I had a couple of Chinese cheapies given to me -brand new.
Nearly impossible to get carbie adjustment correct for steady, full power. Good thing there were two. Need the second one to cannabilise to keep one going.

Have a Stihl now (only a baby) but way superior.

I got a Husqvarna, It goes like the clappers and is made In Sweden :good:
It is a bit heavy but it tears through the hardwood no worries :ok:

My son has a huskie. Lovely piece of gear and outstanding performance.
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

I had to change my tyres on my Pajero a couple of years back and went back to The Tyre Factory on Ballarat Road here in Melbourne.   Got a good deal for a full set of five, balanced and wheel alignment.  

However, when they checked the computer, as I was a past customer, they couldn't believe that I had got 109,000 Kms out of the tyres that I had just got rid off.   I had them for just on four or five years with only two puctures in that time.

I rotate all my tyres each time the car goes for servicing.   The spare goes forward to the drivers front, the drivers front to the drivers rear, the drivers rear to passenger front, passenger front to passenger rear, passenger rear to spare.   It is a system I have been doing for years.   The mecanics don't like it when I instruct them to rotate my tyres in the sequence I want them rotated ijn.

Besides, I have a secret number on each of my rime to ensure the rotation has been done in accordance with my instructions.   Never failed yet.

If I get a flat, the spare replaces it until the falt is fixed and the tyre goes back where it came from.

It really does extend the life of the tyre.

Brand of tyres used on the Pajero were Hancooks.   I certainly have no hesitation in recommending them.



Car is 3.5yrs old and I'm not happy I have to replace the tyres after just 35,000km. Never used the spare, not even sure if it's one of those space saver spares. They tell me though that's how many k's the av tyre will get though.

Slow down on the Hooning and circle work PP and your tyres will last a whole lot longer :diablo::laugh2::angel:

To the best of my memory, I have never spun my wheels in all the years I have been driving.   My tyres are the last thing I want to waste.
