    Used to be able to do all manner of weird bar and chain combos ,until oregon hovered up alot of the brands . Main things the sprocket. Id have liked to put 0.43 on one of my saws but not sure if thats even possible!

    281 or xp was a beautiful saw , cant knock it, as an early teen i had the chance to use that and some of the other 2 series Huskies, saw i never liked or struggled to handle was the 3120xp. With a long bar on it - like some of ther bigger Huskies were never balanced right

    Ex boss brought one, when factory made it was more sluggish than the 351/353. Felt as bulky as the stihl 391 farm boss . Maybe it's the one built on a Friday,

    Im weary of th, as a business im not going into it as it will sound like more fking Bullshit. I dunno why people aren't straight , I cant be done with bull . Spose one reason why you'd not hear about admin of a big company is fall in shareholders. But they were good chippers
  8. Tree monkey 1682
    Another dealer another load of bullshit.but id steer clear of th as a company
  9. Tree monkey 1682
    Ive Just googled that, but why are equipment dealers in the west county lieing hunts? Second dealer second bullshit . I stay away from that company above ..

    Just had a conversation about changing wood chippers with a local dealer , part ex kind of thing only to find jensen woodchippers are now in administration ..dont know if this is a new thing or not ..but surprising!

    Yes, I find it stressful. I dont want to hoard saws but I just want something that will work that your not having plug in to a laptop to fix. I dont want to be forced into battery powered stuff, it doesn't sit well with me . Im trying not to hoard to much but im also finding going to dealers miles away or dealers not carrying stock any more -we will order in when asked for it . Also alot of the independent small people who carried stock dont exist any more , so no going down the road to pick one up. You've only now got the big three or in my case two as I only like husqvarna and echo , efcos newer saws are made in China But I dont want a load of saws ,just to be able to get a saw that feels compatible with me, does a days work , and is safe.

    I brought the above when i was young then up graded, thats my personal experiance, If someone wants an easy lightweight, basic , stands upto abuse ,would pass basic training then go for it, Bloke/woman/person 1st saw thats all. Things like certain small stihls have never been "quick" husqvarna yes but not stihl . Husqvarna are ok echo are ok. But nothing to write home about . If times precious why bother cutting your own wood? I find echo neither quick nor slow , husqvarna scream and stihl are just grunt.
  14. Tree monkey 1682
    Echo 310 , cheap and cheerful, basic, you could learn on it and with a 14" bar you could fell 28" diameter trees and 400 left over . Depends what you want to do with it and what you intend doing with it . Move on to a better saw after you've learned . I expect to be laughed , but hey, I started with a stihl 017

    Never had a problem. The only problem I did have was the ramps were to tight. Took to factory,free service, free ratchet straps and shown how they were built .quite interesting really
