    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

    Hey, yes did try but my coils made in sweden, and didnt look like that!😔
  3. Tree monkey 1682
    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
  5. Tree monkey 1682
    Another dealer another load of bullshit.but id steer clear of th as a company
  6. 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 ..

    Never got on with a 357, not sure what it was trying to be .

    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.
  11. 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
  13. Tree monkey 1682
    Do you want the dealers phone number and you can moan ,whine, and bleat to him about it? Grow up ffs stop being bitter and trying to pull everyone down. I dont have the time to fact check everything .

    If found the group better than the nhs , nhs was good at one point , but now they've gone woke -you open up and the councillors go running -they cant cope with death, flipping pathetic. And last time I spoke to them they said they couldn't help due to funding - after that they said 'is tye anything else I can do to help'? I said what would u do if I said id self harm or worse , the reply was silent... I just said pathetic hunts and hung up . Alot of the guys are on a broad spectrum , I thought id dispise it due to not liking to integrate, I carry people and I see alot of people as weak, not wanting to help themselves. Yet people failure freshold is many levels , mines high . Problem is men dont talk, then its too late ..its never easy recovering a body and explaining to family
  15. Tree monkey 1682
    Ha, I was going to put this up, you beat me to it, from my experience a lot better than steps to well being through the nhs

    Was referring to ifor trailers ,and what the dealership said, not myself, they only stock m&e, brian james and cheval librte as horse trailers , They were the guys that said it, id not buy ifor, a , because I dont like supporting Wales, b, the build quality is shite, and c, they aren't the same as they used to be . Compared to the other english manufacturers
  17. Tree monkey 1682
    The dealer ship were wrong ive just googled and its heritage , going how they are now built especially looking and driving with there horse trailers ,they look like portaloos, handle like shite and damage easily . As goes for sunset sunseeker I know, we have 2 factories in our county .
  18. Tree monkey 1682
    Brian james plant trailers , better built , chival librte as a horse trailer Small ifor as a small single axle trailer . Hoping to buy and m&e trailer at some point .
  19. Tree monkey 1682
    Ive miss read the thread, sorry, but I do believe its owned by Chinese now, same as sunseekers is owned by the Chinese, slowly hoovering up big uk firms
  20. Tree monkey 1682
    I never know why they didnt put two speed tracking on them, ex boss had a 150 and it was slow also
  21. Tree monkey 1682
    Scrap it , could be opening can of worms and its a cheapo saw, decent carbs are not cheap and ud be half way there with labour for a new saw ,
  22. Tree monkey 1682
    I get it and completely understand , then I read it through again, and whopper choppa was referring to for being sold to.flip flops . Im referring to log splitters cooking themselves. See you've answered yourself decent size oil reservoir, most sub ten ton diggers and log splitters dont have that, so all the machinery ive brought has oil coolers fitted from factory standard
  23. Tree monkey 1682
    We had two crapuchi diggers that cooked rams, two log splitter that weeped oil-using it to much . The only think thats ever survived continually being used is machines fitted with a hydraulic oil cooler , stops rams, valve blocks and o rings from weeping
  24. Tree monkey 1682
    Welcome to.think what you'd like , but why do you think it doesn't happen then? After oil gets squeezed and compressed it gets hot , with no way to cool down, same happens in diggers . Would you drive a car for a 100 miles without coolant or a radiator?
  25. Tree monkey 1682
    Im quite well of what the timber goes for and what happens to it the difference is filters, temperatures and a bottom ash. What do you think happens to the bottom ash then ?
