    They weren't jacked up like that ,these were the stock units , 1960s units not later 80s like that .. these were the above engines and both autos, has it got to be a 1980s unit .

    Is it that horrid ,wide, crude looking thing that can only carry 250kgs ? Either a v8 or a straight 4 configuration? If so one of my friends sold one recently ! The is someone also locally that messes around with them local to me but dont think he sells them
  3. Tree monkey 1682

    Marlow used to be great, but its on par cost wise with yale cordage rope, both have limited stretch, good for knots etc, Also I have an old decommisioned rope and its rather strong to put it mildly. Only problem fault with marlow can snag on leylanndii gads/ sharp stubs

    Horrid mark, along with thevstihl 241cm ...if only they made a pro version of the stihl ms250....that was great and a quick cutter ....
  7. Tree monkey 1682

  8. Tree monkey 1682

    Ebay for manuals or agri manuals? They might have something similar , could you even have shorted a fuse ?

    Handsaws buddy, but then you need to learn how to 'set' a saw also if your careful you might be able to touch up bandsaw blades

    I know of two maybe three climbers still climbing in there 70s but its a hard demanding job ,everyone will be different. Think alot of it is down to how you look after yourself.

    I flogged my 260, it went in for an overhaul at a pro garage, and still ended up being a hunt to start . Never a keen fan bit bulky and slow

    Apart from a classic defender holds its value

    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!
  16. Tree monkey 1682
    Arrh.. battery powered chainsaws, lovely

    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!😔

    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
  21. Tree monkey 1682
    Another dealer another load of bullshit.but id steer clear of th as a company
  22. 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 ..
  23. Tree monkey 1682
    Never got on with a 357, not sure what it was trying to be .
  24. Tree monkey 1682
    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.
