Echo offerings may be good to look at. we run the 621x or whatever its called, 60cc pro saw. heaps of grunt, build quality more solid than the 60cc stihls or huskys, starts so easy everytime. Slightly down on power and heavy compared to the other 2 brands but id bet my house it will outlast them

I love these old trucks. My dream is a URAL 4320 with a crane on it. 75-90L per 100km fuel consumption apparently lol
-
Don't buy used off eBay, 50% chance its stolen and 50% chance its not got much life left in it. People don't sell good stuff

I've got the Milwaukee telescopic pole saw, and is brutally powerful... August Hunicke has a 14" bar on his. Ease of use, power, weight it beats the petrol ones on all fronts imho, plus its nice not getting a mouth full of fumes when your holding it up trying to reach that last bit! Length wise its about the same as a Stihl petrol one i think.
-
Never thought of it like that before but yes... going through all my saws in my head thats pretty bang on!
-
Cheers chaps, will take a look at SWAZIs offerings as ive got a few other bitd from them and theyre top notch!

As title suggests, i got very wet very quickly last week! my old jacket is now leaking like siv... (arbortec smock) what's everyone using in 2025? want something actually waterproof, not soft shell that is resistant for 10 minutes. if I'm climbing ill take the thing off regardless, so its more for ground work/ being out in the woods finding trees in a downpour! TIA

we went for the stihl procoms, seems like the battery life is better, plus audio in both ears. also, they're higher dB rated than the protos bt

The 230 is a much better chipper than the 150 performance wise, and from what I've heard they don't chew bearings anywhere near as bad. stretching to a 230 will benefit you long term. would probably swerve the Forst.
-
Theres no such thing as a chipper that's too big for the job, just too big for the jobsite. engine wise Kubota V1505 are great. TW150 are solid machines but the bearings are a constant battle, and theyre not exactly going to set the world alight chipping wise

They were African tool sellers mate, can remember names and they hardly spoke English, they buy direct from the thieves. eBay account was removed a few days later. Id wager 80% of accounts on eBay selling used tools are similar set ups. unfortunately people still buy off them and leave good feedback. That's why I only buy new tools now from HB or Skyland
-
yes had the serial numbers of a few from ordering spare parts etc, and lots of pictures of all the nicks and breaks on them. That's how first noticed my husky 560 on ebay.
-
They weren't the ones that stole them, they were an ebay shop with approx 300 other used tools on. They actually gave them up voluntarily after we turned up at their lockup, threatened to get the police down there ( they didn't know police weren't interested)
-
Police weren't interested, but we got the saws back
-
scumbags, keep an eye on selling sites, its amazing how thick some of these pricks are, all our saws were listed for sale together a month later on eBay
