number of grinders, some DanEquips, an old twin-wheeled Vermeer with hydraulic slewing head, a wheeled Rayco and a Bandit ZT. The Bandit is the most-used by far and by all acounts a very good machine. I recently replaced the cutting wheel due to oval'd holes but it's worked hard. It's tracked, very narrow, fits through most doorways. I'm told it's about £16k, but they rate it very highly at this firm.

    What's that saying about low expectations and disappointment? ?
