  1. Alot of sprockets are harder to get hold of now , due to oregon buying up alot of its rivals, so where has ud get a rim and sprocket -more found on pro or saws of a certain cc... you will find it hard to cross over chains bars ,sprockets and stuff like that . It was a tosser going from 058 to 050 recently on an echo 37cc pro saw
  2. If its anything like the backpack brushcutter its slow, massively underpowered for a fourstroke so generally shite
  3. Oh dear you'll 😃, if it really have to ...for me id rather have a quick cutter over grunt , also depends if u want a forestry saw or more geared for tree work and dismantling. One size doesn't fit all,also recently tried other saws including an echo 4310 (i think) wasn't impressed with that . I feel husqvarna have lost their way now were on the 5 series and seems to be teething faults with certain models. I'm not tied to any one brand with saws and one might be good another might be crap . But the saws I'm currently running arent available anymore , All my stihl are gone ,all of the husqvarna are gone . I'm now running older none electrics echo , but compared to today's saws there ok. And efco /oleo mac ...old school series before everything got farmed out. Efco 156 is my equivilent to the 261, and efco 4100sp /4400 for the 241 ...gave fecking horrid back ache from that . But the efco and oleo mac last series were like the husqi 2/3 series ...I'm hoping ive enough till i retire
  4. Never been keen fan of them, I'm greatful my 241cm got stolen..although a pro saw was very heavy for a 40cc saw and the 260/261cm wasn't much better
  5. Because I'm only in it for the money , .I also turned down the chance to fly around the world with trant civil engineers doing airport surfaces ,but I didnt have enough info to make that a viable option either..hate to do it then get stung with a huge tax bill. If it doesn't pay enough I'm not interested to be honest . To be also straight -I'm not keen on Oz,new zealand, usa or Canada.
  6. Finally someone who can sharpen a saw properly!
  7. Going back to it at the time , circa 2001, done through an agency going on 1/4 of the facts ... thes isn't any point going out their if you dont come back with money ...plus being stuck with Australians .. great . I
  8. Someone who worked there ,in Oz said they like to live in gutters /cracks and hollows obviously got his facts wrong !either way id not want to take my chances with the little ****************ers
  9. Spiders funnel website not snakes , but it would be interesting to see how many had !
  10. Obviously, so why aren't arb trucks fitted with a mini fridge for viles of it, should anyone come into contact with it
  11. By all means chase the dream,I couldn't do it , partner would love to have done it as a paramedic ,but then one of her colleagues went there and came back within a month aboriginals with issues called ice a synthetic drug . I'd love to do it, and yes I've relatives out there ..but the spider thing i dont get why people dont carry anti venom with them in the first aid kits. When I looked into it ,Wether it was auz, new Zealand or America , because I would have done it through an agency in 2001 the wasn't that much difference in cost of living ,by the time u converted it over it was £50 and i wasnt sure how tax was done either (couldn't get a straight answer from accountant, hmrc or the agency) so no go for me or being stuck out somewhere !
  12. Oh the joys of the heat and funnel web spiders ,
  13. Thes a brand on eBay and f. Me there stable and got some reach but I need to check the brand
  14. Problem is the police, they dont understand that a terrorist doesn't have to have a faith in your typical sense , no fixed ideology think axel rudikhana and that other cretin like the one in Leicestershire then the was that twat in Liverpool driving a car through the crowd .. a terrorist can be anyone ,the police fail them by looking for Muhammed ...and it isn't It now gets down played as mental health shit ..then lessons will be learned -why the hunt knows right from wrong .
  15. Or criminals having an easier ride
  16. We never got taught about the Indians, Pakistanis , and the people from the common wealth helping us in ww2, it was always how good the poles were in world war two talking about race washing at school eh? But these people coming over might not be great people, we had the locally to us ,they were meant to help in the community did they fk one quoted me 'i dont do gardening its womens work'! Culturally they font share English values...hence all the shit going on now ,but they'll leave the country and come back in on different paperwork. Can't help thinking if we stayed out of wars people wouldn't have a lame excuse to come to England.
  17. Can't help thing much of the problem was people in the 60s who thought they to good to do certain roles.... that's when it started?or am I wrong .
  18. Mind u I dont like the french either are fault is were to f ing soft ... and labour screwing over everyone
  19. Not our problem , we've enough problems as is , We've enough scroats on benefits.
  20. The thing is ,these aren't Indians, Pakistanis, Afghanistan. According to the bbc they were from Vietnam, somalia ,Iraq ,albania and some other crap hole . I've no problem with people coming here legitimately, working, and contributing...but the woke middle class allowing these twats in, you dont know what were importing and when the woke middle class realise how or whats happend they will be dead ,then everyone else will be here to pick up the pieces yet again .
  21. The problem is we dont know about these immigrants, are they pedos,murderers, are they the next terrorists? These are financial migrants not people seeking refuge, they have different cultural values and why dont they stay in the first safe country ?
  22. And then we should get the lazy svroats in this country to work or starve them off benefits
  23. Had a stihl 201 t, was flat on power needed a new carb @£300 just out of warranty -never ran right from new and was not that great , neither a quick cutter like an 020t and no grunt also .😐 Only good thing about stihl is the resale value on eBay
  24. The cs362 t is just a bit bulky/slow not what I thought it would be from echo even though ive put a few tanks through it, its ok on the bigger work. regarding echo id agree with you . Cs362t reminds me of the cs270 the earlier top handle ...but at least it runs !
  25. I've two of the two 362tes, from new , bit bulky but OK echo haven't really cottoned of to furthering the machines . Can't common of echo 2511 have seen local council use them the other day and it did remind me of the stihl 020t . I've got the mitox clone of the echo 2511 , cheap quick and so far has been good . Don't like stihl being hit and miss with certain models .
