Sweet will have to see a pic of mum and bub pony when it happens if there still at your place.
last time flying here Spoon koop long ago it was getting so busy like a airport you had to wait for a slot.. its nice hill but too small for more than 4 kites & once para-gilders turned up you spend most time watching out not enjoying the sky.. i gave the long drive to here away..

Got quoted $50 for a new chain from the Stihl dealer for a 20in 3/8 . Is that about right. last one I bought about 3yrs ago was $36.

Makes it hard to buy Stihl chain when the others seem to be half the price.

I’ve always been frustrated at the high price of Stihl chain but it seems to be a lot harder wearing than cheaper chain. Carlton chain in my opinion seems to be the closest in quality to the Stihl stuff. It’s no point having chain that’s half the price if it wears out twice as quick [emoji2369]

Oregon pricing has gone through the roof and quality questionable as a lot is starting to come out of Brazil. Carlton hasn’t changed. The rest has questionable quality control so you don’t know if you’ll get a good loop or a bad one
got a 100ft roll of carlton canadian made 3/8 semi for 370 delivered a while back, saw it on gumtree. edited to add, it was whites forestry, think they got a pallet load in, and did a cheap price to kick things off.
Adelaide tools used to have affordable stihl chains, 37ish for a 20" loop going by memory, and cheap stihl bars, 80 for a 20" E bar, last time I visited, I didnt have the funds for some light bars they had on the wall at the time, kick myself I didnt get them then, but have been bought out by westfarmers, and now only deals with husky.

Glad to see the arse end of Adelaide tools. Where the worst thing for the dealer network. No knowledge or support just burnt stock. I’ll help people out where I can

most on here are newbies and probably don’t know me, me and a number of other aussies started this thread years ago. I’m a Stihl dealer in SA and can supply all stihl parts and accessories. I can also get all other brands of chain and bars. So if you need anything yell out

Dam gun safes.
Had no idea on the burn stock etc Just passed by one day and saw the large stihl logo on the shop front, went in, large display, more stock etc.
prices up here are really high, so a trip to tanunda stihl, or further down into a town stihl and chain and bar prices came down considerably.
I want to buy local, and try when I can, but when its 40% higher at the shops here, than elsewhere, it makes it difficult to do so.
Not sure when my next trip to town will be, but will let you know and put a list together, appreciate you letting me know, you located south of town ?
And thanks for the dribble thread too
