My mate Jon the (now part time) fencer has a 115i and a 111 he has had since new (or at least one of them, the other had minimal use before he acquired it) and they are still running strongly.
He does baby his gear as he has no mechanical knowledge
at all, and he's the slowest fencing contractor I've ever seen in my entire life by a long shot but they are still 25yo saws earning their keep.
He's the bloke that made me aware of Dolmar in particular and that there were saws other than Stihl.
Yes fella's, I once believed that saws, brushcutters and
serious OPE
only came from near Stuttgart in Germany and no where else. :msp_sad:
I've never acknowledged this before publicly, but it just feels like the right time to lay my heart open and confess my simple misunderstanding that the path to true redemption lay only at the altar of the almighty Church of Orange and Grey and it could not be forsaken without dire consequences.
Through the gentle, guiding hand of my brother Jon, eventually I came to realise that the path to true redemption lay elsewhere, and that Hamburg and Huskvarna are also sites of great significance, reflection and even worship in their own right.
My eyes were opened, my heart healed and lo and behold brothers and sisters I came to realise that it was not sinful to look, nay even
lust after other shapely and svelte German and Swedish saws, that the path to true saw happiness could and in some cases should be derived from Hamburg and Huskvarna and lo it came to pass that I was saved.
There endeth my confession and I hope it may make a salutary lesson for those still imbibing of the slightly spiked nectar of the Church of Orange and Grey.
Even if it only saves one more soul from sniffing the tainted fumes my job is done.
