  1. I use a topdon js3000 , fantastic for the money had it twelve months never let me down ,I have a big expensive Snap on one it’s so heavy I never use it ,the little ones are great for awkward spaces ,
  2. As I said I have done crank bearings on stihl chainsaws in the past but not had dealing with husky’s, when you google it you see horror stories of damaging cranks and casing trying to do them with out the specific husky tools ,so if it was the case of having to buy a few hundred quids worth of tools for one case it’s not worth doing ,
  3. Thanks I will price the parts up including the sleeve tool ,when the dealers re open I’m thinking it’s the clutch side bearing that’s the issue would you change both bearings?
  4. Hi I have a Husky 562xp with suspected crank bearing issue, I have not started to work on it yet , done them on stihl branded saws , But as far I am hearing you need a load of specific tools to do it On these and the bearings are fortune , and it’s easier to buy the full new block, Has anyone had experience of doing these with success ?
  5. I have the topdon js3000 it’s been great for the money ,
  6. What about bolt on pallet forks fit direct to your bucket so you keep the weight down ,
  7. The thing is everyone thinks they can do this job but in reality watching a video YouTube doesn’t make you an expert, There are lot easier ways to make a living,As long as people will work for the money nothing will change, We had a customer suggest today could we not use a bow and arrow to bring down a snagged branch rather than pay us to climb the tree.
  8. We have m300 , it spends all its life outside , never had any problems with belts or bearings just a bit of grease to the bearing as long as the blades are sharp it will give you very little problems ,they are well made not over complicated loads of different lads have used ours who normally wreck an iron ball ,as yet none have broke it , good little machines
  9. We had similar thing once with wood chip dust on the roof of a soft top mini, Gave them £20 to get it washed they were made up easy fix , But we were on a site once were some guys were painting some railings with a spray gun on a windy day and covered all the cars in the car park with grey primer, I think that would take more than £20
  10. I think it is a shame a lot of people will lose there jobs, always had good service over the years, another sad way the economy is going,I bet they paid big money to Google to be first on every page ,It will be the end users who will lose out
  11. If you leave it until the autumn it will have dropped all it seed heads and they will grow back again, In our experience it takes about 5 years to get rid of it , we do the stem injection as well as spraying ,but the sooner you treat it the better ,
  12. 😂 good luck, I will check him out 👍
