Arbocut saw head trouble

[Charolais cattle]

Is your foot valve electric or hydraulic, they said your better with the hydraulic foot valve, gives saw chance to slow down much smoother ""

I'm the same my Arbocut saw head has given nothing but problems from the day it arrived new. My piston pump has done the exact same, completely destroyed itself. Ive a bigger 3rd line ruturn piped straight into the tank and have the oil pressure set to the recommended pressure, the blade free spins to a stop aswell so no strain on the pump. The dealer is no help whatsoever, just keeps telling me that's the first time they've known that to happen. I put it down to cheat floatation bearings in the pump. And don't start me on trying to source parts from them either. There overpriced scrap. Stay clear and buy a tree shear instead

The pump I replaced the origionial pump with is far better and has never given trouble since , I didn’t get it from arbocut, in fact I got nothing from them as they won’t answer their phone to anyone not even their dealers .
