    +1 to the above, the Titan is a really solid choice. Also my 80 year old father has used a McCulloch corded saw for the last 5 years to cut pallets and other shite for firewood. As much of a brand snob as I am I  would love to hate on it but I can't fault it. Plenty of power, always ready, easy to clean up and sharpen. If you can manage the cord the £55 Titan at Screwfix is a winner.

    I had never heard of Titan before. Seems like a bit of a high-end name. Thanks.

    I bought a new Toro Turfmaster in the UK before I headed out to France, cost me a grand on eBay, €2400 here.

    Twin blade, 76cm cut, Kawasaki commercial engine.

    It has the option for collection bag or side eject mulcher.

    One thing I really like is the engine keeps running without the blades being engaged whilst you empty the bag,, saves a lot of stop/starting.

    Had it a year, cutting an acre twice a week, never dropped a beat so far.

    Thanks for information. I had the opportunity to evaluate this issue while looking for a new honda mower.

    Give Rotatec chains a try.

    I’d not say they where the best chain out there but two 18” chains delivered for £20 they certainly are the best value for money. The pre-stretch is good. They hold their sharpness very well. And so far they’ve sharpened nicely.

    I could not find the exact address of those who provide this service. Does Rotatec have an address?

    Thanks all. I found Salix alba elaegnos, narrow leaved rosemary willow, which has similar coloured / shaped leaves, but not sure about the shape of the actual tree. I thought those spiked leaf edges would give it away, but if there are lots of similar hybrids, perhaps not.

    I was just about to talk about this. Good thing I noticed your message. :) Good rosemary. Take care of that tree, my friend. It's a good start...

  5. Of course, it is sometimes difficult to find reviews for such large-scale tools on the internet. :) However, you can watch videos on Youtube. I especially take into account the comments of farmer friends. I had the chance to watch a few. Of course, there are those who are not satisfied, but this does not prevent you from getting it. He looks like a good beast.  🤭

  6. The pay wasn't bad at all. I use other power tools for this. Of course, if time is important to you. :) You should provide shipping to companies working for it. Since I have plenty of time and a quick hand, I sharpen my knives on my machines. I hope you will find good company and you will not regret it. Good luck... ❤️

    It's really bad to see them like this. I am also a farmer. While being natural, the result is frustration when there is no medicine. 😒

  8. If you are using a product with an exposed grill, it would be right to protect it. :) If It's causing problems, why not try to avoid the rain? Precautions can be taken. Exercise caution, knowing that power tools always carry such risks. Stay well please. :)

    Hi there!

     

    To clarify, when you say the chain stops in the cut, are you saying the chain has literally stopped moving, or just that it has stopped cutting? There is such a thing as a running chain that doesn't cut. Sometimes a serious burr on the bar guide rails can snag the side of the cut. If the chain has really stopped, check the clutch, and please don't use the saw anymore until the problem is fixed - trust me, I blew up my 461 like this!

    Sorry, I just noticed it now. I think last night's alcohol may have had an effect. 🙂 Believe me, you did the best with answering. Thank you for your contributions. I have a lot to learn in this forum. Yours truly...
