  1. The stihl bumper spike are no where the size of the yank ones if that's what your picturing
  2. Hi I'm after some larger than standard felling spikes for a ms 500i. Inside only. Some googling suggests that they are the same as the stihl 064 1122 664 0505 Others suggest the same as the 460 1122 664 0506 Has anyone changed theirs to the above and can say for sure which is the one? Thanks
  3. So is a Gasket delete a case if removing the Gasket to to lower the casing to improve compression? Does it need to be done along side other 'port' work or can it be a stand alone thing?
  4. Although I'm pretty sure stihl don't make a 30"...
  5. Not 30" but after some Google, I found that for a 25" stihl light bar was the lightest option. So would assume the same for 30"
  6. My 460 is set up for arb work, so has a full wrap handle which is staying on. This makes it wank for getting low felling cuts though ...
  7. Well I have just been given a 461 on need of some love so that answers that- no new saw just some TLC on a 461
  8. Small saw is currently a 540ixp. Love it for snedding.
  9. Hi. I have landed myself a larch felling Job. The work is in a mixed woodland, just felling larch, to be used by the estate for biomass. Where as I am very happy felling, I have realised I know nothing of extraction other than what is logical to work out. I predominantly do arb work so have never worked along side extraction operations. So what I am after is to learn of the methods used to efficiently extract timber in a mixed woodland where selected felling is happening ie. We can't clear fell and damage is to minimised during felling and extracting. I won't be extracting myself, the estate team have a winch/trailer/tractor and will be collecting the wood. Although there are also inexperienced. I can see that a better knowledge of the process for myself and I can better prepare the timber for them etc if I know how is best to extract it. And also help them learn. So is there anyone in Cumbria area who has this kind of job on who I can come and work for a couple of days to learn a system?
  10. I have just been given a ms461. Which is working sub maximal. I had a look through the exhaust port and it seems OK in there. So filter and carb arr the obvious things to check. It has had the limiter caps removed on the carb previously. What is the process for reseting the carb with limiter caps? Whilst fiddling I also noticed the L adjuster when tweaking kind of springs back a tiny bit, so you turn it say anticlockwise the it will return clockwise a tiny amount. Is that normal?
  11. Does it pull the 20" bar when the whole bar is in wood OK?
  12. Yes I have used one and thought it was OK. Much better the the 362. Never tried it on a 20" bar though..
  13. I'm in the market for a new saw, the use will be felling on a 20" bar, felling cuts only predominantly as I use small saws to sned. The 2 options I see are: Echo 621sx- £819 Inc Vat. Husqvarna 562xp Mk2 (or mk1?)- £819 inc Vat, this is on Radmorr tucker, doesn't specify mk1 or 2 and 18" bar not 20"? The stihl MS462 was considered, however its more monies and I already have a 460, soon to be ported so no need for this saw to run a big bar and keen to save the money. So I am after some input from others, which of those would you recommend or is there overs I've missed?
  14. Do they not get taken down in the normal way on hexa chains?
  15. Hi. Does anyone have a taz lov2 sitting unused they'd like to sell on? Thanks
  16. Some that point the spike slightly forward towards the toe rather than straight down for me..
  17. This item is SOLD

    2021 Stihl ms500i (Engine unit only) The is spares or repair. The saw requires a new injection module. The rest of the saw is in good used condition. It would benefit from parts no 63 & 28 also on the stihl diagram, these are cracked so would be better replaced. I purchased this saw 2nd hand, but unfortunately was not told about this fault and returning it is not possible. So This is what I know and have done: The saw starts and idles fine, it splutter and stalls when revved. The pot and piston are unmarked and in excellent condition viewed through the exhaust port. It has had a new fuel and air filter to eliminate this as potential fault. The saw has been pressure checked, all seals etc are fine. The saw has been to the fixers on diagnostics and came back with the injection module as the likely fault. The problem likely occurred by the wrong fuel filter being fitted which did not have a fine gauze to filter shite from going to the injector. I do not have the spare time or finances to pursue this further. Any questions please ask, ill do my best to answer in detail.

  18. Hi, I'm wandering if anyone has any broken 500's? I'm in need of an injector module only. Thanks
  19. 6.6 Anyone proposing to cut down a tree under this exemption is advised to give the LPA five days' notice before carrying out the work, except in an emergency. Anyone who is not sure whether the tree falls within the exemption is advised to obtain the advice of an arboriculturist. This is from that document which uses the word advised.
  20. That could be good reasoning for it yes. But is it a legal requirement to give 5 days notice?
  21. A private estate. My understanding is that is all that is needed. The tree is exempt, and therefor not covered by a TPO, therefor carry on. The photos are an obvious thing to take many of to provide evidence should you be questioned on it
  22. Yes I had seen this, It then led me to look in the T&CPA to try and find out where it actually states this is a requirement but I could not see it
  23. Yes I understand it may be deemed polite to keep the TO in the loop. I am still wanting to find the exact wording as I would like to know if the notice is actually required or not.
  24. I have a big dead tree over multiple gas tanks to remove the tree has a TPO(group). This is now exempt as it is both dead and dangerous, no lesser work apart from removal is adequate. My questions are: Is a 5 day notice actually required and still a thing? it seems pointless as the tree is exempt from the TPO so it's coming down regardless. Where in the T&CPA does it discuss exemptions and how to deal with them, I have looked through and cannot see, perhaps I am overlooking it? I have taken my information so far from memory and the following link: Paragraph's 60 & 79. /assets/static/govuk-opengraph-image-dade2dad5775023b0568381c4c074b86318194edb36d3d68df721eea7deeac4b.png Tree Preservation Orders and trees in conservation areas - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Explains the legislation governing Tree Preservation Orders and tree protection in conservation areas. Thanks Josh
