I have bought a stihl 362 its a second hand 2010 model it previously had not been used with aspen fuel, previous owner mixed their own. I only really want to use aspen as I am led to believe it's better for the user, machines and environment. Is there anything I should do before putting aspen fuel in and starting it up or will it it be ok to just fill her up and go? Machine generally looks ok theres no scoring on piston etc, there's no fuel in tank currently except for a little remnants. Any help greatly appreciated thanks Hamilton -

Hi are any of our lovely sponsors planning on having a seasonal sale?

Morning all, here's a little question for you: I've been asked to quote for some upland regen. clearance. We mainly do climbing work so this is a bit outside my comfort zone pricing wise. The trees are spread out, all less than 15' high (the few that are more are to be brashed and ring-barked) some areas busy, whilst some there's nothing. All broadleafs are to be left. Now I know without seeing the site any answers are at best pretty vague, but if I have a few answers and I consider them along with the site visit I did yesterday that will give me a better idea than had I not asked. So, how many square meters do you think each chainsaw operator could do in a day? The ground is hard going upland boggy / heathery/ tufty grasses and bracen etc. Trees under 15' fell and leave, trees over 15' brash and ring-bark. Thank T. -
Found this on my youtube reccomended videos The prank itself is done well, but i think it goes a bit far, being in america it could have gone wrong very easily.....

I bought it a while ago on eBay but have no idea what make it is. Its running ok at the moment but will be able to get parts for it? It says 20:1 mixture but can I use a higher ratio if I use fully synthetic 2 stroke oil? So many questions, sorry.

Hi guys, New to the Forum, and although I've searched the threads can't quite find an answer I'm looking for! Wanted some advice on buying my first chainsaw. Not really doing any felling, but more working on the ground. Ringing and logging of max diameter 3 foot trees but alot of the time maybe smaller stuff like 20 inches. Will use it on average 3 days a week. Maybe 12 hours/week. Was thinking a husky 365 but is it more than I need? What would people recommend? What bar length is best? Has anyone got anything they're about to sell? Thanks in advance.

But im not to fussy if theres a second hand saw out there that would do the job. Cheers Matt

We have a post today on Landscape Hub inquiring about a chainsaw scupturist, (is that a word?) in South London. If anyone on Arbtalk is interested, I can pass on the message, (or you can do it yourself if you join Landscape Hub). I've mentioned the post was added today, (17th September 2013), because these things are often time sensitive and threads can be visible for months, (if not years). Here's the original thread on Landscape Hub - chainsaw sculpture needed - Landscape Hub Cheers, Gary

Hi all, I am pretty new to the industry and have been recommended to sign up to Arbtalk to get some advice on buying new gear. I have just finished my course and I am looking to buy some PPE, Climbing equipment and a topper (probably the new Husky 540 as its just arrived!). I live out in the sticks in the South West so ideally I am looking to get everything sent in the post... Any recommendations of where to buy from? Where have people had good service from? Cheers Stan

Hi I have been given an old chainsaw to mess about with. Unfortunately it doesn't start ( probably why my boss gave it to me for free). The chainsaw is 8-10 years old and has been sitting around for a year or so now. I have checked the spark plug and there appears to be a spark there, fuel line seems to be in a reasonable order. Could somebody please let me know what could be up with it and if its worth spending a few quid on getting it working again. Thanks, Luke

Hey guys, I have recently been handed down a husqvarna 141 saw. Nice little saw but I was using it yesterday and after around 30 mins of using, it decided to stop idling and cut out. I can get the saw started but as soon as I stop revving the saw cuts out. The husky does need a general service and I have just ordered a servicing kit. I have been advised that the problem could lie with the spark arrestor screen. Could this be the problem ??? Advise please I will take out a and clean the screen anyway

I have just tested the cut protection on 2 pairs of chainsaw boots. Neither managed to stop, or even significantly slow the chain; the kevlar on the Haix boots did not wrap round the sprocket at all, and on the Alico it wrapped slightly (see picture), but nowhere near enough to produce resistance. Infact the leather seemed to produce far more resistance than the kevlar! See the videos here: Chainsaw Boot Test - YouTube - Haix Protector Lights Chainsaw Boot Test - YouTube - Alico
