I like the Jonsered Vector 3-55 harness....:laugh:


:greenchainsaw:[/QUOTE]

After hours of thinking (more like 2 min) i realised why i like stihl comfort harness more than jonsy/husky harrness. Its becouse those straps on jonsy harness are thin while in stihl harness theyre wide... And the reason i dont like thin straps is that they dig into your shoulders....

That's about what my brother says also, and he has lots of experiense with brushcutters and clearingsaws - but I don't know if he has used the latest offerings from Husky/Jred......

The Jonsered/Husqvarna harnesses have good padded wide straps and have had it for some time now, but yes back in time the straps was thin. Now this days Jonsered/Husqvarna harness have detail's that don't even exist on a STIHL harness, and STIHL didn't have anything like Jonsered/Husqvarna top model comfort harness last time I was looking around.
:D
 
Tanaka

Sorry to say I have tried Echo, Stihl, Husqvarna scrub bars on the same job as we run 2x Tanaka scrub bars. The job took three months, and we were using around 10x blades a week. I was one of the first to spin 10in Tungstan Tip blades desiged by Linbide for scrub cutting. This was a long time ago, but I still run, the new Tanaka I bought for this job, and the old Tanaka we took out to the job, is still going as well. Alright some work has been done to both units, but no major problems.
My point here is, we had trouble with all three other scrub bars on that job.
The manufacture's said it was due to spinning Tungstan Tip Blades. Strange the Bloody Tanakas just kept on going and going.
I now spin a three point that never seems to get any damage, this on full noise will do the business.
Tanaka for me mine is TBC500 and the old one is a TBC 450

Good

The brand new 45cc Husky chewed the shaft in under 10days, as I said above they argued it was the blades we were spinning. The Sthil broke the clamp on the drive head in under 2x weeks of use, and the Echo I seem to remember gave up all together. These were 3x brand new machines. They all said it is because the Tungstan tip blades are chunking blades loading up the drive heads and shafts.
These machines were clocking up 40/50hrs a week over a 3month period, well at least the Tanakas were.
Thanks for the reply Clive
